It does not, but funny true story.

When I was about 9yo or so, I had that transformer along with several others. I was headed to CT for the summer to spend time with my family and I would regularly travel back and forth from my home in FL to CT by myself. Going through security, I had that model and it was currently in the gun stage sitting in my carry on bag. The security people freaked out.

My mom, who was going through security as well (back then, you could walk someone all the way to the gate) was trying to explain to them it was just a toy. They wouldn't let me bring it on the plane and I was heartbroken, lol. The security guy even said, that if it was in my bag as the robot, they wouldn't have cared or even noticed.

I was stupid for not thinking it would be an issue, but hey - I was 9 and it was the early 1980's.

Fun times.
