Aside from the usual Beast Wars Neo Randy that also broke on me upon taking it out of the package, Longrack also has brittle red plastic with the spring mechanism shattering the red plastic in its claw arm over time.
It shot out the claw and knocked another BW Neo toy in my shelf.
Another reminder that these are just toys... ain't built to last :(
This is the photo of the Choro-Q Hot Rodimus, showing the chunk of brittle plastic that was punched through the inside of the toy - the tab under the wings should have popped out of the dimple in the maroon panel, but instead, it ripped out the surrounding plastic. A little later, I found the tiny tab, which had broken off in the process.

It will never by transformed again, due to the fragile sounds to the creaking of the plastic. :(
BIB is the way to go for that bot, griff! :p
Surprised that the rubber wheels still remain intact!
Ironic given that some of the biggest offenders of GPS are G1 toys :pQuote:

Now, I was playing with my Mp Starscream, Hasbro first release. Went to transform him, and noticed the plastic around the pins to flip the wings were cracked. So again back to robot mode where he shall remain
That's rather concerning seeing that it's a new toy :oQuote:
