This happened to me too.

This is the first i've heard of the foot snapping I've heard plenty of horror stories about the shoulders breaking during transformation and even just standing there on display.

My Hasbro Rodimus's ratchet joint at the knee broke. I don't think the plastic was fully formed on the ring part of the joint.

On the other hand my Takara one, the version that is super fragile, is in perfect condition.

Sorry to hear about this. It's a very poorly designed toy. I can certainly see the foot snapping given the pressure required to move it and position with the poor quality of plastic.

My 2 yr old just broke a smokestack off my 5 yr olds mp10, just by knocking it off a table onto soft carpet

Ages 5 and up my bum!

...transformed BW Grimlock today... broke a bit of gold plastic. Fortunately it's not hugely important, it's part of the hole at the back of the robot leg that pegs into the raptor chest. Now that part of it has broken off, it doesn't peg in very solidly, but it still holds in place. It's not as bad as when one of his robot feet's heel spurs broke off. *sigh* Needless to say that I very rarely handle toys w/ GPS. I was transforming Grimlock ever so slowly and carefully and still managed to break part of the gold plastic! Gah.

Shortly after that happened, I had this scenario appear in my mind...
MC: "Welcome to BotCon, and our first guest from Hasbro is the person who introduced gold plastic for Transformers!"
Crowd jeers. Anything not nailed down is thrown at the guest.

1st mistake Goki, you should know better than that.
I both sympathise & empathise with you mate, it's friggin' heartbreaking in a way and never goes down easy.

I imagine the person responsible for introducing said polymer into Transformer's manufacturing, keeps a very low profile and is forced to cry himself to sleep every night as he's unable to close his eyes without seeing the scores of children, infant & adult-alike, who's hearts he's broken with such an inexcusable act!
