Share your scars - the transformers injury thread.

Nearly shot my eyes out when I first stared at Optimal Optimus' pretty green chest light, as the switch that activates it also fires the missiles! While I didn't admit to it at the time, I did allude to this hazard in my review of this toy which I wrote back in 1998...

Again, be careful not to pull the switch all the way back. In this mode, the missiles are also pointing in the same direction as the eyes, so if you're looking at the blinking eyes with missiles loaded, there's a risk that the missiles may launch into your face. The missiles are blunt and too long to present a choking hazard, but still - having the missiles launch into your eyes would not be the most pleasant of experiences.

I melted my G1 Megatron attempting to dry him off using the wife's hairdryer. Does that count?

Couldn't find scissors so was opening a back of Bot Shots on Fathers Day with a knife, the string broke and I stabbed myself in the back of my left hand really deep!
