the reports of breakages are few at best, have seen people who had transformed him back and forth many times and still ok, scratch wise that is a more valid issue but an expected one really, considering the whole toy is painted and parts rubs against each other during transformation.

The silencer part scratching is prob the more commonly reported one but some may want to reduce the scratch by sanding down the internal parts to reduce the potential scratching
