Well, I busted my leader Prime. The first time I transformed him I couldn't disconnected the chest panels as I was sure the instructions were telling me to. I kept trying exerting a bit more force each time. Eventually I got it out. But I instantly noticed a stress mark on the small peg that holds it in.

After transforming him the 2nd and subsequent times, disconnecting the panel was seamless, putting no pressure on said peg. However, the damage was done, and today the peg fell off. I'll get a replacement this week.

I think this will be common.

(It's still an awesome Transformer!)

Argg, that sucks! I thought there might be a twinkle in your eye for the upcoming <$70 Big W sale though

Can you take a photo of how (badly?) it sits in robot mode without the peg? Definitely a case for using Movie Leader 1 Prime for truck mode display! ... or at the very least, shaving a tad off those pegs.

There's a stress mark on one of the pegs on my Leader OP as mentioned by jay. It will pop off after a few too methinks. This is not good. Might leave him in bot mode.

kurdt - it kinda springs up to about ear height of Optimus' head. So it's noticeable.

EDIT:
After fear of a broken peg for the chest piece on LEader Prime I figured the best way to get it off with minimal stress on the pegs.

1. Slide it up to the widest gap. There should be about half a centimeter from the top.

2. Don't pull it out by force!!! Just gently tilt it inwards and just pry out the peg and it should come out with little force.

3. Reattach at the same point for bot mode.

You and your demolishor love! That clip convinced me that he isn't as bad as I expected.

Demolisher rocks! Buy legends class Optimus for added fun.

Yes indeed! Maybe if they included legends prime (battle damaged version perhaps?) with Demolishor more people would think him worthwhile, who knows. Man I can't wait to see him command his troops in the movie.
