Transformers with GPS, BP, and any fragile parts

[kup]

Has anyone else had any problems with Universe/Classic Rodimus? I was looking at mine the other day and the shoulders where the pins are have caused stress marks to form, even though I have maybe transformed him 3 times in his existence. I'll take some photos later on tonight to show what I mean.

I have to check mine, I don't remember any stress marks though and I have transformed it like 50 times.

The shoulder on my Rodimus completely snapped eventually - I mean I played with it a reasonable amount. Maybe 25 - 30 transformations down the years?

I still don't think that'd be enough to destroy it.

I'd get another one but the upcoming FP armour has driven the price up above what I'm willing to pay.

Oh also re brittle plastic, the first live action movie deluxe class Brawl, specifically the automorph gears that get his treads to filp up onto his shoulders were very prone to cracking (this was remedied for the RotF Desert redeco as they used a different kind of plastic).

Those are the pins I mean. As well as that, I noticed there s a stress mark on both arms where the yellow peg connects to the arm. Kind of annoying.

I just checked mine. It's ok - Thankfully.

Mine is the original Classics release, was yours part of the 2 pack or was it like that out of the package?

I think it was the single pack. I can't remember, it was so long ago I think I still have the package for it, just have to look for it.

Yeah I ask to see if there is a manufacturing difference between these two releases. I have no stress marks on mine despite several transformations and even playing around to see if I can match the Protector 'before armor' configuration.

I just noticed the same problem on mine. Damn these massive piehooks of mine!!
