Transformers with GPS, BP, and any fragile parts

[tjparkside]

@ tjparkside - You sure these are common issues and not just problems arising from these toys being 25 years old and being handled extensively?

I know some people have troubles with Soundwaves chest compartment but I'm sure this is just from overuse. I've never noticed these issues with my Megatron or Kickback...

you are right-most of what i mentioned are probably overuse/age issues.

Another one is the clips at the waist tower of Grand Max. They are easily broken and not way to be replaced due to the METAL PIN on the tower waist, damn it

Sadly, 2003 RiD Megabolt suffers from GPS.

Universe 2.0 Powerglide arm ratchets are too tight. Twisted the arm right off second time transforming it.

Movie 2007 Transscan Bumblebee joint sockets prone to snapping, both the legs and waist have snapped on mine.

Don't know if it counts but the shoulder pins on my Animated Wreck-Gar always work their way out when transforming and I have to knock them back in with a hammer or something.

Hmmm with all these additions coming in, mebbe there should be an updated list in the very first post. Listed per series - Tf name/character and then next to it is the description of what parts is fragile/easily broken from it can also include (mebbe) who added this issue ... so that it eill easier used as reference rather than scrolling pages and pges of the thread. When this thread reaches like20+ or so it's gonna get confusing and hard. Plus, it's a good reference for those who want to add more to the list so there be no double listing once they've scanned thru the first page list....

PCC Mudslinger Commander toy.

I let my cousin play with the figure and when trying to put together the combiner mode his (R) hip joint snapped. My cousin is very careful with both his and my TFs and he is 11.

I managed to save the joint by using small strips of duct tape, but this is a warning to all to be careful with this one.

Just in case anyone wanted to throw a few thousand dollars at a G2 First Aid, note that he too suffers from GPS.
