I mean, it didn't really have any articulation. And I think we're all giving it a big pass when it comes to movie accuracy. Also, no need for real fists (most combiners get flak for claw hands). So it's a good combiner, but our expectations of it are really, really low.

It's also Legends class. Considering the size restrictions, HasTak did an AMAZING job with it.

I'm not a drop test expert either, but I don't think that has anything to do with it.

Okay, but you can get Hercules for like $300 in shops over in China so from now on we'll just consider him a $300 toy then. Or six $50 toys which is about the same price as a voyager United figure.

Can somebody explain to me the different categories that may effect the outcome of said "drop test"? Logically thinking, a TF would do less damage than a Lego City dropped from the height? (Think of all those annoying small studs) Are there different levels of drop testing-ness(?) Cheers.

Well, the thing is, Lego pieces are modular. They're meant to break away and because of this, usually cause less injury or damage.

A Transformer falling from said height (I believe it's 3 feet...) is problematic because if it breaks, it can shatter and those pieces can become small shrapnel. Smaller chunks could be swallowed, etc. Even entire limbs or sections of the figure could go flying and cause injury.

A-haaa... Now it makes a bit more sense. I thought they just put on their safety goggles and hurled the buggers down the stairs regardless of the toy. Thanks Autobot032!
