The piece of plastic that Superion/Galvatronus' head sits on is very thin, and I only recently noticed something. Because of how you have to flip the combiner head to allow it to collapse into the main bot's body, it stresses VERY easily. I've transformed Cyclonus into torso mode less than a handful of times, but I'm already seeing stress marks on Cyclonus' lower abdomen, just above the pin that allows the combiner head to rotate out of the body. It's never been an issue with Silverbolt, who've I've had since he came out, and have transformed into torso mode several times. But just tonight, I transformed him out of Superion mode and the same place I noticed stress marks on Cyclonus, I'm now seeing slight CRACKS on Silverbolt! Does anyone know if this a common issue with the figure, and if there's any way to fix it? I'm being careful transforming him for now, but if the cracks get much worse and he breaks, would superglue be an effective fix?
I remember someone having this issue with Silverbolt way back when he was first released. I've not heard anything since then. I know I'm careful when transforming him because of what you describe here.
If you can, maybe take a picture of the affected area and post it in the
Transformers Workshop thread. I've found much helpful advice over there for dealing with some of these sorts of problems.
