Mine won't even hold his weight. It's like it just melts to a pile at his joints. And his left forearm disconnects if you spin it, bend it, pose it in any fashion.

Like the look and design. But the assembly and quality is terrible.

So, I'm standing at 1-2. One merely good figure - SP. And two not so good figures - Voy Ironhide and Deluxe Crankcase.

Mine's slightly loose on the left leg, so much that it popped off during transformation. But I made him stand up by threatning him that I will throw him in my pile of lava. Just kidding, it just naturally holds his weight for me.

Mine has a loose pincer, its annoying because it's always hanging down in vehicle mode. If you want to tighten his joints, put clear nail varnish on the ball joint and when it hardens, the joint will be tight. I of course used pink nail varnish on Roadbuster because I couldn't find clear nail varnish so Roadbuster has pink armpits

It was my mother's nail varnish LOL

His ball joints seem fine to be honest, except that he can't bear the weight of his mechtech weapon, but I blame design for that.. It's the swivel joints. They are very loose. His leg free spins around. And his left arm actually pops off during any kind of twisting. I've tried fixing them before, with less then stellar results. I have him standing now. But it's a very complicated hunchback crouch. The rear roof of the vehicle mode falls down a lot too. It doesn't seem to peg in, and it just flops off his back.

To top it all off, he's one of the circumcised figures. :lol:

I love the design though. He's menacing. Well, except the pincers. They kind of make me laugh.

I bought CC and he is the "dirty bird" version and yeah, his hip joints are terrible loose and legs just flop around, but for some reason i got him to stand with MECH weapon in hand. At first i didnt think i would like him, but having a Decepticon flippin the birds at the Autobots is a plus!
