The faith leaders are kinda fragile. Got mine in the other day and transformed him into robot and then back into alt mode and the panel that slides the fist in and out broke on one side. I think I can super glue it and it should be fine.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR-t2afkoSo&feature=related This video of the clear Faith Leader was painful to watch as parts just fell apart in his hands. Although I think its more fragile because of the clear plastic.

That's really painful to watch, just like a kick in the proverbials it made me wince!

Holy crap. Seriously, did they not test these out even once? How about a warning like "Do not attempt to transform this"?

I haven't heard the regular release is this fragile. But it doesn't bode well for their lans to KO Megatron. Hell, if the regular MP Megs breaks easily what hope does their have?

The regular release is not that fragile but you still have to be careful.

Most of their upgrade sets were of questionable quality, I'm still astonished that people have decent expectations from this group.
