The only Fanstoys figure I own is Hoodlum/not-Hot Rod; he's pretty well built, although I admit I don't do a whole lot of playing with my Hot Rod collection, since many of them (like Hoodlum) would be difficult to replace if they break. I do remember him feeling more durable than the official MP-9 Roddy.

Since you asked about X-Transbots, too, I'll say my experience is similar to yours. It feels like their larger figures (like Herald/not-Crosscut) are more solidly built than their smaller ones (like the aforementioned Boost/not-Windcharger, for which I nearly suffered a broken part).

I only have 3 of the 5 FT dinobots. Scorias (first release) leg fell off on second transformation but I think it's down to the screw. Attached back okay though but since then I kind of just leave them in bot mode. I liked how the dino legs can be left out for toy look or folded in (on scoria/slag) and the are pretty much the only dinobot toys needed for any collection with the size of them for G1/WFC/MP.

FT Galvatron had things I liked/disliked so I chose Dx9s? over it. I'll pick up Sheridan at some point. They seem quality but the price of them over playing (transforming) with them is a big draw back.
