No one is giving you a better answer so I'll throw in my two cents. The first release apparently had more QC issues and was more prone to falling apart. If you're looking to actually transform the thing, you may want to think twice about getting the initial release unless you're getting too good of a deal to pass up.

Weapon: Null-Ray Rifle
IIRC, there was an alignment issue in the waist as well as plastic issues. I believe there was one video reviewer who opened and subsequently broke his 1st edition figure while filming the review!

I only own the Ultra Magnus version of the "fixed" mold, and the only issues I've had with it are 1). the chest/front windshield doesn't close correctly and 2). the "wrist" comes off easily and I have to reattach it every now and then when transforming or posing.

If iGear makes a "simplified" version of this version, it'll hopefully be more stable and definitely cheaper, but may lose out on some of the extras from the 1st version (like extra cannon that fits Classics Prime).
