I think this is a natural fear whether or not the figures are less sturdy. A natural connection in the mind has been made between fragility and the number of moving parts. A similar phenomenon occurs with prices.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Here's an interesting question for you guys regarding the complexity of a figure: how are scared are you of breaking off parts when transforming a more complicated one? I can imagine the simpler ones being more sturdy thanks to less moving part;, compare any regular Prime Deluxe Bumblebee with the upscaled Legion for example.

They are a bit trickier than the rest. You have voyager Longhaul, rampage, mixmaster, ironhide, all more complex than anything up to that point.
And for deluxes, you had dead end, bumblebee, bonecrusher and barricade which were also more difficult than any deluxe up to that point.
Those are from the ROTF line.
It's true that Voayger Movie 1 Ironhide is also a bit tricky. Ratchet, however, is a breeze. The M1 Bees were also somewhat complex. However, the rest of the line Is eazy enough. I own about all of the Movie One molds. Except voyager Megatron which I heard is complete garbage. I have a scrap one (for custom fodder) as a preview and it does not make me want a complete one.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

That all depends what you are comparing it too. I notice a shift in the Transformers brand in 2007. Before then, Transformations were more or les simple (ie the Cybertron line) and there wasn't that much G1. All the G1 present was the classics line, and very few masterpiece toys. Then the movie happened at the same time as the Animated series. So all the G1 characters came back full circle (albeit with completely new designs) and the toys became more complex than ever before. To a point where it got insane in the ROTF line for kids. Since I didnt collect TFs back then, I had to go back and try to find all the toys I wanted. I look on local adds a bunch. You guys cannot imagine the amount of times I find lots of movie toys being sold because the parents just find them too hard for their kids to do.
Anyways, I just wanted to say that toys are only getting simpler if we compare to 2007 and on, not before. And the G1 inundation happens to also be at the same time. You know what's crazy guys, 10 years ago, thre were no bumblebee toys on the shelves.

Get ready for a high-level action with the figures of approximately 11 inches of Transformers ! This figure is convertible to vehicle mode! They will turn any enemy into scrap . They are the perfect warriors to the largest and wildest adventures Transformers

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Expect for the fact that both Primes in this line have knees.

How are you certain? The picture above doesnt prove it. And Bumblebee's knee joints appear to be more of a decoration than functional, no?

Uh, no dude, structurally, it seems like only Megatron and Grimlock from this line have knees, and that's only due to transformation. And most of us haven't been biased towards this line, just kind of confused and disappointed.

What? To be fair, all figures but Megatron and Grimlock, that we've seen thus far, have lacked knee articulation. This is based on the figures they share engineering and design with as well as pure visual confirmation.
