The left dreadlock on Crankcase sheared right off. That plastic was awful.

indeed that plastic is horrible. im scared to death to transform mine

I've broken a few TFs, but not very many that I care about much. The only one I did care about much was my Classics Rodimus (the part with the hood, head, and arms broke away from the rest of the figure), and I was able to replace it for a very good price a few months ago.

Breaking movie 1 bumblebee's chest (my friend dint know bout the spring load and snapped it in half. yes we were allowed to bring tfs to school lol )

my leadfoot is fine, but still has an ugly head and a three foot deep pcc torso mode(yknow, his head is reallly far back)

by allowed do you mean by the teachers or the imbeciles who would beat you up?


but yeah as far as breakings go i have had RTS wreckgar's handlebar, the little circle of plastic that it screws into snapped clean in half when a freind transformed him. Just a week ago now. (ish)

and also armada BIG optimus prime's normal mode's arm came off.
i was buggered off about that one for a while, but then i ought bendy prime off of nova.
oh yeah and not forgetting hftd banzai tron which was broken right out of the package when i finally found it.
but grappelLE is a good enough replacement.

it was really annoying though cos when i went to return it the woman at sainsburys was all like (it was in the box) "wheres it broken dear?"
so i say"right there where his arm is not attatched to his body"

grappelle?

I dropped ROTF Jolt and the top part of his horn/crest thing broke off. Lost the tiny piece that broke, so thats why I'm getting the DOTM Jolt.

theres a strike through the EL and LE is in large, i always do that because he is a living typo and deserves to be recognised as one.

You want to here some stories of breaking a transformers I have about 4 stories.

1. My next door neighbor didnt know how to transform the movie one 70's camaro bb, and broke him in two. When i got him replaced my neighbor broke him again. still havent gotten him replaced to this day.

2. my same neighbor was transforming my rts lugnut and pulled the the screw holding the upper leg to the lower leg right out out, tearring the scew threads in the plastic off. I was sad until i remmebered tha i had some gorrila glue.

3. i actually dont know how this happened but the metal piece holding dotm shockwave's head brock. it wasnt a big deal because i found a new one the next day.

4. this one is actulaly kind of funny. my dog chased my parrekeet into my room and my dog noked down one of my tf shelfs. in the prosses my rotf leader megs landed on top of my cybertron scrapmetal. Scrappys sword was stuck in the gears of megs chest. in the end megs walked away without a scratch but scrappys sword broke.

5. this one i broke on purpose. about a month ago my mom got me a bunch of mcdonalds toys. I didnt want them so my mom told me to do whatever i wanted to do to them. So i toke some left over fireworks and put them in the box with the toys. when i was putting the fireworks in it i didnt notice that on the bottom of the box was a 100% complete rid railracer after the show i foung him on the bottom half melted.

there are more but cant think of them right now.

Teachers i guess... lol. There were alot of ppl who bought brawl for some reason lol. We'll there werent any bullies in my school that dared to beat anyone up cos of strict rules... The only times people got hurt was when they think they are parkour masters and start climbing fences or jumping off staircases.

sounds like you have a fool for a neighbour...

Nothing major with modern TF toys, but two recent minor incidents with two recent Optimus Primes.

The DOTM preview OP, I was having some sort of trouble with it and used too much force and one of the tabs on that red part on his back (with the rear wheels attached) just broke off. Not a big deal, doesn't show unless you look for it, and doesn't really hurt the parts holding together when in truck mode.

The other, even more minor, was RTS legends OP, and I don't even know how it happened, I just looked at it one day and saw it had happened. The little peg that's supposed to hold the legs together in truck mode broke off into the hole. Now this had been a fairly tight part and did need a lot of force to separate for robot mode, but like I said, I didn't even notice it broke. Still doesn't hurt anything, and the leg joints are nice and tight, so keeping them together in truck mode isn't a problem.

Other than that, the only one I've had break in the last 10 years since RID got me back into TF was a few months ago I had my Battle in a Box Treadshot out and one of the clear plastic hinges in the gimmick where the Minicon motorcycle hides in the rear windshield cracked and fell apart.

That's all of my modern ones, but for my vintage G1, holy crap, way too many to mention. But of special note is the Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen mold. I had all three, and every single one of them wound up with the windshield/hood snapping off. Prowl was the last of the three that I got and the other two had already broken by that point so I was trying to be EXTRA careful with that one, but still one day I took it out of the box of TFs only to find it snapped off. I don't remember anyone else I knew having the other two, but I knew several kids with Prowls and every single one of them wound up with the same thing happening.
