The lights in the turret of my brother's Brawl figure went out after just a week out of the package. Has anybody else had problems with his electronics?

Sounds like a wire or two got pulled off. The turret can not swivel 360 degrees, and shouldn't be forced to. IF that happened, then some connections got severed. Does it still make sounds?

I've heard of the automorph with the front treads getting buggered up, and the small turrets faling off.

Here's my proble: stores don't have it.
Or anything else for that matter...

Mine's got the messed up automorph in tank mode. I had him in tank mode and a friend came over... We watching a DVD, and Brawl's automorph goes off all on its own. My buddy takes one look at it, looks at me, and goes "I guess Brawl found the Allspark..."

I didnt get it as it seems quite problematic...

Here's my problem: I live just upstairs from a store that ONLY has movie merchandise - and I'm talking crammed to the gills of every single figure released in that line.

Classics? Titanium? Whazzat?

EDIT: Whoops! Double-post. Haven't done that in a while. Delete, please!

Whoa..... That's unlucky.

That's my problem with stores around here... You name a movie figure, I can find it in this town. But until the Allspark sub-line comes out, I've got everything. Unless I hear of some Target "finding" a case of Robobision Primes, the only thing that gets me into my car anymore is this insane hunt for MP Starscream...

No, my brother doesn't force his toys. He's very gentle with them. In fact he sometimes scolds ME for being too rough on mine. XD

And yeah, sounds effects still work but the big cannon doesn't light up.

Then it is probably just a loose wire.

He was a bit tricky at first, but I havent had any problems with my Leader Brawl. Very cool figure IMO. Then again I can't not like a Transformer armed to the teeth.

Mine too...
I just can't get his head to stay all the way down, any suggestions.

(now I have to go home and test the electronics too - I'll come post of mine don't work)

same for me. At first I wasn't too thrilled with him, but he really grew on me. He's a fun toy and I guess luckily I haven't had any problems with mine.

Only turning his head around completely. It doesn't stop him from "finding the Allspark" but it does cause the head to catch so it doesn't look like a tank with a fugly head on it. A tighter latch for his automorph and a hatch door for the hole his head goes into... That would've made Brawl a total win & awesomeness figure.

My Brawl suffers different problems, since I took the batteries out of him. (not a "Lights and Sound!" kind of guy...)

1. Like someone said before, the smaller green turrets usually fall off during a transformation, but they snap right back on.

2. The arms are a bit big when he goes back into alt. mode. I have a hard time bringing in the wheels.

3. The grey pieces that hold his kibble (gattling gun and blades) onto his wrists, also fall off excessively. These also just snap back on.

Minor problems, but easily solved; leave him in robot mode! His tank version doesn't look too spiffy anyway...he'd need to be much bigger to give off a movie effect.

^ That bothered me about his tank mode, too. Seems a bit skinny to me...

That sucks if you're Brawls wires got messed up. But for me the only problem i had was getting the arms in place perfectly so i could place the treads up ( when transforming to Tank mode). An odd thing is when ever im transforming him he seems to always go off ( lights and sound, the whole bang) and always when he is facing any Autobots

But i still love the figure, mostly in Robot mode obviously
