Don't be so OCD on Brawn. A bit of "battle damage" fits him perfectly anyway.
Beside depending on where the scuff mark is, you can always cover it up with the excellent Reprolabels set: https://toyhax.com/for-studio-series-86 ... brawn.html

The SS86 mold is only "frail" if you smash it against a wall. I have the mold 3 times already. Normal, Jackpot, and orange g2. I transformed them a few times and nothing of note happened.
Prow and Barricade have 2 mold. Siege and Earthrise. Earthrise is trash. Hollow, soft, and cheap feeling. The Siege mold is fantastic. It is solid and... substantial.

It IS a weak point. You just have to be careful.
Oh, and back to the Siege Prowl mold, try getting the Netflix rusted version. The thing is cool as F.

Are you referring to the sparkless bot?

Meh.
This ranking doesn't make much sense because they even threw in repaints that are lower or higher than their moldmates.
Also, without any context or explanations, the ranging doesn't mean much.

Look up for videos on Youtube. It's much better.

A "ranking list" can only be subjective. That's why just throwing a list without any explanations make it worthless.
Tier list videos are the best because the one making the list explain the reasons while making it. We may agree or not with the list maker, but at the very least, the list maker must be open about his choices.

Ha! I didn't catch that! Probably because I was only studying the top few tiers.
With regard to exclusives, I can't fault the grudge [exclusives punish fans IMHO], but that just means there's a lack of objectivity in the list.

Old does not necessarily mean "better".
The Generations Fall of Cybertron (FOC) figures were the worst ever in how hollow and thin they were. These were the straws that broke the camel's back and prompt Hasbro to bring the quality of figures back up even if it means they had to enforce some massive prices hikes.
