Is he that fragile or something? I had mine break the locking bit inside his legs, so now his legs won't stay extended. The only blemish in my otherwise perfect King Poseidon. I know Sinnertwin is rather fragile in the head...

Basically, yes, it was all Snaptrap's fault. Behind Snaptrap's scramble-city connector port is a spring. I suspect that the spring became too tense - either from years of going unplayed with or from extreme Florida heat while sitting in a garage. When I stuck the male combiner ports (Overbite's and Sinnertwin's heads) in Snaptrap's female ports, they clicked in fine. But, when I went to rotate the limb, the spring didn't want to give way. Rotating Sinnertwin's and Overbite's bodies caused the heads to twist off. Normally the spring would have given way and the limb would have rotated properly, but instead I now have two decapitated bots.

ohhhhhh i've come close to experiencing that problem. When I first unpacked my collection and put the combiners together I carefully checked to see if things were moving, when they didn't I grabbed a nice big flat head screwdriver and used it to the female connectors and loosen them up a bit.

...but Sinnertwin is a leg.

No, I'm poking fun. I don't use Scramble modes. Each gestalt had a specific layout and I use those.
