My solution to the clear plastic Starscream, I got a nice Offroad that's not being used as a limb. He'll be a nice replacement for a right arm while Starscream goes on the shelf next to Unicron.

Well lucky f#cking you![]()
But you're right, I was out of line about saying that after paying $18 for figures made out of plastic so cheap, it tore itself apart by sitting there...

I see nothing wrong with the plastic and isolated incidents do not make it a cheap plastic or make this line a "scam". Things just don't break for no reason there's always a factor that causes it. My blackjack broke but I know that it was my fault, I'm not sitting here damming Hasbro for my mistake.

Clear plastic gets a bad wrap. Unless you're a kid banging his toys together it should have a long life.
Uhhhhhhhhh, I did not bang my figure (Big Convoy) at all thank you. Of course I purchased him back in 2004 (he was released in 1999) so for a 15 year old toy that was well cared for, his translucent part broke not due to abuse.
.
However, the fact that there now exists a Seeker head sculpt can only mean good things. No way Hastak is going to pass on the money machine that is the endless Seeker repaint catalog.steals_your_goats wrote:It's going to be a box setMGrotusque wrote:Will the Grand Galvatron be sold as a set or will any of the limb bots be able to be purchased separately?

Nice offroad and his twin brother breakdown, or you could put breakdown with breakdown

Oh from me too. I dont know how I will get this set since my country's economy and geographic location are both working against me on this, but I will someday and I will definitely give it a nice big hug.

Big Convoy?, so was it his chest? I am trying to think of where there is clear plastic on him and thats the only area i can think about.
I havent had much problem with TFs. It's more the recent ones that broke for me or had quality issues. And BW TM Megatron of course.
As for clear plastic though I havent had an issue so far. I just bought Takara's JRX which is full of clear plastic unlike the Hasbro Railracer version which has none and even though it is a 15 year old toy, it is still perfect with no sign of any strain or damage.

Don't forget about united breakdown, huh, wonder what a Galvatron(us) comprised of 4 breakdowns would be called?

Dear Lord! I think I now know what consists of the Planet of Junk set!

I'm with you about the clear plastic, I've had very few have issues ... at least no moreso than regular plastic tabs or joints breaking on regular ol' plastic Transformers toys.
However, I'm definitely a plastic tires instead of rubber tires guy because the cracked tire problem is frustrating. If it hasn't happened to you yet, just consider yourself lucky though I'd be willing to be you've got a few cracked tires in your collection and you just haven't noticed yet ... especially if you live in the Midwest. Unless you constantly lubricate rubber tires on your Transformers, your G1, RID or Masterpiece Convoy tires will crack eventually, the same reason why O-Rings dry out with G.I. Joe figures and Masters of the Universe figures suffer their notorious crotch rot that most vintage MOTU figures suffer from eventually.

I would dig out RID Prime right now if he wasn't buried at the back of a shelf.![]()
and ya, I have had plenty of Joes snap in half. That's an easy fix. Rubber tires not so much. It makes sense though. Rubber is an organic compound, so eventually it will break down. Looks like I have some inspecting to do.
And Fenrir, to be fare, my Black Big Convoy broke too, but not in the same place, and not clear plastic. that toy is just fragile all the way around.
I don't doubt the the clear plastic thing is a thing, but it would be interesting to know if climate has anything to do with it. My brother has had problems with clear plastic and rubber. He lives in California. And I know tropical climates reek havoc on all kinds of materials, so I could see where Fen lives being a factor.
It's all science man.
