I just got leader brawl today and it is doing 2 things I need to know if its normal or just messed up.

1. how fast is the automorph suposed to move? mine doesn't go slow like prime and megatron, it automorphs at high speed.

2. the gun on the right arm, is it suposed to slide freely or lock in place?

besides those 2 questions, leader brawl is an outstanding TF, I can only wish they get around to doing a Blackout as great is brawl is.

The automorph on this thing is fast! Those are some strong springs.

And as for the gun, what do you mean slide freely? You mean the automorph on the gun? Friction alone(the tighness of the parts) is what seems to keep the gun "in" and then you push the lever to slide it out.

the gun stays closed fine, its when I slide the lever forward to extend the gun, I raise his arm and the center green part of the gun slides back into his arm.

Well, i think it's supposed to stay out. but it can slide in. A little super glue to make it fit tigher might work.

Mine seems like it locks into place... I don't see or hear it click or anything... it just feels like it gets tighter. It definitely doesn't slide back down... Are you pushing it out far enough?

Mine slides around quite a bit..

Update: I got a philips screwdriver and tightened up the 2 screws on the bottom side of the gun, it still slides but it isn't as floppy as it was. guess somebody got in a hurry and didn't tighten it down all the way that the factory

No problems with the weapons.

I do agree that his Automorph is super fast. (I've got the sore finger, that was pinched, to prove it. Ow...)

I do warn everyone reading this though, be careful of his tread assembly. The tank covering that rests over the tread pieces are all springloaded (as part of his really kick ass Automorph...) and their pivot points have deep white stress marks on mine. I'm sure others will as well. So be careful.

Also, mine wasn't quite cooled when they yanked it out of the press apparently. There were plastic strands coming off of where the sprues were cut. Looked like a long plastic hair. (Anyone who's melted plastic knows what I'm talking about.)

Also, be careful with his machine gun turret and the light up guns...due to the wiring, they only go one way. Pay close attention to where the catches are and don't force it to go the other way or you *will* break this.

The automorph is quick on mine as well. The right arm gun is very loose as well. The 4 gun barrells themselves have friction, but the green housing itself is always somewhat loose.

Sounds like a job for some superglue and a little bit of patience!

Another tidbit about the automorph, so much for playing with Brawl on a carpeted surface. Anything that can get in between the treads will push his head up INSTANTLY! :roll:
