well, it's not too late because that balde could be a prototype and think it like this,that blade can fire blasts and goes everywhere but there's those folding peices make it only go through that hole. If you know what I mean.

like the spread gun from Contra if it's folded out, or a regular directed fire if it's collapsed?

Contra-like spread gun would be awesome.

Swords and blades are very Japanese. Think Samurai.

While we human have moved on to long range weapons, the technologically advanced Transformers are reverting back to ancient close quarters weapons.

I think it's much simpler than that: hitting the 'Attack' button 3 times to stab dudes with some kind of electric axe is just plain cool.

I'm actually worried about the automorph breaking down in the years to come.

I know what you mean. That crap breaks, there goes your figure. That's why I'm worried about my Ironhide's legs, everytime I transform them one leg is stiff and won't budge, and I have to force it, etc.

One more thing: there's no need to double-post. Next time, just click on the "Edit" button on your last post and modify your message.

You guys scare me, your so scared of your toy breaking, if you take good care of em I don't see what could go wrong. I have some of my toys since I was 5 and they look as good as new.

Sometimes, it's not just about the care.

My Classics Cliffjumper came with a broken arm door.

Movie Megatron came with loose right are, loose joints, and feet automorph that doesn't work as intended.

From the looks of it, some other parts may go wrong soon.

Yeh I've taken a closer look at how the automorph works now... and notice there is a lot of parts that could brake off soon.

If it's going to have those honking big 2" missiles - I'll pass - they just look stupid. I only like em, if the 2" missiles are to scale for the figure.

Exactly. Too much tension and crack, there goes the figure. Not only that, but you mentioned something about old toys.

They don't make them like they used to!

Its not the rough handling that breaks toys, its sun damage, and general gravity and friction related problems that cause alot of damage to many collectors.

It doens't matter how nice and gentle you are to your toys, friction from moving joints over time will always lead to weak joints, which then allows more gravity related accidents to occur.

wow a good scientific explation! simple yet reasonable!

id prefer the blade over the missle, nice change of pace. Why they couldn't have done this with prime's weapon, I don't know.

I think the toys were made before the movie and they didn't know that Prime would use a broadsword in the movie.
