Looks like there is one already, albeit this isn't known to be a widespread issue.

Unscrewing the four screws in the back of the crotch piece, a user was able to supply this picture, where the image on the left is the problem, and the picture on the right is the correct position.

Hasbro’s quality control strikes again, it seems. Booooooooo!

has anyone even read what the original poster said on the tfw2005 forums? is not a qc problems is an incorrectly slotted ratchet, fix is unscrew the part, position the ratchet properly, close it

That IS a QC issue. This is a missassembled part. Something that should have been built and inspected correctly.

This is one of the main reasons why I'm not buying anymore MP figures from HasTak.

Fortunately this part doesn't look too difficult to reproduce in CAD and 3D print with ABS plastic.

Change "not buy anymore" to "not pre-order anymore." Why limit yourself? Just wait and see how the general quality will be. Furthermore, MPM toys are expensive but are widely available everywhere and WILL go on sale sooner or later. So, no rush.

My copy's ok. Pretty good figure, transformation isn't necessarily complicated but there are a ton of steps. Steps that I will likely never memorize

He's back in stock on Hasbro Pulse for anyone looking for him.

I got my Bonecrusher in hand, and I am beyond happy. Bonecrusher's scenes in the 2007 movie really struck me, and is the reason I am here. He is my all time favorite Decepticon. And this MPM lives up to that. This is a very good figure, I really like him! The fact they built in the bus-smashing flame effects and the fork options is great, plus the face sculpts. I adore him. Transformation is solid, involved, but not hugely difficult. And he is just beyond good. I am so happy.

Did you double-checked the hip ratchets assembly?

Nope, but mine function with no problems, so I have had no need, and did not know about the "error" until I was catching up on this thread tonight. and I've had Bonecrusher for a week and a half now.

You were lucky.

Still, the problematic part seems to be standard so anyone like me who have a big box-O-scraps on hand can find a replacement inner ratchet 0 part easily.

I agree.this is a really solid figure with a great transformation. I was stunned as to how heavy the figure was weight-wise.

He has serious presence to him, they finally made him both tall enough and wide enough

I tell you guys what, this figure just rules so hard. He is huge, he is good, and he is awesome




Just to see how big he is:



And how i had to take him to work

Just an update: he's still fantastic. and also super heavy in all the right ways

I just transformed the MPM Bonecrusher and WOAH. I'm impressed! Not only is the vehicle massive and heavy in hand, the transformation is not a pain to do (despite my cheating with Emgo316's JTR). Meaning there was nothing that fought me, no tolerance issues, and no annoying bits unlike Blackout.

The final bot is mind-boggling and is way, WAY more screen accurate than is previous 3P counterpart. Just amazing. Well worth the money compared to Megatron and Starscream.



Also, mine didn't had the hip issue.
