I just Recently Open a un-open Beast Wars transmetal Megatron, While i started to transform him it started to brake. the hip broke and the arm parts holders started to brake off. Now i'll just keep him in his Dino Mode forever. Has anybody else's had this problem?

Mine hasn't broken yet, but I think I'm one of the lucky ones and I've not messed with him too much. The Takara version doesn't suffer from the plastic quality issues that the US Hasbro version does. The color of the plastic is darker too, closer to black than brown which is more show-accurate.

Sadly, I checked ebay and every online retailer I'm aware of (which is quite a few) and couldn't track one down for you . My advice would be to watch ebay for it.

The one you're looking for is listed on this page under Variations as:

Metals
Megatron:
(1999, Japan)

You'll notice the slightly different colors to the plastics he's made of, including the beige/brownish panels which have a more pink/redish hue and the plastic his arms, legs and torso are made of, which is more black than brown (brown being the problematic plastic used in the Hasbro/US version).

There's also the Armada redeco/retool. It's sturdier AND has two minicons.

And he's colored like vegetables!

I broke mine in the same spots about 2 years ago. I feel your pain.
