Any word from other purchasers whether these are all this breakage-prone, or if this was just a lemon? I really have my eye set on the white one.

Its a great looking Prime. Its just too small, in the wrong colours and poorly built. But I really love the 'bot mode. :(

Too small. Even smaller than the tiny war for cyber from deluxes. Hope it's not made by the same cheap plastic. Easy pass. Even as an Optimus collector, this thing does not belong in my collection.

These are a lot better looking that I thought they'd be but still such a weird release; a tiny, hybrid model/figure of a vehicle design that's entering it's 8th year of production.

I've theorized that Takara may have created this as part of a contract negotiation with Toyota to secure the licensing rights to do a figure or two which are based on older model of Toyota's, namely the Hilux (Hoist & Trailbreaker) for their Masterpiece line. Basically, Takara creates a figure to promote a vehicle which Toyota is currently selling so that they (Takara) can create licensed reproductions of a vehicle which they are not currently selling (the Hilux).

I'm really bummed. Both about the small stature of this (I thought it was going to be Voyager size at least) as well as the QC issues. This figure looks awesome and I was totally planning on buying at least one (probably multiple if BBTS could get their hands on the dealer exclusive colored ones), but with these serious QC issues, it's just not worth it I don't think.

Ryan, is there any chance that if I bought one of these, assembled it, and posed it in bot mode without ever transforming it into vehicle mode and just stood it up on my shelf that it would hold together OK, or is it so fragile that doing even that would be likely to cause breakage?

Is that why? Did Aveo Swerve suffer from similar issues?

Not mine. My Swerve is in good condition and hasn't suffered any plastic quality issues.

An easy pass for multiple reasons:

too small
too pricy
bad quality
I HATE everything from Toyota, espacially this soapbox they call a cruiser
looks nothing like prime...

Mine too. But those were made with more of an influence by Hasbro so they may have wanted mainline quality.

Shattered Glass Soundwave (Autobots and Decepticons are switched, in that universe in case you don't know.) That version is an eHobby exclusive out of Japan. A joint venture with BotCon. Came in a 2-pack with SG Blaster. Plus some cassettes.

Good morning Everyone. :D

As an owner of Sun Fusion (yellow) FJ cruiser, this was a must for me. So when it was announced a couple months back and i immediately pre-ordered. Mine arrived last week and i'm happy to announce that i haven't had any of the quality issues Seibertron experienced. Transformed it a couple times without issue. To be honest while putting on the panels I felt it had a much higher level of quality that no other TF figure i own. Granted i don't have the collection that most here have, and my collection is limited to movie, generation, Prime and Animated figures, but the fit and finish of the panels is top notch. Would have preferred that more undercarriage was hidden in vehicle form, but what you gonna do? :P
My main complaint so far has to be its size. This thing is reallllly small. Much smaller than I was expecting. But that's my fault for not actually reading the full description before ordering.
Overall I'm very happy. :grin: Hopefully Siebertron's figure was just a lemon and isn't the majority of figures.
Decepticons... Com in get yo ice cream!.... And then get yo ass whop'in!!

Suck my popsicle!! :p
