    Ouch, that's a tough spot for it to break, repair-wise. You can try Super glue or JB Weld Plastic Bonder, but in all honesty, I would take it back to the store and say it broke the first time you tried to transform it and you'd like to exchange it. Or lie and say it was broken in the box. Either way, I think only a new figure will be a real fix for that.

    Oh...rest assured...it's far too late to avoid judgement from us assholes now, my friend! :D 

    I'll second @atomD21 and recommend returning it. Who knows...maybe that piece was somehow defective. Good luck!

    Yeah is return it or exchange it for a new figure. That's a tough one to repair. Honestly it wouldn't be worth the labor.

    Same happened to me, just clip the sides near the arms back on the chest and in the middle, it won't transform though.
