    When the G2 Combaticons & Aerialbots were out, my younger bro and I used to have battles with their combined forms, until one day Superion took a dive--everybody was accounted for, except for poor Slingshot, whose body detached from his tiny head.:(

    I've had a couple of dives taken, no major damage. Toys in the current bookcase-o'-storage do wobble when I walk past, but I've never been able to get them to actually topple.

    I had my Armada Unicron take a dive of about five feet just the other week. No damage, thankfully.

    Yes, Acid Wing, at least he splintered during play- it's a far more fitting end for a TF than crumbling from GPS in a crate.


    I can't say I've had any of this happen to me, but I keep most of the collection MIB, if not MISB.

    Yeah, MP Prime is a sturdy f*cker.

    Fell off my shelf onto the floor once. Damaged the hell out of the FLOOR.

    Prime was fine.

    Classics Starscream had an unfortunate encounter with a ceramic tile floor - snapped off a wing which I have yet to repair.

    But my worst incident was when my Custom Action Master Jazz decided to swan dive headfirst into a lit Yankee candle. He had to go back to Prowl Pants for a whole new paintjob.

    Alt. Shockblast created a lovely domino effect on my Alt. Tracks, TM Megatron, TM Primal, various AEC scouts, and pitched them headlong from 3 feet off the ground. There was a similar incident with my sister's Alt. Jazz and various Movie, G2, and AEC toys.

    Curse that mold's feet.

    Classics 2-pack Prime. Fell from a 6-foot shelf. Head snapped clean off halfway down the neck.

    I got another one though (a little banged up) and switched parts here & there to create one good as new.

    Super God Ginrai has taken a 8 foot dive off of a shelf he split apart from his combined form but no damage what so ever.

    My custom Classic's Ultra Magnus likes to Swan dive onto my movie Tf's always takes out Prime.... hmmmm :sly: 

    And for some reason my SDF-1 doesn't like MP Prime, he always ends up knocked over...

    I can't tell you how many times my 20th anniversary prime has toppled over on my shelf >< This is my first real display shelf and so I'm still working things out with it, but the top shelf is always reserved for serious collectables (reissues, optimash prime, pepsi prime, masterpieces, ect.) DVDs, and books. My room is situated in such a way that the only place I could put the case was in a high traffic area, so of course, every once in a while the case gets bumped and down goes prime. I suppose it doesn't help that I have him standing in a heroic, legs spread, gun up over his head-hand on hip, pose.

    Although he usually falls straight down onto the carpet, one shelf below on the "Classics" display, TMII Black Aracnia follows suit and falls back due to her extreme topheavy-ness, taking Silverbolt with her. (I have them posed together and on the "Classics" shelf because my BW shelf is full.)
