seibertron Was reading a bit on the rust stuff at seibertron to get more POVs.. i found this from a member called CounterPunch.
I have this SOB still sealed in his box, where he will stay, so have no idea what the condition of his feet are! Nor, do I intend to look, I take comfort in not knowing
I was just moving my MP Megs to a new cabinet today and I didn't notice anything. Of course, I wasn't really looking for it either so I may have just overlooked it. *goes back to check*
Is it possible at all to contact Takara Tomy and ask for some kind of refund if we got a rusted model? Not to mention all the snapped arms ratchet, busted waist screws, broken knee covers...
just checked mine, its not rust guys, the metal being brass is coated with a chrome thats flaking off
Some are saying rust, some are saying theres yellow tarnishing residue (which I have) which may or may not come off. Are we talking about the same thing here? or is anyones rusting in a way that as bubbling and dusting of the metal?
cheap piece of shit. mine has started to rust on the feet and the spine. i cant beleive this. whats the easiest and best way to remove the rust and to protect against future rust?
I just checked the feet and spine. Aside from a few finger prints it seems just fine. Is there anything in specific I should be looking for? EDIT: Checking link in the first post.
For me, different parts of Meg have been affected differently. His feet seems to be tarnished and the spine seems to have some minor rusting. The condition it seems, does not affect all MP Megatrons.
My Meg's spine is similar to yrs. It just seems strange MP Megs is having this problem and not all are affected. The weird thing for me is that the room in which I keep Megs isn't humid and almost directly under the air-con.
Checking again, it seems like the metal on mine has a tiny bit of a yellow tint, but no rust. In all honesty I don't even remember if that tint wasn't already there though...
Couldn't find anything about it in Japanese message boards I may not be using right search words, though.
