    Do what I did and make a custom that combines TM Megatron with Armada Predacon.

    Basically I took out the brown breaky parts from Megatron, dyed the burgundy Predacon parts black, and did some touch-up paint work.

    Sorry to hear it man. I did some maintenance on mine a while back - shaved down the worst stress areas - and so far, so good. Such a shame though when weak / poor plastic gets in the way of enjoying these toys. I've been meaning to make sure Magnaboss is okay - kinda hesitant to transform him in case Silverbolt dies on me.

    Sad when a good toy dies. Last I checked mine seems to be okay. And I chanced upon another with box at a car boot sale a while back for about 30p so at least I've got a spare if the worst happens.

    I got mine 2nd or 3rd hand and its never broken. That said I had an opportunity to buy a few Metals Megatrons MISB and kept one for myself just in case. I keep debating selling it but can never bring myself too. Insurance baby.....

    I cracked the chest of mine after a move in 2002. this was just before I got on the boards, and before I had ever heard of gps. luckily, it didn't shatter, and I'm pretty handy with super glue, so he's been holding up (or at least hasn't crumbled to pieces) ever since. though I'll probably never transform him again...

    I broke my TM Megs about 6 or 8 months ago when I was photographing my collection. I was transforming him to robot mode and *snap*, the shoulder hinge that allows the arms to fold into the chest cavity snapped in half. It was a pretty sad moment, I LOVE that toy. I still have yet to replace him, though he does look just fine in alt mode.

    Sorry to hear that, and I get attached to the toys I have and sometimes a replacement doesn't feel the same.
