    Animated Blitzwing.

    Times Transformed: 0...

    That's right, still brand new in package, at a Walmart, his head/nosecone was already popped off the socket. Didn't stop me from buying him though. I did get his head back on with no issues, and it doesn't pop off. However, the rotating mechanism for his faces doesn't move too well.

    Even on an apparently prefect one, it doesn't move too well.

    I don't have any that just fall apart, but my Universe Galvatron is pretty loose and flimsy. RoTF Scalpel isn't really loose, but really fragile with those little spider legs. I pop those off anytime I touch the thing.

    Animated Swindle, he was perfect at first, but then all of a sudden, his arms broke off and now I can't fix them.

    Uh, didn't I ask this question a week ago?

    But to answer your question. I just received my KO Sunstreaker last week, only transformed him 3-4 times and already starting to see a stress mark basically where his arm-pit would be. It's the thin plastic behind his arm as you fold it backwards to lock into car mode. Seems like his joints are very tight. So I doubt he will stand much transformation.

    Ugh, lining up Smokescreen's legs in car mode has been known to make my blood pressure skyrocket. Silverstreak isn't a problem, strangely enough.
