    My DOTM Cyberverse Sentinel Prime and Optimus Prime have broken thumbs.

    Also, my TF1, uhh... what's his name? The guy who turns into some kind of military vehicle, I think it was Longarm, is missing his head, and I can't find it! D:

    Poor ROTF Startosphere. Picked him up, started posing him, forgot his knees can't bend forward...

    Also, Wreck-Gar, broken handle. And DOTM Voyager Ironhide has a chipped bumper, but it fortunately looks like battle damage.

    - DOTM deluxe Bumblebee - cut off the window net because I thought it looked stupid. Now it looks worse.

    - DOTM Ratchet - cut off the thing covering the bumper. Doesn't affect the figure's awesomeness IMO.

    A shoulder pin holding my SDCC Swindle's arm to his shoulder is sliding out of the socket.
    My TFTM Voyager Ratchet's claw thing snapped off his vehicle mode. I can't attach it.

    Movie Long Haul blew a front wheel.

    Sucks because he was one of the few movie molds I was really digging.

    I have two figures that I have broken to the detriment of the figure (RtS losing his handlebars doesn't count, as it doesn't hinder is functionality, and actually kinda suits him as a Junkion), both involving a hinge near the shouler (not a hinge that is the shoulder) that I snapped and attempted to glue back, but since I failed they now have their shoulders glued into place. Cybertron Evac has his right shoulder stuck, and poor ROTF Deluxe Wheelie has his left shoulder not only stuck, but stuck in the wrong position. Which sucks, cause I really liked transforming Wheelie back and forth.

    While I have a few G1's who are missing a minor accessory or two, I don't consider them 'handicapped'... Yeah, they might be missing a missile, but they're 'displayably complete'...

    However, I have a multi-colored K.O. Devastator who has a Scrapper that's been repaired with some superglue, as well as the combined mode having two left fists... :D 

    Also, my Device Label Cheetor has had his jaw broken & repaired (with an ABS cement product & not 'plain old' super glue! He's as good as new & there's NO way it's going to break again!)...

    The only TF I can think of right now that I've broken is my Armada Jetstorm Mini-con. I had it at a friend's office, and his leg popped off and fell into a wall.

    Armada Optimus Prime, Universe Blaster, Energon Inferno: Sacrificed for a failed custom.

    Armada "Green Helicopter Guy": Don't remember his name, but missing both of his arms and rotor blades.

    Movie 1 Jazz: If you seen the film, you know why :p 

    Movie 1 Camaro Concept Bumblebee: Failed repaint attempt.

    Movie 1 Recuse Ratchet: Semi-failed repaint attempt + part holding on to the windshield broke.

    Their might be more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

    My Legends ROTF Overload snapped in two,
    My Voyager Mixmaster's cement mixer tab snapped off,
    My Deluxe Rampage's bulldozer shovel tabs snapped off,
    My legends RoTF Scavenger's side half tab snapped off,
    And my custom Swindle's shoulders have a tendency to pop off.

    I actually take good care of my figures,
    it's just that those parts are very flimsy.

    I have an ROTF Ransack Torso.

    Literally as soon as i opened it, every single limb fell off the ball joint, and would not snap back on.

    I paid all of 1.99 for it, and never liked it much anyway.

    My Universe (2003) Ratchet is missing the head, the upper legs, the waist, and one arm, as well as the saw the figure came with.

    The translucent bar that holds HFTD Ironhide's windshield had it's bottom half broken off. I glued it on and now if I try to move the windshield, it pops off.

    Cybertron voyager Soundwave has the pegs in both shoulders broken off.

    Cybertron leader Megatron has some broken pegs on one arm.

    I guess we all have some figures changed in some way, though myself I dont count missing missiles as something of concern :lol

    • RotF Lockdown, his (left?) side mirror broke off. :(  At least it works with the character.
    • RtS Wreck-Gar, one of his antennae broke off on the first day due to transforming him, that clear plastic is weak. Several months later, the handlebar breakage due to the automorph finally made mine break. Again, works with the character (especially a Junkion!)
    • Movie 1 Stockade, his right windshield (attached to his right arm) broke at some point while being stored in bags. Not the best idea, but c'est la vie.
    • DotM Crankcase, his right set of dreads ripped off.

    Will edit/post again if I can think of others.

    Classics Skywarp - his right arm is pretty lose. I had to cake on clear nail polish to get it to hold when I raise the limb. Too much movement causes it to loosen right back up, though. D: There's something wrong with the peg in his arm, though I don't know what.
