I think it varies-- I've transformed my Underbite dozens and dozens of times, and it never broke.

That said, I still really want the Legion one. Yes, it's smaller, but it looks a lot more show accurate-- it actually has claws, and the vehicle mode's way more accurate and less compromised-looking. It won't fit with my Warriors, but it'll at least look cool.

 

i'm hoping for at least a 3 step underbite, just to have a "big" version of him, articulation be damned

 

I've been wondering this, too. I need me a deluxe Chop Shop.

 

its a crying shame that the cons are getting shafted for new toys. the show explicitly states that there were several hundred decepticons imprisoned on the alchemor. and thus far, each of them have been amazing new designs. knowing that most of them wont get toys at all (or worse,that they'll only get one step changers) saddens me deeply.

(unrelated tangent: Fracture wasnt an alchemor prisoner, and he's a standard humaoid, i wonder if this is gonna play into something....)

 

I just can't understand the idea that kids don't want bad guys. When I was a kid, I wanted good guys and bad, wanted them all.

Reminds me of how the Power Rangers line drifted away from having bad guys big enough to fight the Megazords.

 

I feel like TF has been heading this way for a while. Normally I don't mind too much because I don't buy 'Cons, but it's getting a little ridiculous, these days, and most of the RiD Decepticons look awesome!

Combiner Wars is kinda heading that way too. Unless I'm mistaken, aren't there more Autobot combiners than Decepticons?
