    Both ratchet knee joints on my MP Ultra Magnus have blown out. Pretty big bummer since he's one of my all time favorite figures. I remember seeing other fans report their UM's knees blowing out as well... so is there a fix for this? I don't want to start taking him apart without using some kind of tutorial.

    Thanks, guys!

    This happened to mine, definitely fixable. I didn't document the process, but you need to take apart his legs and glue a piece that was held onto another by four tiny little studs. Those studs break pretty easily, so just glue it back in place, let it dry, then reassemble.
