I'm sorry if this has been posted before or if it's not appropriate, but I'm a bit concerned about the durability of my Prime.
While I've had him for two weeks and he has been a blast, I've noticed some stress marks, especially on his forearm panels. This is probably due to the difficult transformation at the arm area into the front hood of the truck (as anyone with a Prime would know).
Do I have reason to be concerned?  I love my Prime a lot, and do not wish to see him broken...

I posted something like this about 3 months ago to find out from members that bought this if its worth getting and the conclusion I got was its more of a movie-accurate dispay piece than a playable toy so I'll stick to the TFTM version Optimus Prime.It might be a little bulkier,but its a lot more durable. | |

Very well built actually, with a lot of ratcheting joints (my favorite). I'll take thenatureboywoo's advice and transform him more carefully instead of beating the time record.
Hopefully if I do break him, they'll release some sort of Premium version...
