    What's so difficult about Transforming MP Megatron? He's easier to transform than some movie toys.

    After Taking a look at my own MP Megatron, I suddenly realize the "Cosmic Rust" people keep complaining about with the figure isn't Corrosion of any kind at all, It's more... grime than anything. Hell, I can wipe it off with my finger.
    I'm not surprised here. HA Sideswipe has the same "Stuff gotta line up JUST right" issue Sentinel Prime has... only not as severe.

    Not if you don't want to break it.

    Those little hooks on his hip armour? They ruin everything. No matter what order you do things in they always have the last say. Combined with the fact that it feels, I dunno what's the right word, squishy in gun mode? Like you can flex it and it feels like parts are stressing to stay together. Once they've inevitably busted off things get easier, but now you have a technically broken toy.

    I can transform MP Megs without breaking him. You just have take your time and treat him like the Highly-collectible Transforming robot doll that he is. You can't hamfist it. I've owned two MP Megatrons and have yet to break those clips. I'm surprised that moron Sean Long didn't break the one he reviewed acting like an idiot.

    Thank God I'm not alone on that. Those remolded chest bits suck. I have no real issues getting my Buster prime to truck mode, but I'll be damned if my jetwing will ever see truck mode again. It used to be the front pieces of his chest lined up to slots in the forearms and those held the chest pieces in place while you flipped the arm panels over and around the chest bits. But the remolded abs took those bits away and now the pieces just lay on top. So every time I try to flip the arm panels over the damn chest pieces fall out. Maddening :banghead:

    ROTF Deluxe Sideswipe. The back of the car can't be forced out, because I ended up breaking the little hinges. Thankfully i got a fixed one.

    I dunno if I'm doing something wrong with him, but DotM Deluxe Sideswipe. I can't for the life of me wrangle his vehicle mode together properly, nothing tabs into place at all.

    Most of my others I can manage pretty well, but I've given up on Sideswipe completely.

    MP-05
    MP-09

    I love them both, MP-09 is one of my favourites, I can transform them both, perfectly, without breaking them but it takes forever, particularly MP-05!

    ROTF Prime. I hate the upper part and the arms parts.

    ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime is a prime example. Just getting everything to line up and peg in right is a pain in the butt.
    The Ice Cream Truck Twins give me a hard time with having to get everything raised and moved around right. The ball joints pop off constantly.
    ROTF Human Alliance Skids can be a pain in some ways.

    Alternity Bumblebee. He takes a lot of work and precision. Sometimes I have no trouble, other times I have to put him down in a mess and walk away.

    Also, perfect effect warden. He has a gorgeous robot mode, but I haven't once successfully transformed him into either alt mode. I can get things tabbed in, but they don't stay tabbed in.

    DOTM Leader Sentinel Prime.

    For my money, WAY more frustrating to transform than ROTF Leader Prime. Those goddamn arms. And legs. And chest.

    So... pretty much everything, I guess.

    RTS G2 Optimus Prime mold. For some reason this one is always a pain in the keester to transform back, so many little bits just refuse to tab in right.
