    Nah I’ll just glue it back on and leave him in robot mode. TBH when I was transforming him for storage i remembered I never really liked the robot to car transformation much anyways

    Does trashing a figure with sharpies count?

    Falling asleep at my desk with my head in my hand, my arm got so numb that it fell to the side...right onto Universe 08 Ravage. Poor thing snapped cleanly in half. I still haven't went and bought the plastic cement I said I was gonna get to fix him.

    Not really "worst thing" but definitely a recent bummer. I ordered the THF-03 Dynastron from ToyDojo (arrived quickly and safely, great store) and the cannon's sound chip doesn't work. At first I thought it was user error with the batteries, but it turns out this copy doesn't have the foam plate on the battery case panel that pushes down the cells and even Macguyvering a substitute didn't change anything. It might be too late to contact them about a replacement (if they'll even send me one) and it ultimately doesn't matter. Still disappointing.

    Modifying a Twinferno with one of the many elbow mods when the shoulder got stuck and the mushroom peg snapped off. No glue or anything got into the shoulder, so I don't know why it got stuck. Was able to get it out but the mushroom peg was broken to all hell. Still haven't bought a replacement. :(

    My 2007 movie 76 Camaro Bumblebee randomly fell off a shelf and his left door broke off. I was upset because he was the figure that started my collection. I keep him in car mode now.

    Its not very bad but, I once took several tfs for a photoshoot and lost one of Acid Storm's guns in the park. Hopefully some little kid found it and made use of it.

    I lost about 70% of my collection during a recent move, looked everywhere I thought I might have placed the bin my figures were in and no dice. Pretty bummed out, but I'm glad my MPs weren't in that bin. Plus it gives me a better reason to buy more TFs. :D

    The last place I remember putting it was in my mom's garage (where I was staying), so either it got moved somewhere I didn't know about, or it got buried under a bunch of crap and I just wasn't able to see it.

    KO Masterpiece Megatron's left shoulder joint was so tight that it exploded when I lifted the arm up. :eek: 

    I fixed it, but it doesn't ratchet. :(

    RID prime Optimus had this fate for me. I want him to look like he had been out of the fight for some time, so basically weathered.I also tried to carve a Maximal symbol into his shoulder plate.
