    The sliding joint is too tight. Prepare lube.

    What's that? You want me to ask about Megatron's beast arms again?


    So, like all figures, it seems as though QC was not perfect on Megatron. Let's see what the scope of this issue is before freaking out. This one seems like a bigger deal than Dinobot, from what I can tell, as it renders the toy unplayable. But considering we've seen a number of pictures, and from what I can tell this happened right out of the box, it seems like it isn't all figures, at the very least.

    This is why I said I was gonna wait a bit after getting him in hand... Don't want to be the guinea pig this time.

    I do remember somebody saying the other day that some transformation joint in the torso was tight, so was already going to be on the look out for that. I think this is a different spot though?

    Already got plenty of shock oil just in case.

    I agree with you, it is just warning, where the issue could be.

    Like with Dinobot, I wait several times before I transform him.

    Yeah, hopefully someone translates the comments on that MP Megatron post. I can't figure out what happened to his toy exactly; the translation functionality is never great when it comes to specifics like this.

    What brand or type of lubricant does everyone here use for their figures? I used white grease on my Dinobot's joints and it did the trick but its fairly noticeable.

    Someone mentioned ‘80 weight RC shock oil’ earlier in the thread.

    Shock oil. You can get it on Amazon or any hobby shop that sells high end RC cars.

    Amazon Japan is also saying April 5 for Megs and Cheetor. It’s going to be a great weekend!
