Ack...second Cheetor breakage report today, I hate that this stuff happens all to frequently with MPs these days. I can't really agree with the criticism of the aesthetics robot mode, I think it's one of the most gorgeous looking figures in the line but I would agree (especially on the reissue) that the joints are rather tight and a little scary at first.

 

Cheetor’s joints are super tight and caution is needed for sure but I can’t figure out how you could possibly break off that thigh piece. It has nothing to do with transformation and I’ve never heard of anyone else breaking it.

Watch out for the little peg that attaches the front cheetah legs together in bot mode. Mine is fine but I’ve heard of people shearing that peg off.

 

It is perplexing.

Indeed and also be careful when rotating the barrel on the tail gun, the yellow plastic joint there is prom to breakage. Best way I've found to avoid it is to rotate from the joint and not the barrel.
