    They are only on the upper side of the hinge right now, and a little hard to snap a pic of so that its easy to see, but there are other pics of similar cracks a few page back

    it sucks but there is nothing that you can do about it. the good thing is most of us have that small crack on the mold line. but there is nothing to worry about since it is in a good place if that makes sense. the way that joint is crammed in there kind of keeps it together. there is no way it could further break and turn into the arm flying off or anything.

    at least in my honest opinion.

    So I guess there's probably not enough reports of the issue for Iron factory to issue a fix, like Dubhe (Tarn)?

    but aside from the cosmetic issue i dont see it as an issue at all. with tarn his shoulders broke just sitting on the shelf or you twisted them off and made the bot useless.

    but with megs i think he is just fine as is with a hairline crack.

    if it bothers you try contacting the seller or IF directly.

    A few IF figures have the same "crack" as Megs. It's no big deal.

    Ok cool. I'm newer to Iron Factory toys, It'll be displayed on a shelf once I figure out which mode I prefer. So if history shows no big issue, then I'm good.

    I’m with you man, worries the crap out of me. Makes me not want to mess the figure in case it breaks.

    The joints are definitely way looser now at minimum and not as fun to play with

    I'll show you how it's done, Starscream.

    Novatron? MegaPrime?

    These are great. They make me want an MTMTE kit and a G2 repaint!

    Bravo! I’ve tried the Nova wings, but Jetfire’s pack looks even better on him, I’ll have to do that. If you have Siege Brunt, you can give him Dr. Octopus-like tentacle claws too :) 

    Edit: Vastly inferior pics but here’s Doc Oc Megatron. This figure can hold his weight in Siege parts + dangle Sideswipe off a cliff, no problem. He stands stable as a rock.

    I'm curious bout your odd request. Both will surely tower over Tyrant

    Tyrant is a great figure but yeh, even Magic Square's Prime is just a tiny bit taller than he is. I wish someone would upscale him because I'd be perfectly happy with a Megatron that's bigger but not smaller than Optimus and my Op is the Magic Square one. :(

    Just discovered my copy has the same fracture. While the joint is still strong enough to lift and pose his cannon, it is a bit looser than the right arm (un-cracked). Has anyone had any luck getting replacement parts for this?
