I will say this again, I love these figures and am joyed there were done, but I will say this. I don't mind if hasbro releases a mold never used by them or rarely used again if somethings are done to improve a small quality here and there, mainly paint this go around instead of stickers like so so they are just that much better

 

The stickers suck sssooo much, I tried taking off two – one wouldn't come off at all and one ripped. I have up on applying them. I'm going to buy some Decepticon stickers from Reprolabels and call it a day.

My figures have no obvious QC issues. All the joints are just the right amount of tightness, zero warping of plastic though I haven't transformed them to their alt modes yet.

 

Mentioning what I had said earlier, the Vehicon does require exact transformation or it will stress the joint on the back, though not sure if me or the figure being used in general from assembly

 

"Ah, what a sign it is of evil life, Where death's approach is seen so terrible!."

 

I noticed terrorcon cliffjumper's micron is shown in one of the instructions. Possible re-release?

 

doubt it, I think these are just reprints of the original instructions just with a new header

 

In fact the instructions have a sticker pointing to the AM saying "Not Included" or something along those lines.

 

yeah they do,

 

I'll second that about the stickers. I think I will just take them all off eventually they are already bubbling and peeling.

 

God it's...well, sort of good to hear I'm not the only one that has issues with these stickers. A couple tears, lots of bubbles; these were poorly conceived and even more poorly realized. The only previous AM figure I got was red Frumble, but I don't remember things being this bad.

 

My God Neptune has been missing for a week. Supposedly delivered. I've had a case open for five days and haven't received any updates. Called today for an update. Service rep said I'll get a call tomorrow. Sure...

 

I must have won the QC lottery because other than pieces flying off because I don't know how to transform him Breakdown has no real issues with him. In fact I'm more surprised I didn't break him.

 

This is a relief, I'm still terrified that I'm gonna get bad QC but at least I'm in this with a chance

 

So, is anyone else having trouble with Breakdown in alt-mode? On the last step where you swing the back end into place and everything snaps together, I can't get it all to stay put. You get two things locked into place and another two tabs pop out. Especially the two tabs on the backside that plug into the leg bumpers. Those suck.

 

I've been having the exact same issue. So far I've eventually managed to get everything massaged into place but I'm not sure where the source of the issue is.

 

Yeah. I'm usually good at figuring out mistransformations and getting things lined up, but this guy is giving me fits. I think there's tolerance issues. The left shoulder hinge on mine is obviously punched a couple millimeters out of whack which means the multi-angled shoulder joint doesn't have any tension like it should.

 

Thigh swivels are frozen on my Breakdown too, does anyone have a fix? I tried heating it up with a hair dryer but it didn't seem to do much.

 

I used shock oil and they're okay now.

 

Swivels on my Breakdown were fine. I did have a misassembly issue: The transformation hinge for his right shoulder was installed backwards, so it sagged a bit in bot mode. I had to punch out the pin & reverse it. Caused some stress marks in the process, but it's good now I think. Mine goes into alt mode just fine.

 

I find it fights me but I can get it. More force then I am comfortable with but nothing broken yet
