Well I broke my Crankcase's trigger cannons and I'd do it again. I also broke the spirit of my Hubcap (I dispay him with my David Ginola statue) I did break my BW Bat optimus' mechanism which was annoying but I eh, got over it.

Too many... Cryotek's leg is barely hanging on, the arm came off my Megabolt the day I got it ( yesterday) BM mega cheetor ( didn't really care), Depthcharge but I got him fixed, and some more I can't think of. Tried fixing them all but super glue never works...

Both my PM Prime's have lost their smokestacks. My RM G1 Convoy broke at the waist, I had to fix him with Legos to allow him to transform.

I just glued a gray 1x2 and a red 1x2, on the coordinating halves of his body. Robot mode looks better proportioned, but there is a larger gap in vehicle mode now, so I bought a trailer to draw attention away from it.

This is horrible.

The joint that connects the constructicon maximus head to steamhammer snapped today and a while ago Cybertron hardtop's joint that connects the legs and chest to the body cracked.

why can't hasbro provide better plastic with some toys.

My RM Prime broke that way too.

G2 Electro's gold plastic is very brittle. His leg is a joke at this stage.

Oversized Vortex and Blast-off have the same flaw in their shoulders. thankfully, bluetack allows them to transform, combine and can be concealed nicely.

WST KO Motormaster's arms require too much force to open up his arms when transforming to robot. Thankfully, bluetack came to the rescue, though he'll never combine again. Luckily. quite cheap and easy to replace on ebay.

I know 3 Kick-off toys who are appropriately named in that their legs come off.

I've known 4 people with Metroplex, all of which broke. 2 at the waist.

the Rubberbands in the waists of kicker and the G2 laserrod mafia type car both snaped. Kicker snaped while I was looking at him and I was kind of funny to watch his upper torso detach and fly away. droped my Gf screamer and bent a wing tip. Tm2 megatron lost a wing. g2 light blue grimlock was eaten by my dog. I think thats about it.
Nifty!

I have yet to break any of my toys *Knock on wood* I got very little toys in my childhood so I was always super careful with them. The Snapdragon I got 15-16 years ago is still in top shape, except one of the wing fins are bit loose and it's got bubble insert and everything.

The worst damage is breaking of RID Swindle repaints head. Simply fixed with superglue though. mind you, I haven't unpacked any of my TF's since moving yet, so goodness knows what damage has been done.

All that Hasbro cares about today is making cheap goods and seperating you from your money!

Mind you, my collection has seen better days:

BW TM Megs: snapped at waist. Twice.
G1 Hotspot: Right arm completely snapped at joint.
BW Winderbeast and Snappor: limbs too weak, guess what happened.
G2 Vortex: all blades snapped off!
RID Prime: His white chest has somehow turned BLUE!!!
RID Magnus: rubber wheelss came off.
Universe Ro-Tor: whole 4 blades came loose at backpack and came off.
20th Optimus: paint chip galore and his right knee is as weak as hell!
G1 Blaster: Eject mechanism won't eject. Poor Steeljaw.
And there's plenty more...
FANTASTIC!

I'd pop that Blaster apart and have a go at it. I fixed mine fairly easily, I don't remember exactly how the mechanism works but it was pretty basic stuff.
