I've got SS Ironhide and Earthrise Ratchet, plus the WFC mold for Sureshot, DX Black Guard and the Auto Trooper.
I'm not worried about the 5ML ports on Ratchet but that front part of the vehicle mode is a complete disaster of a desgin, if anything the Earthrise/Seige desgin was a better transformation and what could of prefected the Earthrise side is if they just made some need feet to make them look like a Earth based vehicle instead of something inbetween, clearly someone decided to short cut on the desgin to save money
Has anyone else here had this problem?
Months ago, I bought a Studio Series 86 Core class Ironhide in one of Hasbro Pulse's sales. When it arrived with the other figures I bundled with it during the sale, upon first opening it, I noticed that Ironhide's left shoulder was cracked. The ball joint attaching the arm to the shoulder wouldn't stay in the shoulder socket because of the crack making the socket too wide.
Then, about three and a half weeks back, I bought another Core class Ironhide from Target, and just now got around to opening it. Just like the first one, right out of the package the left shoulder has a crack. Not as severe as the crack on the first one (since the arm joint is still secure enough inside the shoulder socket), but it's only a matter of time before it gets worse.
Is this a common thing with this toy? Do all SS86 Core class Ironhides have a crack in their left shoulder?
Note that this problem doesn't seem to have affected my SS86 Core class Ratchet.

Mine seems fine. No crack. Joint is working great.
Is that the one that uses painted transparent plastic?
That's the Voyager.
No, it's the one that doesn't have any transparent plastic at all.
I guess they used lower quailty plastic than normal in the figure or it was purposely done thin to save on plastic
Okay, I took a closer look, and there is a stress mark right at the socket. It’s still tight, but I’ll keep my eye on it.
Well that's going to haunt me.
That Sludge neck add-on is terrifying.
I get wanting a longer neck, but that just doesn't work.
I don't like it on Sludge, but I do plan on ordering the Paddles kit:
Maybe it's the fin "mane" on the back of the head, but it somehow looks better than it does on Sludge.

Yeah, Slug extra neck looks awful but I'd Love a Paddles.
