Blasted Effing Blast Effects are Eating My Transformers!

I don't remember if I still have Bludgeon, or if I sold him off when the problems with the rubber parts started being reported. Shame too, I like the design, aside from the many ways it tries to destroy itself.
I tossed mine after his hands broke but the treads were already melting the attachment points and the parts of his arms and thighs they were touching by that time.
I had no idea that they were bad to leave in. I have had some in on my tfs on my shelf for years now.
RIP those figures
(well hopefully you just deal with some paint stripping, which is still bad but not like 'actually damaging the plastic' bad)

Luckily mine is still in good shape.
Man, I do love that figure. I've still got the stock head, which could be improved a bit, but everything else about that toy does such an amazing job of going from a realistic tank to a robo-skeleton samurai.
Spare a thought for people who overspent on the BotCon Overlord.
Or did everyone immediately toss those after Titans Return Overlord came out?

Part of me still wants to backtrack and get that for a sort of Earth-2 Overlord, but it was already not worth the expense before factoring in the melting treads.
I remember taking my Bludgeon out of storage as soon as I reaad about that. It's a shame; it's otherwise a clever and very cool mold. Maybe I should track down a Legacy Bludgeon and get rid of it, idk.
I pretty much have taken to doing this, upgrading from a big ziptop bag with all of them in it (probably not a good idea long-term). Got into a really intense "buy up little organizing tackle box things" phase this time last year for various things like RID2015 clear plastic bits and WFC-onward blast effects. Even printed off little labels so I can organize them by type/color (so the colors don't leach into each other).
Problem is, now I want to collect and catalog all of the damn things.

This is how I store mine.

They should have thrown it away when they saw the face. Eyes with different area codes, oversized head that didn’t even try to match the body and a Handsome Squidward looking mug.
