"What a disappointment."
"Quite."
"... you two are jerks."
IIRC the issue wasn't so much "gold" plastic, it was any swirly metallic plastic. Hasbro, at the very least, seems to have figured it out. Shocked that a TT product from 2010 was having those issues though.Ask Hasbro Transmetal Megatron. His crumbly plastic's dark brown with a slight purple tint.
