My biggest issue with G1 Powermaster Prime was the trailer hitch, I think because it connected so high up on that swing arm, that pulling/pushing the truck (I was a kid) leveraged it and eventually snapped the peg. It is a plain 5mm peg in a 5mm hole, so it won't fall out like the original, it will hang on till it breaks off in the socket.

I have the Hasbro Commemorative Series reissue. What should we look out for to prevent breakage?
I'll admit it was probably bad luck in my case, but back like a year ago, I was transforming him for the first time in a good while and his super mode legs were REALLY tight and hard to swing out for the base mode and I was being hella careful but there are pegs inside the leg that are screwed in place and one of them snapped and broke on his right leg (left leg if you're looking at him from the front) and yeah now that leg (below the thighs) can just come off because that peg snapped.
Like I said, it literally doesn't affect anything, the breakage was on the inside of the leg (so you're never gonna see it) and the way the lower leg attaches to the upper leg is tight enough that like...yeah I can now remove that super mode leg but it doesn't just...slide off randomly.
I don't actually have Ginrai on-hand to take a photo to show what broke (still waiting for it and all my other jive to be delivered by the movers - WE PACKED IN SEPTEMBER BTW, IT'S NOVEMBER NOW IF YOU HADN'T NOTICED) but yeah.
Really was a minor breakage that doesn't affect anything but it is still breakage.
I did something similar years ago with Armada Unicron and Primus, though he needed help.
Finding those Unicron pics made me want to go digging. I found a few other old pictures. Some very, very old...
Christmases in the 80s. Clearly, I was on the Decepticons' side right from the start.
A few pics from the early 2000s:
I'm still disappointed they never made a Scourge combiner limb.

Thanks to proper scaling, you could actually recreate this pose nowadays with the Titan class figure.
I don't have any more He-Man pajamas or Care Bears sheets, though.
'Tis why I only specified the pose.I don't have any more He-Man pajamas or Care Bears sheets, though.
Thinking back, I remember on mine, I believe one stayed put while the other drooped.
And I see so many pics where they're like that, and I'm just like "Is that how it's supposed to be?"
I don't think it's supposed to be that way it's just... hinges that don't have a locking point and gravity.
To be fair, gravity had only been invented in 1982 and wasn't fully implemented world-wide until the early 90's.
Gravity wasn't discovered until Throckmorton Q. Downwardson looked up one day and just said "Nope" so hard that he immediately stuck to the ground.
nah, isaac newton invented mavity
