Hey, Magnus could you have not taken it back, got your $ back then went somewhere else? Then been a bit more careful.

Well, when I say that the leg popped off, there was no break in the plastic. There is just a groove that the leg joint pops into that is somewhat wide for the actual joint. So nothing is "broken" but it is delicate. As far as going somewhere else? It is the only one I have ever seen.

I have kept the receipt, and will most likely return it if I seem another in the next 90 days. If not, no big whoop, he will most often remain in robot form on a shelf. If I tansform him once for everytime he does in the episodes, I think I might pull off 3 or 4 times max?

I am satisfied with the design, overall.

I plan to start showing gen 1 cartoon for my sons soon, and just want to reference it with guys that are in those episodes.

I have the same problem with my Heroes of Cybertron Arcee--one of the pieces on her back just plops out every so often, it's extremely frustrating.

Can you not just super-glue that into place Arcee?

Arcee · Post by **Arcee** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 10:08 am

I thought about doing that, but I wasn't sure if it would "ruin it" or something.

One of the red horns came off my Prowl statue I super-glued that back on and it was fine. Just use a little tiny bit, it does tend to melt the busts a tiny bit so be careful!!!

I have the Titanium Soundwave as well, its a design fault useless creatures these humans.

Its a wonder that they haven't picked up on this and called them back. Then again, for all they cost....

Heroes of cybertron figures are pvc. Super glue will melt the plastic badly. If it's that much of a hassle how about a little bit of pritt tac in the hole it might tighten it up.

For PVC, I usually use rubber cement.

Now, for my review of Titanium Megatron.

First off let me just say that Galloob really did not want anyone to shop lift any piece of this guy. There were more twist ties holding this one in/up in the package that it took me 20 minutes to get the figure out of the plastic psuedo-bubble inside. Oh, and the right arm popped off in the process.

The robot looks as I expected, a tribute to Gen 1 Megs, but obviously molded for a tank. Far more metal on this one than the Soundwave. The hands are shut into permanant fist, which was a bit disappointing. I was hoping to place the 20th anniversery Prime's Megatron style rifle in his hands as a further tribute, but that is a no go.

Transformation on the whole is simple, as long as you line everything up correctly (and I mean *just right*) the first time. I am a little disappointed also that the turrett does not swivel in the tank mode.

He will still look nice in my new growing collection, but overall this one is a C- (compared to Soundwave's B).

Welcome to modern toys.
I was at Armada Unicron for an hour on Xmas day before I got to play with him.

I hate them darn tootin things!!

Post by **Ultra Magnus** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 11:13 pm

Oh, I am used to then, with a 5 and 7 year old that I spoil rotten. However, it does seem a bit more extreme w/ transformers. I guess it is due more to the fact that with a little wiggle room in the package, the sliding or bending extra joints will cause the figure to pose in an unflattering position, or possibly damage.

The Titaniums specifically go a bit overboard to ensure that the bubble does not move either, though.

I know where to get one but I won't mention the name or how much you have to pay for one.

I only have war within fallen and he was well packed. In the past being a keen electritian i had some capble cutters lying around and used them to releive my figures of there nasty restraits.

i only have 3 of the 6" figures. im not really that much of a fan. i think the prime figure sucks real bad!! the 3 i own are the only 3 ive seen which ive liked so far and they are ultra magnus, sunstorm and megatron.

TRU had a couple of Titanium Soundwaves... I was in a buying mood so I picked one up, thought he looked pretty cool. Man, am I disappointed. He does look cool if you leave him in the package, but once you get him out & try to stand him up - GRRRR

His legs are so loose he keeps squatting. He looks ridiculous. If I hold my breath, make him stand, and back away slowly, he'll stay in position for about 3 seconds. He's the first tf I've bought that I might actually take back.

On the plus side, I got Menasor, and well... I am in looooove.
