I've noticed visible stress marks on most of the Animated figures I've handled, some stress marks existing while they're still sealed in the packages.

Seriously, the damage done to the first one was pretty close to the GPS problems. I'm guessing it was cracked when it was assembled, and moving it when trying to transform it was just too much for the plastic to hold together.
I've noticed quite a few stress marks on a lot of my figures as well. I just chalked them up to the plastic it seems that hasbro is using now. It feels very brittle. Even more so than the knock off rainbow constructicons
