Re: QC Issues for Hasbro Masterpiece Optimus Prime
Do you see the pin joint between the two wheels, the one that the wheel cover for robot mode is attached to? That joint is cracked open. There's a mold line there, and the stresses involved in moving the wheel cover have caused it to fatigue and break along the line. It's done this at the same location on both legs.
I got the most recent Japanese MP-10 reissue last year, and it has broken this way as well. I've transformed that one maybe 10 to 15 times total, and I shaved down the corners to try and reduce the stresses... at this point I'm thinking it's less of a QC problem and more of a design flaw.
I've got some free time over the holidays so I'm going to try repairing both of my MP-10s.
