Issues with Wave2 and 3 universe deluxe

I found some issues on the wave 2 and 3 universe delux. Wondering if anyone else has the same problems or just me

AcidStorm - over all is ok, most of the joints are tight. but the holes on the arms to mount the blasters are bit loose.

IronHide - over all is fine. joints on the legs and arms are tight, but the joint connect the waist and the body is poorly designed. it pops out so often

Galvatron - has a few problems here are the pictures


This is the joint connecting left arm and body, the joint on the arm is really really loose, comes off every time i transform, and the other part connects the body is one of the tightest joint on the toy


the joints connecting thighs and legs comes off once a while, u got be careful when u transform


the part pegs the thread in the back is not very tight, sometimes it pops off when u play with the toy


still can not figure out what are these for

Re: Issues with Wave2 and 3 universe delux

I got to play with Galvatron at AFX and I found so many problems with him. while transforming him half the legs somehow ended up on his back I could not figure out how it happened. The gun arm kept falling off, and to many of the joints were loose. The only thing I liked about the toy was the head sculpt.

Re: Issues with Wave2 and 3 universe delux

Aren't the 2 things that look like feet allow you to transform him into a third "canon" mode as an homage to the original G1 toy?

Re: Issues with Wave2 and 3 universe delux

I found that the holes to mount the cannons on my Acid Storms arms were loose as well. I also found that on my Sideswipe they had used the 180 degree rotation bracket for his arm twice. So one side will rotate and click in position nicely while the other one look kind of gimpy.

Hopefully these issues will solve when Henkei comes out?

Re: Issues with Wave2 and 3 universe deluxe

The "feet" looking things that pop out on his back are just to make him look more G1. The original Galvatron had them on his shoulders but since Hasbro could not pull it off with this toy they put it on his "backpack" instead. I don't mind Galvatron but he goes have many issues which will deter hrdcore collectors. As a display piece though he looks badass......
