My only gripe with the design [outside QC issues] now is the shoulder articulation. For whatever reason, they neglected to account for all the back and chest hindering the shoulder's from pivoting freely about the designed axes. In the end, you're very limited on poses and none are too dynamic.
To follow up with Hellion's thoughts, I have taken the one well assembled TRU Rodimus from bot to car several times without fear of breaking him... except for the wrist cannon/exhaust pipes. The pivot is a little tight and I thought I might break them off rather than free the first time. I agree that the Takara one feels a lot more fragile though. Especially when trying to cram the car into the camper section. I'll never get him back apart I don't think.
Also, once you get to the point where you know the transformation, it really isn't that complicated either. You can kinda feel your way through the steps the second time even.
Typically though, this is why I buy two of each TF I own. I'm lazy and like to be able to display in each mode. Pricey at times, but I also don't buy every TF out there which helps offset the expense.
