Three problems led me to sold mine..

#1 The goddamn head always pops up on alt-mode.

#2 He can't stand properly.

#3 I lost two barrels of his secondary/small turret.

#1 I knocked the bit of the spring that makes the Automorph work out of place, so now you have to pull the lever up yourself. However, now it's no longer so sensitive it goes off if you look at it funny!

#2 If you do NOT lock the heels back, Brawl stands a bit better. Shame though the feet can't sit flat on the ground.

#3 Uh... Can't help that complaint! Only that people should be careful around all three turrets.

 

As for the leg spikes, that appears to be leftovers of an earlier CG design of Brawl. Though, it's not like very many Autobots will make it that close to him still functioning! :dclol

The electronics both failed on mine. first the light....then the sound. The wires simply broke right off of the "buttons" inside the cannon from it beind moved. Love the cheap designs on THOSE electronics....>_>

When it's in robot mode, the feet are completely opened up. I just don't lock the heel back to help it stand more.

only problem with mine is that the main barrel doesn't work any more.

I had no problems with my Brawl. I keep the batteries out for safe keeping.
