I brought him to school one day maybe a year after I bought him, and then his left leg started falling out. Within about two weeks, it fell off. My mother tried to help me fix him, but it was too late. The Predacon leader was a cripple.
Fast forward to about two years ago. I take him out of storage for the first time since he broke. Memories come flooding back.
I transform him a couple times, to get a feel for him. His leg is much more stable in dinosaur mode, so after experimenting with him in robot mode, I make to transform him back.
His torso won't rotate, properly, though. I rearrange his holster and try again.
Snap.
I still have his pieces. Torso, right leg and crotch, and his left leg. I'm not skilled enough to repair him, and I can't bring myself to throw him out.
When the 10th anniversary figures came out a while back, I hunted for that Megatron. I could only find the green and burgundy one. A fine toy in its own right, but a poor replacement for a childhood friend.
The Predacons are leaderless. Megatron is dead.
So, tell me, /toy/, who have you lost?
