Sometimes toys simply expire from old age and it's not even your fault. I was cleaning up the G2 shelves and Hotrod (or Jolt, if you're American) had just collapsed in two, his internal "O-ring" having rotted away 🙁 Will have to see if I have a suitable replacement in storage...

Both halves of Transformers Generation 2 Hotrod / Jolt, a purple and blue robot holding a sword. His upper body is now disconnected from his legs as his internal rubber "O-ring" has disintegrated over the last 30+ years.
