Thank goodness these guys weren't around when I was three, using a small rifle my Grandpa made for me and some bait to get rid of the giant rats.

These guys don't really care what people do with things in the privacy of their own home, as long as they've insulated the company from any lawsuits that may result. As in, my TF:A toys may no longer pass drop tests, but I've done so much "warranty invalidation" on them that there's no way I could successfully sue Hasbro if a kid choked on a fragment of my Bumblebee or Swoopmace. If you wanna bullseye womprats they don't care, as long as you can't do with with an unmodded version of their toys. ;)

It just seems odd that, given what I've seen them for for remolds in Botcon exclusives, why they could not fix the mace in a better way, rather then add to the toy cost with useless parts (though I am happy that you were able to fix it!)

Well, even neutered it still allows for lightpiping effects, so it's not utterly useless. And it's always easier to make a part bigger, just carve more out of the mold die.
