Yeah, a lot of the Scramble City combiners were bad for that (Sinnerwtwin in particular, IIRC). Either the head would snap off at the connection point, usually right at the neck, or the 'spine' would break because trying to flex the joint to use as a shoulder connector rather than a knee joint would stress the plastic and many times the body was too tight to allow the easy manipulation and movement of the spine joint to swap from arm to leg mode and vice versa.

Actually, you can move Sinnertwin's robot mode head down, but you have to loosen a couple of screws first. you first need to loosen the screw on his waist (or remove it entirely at first) so that will start to loosen the pressure on the head so you can ease it down gently without risk of breaking it, and then start to loosen the one screw in the groove behind the robot mode head. Just by loosing those two screws just a smidge is enough that I can even use Sinnertwin in an arm mode without any stress on the head

I had several Sinnertwin figures over the years. The bluish-green plastic became brittle over time. I've never had the beast legs break on any but I've had the necks snap as well as breakages at the robot legs. I opened them up to fix them and found that there seems to be a piece on the inside that's causing too much resistance on the neck which is what's causing the necks to snap. Even with the brittle plastic, it's not brittle enough to snap on its own. Otherwise he'd never be able to combine as the stress of plugging him into Hun-Gurr's feet would cause Sinnertwin's head to shatter. It's the piece of molded yellow plastic on the inside that's really causing the necks to snap on this figure. So I'd just avoid trying to make him an arm unless you try to do something about that. I've long since sold all of mine so I can't say for sure what and where the piece is but I do remember something being there that was almost preventing the neck from moving. I did multiple tests after I fixed the necks and the piece was trying to split Sinnertwin apart at the seem while I was moving the neck. I did this without the screws in otherwise the neck would've just broke again. So while that piece is inside and the screws are in, the neck will keep breaking no matter how well you fix it. Just locate the problem piece and cut/sand/file it off/down to prevent it from breaking the neck when going to arm mode.
