Gotta like the alt mode though, right?

I know it's been done to death, but G1 Wheelie isn't exactly a thing of beauty.

Armada Sideswipe also looks pretty bad, along with most of Beast Machines and the movie line...

I liked Jetstorm and....yeah, okay, most of Beast Machines, I agree.

So far several of the movie bots look cool. Ironhide. Bumblebee. Blackout. Ratchet. Optimus.

You know, I used to think the Decepticons were the cool looking figures in past lines...

The only Fugly transformers i've ever seen were nightscream and the bayformers

He's just a young rebellious youth!

And yet, I can still look at him more than I can E-Ironhide and E-Prime.

I'm with the guy that says G1 Megs, he's got a helmet on top of a helmet and not to mention the innuendo with his trigger location, its right up there with the sacred Little Mermaid vhs box

I wonder if Nightscream has to cut his hair once in a while?
G1 Megs trigger location probably raised a lot of parental eyebrows when he came out in stores.

I know about the disney innuedno, but what was with the box?

And don't go blaming a fitness dude for Nightscream.....I have the same build that dude has ( though my hair is in a ponytail mostly ), and I doubt I had anything to do with a disliked Maximal.

My choice also goes to G1 Megatron, for the exact same reasons lbigray said. I also nominate Fortess Maximus for fugliness too.

That tells the story

Yeah I'd have to say G1 Megatron as well. That was one of the oddest and ugliest figures ever. I'd also say Cybertron Optimus Primal. He looked like a melting Snickers bar.

Man, G1 megs was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad. But, Nightscream, holy crap. He looked like a zombie MJ. But, most of G1, although I loved alot of them, some, just resembled boxes with un-posesable legs and arms.

Energon Prime, while unfit to be the Autobot leader, is more than appreciated by Total Annihilation fans wishing for a plastic incarnation of The Can.

The unreleased G2 Motormaster had a terrible color scheme, but the design was still aesthetically pleasing. Energon Downshift has lackluster design but a great color scheme.

G2 Swindle is quite ugly- he has the terrible orange/purple camouflage endemic to G2 and a badly misproportioned head. Also note the odd brush-like gun, which one can fondly term to be the "Broom of Doom".

Yeah, G1 Megs was pretty bad, well, at least the toy version. In the cartoon he was pretty cool.

But if you think Megatron was bad, look at Shackwave, nobody has any trouble telling what gender that guy is. Honestly, I'm shocked (no pun intended) that toy was actually produced, then released, and sold in stores, given his... trigger placement. That toy is just wrong on so many levels... I get the heebie jeebies just thinking about it.

And yeah, now that you mention it, Swindle, and most combinders were pretty much crap, although I think Swindle is probably the worst of the lot. Seawing might beat him for that title... he has a large, stout body and the tiniest head ever.

A few of the late Beast Wars figures are bad too... namely a couple Fuzors and most of the Transmetal 2s; notably Optimus Minor, Sonar and TM2 Cheetor.

Yeah, as I read through on Megs and his trigger, it brought images of my Shockwave and his willy. However, aside from his manliness (can you say "shrinkage" Shockwave?) Shockwave was an infinitely better looking robot to Megatron.

No one has said Wheeljack yet? He was quite possibly the ugliest G1. He really didn't look like the box art or the cartoon and he had those stubby legs that looked like he was cut off at the knees.

Burn wrote:And there's nothing wrong with Nightscream, it was a good toy, just needed a bit of tweaking. Buuuuut he's from Beast Machines and I know how pig headed people can be towards that series.

Hey, I liked Beast Machines, and I STILL hate Nightscream. He's ugly, full of himself, and not especially bright, and I honestly don't know why the other Maximals let him talk to them the wa he did. Optimus or Cheetor should have taken him aside after an episode or two's worth of his slag and straightened him out... Preferably Cheetor, since Optimus was less commander and more spirit guide by this point, and Cheetor probably would have had no problems smacking some sense into the flippy-haired little punk.

Edit: Almost forgot... Ugliest transformer? SO has to be Injector, but he's supposed to be ugly, so that might be cheating.

Agreed, wheeljack is cool, the resident G1 Samurai. He's like the Snakeeyes of G1.

G1 Megatron. Super Crotch Thrust, Mega Helmet and Unibrow. Gangly and IMHO craptastic.

Given the fact that till Nightscream showed up, it was pretty much 4 against several million drones, and I don't think the 's had the luxuary of being picky.

I also love Beast Machines. I also hate Nightscream. And none of this changes the fact that he is the ugliest toy ever made.

Wheeljack the character is cool. The toy is ugly.

Ironhide and Ratchet were quite disappointing in bot mode.

I cannot believe nobody has said Cindersaur yet.
