Lame Transformers that you love despite them being terrible

Everyone seem to hate it. It is ugly. It transform badly, It have some major faults. It IS a bad Transformers toy.
But somehow, you cannot help but LOVE the thing.
So what is that Transformers toy you love very much, even if it's a bad toy and/or is hated by everyone?




For me, it's Beast Wars Injector.

Many people hate this figure. It appear he was a major pegwarmer back in the day. I have a MOC collection and I wanted a BW figure to add.
Injector was cheap bot loose and MOC. So I bought both. When I received them, I hang the MOC on the wall and I was fiddling with the loose one.

You know what? This guy is my favorite BW toy. He look like a ugly and disgusting alien in both modes. His transformation is easy and fun. His gimmick is stupid, but fun. And that robo head that come out of the beast mouth is revolting.

I really LOVE this guy!

Powermaster Optimus Prime, it's horrible, has like zero articulation and it's ugly, but somehow I kinda like him.

2nded. Also, G1 Rodimus Prime. :( Yeah, I said it. The robot mode is utter fail, and the vehicle mode is barely passable, but in the end IT'S A F**KING FLAMING WINNEBAGO!!!

For years I've tried yo come to grips with why there are those who enjoy PM Optimus and to this day I still don't get it...

As for what TF I love that's otherwise terrible... I think the only thing remotely close would have to Energon Optimus Prime. I don't necessarily love him, and I never had Wing Saber to turn him into a more worthwhile bot, but somehow I've managed to tolerate him for being what he is.

It's FunPub. It's their specialty.

don't take that to mean I'm a killjoy just because I can be, though...

This. I have BW Neo Rartorarta which is almost the same toy, and I love him to bits!

Another one I want to put forward: Armada Side Swipe:

Viled my most, but loved by me :)
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for Arms Microns, especially Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

I don't think anyone can say a Transformer mold is factually terrible, therefore it seems kinda impossible for one to like something and deem it terrible at the same time. Maybe I'm not seeing it.

I guess I can say the PCC line, especially non-Dinobots/Heavy Tread, since those are the only popular ones. I love those little bastards.

Animated Oil Slick. Receives lots of hate, personally I hated him too, until my friend gave it to me as a Christmas gift years ago. Love it. :grin:

The chain is 1/4 that length in reality :-(

Cybertron Red Alert. Always wanted him, despite his blockyness. Found him pressed against the window of a convenience store in Korea in 2009. Went in, dug through a bunch of food and magazines to get him under the shelf. Was all dusty and stuff. Scanned it at the cashier and it rang up around $6 US I think. Best experience of finding a Transformer. :D

Every time someone creates this thread I always give the same response: Universe Galvatron.

While I can understand why some people hate him, I can't help but really like this guy. Sure, he has pieces that fall off if you look at him wrong, making him an utter pain the ass to transform and pose, but once you DO manage to get him in a semi-decent pose, he looks so damn regal! I'm sure he would have been 10 times better had Hasbro actually followed through and made him a Voyager class figure, but he looks pretty awesome standing at Unicron's feet flanked by Scourge and Cyclonus.

Agreed on the PCC line, it's just a really fun line of transformers, and the minicons are top notch!

I don't think I have anything that's truly reviled... I mean, I have a fondness for Nitro Bee and Energon JetfireTorso-IronhidePants, but I'm not sure that those are truly hated. I know that the Nitro Bee mold gets flack for being nowhere near as good as its predecessors, but I don't have any of those, and I like the different flavor it brings to the table. I also know that Ironhide is hated as a character...but the toy is actually pretty great. It makes an AWESOME pair of legs because the heels are so gigantic and chunky and the torso mode is good too. Jetfire makes has a rather poor leg configuration, but his torso mode is top notch. And they look killer holding dotm HA Whirl, haha.

OMG! *dies laughing* I just saw that figure at a flea market an hour and a half. Lol. Passed it up because I thought it was ugly.



On my end... off the top of my head I have to say Armada Starscream. The sucker has like zero pose-ability but something about the design is appealing.
