The Monsterbots.

And most of my Beast Wars stuff. Don't have a lot but when i do buy them i like to buy the ugliest or most outlandish designs. They are ridiculous by conventional TF aesthetics but charming to me.

DOTM Voyager Optimus Prime. I thought he was terrible when I first saw him, but I had one of those Target coupons last summer while voyagers were on sale so I got him cheap.
I honestly couldn't put it down because I liked it that much. I know, he's not "movie-accurate" at all, but he's worth giving a shot if he's on clearance, despite the unbridled fandom hate pointed toward him.

Wait what? I didn't know so many hated this guy.

Don't worry my precious. You are my favorite Transformers of all time and I will protect you from the haters. ;_;

RotF Leader Megatron. I really wish he had some articulation on his gun arm, but posed right he looks really cool. He's really accurate to his original cgi design, tall, nearly kibble free, and has a fun and easy transformation (especially for a leader). Also, I think he subconsciously reminds me of the Inhumanoids, another favorite of mine growing up.

The fact that he's selling for over 70$ broken and 200$ complete on Ebay disqualify him from being bad and unloved.

I thought the initial hate towards him is what led to him being so hard to come by.

Personally I regard a toy as "terrible" only if it doesn't function in a way it obviously was intended to and/or lacking some utterly vital attributes (i.e. unable to stand, parts not locking into place, practically breaking itself), NOT because it's unpopular or "ugly" or because the character is the butt of many jokes.

'Course, unpopular/ugly/butt of many jokes tend to be favorites of mine...

Apparently you can peg dotm Laserbeak onto his back. Next time I have a chance to print off a coupon and get up to my Walmart, I'll be picking them both up. Dotm deluxes are 7.27 and Voyager Optimus is 15. It's wayy too good a deal to pass up(and it looks great!).

Credit where credit is due for the find.

Wow really? I had no idea! That's neat. I'll have to get Laserbeak if there are still some looming around.
