To be honest, the only leader class toy I truly treasure is the ROTF LC Optimus mold. But then, he was designed by one of the Takara guys who does Masterpiece figs, which is probably why he looks as screen-accurate as he does.

I like HFTD LC Starscream too, and I'd like him a whole lot more if his alt mode wasn't bloated from all those batteries, voice chips and speakers.

I just find LCs to complicated in terms of transformation (yeah, I said that. Every LC figure I've gotten since Movie1 Megs proves that). Even though the new Weaponizers have simple transforms, the gimmick sacrifices a lot for me.

And thanks.

I know where you're coming from. Most of the time, I can't transform a modern TF without the instructions sheet. But DOTM Ironhide seems to be pretty simple; I don;t have the fig, but that's what everyone says. ROTF Megs, too. He's probably the simplest LC there is, next to Ironhide.

As for the Weaponizers, I'd rather they be more complex than deal with the sacrifices they made to the figs. Bee had faux wheels on his forearms, and OP shouldn't have fake chest plates as an LC toy.

And they're not cheap, either.

For me, Megatron was a pain. I know, stupid right? But mine has some sort of defect. Whilst transforming him, I managed to break his arm off. I was able to get it back on, but I tried transforming him 10 more times, and I couldn't do it without the arm slipping off. Not to mention the fact that the lights and sounds activate when I lightly touch him....anywhere.

You mean the G1 transformation sounds? They're mean to compliment the transformation sequence, to make it seem like he's making the sounds as he transforms.

But if you mean the arm cannon, yeah, it's annoying. Damn thing makes a blasting noise every fricking time I move the arm around. In fact, that stupid thing is the reason he doesn't have an elbow; to accommodate the wire.

You know, ROTF Megs is actually a decent representation of he CG model if not for the arms--hulking proportions, accurate head-sculpt. I've seen some kitbashers who made him look awesome with customized arms.

You know how you move his arm and it makes some sort of bashing sound? Yep, don't have to touch him for that to happen.

Also 'I am Megatron!' keeps playing whenever I place my finger on his chest.

I have nothing against the figure itself. I just don't like him, and he's in a box with a bunch of other Transformers that I didn't get a chance to get out from the great move 2 years ago. Let him annoy them.

Same thing with Movie 1 Prime and his sounds.

The Cybertron leaders are fine. I never got around to buying a Leader Animated figure. (although I saw Megatron and Ultra Magnus plenty of times).

LOL! Yeah, sound gimmicks are a pain even when they work like they're supposed to.

It doesn't get worse than having to hear Tom "Spongebob" Kenny do his horrendous imitation of Cris Latta's Starscream whenever I accidentally touch the button in alt mode.

As a general rule, all the batteries of LC figs come off within a week of purchase.

I'm still kicking myself for not buying Galaxy Convoy when I had the chance. One of the best Primes ever produced.

I really don't find any transformer hard to transform and I never use the instructions. ROTF LC OP takes a little time to get the arms lined up while putting him in alt mode but that's it.

You need to try Masterpiece Megatron.

I have MP-05 along with the rest of the mp line and megatron isn't that hard or a fragile as everyone claims. One of the main reasons I love TF toys is because they are like puzzles and I want more intricate transformations. I wasn't to fond of the ROTF figures but some of them you actually had to think about to transform them. I like looking for the tabs and slots on the figures the human alliance line has good transformations and deluxe ROTF skids and mudflap along with sideways had pretty good transformations to and I'm talking about putting them into alt mode because robot mode is a lot easier to do. I think I'm gonna start doing timed transformation videos on YouTube lol.
