Beast Wars Neo Rartorata, repaint of BW Injector.

Yes, I love him because he was so out there. Him being a Herald of Unicron in Neo was just icing on the cake.

Told ya. Here's another:

BW Neo Drancron, repaint of BW Sky Shadow.

Sadly, I don't have this guy to round out the trio:

BW Neo Elphaorpha, repaint of (the GPS-infected) Torca

Madre de Dios!

I can't even pronounce their names, much less look at them.

If you can actually get him to robot mode

ROTF Deluxe Soundwave

It is HORRIBLE the way the second face is standing there like a cancer and the sat-mode is nothing like in the movie (I think) plus the jet-mode which was non-existent.
And then what i've heard: that he's small for a deluxe.

But still, it is my first "big" Transformer and I like posing it. The wings and shoulder details and the moveable three toes give you possibilities.

Why don't people like it?

He's alot like Classics Galvatron, overly complex, really fiddly, wont stay together perfectly in either mode, etc. I'm able to overlook those flaws personally.

Also, ROTF Rampage. How can anyone dislike any of the ROTF Constructicons? They are all so monstrous and unique. Yeah, they're a few peas short of a pod, and wont combine without superglue, but that doesn't mean they aren't awesome. I see alot of flak concerning the Constructicons, but its always poor little Rampage who gets the most

I love ROTF Rampage and Longhaul. They've been on display on my shelf longer than any other movieverse toy. Monstrous, intimidating, deadly looking; they just scream Decepticon.

Armada Scavenger/Energon Treadbolt. I dig the "walking" gimmick, the rubber treads, the cockpit for Rollbar...

Also, seconding PRiD Knock Out and Soundwave... Esepcially Soundwave. Dig the character, dig the toy. I like to have Laserbeak perched on his arm.

For me, it's this guy:



Yes I know it's a double whammy in that he's from Beast Machines and that the character was the equivalent of Wheelie in it, but the figure is incredibly well done.

He has excellent articulation, right down to moveable thumbs and the sculpt is spot on, right down to a light up spark chamber. About the only thing this guy doesn't have is his launching energy fangs and were this any other character in any other series, the sculpt would be held in in a much higher regard.

Looking at anothe thread, I think Beast Hunters Shockwave might be one for me. Everyone else, it seems, can't stand his alt mode and doen't like the spinning cannon gimmick. As far as I'm concerned, his alt mode isn't that bad, and the gimmick is actually pretty fun... certianly better than yet another spring-loaded missile.
