You are pretty exited to have received a Transformer you bought either in store or online. You unwraped it, you transform it... but man, WHAT THE HELL! Everything is hateful about the toy. The transformation is frustrating, some modes are ugly looking, the features were not as expected, there's some unforgivable flaws that just MAKE YOU HOWL WITH RAGE!

What were these TF? SIMPLYT POSTING A TF YOU JUST HATE OR JUST A LITTLE DISAPOINTING WON'T CUT IT. Post and describe only the one that made you ANGRY. The ones you hated so much that you either threw them in disgust, returned them to the store, or hid in the back shelf.

Let it be a warning form those who may buy these horrors.

First one that come to mind is HftD Leader Optimus Prime. The figure in truck mode is nice looking, if it werent for the DAMN PANELS THAT REFUSED TO FIT TOGHETER! The transformation made me MAD. The damn blades keep getting in the way, and there always seem to be something wrong with him... And the robot mode is ugly.

Next is a repost for a previous thread. This one is the king of all:

I'm a big Starscream fan. ALL versions.

I was pretty exited when I finally received my DotM Target Exclusive Voyager Starscream. I knew it was a RotF repaint. I never had the Voyager of RotF. The Leader is a Masterpiece after all. But the DotM repaint seemed fine.

WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT!

First, contrary to the youtube review, the cockpit and his eyes are made of PLAIN pastic. Not transparent. WTF?

Then, his elbows bend the wrong way.

But the worst offender: His hands are sticking out of his ass in jet mode! The manual clearly state that you can fold them inside, but for some retarded reason, that point of essensial engineering was omited.

This is the first time ever that a transformers actually made me angry.

Leader Ironhide actually made me pretty mad. He looks cool just standing there but that's about it. You can't move his head (without mods) and the panels on his arms that are supposed to hide his cannons keep popping open. They're very loose. Very frustrating. A few Beast Wars ticked me off back in the day (when I was a kid).

SWTF General Grievous (wheel bike). I am trying to recall what the exact problem was but it had to do something with getting the giant "wheel" parts to disconnect so it could be transformed and it wouldn't. Eventually I got it but I was so PO that it didnt really matter. I was a pretty big fan and had a lot of enthusiasm for the SWTF line but a lot of the ones I got were so loose that they couldn't stand or hold poses, so I had a lot of aggravation with them.

More of a WTF moment was with Energon Slugslinger and WFC Optimus Prime. I prefer to transform my figures without using the instruction manual and both of those figures had many WTF moments when I was trying to figure them out.

The ultimate anger-generator, back me up here guys, was TFTM Payload.

Head and shoulders fall off, bumper falls off, and there's a plunger longer than he is tall sticking out his back. WTF?!?!?

Definitely the worst figure design to date of any line. I may not LIKE the robot modes of, say, the motorcycle girls, but at least they are what they're supposed to be, and don't crumble into a pile of parts every time the bookcase is bumped.

The ROTF bike trios. Not only were their robot mode funky looking, the promised combine mode did not appear. RAGE!!!

But at least they don't fall apart at the slightest touch, or have a plunger sticking out their backs that made ANY kind of pose impossible except sitting down.

Universe Galvatron. I love the guy and was excited to find him. Then I opened the package. That toy is total crap. I can't believe they released it.

WFC Bumblebee! I thought he looked spectacular from the images i saw.

WHen i finally got him and started to transform him into car mode. None of his panels were fitting together properly and pieces were falling off all over the place. I kept trying to get everything tight but to no avail.

Bot mode just looks ridiculous in person, IMO, and the way his hands are at that angle permanently just drove me bonkers.

I got so mad at the QC of my particular figure and was so disappointed in the bot mode i actually flipped out and stomped the shit out of it into a million pieces and tossed it in the garbage.

I FRAKING HATE THAT FIGURE.

human alliance sideswipe. when i pulled him out of the box i thought to myself "damn that is a nice car" when i transformed him, not so pretty. i was sooooooooo pissed! HE HAS A DAMN CAR ON HIS BACK!!!!!!!
