Mine is classics Tankor/Octane. I already knew he is a piece of crap but for some reason, I still wanted to hunt him down. After I got him even in cheap price, man, he is really a piece of crap. Not even bother to sell him but he is hiding in the crowd now.

Another one is Animated Samurai Prowl. He is totally fine but the armor piece is just way too heavy for his body to cope with. I've fixed his hip joints numerous times but still. Ended up selling him.

Well, I won't really use the term of "angry" but "frustrating" to the toys. Angry part will be used on the designers.

Do KOs count? If so I bought a KO Darkwing and Dreadwind set that was below the quality of poor. I never bothered to take pics so I could post a warning to buy them (I didn't have a camera either) but once I transformed them once I immediately threw them in the trash. Well, that was a waste of cash.

I wouldn't go so far as to say any toys made me angry, but there a few I've been disappointed with for whatever reason. The most recent one that comes to mind is DotM Skyhammer.

I wasn't overly impressed with Skyhammer in the first place; his robot mode looked okay, but his helicopter mode, though cool looking, bore little resemblance to any helicopters in real life, also his mech tech weapon looked very underwhelming. Despite my first impressions of him, I had only good things to read about Skyhammer on the Internet and a lot of people raved him as the best figure in the DotM toyline.

So I decided to buy him, and realized I should have trusted my instincts. He robot mode looks even less impressive in real life, his posability is horrible especially in the legs, and his mech tech weapon is too blocky, looks cheap, and is way oversized. His helicopter mode looks even less realistic in person and pieces pop off too easily during transformation. Very disappointed with this figure.

Another transformer I'm disappointed with is Beast Wars Torca. I really like the design in both modes, but Gold Plastic Syndrome will only lead to disappointment sooner or later. Recently, my Torca's tail snapped right off without so much as a stress fracture to warn me. I wish I knew about GPS sooner.

The K-Mart repaint of the Swoop mini-con. I bought the set at K-Mart for my sons, and it fell apart right out of the box. They were so disappointed, and I was very annoyed. Not once have I ever transformed that thing without every single ball joint falling out of the socket, and it was the only nearly complete (his left foot disappeared into the car when I opened the box never to be seen again) TF that I have just thrown away.

The taxi from that set is a very close second. Crap. Pure crap.

My girlfriend's mum bought me a movie Bumblebee, but it was a non-transforming action figure! It didn't even really have any actions, it just stood there. I wasn't angry (it was a gift, would have felt a bit unreasonable to start huffing about it) and besides, I didn't feel anywhere near as bad about it as she did- she was devastated she'd accidentally bought me a non-transforming TF!

Another purchase that can be put into the disappointment/annoying/buyers remorse would be T.H.S 01 Galaxy Convoy. Hybrid Galaxy Convoy was a pretty cool scaled down figure but it was so very fragile and wasn't that sturdy, also very expensive for such a tiny figure. It just wasn't what I was expecting it to be. I still display it but it is very rarely toyed with.

ROTF Deluxe Mudflap. I'm an Undergrad, have fiddled with hundreds and hundreds of Transformers. This thing is a piece of garbage that even if my life was on the line, i still don't think I'd be capable of transforming him.

That Transformer you bought that actually made you ANGRY?

For me,recently it would be DOTM Ultimate optimus prime. the mech tech over sized weapon is the worst part of the entire toy. it's too heavy & big to clip on to the back clip. it's too heavy & big to fit in the 2 hands without blocking the head,chest & everything else. I kinda want to see the whole front of the robot mode on a display shelf. not have the over sized gun block the whole upper half of the robot mode.

the trailer suit of armor was the 2nd most dissapointing thing about the toy. it's the nightmare of armada leader sized optimus's brick pants all over again.

the transformation from suit of armor to trailer was more frustrating & had to manuever tons of kibbly parts to get a reqtangular trailer.

about the only redeeming part of this toy is the ultra sized truck cab/bot optimus prime toy. it is honestly a really good toy. I'd rate it better than the 2007 movie voyager optimus toy & better than the HFTD movie voyager optimus toy.

UPDATE EDIT:

A close second for a TF toy that made me angry: Is DOTM Voyager sized Shockwave. personally the toy is total garbage in both modes. the transformation is too involved with playing with all the kibbly bits.
the alt mode is just horrible the tank turrent isnt is too much on one side & not alligned in the middle properly.

out of the 3 NOT-Shockwaves radical updated homages new molds from energon,animated & DOTM,IMHO,The Dotm version is the worst.

I don't think I've ever really been angry with a toy, especially when it comes to transforming them. However, I have been heavily disappointed with one: Generations Scourge. The toy looks great in either mode, but design-wise it can't stand at all. Unless it's leaning forward somewhat or leaning against something, that sucker will fall on his tush in robot-mode. The chipped paint on the head after just one transformation and the completely odd look of his gun (to the point it looks more like something kinky from Sweden?) compounded it, but what really sealed the deal to kill him? His joints. The legs just gave out fast. The gun wouldn't stay up. After awhile I just pondered giving him to my niece, or tossing him.

I figured she'd be fine with Red Alert and gave him the boot.

(As an aside, don't get me started about Universe Galvatron either. I should've done my homework)

TM2 Cybershark looked so good in the box to me, but the bot mode on mine had the panels falling off if I breathed on it. Argh!
