When is a transformation fun to you? Quickly? Complex? Partsformers?

I like them reasonably fast. The more complicated are no fun to play with. I do love the Flipchangers, especially Robotmasters Mirage and BW Terrorsaur.

To be honest, if TF's were real, it would make sense to have quick, fluid transformations.

I do love the oversized KO Robotmasters: Wingstun, Wrecker Hook and Air Hunter. The deluxe size suits them. Flipchangers prove that Tf's don't need to have annoyingly complex transformations and can still be well articulated.

ROTF Mixmaster can stay in his truck mode which is a lot cooler anyway than that alien bot mode.

I actually really enjoy complex transformations, so I can revel and marvel at the engineering behind the process.
All parts must fit or be neatly hidden, though, no shellformers (even though I have a soft spot for ROTF Brawn).

HFTD Optimus Prime is the best example of it.
Of course there are exceptions, such as WfC Bumblebee.
It's all about trying too hard: The Amazing Adventures of Dennis and Bruce!

I like complex, but I don't care for fiddly, especially when it comes to lining up a bunch of panels just right...or other 'floating' parts that don't have a fairly apparent place to go or lock in. I like a lot of twists, turns, and folds...I don't like having to use the force to figure out just how a part or panel needs to be positioned.

Motto: "Mine's a Sparked forged from chaos"
Weapon: Razor Tipped Wing Swords
Sidearm Sideswipe.
Complex, yet at the same time simple.
the incorperated the "Twist" Into it, and the detail is incredable. I like transformers when they are done JUST RIGHT.
Animated Optimus is a good example, even with his "Gravity Shifting" Technology.
I Like almost every single AEC Figure. I like the energon figures the most though. SO MANY COMBINATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :HALUC:

Digibashes and everything else to that degree are on a hiatus right now.

THe current wave of Classic styled figures seems to hit me just right. Jazz, Warpath, Kupp, they're all complex enough to be able to have outstanding articulation, yet simple enough to get from one mode to another without having to line up fiddly panels or the like.
