It must be something to do with his transformation or functional design, 'cause aesthetics wise I think he's one of the coolest Decepticons ever made (I sadly don't own the toy, so I can't really comment...But I rather like him)
Delta Magnus wrote:Oh. I see. Is it a problem of loose pegs? A bit of varnish or super glue might fix that if it is.

You have every right to rant. I actually enjoy the more complicated figures more than the easier ones, but I must draw the line when the complexity hinders the stability of a toy.

There's complexity, and then there's everything getting in everything else's way and not pegging together properly without having to screw with it for fifteen minutes. It looks good in both modes, but going between them...

I whole heartedly disagree. He may have a bit of bits-running-into-other-bits when you're folding his arms and shoulders down to form the top of the car, but it's not -that- bad. And transformation to robot mode is smooth as silk.

I may change my mind after transforming him a few more times and getting used to him, but I just got him today, and my intial impression is that he's a pain to transform, and thus not a whole lot of fun.

G2: G1 redeco Optimus Prime (made a garish toy even worse).
Beast Wars: Injector
Machine Wars: Optimus Prime (SentinelA got this one right).
Beast Machines: Deluxe Optimus Primal
RID: Optimus Prime (puzzleformers suck).
Alternators: Optimus Prime (robot mode looks like garbage).
Titanium: War Within Megatron
Masterpiece: Starscream (first release)
Armada: The entire line, but the Optimus Prime superbrick mode really stands out.
Energon: Optimus Prime (I can't believe SentinelA picked Shockblast over this). It's like they're having a contest between the Armada team and the Energon team to design the worst Optimus toy.
Cybertron: Highwire (but the Kicker fig compensated for this)
Classics: DVD 2-pack Optimus Prime (another one he got right).
2007 Movie: Megatron (alt mode was just lazy).
Universe: Cheetor
ROTF: Optimus Prime (leader class - too bad, the first movie toy ruled so hard).
TF: Animated: Megatron (much like 2007 movie Megatron - lazy).
Prime:Beast Hunter Optimus Prime. Holy, people, STAY AWAY from this fig.
DOTM: Optimus Prime (Look! I have wheels for sleeves!)
Generations: WFC Jazz
I noticed that Optimus Prime came out quite a lot (mainly due to design and engineering issues) on this list. I think it's because Hasbro/Takara knows that the Optimus fans/collectors/worshipers will buy an Optimus toy regardless of its shoddy quality (whether it is the design or the QC on the production of the toy itself). Too bad, because we have seen some really awesome Optimus figs in the last 10 years (2007 Movie, Masterpiece, and Cybertron)that kicks so much ass that can be felt on the moon.

Obviously, you don't have Sideswipe. Take Jazz, and then add a gun that's too heavy for him to hold up.

At least with Sideswipe I could give hid BFG to another figure like I did with Ultra Magnus' BFS. Jazz just comes with a dinky little pea shooter.

awww. I liked Skram. Little negative-HotRod looking dude that he was.

FOC Jazz hit the bottom of the barrel by being the most tiny and hollow deluxe ever... the the gun he came with is one of the tiniest ever too. I wonder if FOC Jazz was a way for Hasbro to test how far they can be cheap until people cry "bullshit"?
