Worst transformer toy I have ever owned.

Postby FurStreak » Thu Oct 04, 2012 2:50 pm

Ok, so I have been really hyped about the Prime series line and have been wanting to get at least one of each of them ok. Well, to my luck I found Airachnid available for purchase on the hasbro toy shop website recently and quickly bought one up. It arrived the other day and I must say, This is absolutely the worst transformers toy I have ever had the displeasure of owning. The vehicle mode is cool, don't get me wrong. But the bot mode is just pathetic. There is next to no articulation in the legs, the arms and hand are worse than the old G1 Block bots ones. Yes I said WORSE! The only other arms I could compare them to is the US version of Prime series Cliffjumper. The first edition japanese version was fantastic. But I aam severely disappointed in what Hasbro has to offer the US consumers. It is as if they are purposely making a KNOCKOFF edition just for us and giving other countries the pick of the litter so to speak.

What do you guys think?

It's a bad figure, but not the worst by any stretch of the imagination.

Armada Sideswipe and all of his repaints are the worst Transformers ever.

But guys, he's talking about the worst Transformer he's owned. Maybe he doesn't own the figures that really suck.

I think Airachnid is the worst of the Prime line for sho (talking slang about toys :BANG_HEAD:), but I need her (and Dreadwing) to complete my in-show Decepticon cast.

Uh, there was no FE Airachnid, and the FE line wasn't exclusive to Japan. Unless you mean, the Japanese release of the FEs.

The first wave of Deluxes (Bumblebee, Arcee, and Starscream) made it to U.S retail, but the 1.5 (Cliffjumper) and Voyagers (Optimus and Bulkhead) didn't. They were in Canada and other countries, though. Vehicon of Wave 2 was only in Asia and Terrorcon Cliff was cancelled altogether (until his "re-release" as an SDCC exclusive).

Rotf Legends Devastator is great, though the supreme one was a bit of a letdown in terms of articulation and lack of robot modes from what I hear. Looks good though. Armada Side Swipe deserves the hate though, lol. But I'd take him over the abortion that is PRiD Airachnid any day. At least he has reasonable quality, mass and a little mini-con buddy.
