swindle and payload we're huge disapointments. They would have been a lot better with real Heads. as far as all the others i wish they would have done a better job with starscream, Those arms they kill the whole jet look. i really dont need him to be bigger just hide the arms.

Brawl by far, he's the only one that won't work at all (with the wierd shoulders). Starscream could have been way better. Leader Megatron half-way sucks (despite this, I bought him to go with my Leader Prime). I love Dreadwing's alt mode but his bot mode leaves something to be desired. And that's just what I have.

I have a Classic Camaro BB and I managed to figure out how to get his hood back up (if it's not broken). There's a little yellow peg that I push with a tiny micro screwdriver to get it to pop back out, and when it does, the hood stays up. I don't transform him much anyway, though.

besides automorph I think the complete realgear line is a stinking pile of s**t that I thought transformers was over with.. cheap plasticky feel with bright fluorescent colors.. whoever thought of that was having an bad trip in his student dorm room.

Power-Up is ugly, yes. But do I like him? Yes, yes I do.

Okay, why all the '74 BB hate? I love the figure! And yes, I have the "thick piece" problem, but it hasn't broken... yet. All you have to do is make sure you transform him properly. The only major problem I have with him is that the doors are easy to break if you rotate them wrong, but that's a simple glue gun job.

As for Blackout... yes. Why the f*ck don't the legs stay attached? Christ, they're supposed to work.

SPEAKING of legs... why the HELL does no one complain about Barricade's sh*tty legs? ESPECIALLY when you're transforming him! It takes me 15 minutes to get his legs in place, sometimes even longer! I like Barricade as a figure enough, but DAMN.

Oh, Bonecrusher.... yeah, I actually think he's scaled correctly. But is he a bridge troll? Yes. Yes he is. A walnut headed bridge troll.

Jazz? I happen to like my Deluxe Jazz. Sure, the arms are borked, but it's a GREAT figure!

Leader Megs? You know, he wasn't frozen the entire movie Hasbro.

Deluxe Scorponok.... worst. Robot mode. EVER. Seriously... you know what I would have liked? Have the scorpion be his robot mode, and have his alt form be one of those big ass construction drills. Scorponok was designed poorly. Good figure? Yes. But sh*tty robot form? Well, let's just say there's a reason there's no Scorponok robot form art, no robot form in the movie, and in the description it says "he prefers his alt mode."

Starscream is WAY too small. Drastically too small. But good figure? Damn straight.

Both Megatron figures. Just for their paint job. It's the only thing holding me back from buying them.

I happen to like all my movie figures, even Blackout - but then again I don't have Swindle, Dreadwing, deluxe Brawl, or Payload. Glad I listened to you guys.

^ Hey, don't get me wrong, I like Blackout. But.... the thing's legs in alt mode are a bit testy.

Plus, Leader Blackout is where?

New Leader Megatron, where are you?

Supreme Blackout, where are you?

Cybertron Leader Prime, where are you?




I will die happy if these three figures get released. Probably won't happen though.

bonecrusher is probably the worst scaled figure of them all

Scout Strongarm soooooo boring

This thread is actually helpful for me because I can see what figures people hate. I just bought Bonecrusher but I haven't opened it yet. I personally have no problems with the wrong scales and stuff. If the figure's good, I want it.

Should I keep him?

The worst has to be...Voyager Starscream. Decent jet form, but a ugly robot design.

I'd have to say Swindle gets my vote for the worst. I don't own him, but everything about him is just bad. The protoforms are tied for a close second and third place goes to Dlx. Scorponok who's barely even a Transformer.

I'd keep him. If you are a Decepticon fan, this movie line has screwed you over thanks to the scale problems which the autobots suffer a lot less from. But as a collectable playable toy, he is very fun. I like him.

Yeah I think I will.
I read some reviews and they're mostly good.

Blackout! horrible scale size, defect in the automorph, cheap plastic that feels like its going to break in your hands, blades that come off constantly. Yeah blackout was the most disapointing one I've bought to date. I don't plan on buying any character not in the movie however so I can't judge them. I still need to pick up Brawl, Bonecrusher, and Bumblebee to complete the collection

Frenzy

Any of movie toys with camera lenises for a head.

Ratchet- he is just plain ugly. Also a very disproportioned body unlike the CGI model. The design sucks.
Blackout-poor quality
Jazz- ugly toy design. What is up with the so called "coolness" ? Looks like a plump and mini bot.

I've got most of the Deluxe movie toys and a few of the Voyagers, and I got to say I like all of them. But if I had to pick one that gets on my nerves I have to saw Brawl... I just can't stand how his shoulders just don't sink up and how his turret won't stay in place and he keeps trying to fall over because of it...

If I had to pick my favorite movie figure I think I'd be hard pressed to pick between Arcee, Baracade or Black Out.

Ratchet... don't know why just can't stand him.
I hate the tripod called Blackout too, I had to preform some major sugery to get his automorph to work properly.

I gotta put in a good word for Voyager Megs though, the ice looks much better out of the box and his paintjob is actually quite nice. He actually looks good from the front and back. Very poseable as well.

I was gonna stay out of this thread, because I'm already so negative in life, but..

Ratchet disappoints me. He's flat out blocky and ugly. He feels so chunky in your hands. He's still ugly even after I spent a few days painting him. Just can't hide the design.

Blackout is a severe pain in the ass. Transformed him today and his automorph apparently needs realigned again.

Bonecrusher. I'm just absolutely sick of that claw falling off every time I handle the toy. His rear wheels don't line up with the rest, and he's just not designed that well I think.

Here are mine:

Leader Megatron, most hideous POS I've seen EVER. And I own Supreme Cheetor. Voyager Megs owns Leader Megs on so many levels.

Swindle, this thing couldn't fail any harder even if it wanted to.

All of the Legend class figs save for BB and Barricade. The rest are made of pure suck.

This debate is up there with the existence of God/s. IMHO they both are terrible.

I don't know why the bothered making Legends. Legends is crap.

Beyond any other - Payload.

Strike 1 ) Awkward arms, just like Swindle.

Strike 2 ) Camera Lens Head - bigger and rounder (and a little more Shockwave-like) than Swindle, but just as goofy

Strike 3 ) A FOUR INCH LONG PLUNGER POKING OUT OF HIS BACK. He ends up looking like he's being sodomized by his own drive shaft.

All the one-eyed ones are lame. I don't know why they bothered making them. Should have put more effort into movie Megatron and maybe some different figures.
