I bought it since I am a completest for the new line this year, but I have to put my vote for the most god awful transformer of the group:

POWER UP VT6

It's so bad it almost looks like a knock off!

Interested to know what is your ugly ducking vote for this year?

by **Ericus Prime** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 1:52 pm

'77 Bumblebee, no doubt about it.

Yeah, Power Up is pretty fugly. He gets my vote.

I think Swindle and his "navel of doom" was the worst movie style figure.

I'll agree with you, power up! I never got the figure cus hes ugly.... just ugly

Don't own him, but Dreadwing and his scrawny constipation-waist get my vote. Yikes. If I were him I'd be GLAD I could only look in the mirror with one eye.

I didnt buy deluxe brawl or 77 bumbles, but I'd have to say Jazz of the ones i did buy (mostly all of htem, minus game characters). Had so much potential, and they half-a$$ed him.

by **Unicron Singularity** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 2:10 pm

lol a m8 of mine got Swindle and Dreadwing... and they apparently got busted pretty quickly,especially Dreadwing.

so on behalf of my friend:

Swindle & Dreadwing defo gets our votes

by **lanzajr26** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 2:10 pm

Voyager Megratron is the worst in my book.

by **upther** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 2:13 pm

It saddens me to see so much Dreadwing hatred since he is clearly my favorite of the movie toys I have.

My vote goes for the bridge troll known as Bonecrusher.

by **Fred2012** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 2:32 pm

umm... hmm, um, well, huh....

...

oh, um, no, um...

deluxe brawl, the arms just get on my nerves!!! :-x

by **Preda-Rob** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 2:50 pm

I've got all of the actual movie toys so I'm only gonna give my opinions on them:
Leader: Prime and Megs
Voyager: Blackout, Starscream, Ratchet and Ironhide
Deluxe: 74 Bumblebee, 08 Bumblebee, Jazz, Barricade, Scorponok, Brawl, Bonecrusher.

Worst 3:
Brawl: Shoulder issues and badly designed, feels sloppy.
Blackout: Terrible automorph and too damn small.
Jazz: The hands and weapon basically.

To be honest no major problems with the autobots as a whole. I've issues with the decepticons as a group due to scale. This means that alt mode wise the autobots look much better. Megatron could have been in the top three worst for his paint job but I like the actual figure.

Same problems as everyone really.

by **The Time Traveller** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 3:13 pm

Bone Crusher, why the hell wasn't it released as a voyager? Now he's as small as Bumblebee, that makes no sense.

They should do a Leader Starscream too, and maybe redo Bumblebee and Jazz so their Sizes make sense.

Does "Empty peg" count? :sad:

Otherwise, Ironhide. He's permanently slouched over because of the way his waist transforms, his gun gimmick is inconvenient and subtracts from the fun factor (seriously, wy not let it fire when they're apart?), and his chest just gets in the way all over the place.

by **Versa** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 4:18 pm

I do have to put a bad word in for Payload which I recently got yesterday...

Ok first of all when I opened him the chest part that pops out with the spring loaded hidden claw (which sticks out about 300 feet from his back, jk, but it is kida far) just came off! The glue was barely on and it popped out.

Anyway I go to transform it and then another thing... the head piece was out of place! Not even glued in! So that's something i'll have to fix too. And then one of his hands popped out of place kinda easily, but I put it back and was fine.

Anyway for the pure fact that this toy didn't even stay together when I transformed it I put that on my sh^t list I'm afraid.

by **Rijie** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 4:41 pm

Agreed that Power-up is just fugly. But his automorph is kind of cool.

Worst of the line:

'74 Bumblebee---Yeah I know the kids love him. I don't.
Jazz---Nice attempt, but the arms stink.
Ironhide---I just don't like him.

Obvious complaints:

Brawl's shoulders. Simple hooking shoulder-pegs would have made this toy perfect.

Blackout, Brawl, and Bonecrusher are way too small.

by **Enigma_Dragons** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 4:54 pm

The automorph gimmick. I hate stuff like that. I wanna do all the transformering myself and not ahve to worry about the gimmick breaking.. (I really hate that one older Prime that has the trailer that transforms it's self..)
