Welcome to the nuthouse.

I don't have Swindle myself, but there's no way he's more irritating to transform than Ironhide.

His legs aren't too bad. It's his chest/stomach gun thing that really gets me. I can never get it to lock up right and it drives me insane. My OCD goes nuts.

Even Ironhide is easy compared to the hell that is Leader Brawl.

Sometime of another, somebody is going to warn you that Seibertron contains nuts. And by 'nuts' we mean cashews and we hope your allergic.

Swindle irks me, his hip cannon has already broken, and I really cannot be bothered trying to fix it, if it going to break just as easily again in the future.

His legs don't bother me much, as they are easy as heck to get right, but I do agree with his feet. Just because he is very light, from a combination of the thin and weak plastic, and the overall design, does not mean he does not need decent sized feet to allow him to have large variation of poses.

Hell, even I found him annoying, but now, he's quite easy. ^_^

Wouldn't even bother. Shipping costs alone make it not worth the time and effort. He has gone to the very bottom of my "I have no space to display you" tub.

Longarm's transformation irks the hell out of me, mainly because I'm not quite sure how the hell I got him into robot mode. All I know is the hood just sprang out when I opened the doors of it and bam, 75% to being a robot.

Deluxe Brawl has the shoulder tab problem we all know and love, and Classics Grimlock has a similar "tabs not aligned" problem.

To think, I skipped over Classics Rodimus to get Grimlock.

Abso-f'n-lutely.

It's not even so much that it is difficult to Transform him, what I absolutely hate is the near certainty of putting stress marks on the cod-piece because there isn't enough tolerance to move the legs without causing friction.

To compound the issue, the transformation for the leg and lower body section is a series of poorly thought out steps. If those little rubber tabs on his hips were not there, the problem would be magnitudes easier to resolve.
