I agree he's a Winner. Not even a face. poor little guy

1) I definitely agree on Ratchet and Iron Hide when they first came out (G1), I mean, really, what were they thinking?

2) Sorta agree with the movie Megatron, just looks ..ehh..why I never bought it, didn't like the way he looked in robot form or jet/plane mode or whatever it is. If I'm going to fork out $40 or $50 (forgot how much it was, probably $40) for one it better look damn good in both modes, and just plain look cool.

3) Also agree with movie Starscream...again, what is up with that, his body is too big, and I mean the upper torso area, it should be like half that width. Also, plane mode, I dunno, seems like there's way too much thickness under the plane if you get what I mean, another way to describe it, is as though the plane is on top of something, lol, too much under there.

4) I just saw that 2 pack of Jetstorm and Jetfire last week and bleh..I def agree on them, is it just me or do they look sorta like power rangers or something, lol. I'll take a figure of the real Jetfire thank you very much, the tall white with red figure, I'm sure most will know what I'm talking about, he's in the Voyager class I think, the one that I've seen for around $80, lol.

5) That Transformers animated Megatron also looks kinda...meh..

6) Some of those figures that say they're from the movie but weren't in them and/or the ones based on the videogame, eh, they look horrid, most of them. Most of their bodies just look crappy and to make it worse they don't really have heads or more precisely a face, just what looks like a camera lens or something instead, it's like, wtf? Examples, Camshaft and Overcast.

7) Last on the list that I can think of or have seen lately, is that Animated Voyager Lugnut one, mainly his robot mode.

Get leader class Megatron--you might change your mind. And Lugnut is small, but pretty beastly-looking. And cartoon accurate, except for his scale.

Anyway, G1 Triggerbot Override is pretty horrid...

by **MysticKnight** » Mon Feb 02, 2009 10:17 am

Never watched any other cartoons except the G1 series, lol, so I don't even really know who Lugnut is, just don't like how he looks.

G1 Ironhide and Ratchet were ahead of their time as far as being bad TF's. Those were really bad.

G1 Ironhide & Ratchet were epically bad, but the toy molds existed long before the cartoon. Someone decided to make the toon NOT look like the toy, (probably because the toys were odd looking) so it is kind' sorta' forgivable.

Movie Starscream was designed from the ground up to suck.

Triggerbot Override? Grew up with him. Love the little guy.

Dogfight though is hidious!

Movie Battlechargers, Robot Heroes and lets not forget not cars larger than deluxes. Classics Prowl looks so wrong next to G1 Prowl.

Especially considering most modern TF jets are deluxes.

I'm not saying they're bad toys just that I'd prefer if there was a universal scale system throughout the TF toylines.

It would be really nice if there was adherence to some sort of scale amongst the TF lines, as well as within the same line. That is a big reason why I passed on Universe Galvatron. He just looks silly next to the other deluxes! He is one small tank, man!

this is why im a jet ;;)

Hahaha!! Awesome!!

So is that REALLY what Wheelie's going to turn into? Poor little guy.

I'm sorry you've been disgraced. :wink:

But I gotta say, I'm picturing some VERY funny stuff with that little guy rolling around. XD

by **Siren Prime** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 8:38 pm

That's just evil. Funny though.

You know he looks like Wall-E...
Just no treads.

I swear I can already predict myself and frineds laughing, a LOT, when he comes on screen. Poor little sucker's probably going to die during the film.

If it says on his tech specs that he's a Decepticon, why does it call him 'Autobot Wheelie" on the box title? :???:

News Credits: 3 · by **Name_Violation** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 10:32 pm

the insignia flips around i heard

by **Siren Prime** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 11:42 pm

That would make sense considering that apparently during the movie, Wheelie starts off as a Decepticon because he fears them.
Butthen he joins up with the Autobots.

by **Wheelimus Prime** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 11:45 pm

i bet when he sees jetfire the insignia just drops into an autobot shape

I'm fairly sure that's a Toy Only character. I haven't even heard any rumors about him actully appearing in the movie.

And ROTF Wheelie looks WAY worse than the original. Congradulations on makeing a crappy character crappyer.

And Wheeliemus Prime, ROTF Wheelie is a disgrace to your name? You're probly the only person on the planet who even liked the original version. No offence to you, you're intitled to your opinion, just never met anyone else who actully likes him before.

Oh and I'm voteing for all of the movie characters. All of the Beast Machines Maximals. Basically any Transformer that looks like it can't realistically TRANSFORM.

I'm allso voteing for all the Transformers suffering from Potus Manus.
