It can't be wheelie because every one knows what a piece of s*** he is. It can be anyone else it doesn't matter why just speak up and say why. Because every one of these thread there are about 100 post about wheelie and nobody else. I would love to hear about some other figure from that era.

For me, it would have to be Ironhide and Ratchet. They had windshields for heads. Just a real disappointment.

Ironhide was my first Transformer (and I wouldn't get Blitzwing until the following Christmas). I never really minded the windshield thing until I finally started watching the cartoon. (Which is probably why my original Ironhide's frame is so worn out -- from trying to fix the problem.)

For me, the worst ones were those who despite how "mobile" their cartoon personas were (or weren't), their toy form was a motionless block. Groove and Blot are good examples. I also never liked cool-looking characters with craptacular profiles, such as Monsterbot Repugnus and G2's Space Case.

I forgot about the Throttlebots. They suck even more. Nor hands, or legs. They just fold up, and the arms and head fold out. Goldbug was one of them. You know, the one where you pull back, and the car goes forward on its own.

I kinda liked Goldbug. My biggest peev was Ultra Magnus' arms- they would always come undone and just flop around; great looking autobot though.

All the second wave pretenders in the Bludgeon group.

The robots inside the shells could have have been Happy Meal toys.

I completely agree, they have no likeness to the show >___<

Did they ever wonder, "this looks nothing like our version!"

The Throttlebots couldn't compare with the Battlechargers. Unlike the Jumpstarters they preceded, Runamuck and Runabout (as in they were "runa-ing-outta-names") never stood up fully after a transformation and were worse to pose if they didn't "drive" themselves up into the upright position!

I can't bash on Ratchet and Ironhide. They were my first two Transformers, as well. But man, I wish they'd matched their cartoon counterparts a bit better. And I actually don't drink so much of the Hater-aid on Wheelie's toy. I kinda liked it. There's a lot worse stuff out there.

As much as I loved the Rumble/Frenzy mold when I was a kid, they have one pretty signficant problem. When that spring went(or when one of the kids you were playing with decided to play "Decapitate the Decepticon" and lost it), the figure was nigh useless. But I can't say it was the worst. Hmmm...

Actually, someone's probably gonna gripe me out, but the worst one? Here's a hint... there were six of them. Yeah, the Seekers are horrible. You know why? It's not that they're real horrible looking(though they're not great, either), but the amount of stuff you could lose off those guys was staggering. Everyone had that "lost seeker", didn't they? The one whose wings and guns and fists and everything were long lost, leaving only a lonely fuselage?

For the 'Bots, I'd have to go with Rodimus Prime, as many fond memories as I have of that toy. No articulation to speak off, the old man face, etc... it's not that he's the worst TF ever made, but compared to other leaders, he was weak. That, and Hot Rod... the pre-evolution version... was BETTER. That's just not right at all.

Duocon's. I mean what the f#ck are they? A Tank that the turret points up and Jet with only a head. Or a truck that stands up with a helocoptor for a head. Come on, I know they were gimmix but as far as toys goes they are pretty bad.

It has to be the Sparkabots and the Firecons. Simplistic transformations, stupid gimmicks and almost no poseability.

We have a winner. Although, the Sparkabots could move their arms, and at least you knew what their alt modes were. I mean, what the hell was Cindersaur meant to be?

Are you kidding me? The Firecons were awesome!! I spent countless hours trying to light stuff on fire with them.

The throttlebots were so much worse. Then again, atleast they made brief cartoon appearances which give them some validity.

Really can't give the award to Ironhide and Ratchet since they were made before the concept art for the cartoon was even drawn. So, they get a free pass along with all of series 1.

Nope, sorry, I think Wheelie is still the clar winner for me. Oh, damn, Wheelie is against the rules.

In that case I take the Duocons. WTF was is up with those?

True, what could kids want more than robots and fire? I got it pre-christmas ad they were amazing (as long as they lasted) to play with in the dark..
