i just picked him up, his arms bug the hell out of me, i like both his bot and tank modes, ut id prefer to show him in robot, but its simply impossible due to the pathetic connection of his arms to his body

Armada Scavenger
Classics Starscream, not a patch on Robotmasters SS
Movie Scorponok
Any Alternators as they look out of place with the G1 cars
G1 Combiners, too slaggin' small. Thank Primus for the oversized KO Brutiuses G1&2 and Superion that I got.
Armada Prime (large), love the deluxe with Overrun

How can you regret buying them just because they don't go with G1? They look fantastic in their own display!

Come on, you know that only a certain number of posts around here can make sense. Like that whole diatribe about MP Prime being crap because the vehicle interior wasn't as detailed as that of the Alternators. That makes great sense, seeing as I only like transforming robot toys that have realistic and detailed parts that I never see, such as their interiors. Anyway, why G1 and Alternator cars would be of relevant scale, that's a mystery.

Haha, different strokes for different folks -- Jetfire is one of my favorites, front and center on my desk. As a figure, he's not the greatest (the backpack keeps falling off), but I love the way he looks.

I'm pretty much regret-free in the movie and Cybertron lines, but there are a few in Energon and Armada. Oddly enough, I kind of like Energon Ironhide in bot mode.

Just received "Cybertron Starscream" in the mail off eBay. Well, it showed up and it's the friggin' legend mini fig! Paid 26 bucks for it! :-x

I was under the impression I was getting the "real" figure... There was no pic and the seller didn't respond when I asked which version it was. I thought it was too good a deal to pass up assuming it was the real thing, though. As it turns out, I got ripped off. Guess as they say, if it's too good to be true... Looking into my options to return now as it wasn't advertised as a legend or mini figure, but if I end up stuck with the 26 dollar mini...definitely wish I didn't purchase!

Just wish I had looked further into the actual figure sooner, though. If I had, I don't think I would have bothered either way. The supreme (or even voyager) is big, but he doesn't appear to be very articulated and his transformation looks rather boring. If I'm not mistaken, the mini-version actually has a quite similar transformation to the supreme... How messed up is that?

Oh, and I wasn't the only one screwed! One guy already posted negative feedback about getting shafted expecting real figures. I don't know if it was the same guy, but one person paid over 60 bucks for a LeoBreaker figure believing it was the real deal! 60+ for a legend fig! :shock:

Guess I should be happy if I'm SOL only having paid about 10-15 over the going rate for the crap I got...

The only thing I regret is missing out on most Cybertron and All classics.

I cannot make up my mind about Payload. His plastic is cheap and pieces fall off, plus that god awful post sticking out his back, but from the front his bot mode looks pretty good. I love the monocle look for the drones. Bot mode looks good except for his skeleton hands which are a bit lame.

RID Nemesis Prime. While I think the figure is GREAT and the truck mode is fantastic, I was told that it was MISB but it was not. The trailer had marks on one side and the hose inside was creased and a bit sticky as rubber gets over time exposed to dust and dirt. I do not regret getting him, but I was let down a bit compared to my excitement from anticipation.

I did get Leader Megs Movie but now purchased the Premium Megs, however I do not regret the first purchase of the figure because I will just sell it.

I only have a few that I regret buying.
Classics Rodimus, really only because a piece broke off and his chest no longer stays attached if I try to transform him so I keep him in robot mode.
Cybertron Thrust, I ended up getting him in a 2-pack at Wal-mart though so I tech. didn't purchase him.
The tow truck Transformer from the movie because he couldn't let go of his weapon, luckily I was able to return that one before it was too late.
Movie Dreadwing.
That's all I can think of for now. There is probably a few others but I'd have to look in storage where I think I have more of my TFs are.

man i have a few movie figures and i cannot see what the big love up off BB is, his toy is pretty shocking to be honest.

Deluxe Brawl. God he was crap. Thank God I got the leader Class Brawl

by **thedistinctroom** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 10:06 pm

Ah, most of the Movie line was a bad purchase for me. Animated also. But the worst of all... the knock-off figures I purchased while running through various bargin shops like BigLots!..... Bad quality robots that smelled kinda toxic and broke easily. Yep.
