- Movie Leader Megs AND Voyager Megs.
- Ultimate BB
- Movie Legends
- Cybertron Soundwave
- Cyb. Quickmix
- Cyb. Dark Crumplezone
- Cyb. GF Vector Prime.
- Cyb. Excellion

I have to have 1 of each for my MISB movie collection, but owning 2 of each can be pretty painful.

I can't give my Cybertron stuff away. Okay, I could ... but I can't seem to trade them to save my life.

I did trade my loose UBB, though.

Cyb Override. Decent looking alt mode, but once I got it home and messed with it, man what a waste. That semi-automated transformation was lame at best, and at worst it went off all by itself. Finally unloaded the thing recently, and not looking back.

If I had paid $10 for the movie Scorponok, I would have been disappointed with the purchase. His legs are way too short; they don't even touch the ground! And his robot mode is kinda lame; it's basically just a scorpion standing on it's tail.

But, I got him in the Blackout/Scorponok two-pack, which I only bought for Blackout because I couldn't find him on his own anywhere, so I really only paid like $7 for Scorponok.

Ultimate Bumblebee.

Besides being totally not fun and completely useless, it is too big to really play with. And it advertises like 20 sounds/phrases and it delivers roughly crap. Lame.

It really gets to me that so many people who hate Leader Megs found and bought one while I want one badly and can not and have not found one anywhere and I am actually willing to forgive its faults. No fair. You like it, It's no where. You hate it, it's everywhere.

I regret buying the movie line. If I hadn't bought all the movie characters I would still have enough money to buy a Victory Saber :sad:

but now I don't. Oh, why couldn't I have been one of the haters? Why did I have to listen to reason and accept the awesome designs?

by **Elvaan** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 7:44 pm

The only ones I can think of are:

Scavenger
Cyclonus
Hot Shot

All Armada.

I don't really hate any transformer I bought, but there's one I hate to see in robot mode: Cybertron Runamuck. As good as the car mode and its paintjob is, the robot mode cryes to kill him.

movie deluxe scorponok

by **rob_charb** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 2:51 am

The only ones I regret getting are the Movie Scout repaints of Clocker and that jeep guy, Longarm? Longhaul? I forgot his name.

Also, I regret getting CryoScourge. Fortunately, he was on sale when I got him

any of the combiners,
I dislike them very much.

even the minicon ones.

they just fall apart easily.

in the animated film when rumble and frenzy
begin to cause tremors after Devastator said something
about SW's charisma

basically the toys fall apart just as easily in real life.

the deluxe one(s) or the leader one?

either way, the 3 of them rock.

Leader Cyb Prime. Great articulation and bulid quality but I just never really liked his design, transformation and alt-mode. Just not my cup of tea, ended up being $90 of disappointment.

Oh! and now I remember another, I was quite disappointed with Movie Ironhide. Minor faults in the design really brought it down for me IMO.

ouch, $90 - no wonder you're disappointed - that's kinda like near-MP pricing there.

but seriously, he's one of the best OPs out there.

:MAX:

Down here in Aus $90-100 is Leader price :-(

MP price is $140+ :sad:

One online store is asking 165 for US MP SS. ridiculous.

And I agree he's one of the best out there by far just never got into the design.

The small jeep guy? He's Strongarm...

I thought he's a nice figure, but oh well... :-?

Any of the energon combiners with exception of bruticas maximus.

TF figures I wish I hadn’t purchased? Hmmm, I’m gonna have to say not a single one. I love all my Transformers.

That big ass cheetor from the Beast Machines line.

I dunno what I was thinking.....

I didn't actually purchase Cybertron Skywarp/Thundercracker as it was given as a gift, but the figure was crap. It caused lots of problems and broke twice, once on the first figure and once on the exchanged replacement.

Armada Wave 1.... I really didn't like any of the armada toys, other than Unicron but this was before we even knew he was coming. I was obsessed at the time however and had to have every TF that came out. I bought all of Wave 1 and every toy was just one disappointment after the other. Horrible detail, no articulation, and them mini-con features were really lame... the way they made it sounded like you had to used certain specific minicons and each toy would have like 100's of features you wouldn't even know aobut for years to come!

Also energon Shockblast. I really liked how he looked in the pictures i was just like "Woah cool shockwave is back", but then when I got him I was like "wow this toy sucks, you can't even bend his arm at all, and his head sticks out in both of his alt modes. What a piece o crap".

I'm a lot more picky on what i buy now. I still need to get movie megatron and I'm done with the movie line. But for the most part its been Alternators, classics and any line thats an ode to G1. BTW I just picked up Masterpiece starscream, and he might just be my favorite TF to date!

Titanium War Within Thundercracker. I got him because of all the hype surrounding the figure, but ... well, one arm just won't stay up because of the weight the massive shoulder puts on it. It's more "lesser quality Cybertron Starscream" than a War Within Thundercracker (as it's based off a simplification of the former's design and not the latter so much). The vehicle mode lacks a rear end (which bugs me). And I was inspired to grab the eHobby RM seekers to make an "all star" Seeker set, so he isn't even in my "A" display.

Regret buying both MP and reish G1 Megs simply because I paid too much for them thanks to my wanton disgregard for money. Shoulda waited. They became cheaper.

RM G1 Prime. If I had waited THAT money could have been better spent on Hybrid Prime (which I still don't own).

Cybertron's RID Prime / Magnus "reissue". The figures themselves aren't bad at all, I just have nowhere to put them and so they're "hiding" in my "B" display.

Some of the Knockoffs I have (oversized Skyboom Shield & Requiem blaster X2) simply because I have no place to display them and few bots that can even hold them very well.

I would say you're a lucky guy...

They say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Sometimes it really depends on your mindset if you think you got a great fig or not. :-?

There are actually two figures. 1. Optimus Prime knockoff on ebay for $275. I was assured it was original after numerous e-mails. I got screwed! Yippie! 2. Titanium series soundwave. They might as well have painted me a purple limp brick because he weighed as much and would'nt stand up! :BANG_HEAD:
