Who? Will? I felt this one was both objective and accurate, he crowd-sourced most of the list entries, and backed them up, as opposed to the other 'worst' lists out there by other people. It's an innately subjective list topic either way, but I felt it generated some good, lighthearted conversation

Oh wow, forgot I'm a week behind the curve. I was talking about that article Will posted that someone else wrote. I agreed with Will's list, found it interesting and made my case for why Airachnid should be worst

The post should have stated ............"Compared to the other awesome Binaltechs" As in the other Binaltechs despite being hamstrung by the paint chipping, transformed from real vehicles into more than decent robot forms. The Optimus/Ginrai/KissPlayer mold is doesn't look proportional if anything at all.

I totally agree! I absolutely HATE that turd. And if the list was larger, he's be in it for sure/ Compared to the other binaltechs, this toy's transformation lacks complexity and the proportions are just aweful. I hate how the legs are just the back of the truck, again, without any interesting transformation, the new detail was what was under all along and you just split the legs and lift them by 1/4 inch. Really lackluster. And I hate those damn shoulder collumns, they are useless and detach super easily.
Easily the worst Binaltech/Alternators toy.

I can't believe no-one has mentioned this absolute stinker: Energon Prowl
Check out the difference between the artwork and the actual toy!
And why is he a racing car?

If they were going to be that lazy they could have at least used the DotM mold since Bee had basically gone back to his old design. But noooo, they used the AoE mold instead!
Speaking of Bumblebee, I think the assorted jumbo-size Bumblebee toys are kinda rubbish (even those that have technically good designs) just because of being jumbo toys of the little yellow guy. But I hold a special ire for DotM Leader-class Bumblebee. In my opinion, he is the absolute worst of the bunch just for existing. He's oversize, and he stole a Leader-class spot that should have gone to Megatron. And has accuracy faults on top of it. What a miserable waste of plastic.

Ah but to be fair, it was an attempt by Hasbro to make more money as they know bee sells well to kids so giving them another different sized bee, they thought: "we'll be quids in with this one!"
At the time, they didn't know how it woukd really play out but as a business, they have to try and make the most money.

You are defenitely in the tiny minority to not like one of the best deluxe ever, all lines combined.

While I'm at it, I'd nominate most of the current year Cyberverse "deluxes" for this thread.

Well, it isn't just the shelfwarming that I'm mad about. It was that they gave a Leader-class slot to Bumblebee instead of to Megatron, who is A. one of the main villains and B. Needed the size a hell of a lot more. And "cool-looking bad guy" is a pretty big selling point for the kiddies too.
And Hasbro should have known how it would play out. Past big Bumblebees were not exactly stellar sellers either. Yes, his character appeals to kids, but since one of his appeal points is being on the smaller side ("Little. Yellow. Special. Kids love him," as was said of the archetype), it tends to put people off of bigger toys of him. Especially when they're too big to really go with anything (too-big toys in general tend to shelfwarm - look what happened with Supreme-class Starscream, he didn't start shifting until Screamer became a giant in-show and even then..). Hasbro should have learned their lesson about making too-big toys of smaller yellow characters all the way back with Night Attack Cheetor. But they forgot.
