All I can say is, thank Primus for Masterpiece Soundwave. Though, I had the Classics reissue before that (and that reissue is currently in the custody of my oldest nephew).

Though back when we were kids, I did break my cousin's Soundwave by accident, because as it turned out, Ratbat was just ever-so-slightly too tight for Soundwave's original door, and trying to free him resulted in that damage. I did make it up to him eventually, by getting him the Takara Transformers Collection reissue as a college graduation gift.

Good man. Or if your avatar is any indication(which it very well might not be), good woman. That's a classy move on your part.

Man I can't even imagine how happy your friend was when you gave him it.


Good on you man that's a great thing to do.

Airachnid should have been #1. That toy is the worst I own, and she is the definition of bad. I agree with a fair amount of your list though Will, so I applaud our agreements.

No offense, but you probably don't own an armada sideswipe

I do not, and based on everything else, I don't wanna or ever admit to it either if I would

Ha!

Being totally fair though, it has a dam solid and sexy vehicle mode and he's good for a laugh, but that's it

I have to nominate this set:

Two awful Transformers for the price of, well, just a little cheaper than two Deluxes. The only real redeeming factor is Tailwhip fits really nicely with Smolder and Legends Barricade.

kindly enumerate which of the 1984 was garbage?

Which one

You know which one

At least the legends class one had the full team, and each had individual bot mode, for legends figures, they accomplished quite a bit, I'll cut them slack for that

This one! How the f#ck but I already know the answer, Hb/Takara wouldn't want to gamble on an individual transforming bot in their "voyager(?) class but willing to do so on a legion? Because it was a pile of turd in the first place! Jeez! Who the f#ck green lighted that monstrosity!

I actually agree with Ironhidensh - Armada Scavenger is worse than Sideswipe. I've owned both and out of the pair - I still have Sideswipe. He's usually the Armada toy I'm most likely to have a fiddle with every now and then. That awful gimmick with the bike totally wrecked the figure, but I still find the easy transformation fun.

Scavenger is vastly underrated, and if anyone here is dissatisfied with theirs, they can feel free to send it to me. (And Treadbolt is the same thing in better colors, so I'll gladly take those too.)

What's this toy got going for it? Trasformation is fairly unique (particularly in the legs), it's got one of the few vehicle modes (outside of the Human Alliance figures) designed to accommodate an actual driver, there's rubber treads (functional ones, unlike on RotF Demolishor or Rampage), and that stompy gimmick? I actually think that's pretty fun.

I know being on Scavenger's side is a bit quixotic, but I'd really like this particular windmill to die.

Damn solid, good for throwing at people!

The blunt force trauma type weapon turdukin would either be MP-01, no need to throw.

Yeah but that costs more!

I disagree with this whole list.

I love all these toys.

I find a way to have fun with every Transformer.

Edit: Present me needs to slap past me for this post

One man's garbage is TT's cash cow in the form of MP series

The aesthetics alone on the movie toys make them garbage for the most part. But to answer you, No, I did not play with them, I'm an adult I don't play with toys, I collect them.

I did transform them once or twice each, and believe me, that was MORE than enough for the movie lines to solidify themselves as the WORST TFs of all time, right up there with Beast Machines.

Deadput wrote:And that's the exact same thing as playing with them.

No actually it isn't.

Deadput wrote:No matter what fancy term you use your still playing with toys and there's nothing wrong with it adults are just bigger older children one of my best friend's used to say.

And if any of you actually read what I said, I never said there was anything wrong with it, I merely pointed out the fact, MOST adults do not and neither do I.

Deadput wrote:It's like someone saying it's too late to eat cereal or too cold to eat ice cream it's just a ridiculous limitation people set I'm not going to let my age stop me from getting my money's worth from my toys.

Good for you, I never said I had an issue with it. The issue over that was created by you guys here.

Deadput wrote:Doesn't mean we have to be immature about it however you my friend are being immature on this board with your harsh words please remember there are children on this site two and there are other humans too your not anymore privileged then the rest of us.

Nope, I'm actually being exceptionally rational and mature in what I say, the problem is that all of you don't like it.

None of you can handle that someone doesn't agree with you and instead of simply go, well he said they were garbage and children play with toys, let's harass the crap out of him over it because we don't like that answer.

The fact you all chose to take what I (some random person on the Internet) said too personal is an issue YOU GUYS have, it isn't my problem.

I said it before and I meant it, I'm not here to make friends, I have friends already, I am just commenting on a topic I thought was interesting, the fact none of you like what I have to say doesn't bother me in the least. If you don't like what someone says, here's a piece of advice, simply ignore it and move on.

Enjoy your day, and don't let people you don't know rattle your cage.

Did you have to pick that dead horse up deadput?

Darth Shadow@ to be completely fair all that was asked of you in the beginning was to explain why you didn't like the movie line so much. Things just snowballed from there.

I would be interested in seeing what you would rate the worst to be, if you could only pick one mold.

Darthshadow wrote:If people want to act like kids and play with toys, fine, it doesn't bother me, but the basic facts are, MOST adults do not.

Deadput wrote:Nice stereotyping I'm glad you speak for the rest of us adults but seriously you represent yourself not anyone else.

I didn't say I speak for the rest of adults, but don't delude yourself into think that I'm wrong, because I'm not. The fact is, most adults don't play with toys.

Darthshadow wrote:I like Transformers as much, (or more likely MORE) than you guys, chances are I'm also much older than you are as well. I don't play with them, but it doesn't mean I don't enjoy looking at them or collecting them.

Deadput wrote:Are you pulling the true fan card?

You just did that?

No, I never said anything about true fans anywhere, but I've yet to meet someone who likes TFs as much as I do, and I've met thousands of fans, and I'm usually older than all of them. Your experiences in life may be very different from mine, but it doesn't make mine less true.

Deadput wrote:And you claim your older then the rest of us based on what premise and regardless age hardly has to do with being part of a fandom that collects CHILDREN'S TOYS however we can choose to be mature about it which your failing at.

This is just you intentionally being antagonistic, whatever... Grow up.

Darthshadow wrote:The really offensive part here, is that you all have this stupid need to have everything explained to you, even when it doesn't matter.

Deadput wrote:We do when all your saying is that the movie toys are crap because you say so and we ask you why and then you turn it into an argument.

Also to quote a ridiculous line of yours "If that offends you, I apologize, but that's your problem, not mine."

Actually it wasn't me who turned this into an argument. The little Nancy's who got offended I said only children play with toys are the ones who started the argument. No one batted an eye at the statement of me calling the movie toys garbage.

Deadput wrote:So I'm going to say that right back at ya because you think that's a good thing to say good day sir but I'll go back and "play" with my toys and forget about this senseless argument on the internet.

Good, glad to hear it, but if you truly meant that, you never would have posted this reply I am responding to.

No, it wasn't that which started it.

But I digress, ALL OF THEM are garbage aside from a half dozen or so.

I liked Human Alliance Bumblebee, I liked the First Movie Leader Prime. I think ROTF Leader Prime is almost as good as the first movie Prime. I think the other Human Alliance toys are ok.

That's it.

I think every other toy is just terrible. They Michael Bay influenced garbage with far too much kibble and horrendous looks. They take WAY too long to change from one form to another.

There's a reason Hasbro simplified everything, kids were frustrated by the Movie line's crappy over complexity.

Right, over complexity and aesthetics that's completely fine.

Although I still think prime airarachnid takes the cake with her deluxe bringing shame on anything near it.

If you want REAL antagonistic behavior, go over there. You'll see, it's pure madness.

Oh Airaracnid is a piece of crap. If it had a bug like head I'd think it was a movie toy.

I was about to ask the "why" significance but you explained it on time (thy're that loopy over there?)
