Mine and many others had their figures' large wings break off at the swivel joints that attach the wings to the figure's body. If the plastic had been made of a stronger and longer-lasting durability, it'd be much better in the long run.Black Hat wrote:Yes, this is a list I can get behind!

For my money, Transmetal Waspinator is a superb insect toy. The robot mode is perhaps a bit weak but that wasp mode, oh man! Also he had a vehicle mode that actually looked kinda cool.
It's a shame, too. That toy finally got a cool little story three years ago as Waspscream.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:To me, Transmetal Waspinator is a figure that would be cooler than it is if it wasn't so fragile.

Yeah, thats why my memories of that toy are not the best and why I did not seek him out again once I got back into collecting (and why he was not a finalist for the list).

Kickback holds up phenomenally well. I think its because unlike many early G1 toys, their alt modes were not based on licensed vehicles and thus did not have to sacrifice the robot mode to get an accurate looking vehicle mode. So Kickback (and Shrapnel) end up having excellent robot mode proportions. The only thing they lack is modern day articulation, but you cant notice that on a shelf![]()
And I like your perception on that cybertronian tommy gunn (too bad I already made a top 5 weapons list).
