I feel that maybe that bad first grey prototype pic gave him a bad rep.
As for most disappointing Transformers, it's hard to say, I generally know what to expect from the figures I order. (And skip the ones that would let me down.)
* I guess AD31 Optimus Prime -- that backpack is terrible. I knew about it beforehand, but it still sucks and maybe in retrospect was an unnecessary purchase.
* I got MP-11 Starscream only in 2017, and after stuff like Ladder Magic, swappable faces, less kibble and so on, he felt outdated. Add to that the issues with the locking. I had thought about returning him, but then I'd have a huge gap in my humble Decepticon cast. He very quickly grew on me. Despite its shortcomings, I actually do like it now.
* And the fact that the Decepticon Targetmasters were done as Headmasters. I got them because I figured they wouldn't redo such obscure characters a second time and overall they're cool toys. But it's still disappointing to have to remove their heads for transformation.

I’m with ya, Densh. We’ve wanted CHUG Dinobots for YEARS, and what should have been as big a deal as Devastator (I know you don’t care for him, but you can’t deny he was an event of a toy release) ended up being Grimlock featuring scrawny dino-babies.
They're not scrawny, I don't get how people see them as such.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:And Slag, Sludge, Snarl, and Swoop also have significant added articulation in dino mode. Snarl's forelegs aren't any more articulated, but still.
ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Nemesis Maximo wrote:I’ll admit that Volcanicus is cool, but the dinobors should be barbaric.
Why? These are the G1 Dinobots, not the Animated ones. They have as much barbaric look as the G1s did, no more and no less
The G1 toys for reference.

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Well then Nemesis Maximo, maybe you should be looking to lines that aren't Neo G1 at their core. And hey, your Unite Wars 'Structies are basically G1 With Knees so how come you're not disappointed in them? Besides, Grimlock got in on the crazy reinvention with his original Classics toy, and if you want a bizarre G1-Bayformer hybrid (the look most T30 toys had) Grimlock there's the FoC toy.
As a G1 fan, I'm happy for the shift back to G1-faithful updates of G1 characters.

We’ve seen plenty of this from his other designs that omit the gimmicks such as overlord where overlord straight up had the power masters in him.
He’s not always told the gimmick, just hired to make a new modernized character.
This is what I was on about.
Ironhidensh wrote:I'm always amazed at the lack of love for MP Tracks. Yeah, he is one of the weakest post MP-10 molds, but its still a MP.
ScottyP wrote:I usually agree with these to some extent but I think these are all poor choices. Maybe Galvatron belongs here. Tracks is also a good toy and I'll repeat here what I said on the podcast a while back - not liking the backpack is 90% likely due to transforming it wrong
GreenGald wrote:I'd say that a DIShororable #6 would have to go to PotP Starscream. The mold itself was deeply flawed before the revision, it also just didnt feel like a starscream. Even the combiner wars leader starscream i.m.o was just decent. Im really hoping this new siege one will be better.![]()

Bucky wrote:Another good list. It’s always nice to see these. I get where most of this list is coming from, but my personal disappointments are different. I think that’s why I like the comments on these lists so much. We’re all part of the same community of collectors, but we’re all divided into these little sub factions, in a way, in terms of what we look for in a toy, what works, or doesn’t work for us, what disappoints us, what’s refreshing, and ultimately what makes or breaks a toy. So I think this list’s subject is very interesting. There’s a lot of different perspectives.

That robot armor mode is so bad I keep him in alt mode always.

All I can say is I think POTP Predaking is good and I am honest. He has a better mix of stability and poseability than any combiner I have ever dealt with, including 3p.

Which Optimus is that?
Nemesis Primal wrote:BATTLEMASTER IIC wrote:I was most disappointed by FOC Bruticus. That was combiner execution gone horribly wrong. Fortunately Hasbro demonstrated that they learned from that in Combiner Wars!
Seconded.
I would also add SS VW Bee somewhere, as much as I love his robot mode, because transforming him is an aggravating ordeal every time and his vehicle mode won't tab together/stay tabbed together.

beastwarsbrah wrote:Tlk leader dragonstorm is my biggest disappointment. He has stress marks on the heads and wings and just feels like he will break if I move him around to much. I transformed him a few times when I first got him but he's been sitting in dragon mode ever since.

oooo... yeah!
Airachnid.
Prime toys are great.
beautiful
elegant.
Shes one of the best bad guys since Bludgeon
lets give her the worst bot mode figure EVER.

be careful
i have returned mine TWICE.
first one dragon head came off
then the second did the same
with a different head!
