I guess the question is pretty self explantory. I thinking man over years there must of been pretty butt ugly figures that have come out during the diffirent transformer lines and then thought hey wouldn't be cool to start topic were people could list and talk about these figures kind like a public service so people don't go out and buy these figures.

The ugliest I've seen...I'd say the original Cyclonus. His Horns/Crown or whatever it is is just too big for his head.
The design doesn't do him justice. I wish they'd make a more accurate one.

I'm quite possibly going to get mauled for this, but I'm going to have to say G1 Megatron. That crotch trigger is just disturbing. Possibly what's more disturbing, however, is that I still want one. Yeah, I have issues.
Of course, I'm a newbie to TF collecting, so there are undoubtedly loads of ugly Transformers that I've never seen.

Well, since you said ugly, and not crappy or stupid, I'll go with about any movie TF. All their mugs are ugly. Not a criticism, Just ugly from an aesthetics perspective. Like giant metal insect faces.
Oh and the correct spelling is ugliest, not uglyest.

Armada Sidswipe
Always Armada Sideswipe.
And G1 Megs is one of those toys you have to see in the flesh before you can truly judge him. Personally I think he's one of the highlights of my collection (he should be, he was more expensive than anything else ive bought, MPs included).

I agree about g1 megs. I passed on him even when I was a kid. A buddy of mine had him and I thought he was the ugliest robot I'd ever seen. I was really disappointed because his cartoon self was so cool. G1 Goldbug is also really ugly.

I thought it was obvious?
(Powerdashers. G1 mail away figures that were left-overs from another Japanese robo line of the time.)

All Generation 1 toys (with 1 or 2 exceptionms) are ugly as sin. They are unposeable bricks with way off proportions.

You want a crotch-trigger or you want a G1 Megatron?
The more I see of other recent lines, the more I think the movie toys are ugly. The Wal-Mart in Litchfield, IL had a Classics Cliffjumper and Ramjet, got both of them and think they're great. I also got an Alt Rumble last weekend and have a 20th Ann. Prime and a Menasor/black Rodimus coming, and they look great from the pictures. The movie stuff looks like ugly butt in comparison (then again, I like more fantasy-sci-fi stuff as opposed to realistic alternate modes, and more smooth edges on my robot forms)

QFT.
At least most of G1 had realistic, i.e. more low-key colors for their vehicles, unlike a few bright neon colored and translucent series that I will not mention...

I am well aware that at the time they were high tech toys, but by todays standards they're craptacular
