HFTD Rescue Ratchet. Not really worth the price. Despite the lack of screen accuracy, the Voyager version looks better.

Cybertron Lugnutz. He's got a great vehicle mode, but there's much room for improvement on the bot mode.

ROTF Soundwave. Don't even need to explain this one.

[Omegatron10]

Funnily I just today purchased a Botcon Scourge complete with all accessories for under £40 including packaging.

However i have this awful feeling that i am going to hate this toy for some unknown reason I have looked at the toy gallery and he looks decent enough but a dark feeling of dread is upon me.

Has anyone actually got this figure is it any good or did i waste my money?

[munkimus prime]

WFC Bumblebee, His robot mode looks pretty good and his alt' mode is nice but its Transforming the guy that killed this figure for me.

[SlyTF1]

Animated Samurai Prowl - Nothing connects well. Side car even couldn't connect to the bike and after I forced it in, I made a stress mark. Hip ball joints are so loose. Kept fixing them but still. End up selling him.

ROTF Mindwipe - A good figure and I know many people like him, but for some reason I don't know what, I just don't like him. Kept him for couple days to see if I would change my mind but no. Later sealed it back and returned to store.

I love both of those! My samurai Prowl fits perfectly, Mindwipe is OK, but not bad at all.

I hate Classics Onslaught. I hate all of the Classics line (2.0) IDK, it's just something about all of them that I hate. Especially Prowl. That's the worst damn TF I've ever gotten in my life!

I don't have him but I have the Sweeps set and I think they are good figures they are the same mold as Botcon Scorge.


I got ROTF Mixmaster and I didn't like him his transformation was a pain to do

[Omegatron10]

I really do hope i like it, if it is any good i may get the sweeps as well. It even has all of its accessories, biocard and everything.

Last year I got the G2 Clench figure, i loved the coloration, transformation to a truck but I absolutely hated the robot mode with its nasty looking head.

[DJLazer]

omg i thouhgt that the generations cybertronian optimus prime will be good but it isnt the figure had good articulation but da transformation was complex for his size.

[Magna Minor]

WFC Bumblebee is the only one I've ever REALLY been disappointed with. Some of the Energon and Armada ones I wasn't totally in to, but this Bumblebee's transformation is simply painful. He makes Classics Galvatron a whole lot more fun by comparison.

[DJLazer]

also ROTF Soundwave that toy just made me cry!

[Shadowstream]

Masterpiece Optimus prime!
Okay, not really. I've never owned one to be disappointed with to begin with, but I have to admit that over the years since his initial release I can't look at him and think he's any good at all. He just doesn't look right for some reason.

also ROTF Soundwave that toy just made me cry!

Yes.

Yes.

I can understand that, he is kinda blocky and not as streamlined as some of the later Masterpiece releases.

But damn, once you have him in hand, it's a world of difference .

I said I never owned one... doesn't mean I haven't had the pleasure of handling one, and as far as I recall the difference was ignorable.

I was never really into any of the masterpiece figures anyway, since they're all too expensive and too big to keep anywhere in my displays. I'd say the only one I regret not getting though would be the American Skywarp.

[Stockade]

So far, i would say Banziatron, i bought thinking he would be cool and better looking than Bludgeon and i bought the head robots upgrade for bludgeon to make him look different in their own right and thinking Banziatron would grow on me, but he didnt and ended up having QC issue with his left leg popping out of joint and he went back.

The Fallen "Give your face" version which i bought and was really happy with and even better than the green version and the Burning version and i really like the blue coloring, the ball jointed head w/ battle mask and new hands w/ battle staff, but again hasbro famous QC issue made me returned him and haven't found another since.

And the 3rd would have to be hasbro/henkie Galvatron which i recently bought the Takara version thinking QC would be abit better, boy i was wrong, but i have the complete Henkie line for classic Transformers.

[fenrir72]

The only thing wrong I can see from masterpiece Convoy 01 first edition circa 2004 is how his frickin' paint easily chips off. It's like too thin a layer. Aside from that, the engineering applications done to him is simply outstanding.

THS-02, great robot form and accessories but sucky vehicle mode.

[Amelie]

G1 Star Sabre. I bought him based off reviews other members had put up about him. I really can't express how much I dislike this Gundam-wannabe. I sold him a few months later.

Armada Overload. He's pretty boring, really and actually has less play value than G1 Magnus.

Howa bout Cybertronian cliiffjumper?Its better than wfc bumblebee

[Omegatron10]

Is the new Unicron any good??

[sancho's revenge]

HFTD BB prime.

[Down_Shift]

ROTF Soundwave is the first thing that comes to mind.

ROTF Evac (what ever the deluxe mould was. I think it's Tail Whip now. Awful)

ROTF Sideways - tiny feet...

ROTF Breakdown. Soooooo let down by this figure. Such high hopes only to be brutally let down.

Animated Waspinator. Lame

[Omegatron10]

Animated Waspinator. Lame

I hated the animated waspinator i saw it on dispaly and thought it was good then bought it and it was crap so sold it on EBay and made £5 profit.

Another one i had was the armada Unicron I hated the toy when i got him as his missile refused to go back in.

But know I love the toy just never use his missile as it never goes back in you.

[SN95 Cobra R]

Generations Scourge! Found it and I hate it more than Obama. PM if you want to trade!

Really why?

I think the white and blue makes him look like a good guy. I just have an issue with white on that guy. His arms are like popeye and his shoulders move around a lot. He's much shorter than I like as well. Weapon storage is nice though.

[The Arc]

I'm just gonna come out and say it.

Almost all of the movie figures( all three movies).There are some exceptions

Something about the way that their heads,bodys,alt modes look.Not my cup of tea.If anyone is looking for a specific figure hmu!

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

ROTF Jetfire. I had seen a few pictures of it online and bought it...

Robot mode is meh, nothing overtly wrong with it. Transformation to jet is an exercise in frustration and popping panels. Get one clipped into place and two more pop out of alignment. Jet mode is a **** joke. Almost the entirety of the robot is hanging off the bottom. Are you kidding me?!

You have to mistransform it for the armor to not hinder ROTF Prime's legs. It's bulky and just doesn't look good. Beyond a disappointment, here.
