What I mean is it might be the way it transformers or the way it looks or even something as simple as weapon it comes with. Go wild and let us all know what these figures are. For me it was the g1 Jumpstarters if you remember these figures you would pull back on them and they were supposed to transformer all by themselves but what they didn't tell you, was that if you had carpet in your house these things wouldn't work at all plus the little plastic pin would start to give out after awhile so it wouldn't stay transformered.

Movie Leader Optimus Prime. His Shoulders keep coming away from his body. It's really irritating.

And Movie Blackout. That thing can't stand! Same thing goes for Armada/Beast Wars Terrorsaur

I have an irrational hatred of G1 Outback. I just hate that little guy. I hate him so much. He is the color of sick poo.

Without a doubt, it's Payload. It can't stand because of the plunger gimmick, out of the package the head/shoulders and the grill both just fall right off, and it's a good half inch shorter than anything else in its size class (as far back as Armada). Even Classics Bumblebee is taller than Payload.

Any modern figure that doesn't come with a weapon(minus Unicron and Primus), because it's just a nusiance to have such a cool looking figure standing there with bare hands!

movie barricade. sure hes not difficult to get back into car mode but you have to get the pelvis/hips/knees/ankles all just lined up and then mess around wth the windows, not good for 6 year old kids. more annoying than fun, roll out animated who look to be far more fun than annoying!!

SWTF Darth Vader/Death Star.

Sure, he looks great in Death Star mode, but getting him there with all the panels aligned is just pure luck, not to mention a pain in the arse.

And his robot mode is...well...naff.

FAB Ironhide is pretty annoying, but I like him regardless.

It appears the Movie line is quite annoying.

However I'm sure AlT/BT Grimlock takes the cake for one of the most if not *the* most Annoying TF ever.

Followed ever so closely by R.I.D Sideburn.

The two Mustangs for the Alt/BT line are only annoying in the reverse transformation.

The Energon combiners. Great limb connectors, but they ballance for squat!

The Classics MiniCons, they just sucked.

Cybertron OverDrive(or is it Ride, I keep forgetting). She's a very disproportioned, poor standing, unesicary flip bot. Great Alt Mode though, Arcee must be very jelious....

But the all time king of annoying suck is Armada SideSwipe!

All Hail The King & His Court...

Yep, that "Sideswipe" is pretty absymal. Oh, how they soiled the name of such a classic Autobot!

I'll take it a step further and list any piece of crud TF that bastardizes its namesake. Examples: Cybertron Skywarp and Movie Swindle. The former is just so cheap, both in how it looks and how it feels, I feel embarrassed for Warpy. Swindle has absolutely nothing to do with the G1 character, so why bother? Come up with something different, you're just tarnishing a long time character.

Movie Payload ranks pretty high on the annoyance meter. As somebody else stated on this thread, he really has trouble standing and I can't get past the huge rod sticking out of his back. It is just a poorly conceptualized toy; his alt mode isn't bad, though.

There was a mention of Movie Leader Prime's shoulders and Blackout's inability to stand....I have say, have never had problems with neither.

all Beast Wars figures.

Yeah I have to say armada sideswipe set a new stander in sucking for transformers. Yet hasbro has repaint him a number of times what were they thinking. Also does anyone remember if g1 jumpstarter figures were mail away or could you buy them in the stores. Here is a link to twin twist one of the jumpstarter figures: http://www.cobraislandtoys.com/tf/1985/twintwist.html

Cybertron runamuck. I look at his pictures and i can't stand it.

which is not surprising because it was based on Armada Sideswipe.

Movie Leader Megatron.

It is unacceptable to have a transformer where by virtue of its transformation, the toy becomes damaged.

(codpiece gets stress marks as the legs rotate to go into place)

Wow I'm glad I never bought movie megatron.

by **Auto Bot** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 2:21 am

Movie Megatron is the worst ever designed TF, both in CGI and in toys.

But the king of annoying still goes to Movie Frenzy. This guy is like a fly that buzzes in you ear. Very irritating.

by **Daxmajor** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 5:20 am

I hate Titanium Soundwave. His design simply reeks of stupidity and laziness. His useless legs in particular really grind my gears.

by **Sportimus Prime** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 5:32 am

Titanium GI Joe Megatron and Soundwave suuuuuuuuck. Soundwave can't stand at all, and Megs simply falls apart.

Yeah Titanium Babywa....er....Soundwave. Thats my choice. :mrgreen:

For one that's not mentioned, Deluxe movie Brawl really pisses me off. I hate recieving a toy, only to think its broken, try and return it/replace it, and find they're all like that. I'm not fond of having to fix a toy before even doing anything with it.
