oh god definitely Rid Ultra Magnus what a craptastic figure he was. He was Impossible to transform and the backs of his legs were paper thin and snapped in half one day! also the Rid Trainbots it's not that they were bad molds but they just broke way too easily Midnight Express' leg broke with in 3 weeks, and Rapid Run's arm panel broke a few months later. Rail spike is the only one I have left. I always regretted getting Rid Grimlock he was a pain in the ass to transform and looks very awkward in robot mode, why Hasbro ever thought to name this character is beyond me. Finally Car Robots Fire Convoy although he looks very cool with all his armor on I can't figure out how to get his "trailer" section back together.

last night i got a swindle.

i found a deluxe 08 bumblebee at the toys r us (very suprised, i almost resorted to ebay for it) and i got a cliffjumper (to show off the camaro mode) with a sale, i got a deluxe for free. i didnt know much about the other ones (all allspark deluxes) so i just grabbed swindle.

sooooo not worth it.

i mean, its bad when i say it wasn't worth it not even for being FREE!!

its so bad i wanna just trash it

Worst 2007 figures:

Swindle

Dreadwing (at least Overcast has better colors)

Deluxe Brawl (didn't even buy him he looks so bad)

Leader or Voyager Megs (he transforms into a pile of misshapen limbs with wings)

Movie Camshaft.I bought him and swindle thinking it would be cool to have both of them but when i realized how crappy the mold is I traded the other one for a stockade the next morning.

SWTF Boba Fett / Slave-I. Slave-I mode looks good, but the robot mode is very top heavy and perched on skinny legs with loose hip joints and limited movement, so there's very few standing poses he can stay in. Also, his arms fall off a lot during transfotrmation

Movie Swindle. Car mode looks OK, but the robot mod is... pitiful

I think that's common to a lot of SW Transformers. I haven't found a single one that can stay in one piece or can actually be posed in a semi cool way. #-o

The Clone Pilot / Arc-170 and Commander Cody / Battle Tank Thingy ones are great. Pilot guy has a great kneeling pose, and Cody has quite a few cool "action hero" poses.

I think I may have popped arms off while I was transforming him, but nowhere near as bad as Fett.

That also seems to be a habit I have lately, anyway; Bumblebee '08 keeps losing his shoulder guards, Alt Wheeljack loses arms and doors (and I think at one point, his head), and I've managed to pop feet, a head and some miscellaneous flaps off the 20th Anni. Prime I picked up at the weekend.

Fett just seems to make that really, really easy to do

A KO SLAG!!! :-x

the WORST ever!! :-x

Good thing I exiled him to planet Junk in exhange for G1 MIRAGE and Scout CROSSHAIRS! :lol:

Hmmm...I see your point.. :-?

His arms and shoulders seem to have difficulty in attachin to their main body slots esp when you try to pose the figure. :shock:

Nevertheless, he's my first TF figure ever! Talk about sentimental value! :lol:

No crap! Don't see the original post so I don't know if DPs being sarcastic, but if not just throw them on eBay and double your money, dude! Unless that's where you bought them...in that case PM me. I'll trade ya for them!

Movie scout crosshairs figure. It sucks. It dosent stand up good and the windows that fold out to help him stand are all loose. His weapon is almast as big as him so its hard for him to stand when his axe is shifting his body forward. I know it was only about 7 bucks, But thats seven bucks i could have put toward another figure or put toward gas money. I did get it to stand with the axe but its still not that good of a figure. if the joint where a little more stiff then it wouldnt be that bad.

Thanks for the very frank review.. :-?

Two words:
MOVIE IRONHIDE.

By the gods, that piece of plastic has to be the biggest waste I've ever seen. I'm ashamed that I actually bought it. It's just problems with it... I should have gotten Thundercracker instead of Ironhide.

I have him and I dont think hes that bad a figure pain in the ass to get back into the TopKick mode but not that bad a figure

I totally love Movie Ironhide.
Even though I never play with Classics Jetfire I can't say I regret buying any TFs. Even though I don't like Jetfire, when I get my display shelves up he will look great on display in one of the two good poses he can do.

News Credits: 273 · by **Delicon** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 5:14 pm

That does remind me, Titanium Jetfire is a total duck of a figure.

by **Cap'n_falcon222** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 7:51 pm

I regret buying Movie brawl (deluxe) because he looked good in package, but in robot mode his arms never attached to the body like they should.
