I've been slowly hunting down these PCC's and have been quite happy with them, until this guy.

Worst transformer EVER. Terrible production colours, laughable transformation,bizzare minicon pairing and assembly errors abound. Hard to imagine at this stage but I sincerely hope the next PCC I get isn't worse.

It seems no one is willing to vote in favour of this one either.
Just the Minicon alone makes this the worst PCC for me, as it stands out too much for not being translucent. I'm just glad they were both redecos in this set, so there's no reason to recommend this to others.
