If I break an inexpensive toy, I can go buy another one. I'm not buying another MP Megatron!!

Buying another MP Megatron can get to be harder than transforming him lol

All toys have their time, If I buy an exspensive toy I'd rather Transform it a lot and enjoy it, even it leads to eventual breakage, than not transform it at all.

Although I don't actualy own MP Megatron, so I can't comment.

I often find some of my old G1's are in fact become my hardest TF's to transform, due to age making them old and stiff.

The rotf leader class toys have been troublesome for me

Binaltech Grimlock. I transformed him to robot after getting him and thats how he has stayed for three years

Mmm... ditto. When this thread appeared, that toy came to mind as having the most awfully convoluted transformation ever.

The easiest - ROTF RPMs?

Hardest(S): MP-05, Ultimate Bumblebee, Alternators (esp Dodge Prime is a pain) Movie Leader Figures...

Easiest(S): Activator Bumblebee And the Legends Figures... :)

I really disliked transforming the Classics deluxe-sized Galvatron.

Hardest would be TFTM Concept 'Bee, if only for the fact that his hood automorph got stuck in robot mode and stayed that way for about three months. Aside from him, RotF Sideswipe and Universe Triceradon are also what I think of as hard. Sideswipe because he's got a lot of stuff to pull out and stick in, and Triceradon because the bits of dinosaur go wonky in beast mode if you don't put his robot bits just the right way.

Easiest would be RotF Jetfire, or indeed most of the Legends. During the HSC, I fiddled with them as I revised, managing to transform them without even looking at them for the most part.

Dude, "TFTM" stands for "Transformers The Movie," whereas I think you're referring to the Transformers movie. :)

I personally really like TF moofie Deluxe Bumblebee (both 70s and Concept). I think they're both a good balance of being complex enough to provide some challenge, but not too challenging that you end up spending an hour or so transforming them and yelling every swear word known to you (or throwing the toy across the room as I did when I first tried to transform Big Convoy (-_-)). I find them to be nice fun toys. :) My only real gripe with Concept Bumblebee are the shoulder panels which pop off too easily.

Easiest: Well, any one-step transformation Transformers such as Activators, Bumper Battlers, Cyber Slammers, Flipchangers, Time Warrior etc. Jumpstarters and Battlechargers in theory :p

ditto.

gosh, MP-05, 1.5hours later and I still haven't figured it out.... :(
(I never peek at instructions when transforming stuff for the first time, that includes for MP... little pet peeve of mine)
