Animated Lugnut - Love it or Hate it??

Instead of hogging the Acquisition thread with the lugnut issue...
here's our poll on whether we either love it or hate it...

else there's always the option of Machine Men and Barbie Dolls :D

Hate's too strong a word. As far as the toy is concerned I do dislike it. The show character... meh. I don't really like or dislike - kinda just neutral. I find there's nothing terribly cringe-worthy nor noteworthy about the character... pretty plain and boring really.

So as far as the poll options go...
Toy = hate
Character = I like Gobot Barbie

I'm on the fence. The colours are nice but the transformation is a bit familar. The weapon gimmick is nice but when it's in hand the arms don't support it.

And is the big red circle in the middle of his face his Shockwave-like eye or is it his nose and those two smaller circles on each side of his face the eyes?

It's like the portrait of the old woman/young woman optical illusion. I keep seeing it both ways.

I voted hated it but i dont hate him or love him i was just really dissapointed with him. Some of it is the QC paint issues with him but im gonna try and colour match the paint myself to rectify that.
Other than that he's just too small compared to everyone else (just like voyager Bulkhead) i was exepcting a little bit more possibilty out of him as well and transformation was a bit simple/easy, maybe i got my expectations a bit high but he just doesnt press my buttons so to speak.

LUUURVE Ol' Luggy

I love him. He looks good, and he is an interesting design. Very playable.
Only things I didn't like were his hands and his bulkhead syndrome

The Animated Lugnut toy is a work of art. To explain Lugnut to people who only like other Transformers toys is like explaining a three dimensional object to someone who lives in a two-dimensional universe. He is a toybox homosapien amongst neanderthals. He combines fragile beauty with weight and smooth substance, together in perfect yin and yang. Lugnut's autotransformations and mace are pure love melted into a plastic mold and solidified. Like the cyan, magenta, yellow and black of the printing process, Lugnut is perfect four-colour harmony. The fact that Lugnut cannot turn his head is a necessary single flaw, as in an Islamic rug, because only Primus is perfect (but Lugnut is the next best thing).

I love Lugnut.

I'm in the love camp. :D

Me too. Great transformation. His scale is the only misgiving. My only slight fault in the figure are the toes showing on the under carriage. But apart from that he easily makes my top 3 Decepticons.

And I almost chose the last choice too!

I've never actually fiddled with one yet... :o

That will be rectified.

I lurves me the Lugnut, sure his character on the show is a little 'meh' but the figure itself is just so much damn fun. It's not hard nor does it try to trick you, but it feels right and fresh while doing it. I'm not saying that I like it because it is an easy transformation, its more intuitive than anything else, you just know how to transform him from the get go.

Larger would have been better, but scale has never been a strong suit of the transformers brand.

Colours work well together, even if they are a tithe weird for a bomber plane.

I was very surprised with this figure. Much like Bulkhead, I initially was not very keen at all and even abhorred by the colour scheme. But in the flesh its well done. Even after seeing the Atomic version repaint. The figure is solid with a graceful conversion. The hands are a little fiddly, especially when trying to put the mace into the slot as it keeps pushing the claw back to it's bomb position. With the single eye look and the purple colour scheme, it's almost a tribute to Shockwave.

I'm one of the fortunate ones to have a perfectly working cockpit.

SOLID GOLD! :D



My Lugnut is still MISB so I can't really say yay or nay but he looks good in the pictures. Only thing is I am really a scale Nazi so the bot mode is a bit small for me.

mine is misb too. I've run out of space to display stuff.
