Underrated Transformers Toys Thread

[SkyWarp91]

Though this thread could be subjective, I'd like to see what TF toys fellow OTCA members considered were underrated?

One that I consider as an underrated toy is the MagnaGuard/MagnaGuard Starfighter Transformer from Star Wars and though it lacks personality with its dull face, it offers great posability and you can pose him in a way where he is holding one of his rifles with both hands like a shotgun.. ..such a badass toy

Imma let you finish, but Animated Voyager Bulkhead is one of the greatest Transformers of all time.

I agree - fantastic toy. Great gimmicks, Automorph, dimensions, feel and everything locks in where it should.

This is a hard question to answer, since even the most maligned transformers have their own cheer squads (Beast Wars Injector, Action Master Thundercracker, Animated Lugnut etc.) But my favourite 1984 Autobot 'car' is Ratchet - a toy many people don't 'get'.

See, I dig both he and Ironhide as they've got an awesome Alt mode, vehicle accuracy-wise, but they also come with a little robot and a base/missile-platform, the only other who had that was Prime! - Well, initially.

For me, I'd have to say BW Optimus Minor - He's an entirely obscure enigma that has a cool little chimp Alt mode and intriguingly odd Bot mode where he is able to separate his forearms for no apparent reason, apart from faster poop flinging.

Universe 2.0 Glavatron.

I wish they had put that on the backing card, or as part of his bio.

I reckon Star Convoy.

Looks like a brick. Is a brick, but soooo much awesome base-robot-playability!

And Turd-former Optimus Prime (or the comet mode prime from the first movie). Great action figure, lots of posability and general awseomeness. Plus he has honking great toes!!


I would like to hear a positive about ROTF Ravage.

I would like to hear a positive about ROTF Ravage.

He's an extraordinarily cool figure with a near perfect, screen accurate Bot/Alt mode - Tis a pity he's basically an Actionmaster though.
(Assuming you're talking about the Deluxe figure )

[kristofferrer]

this is going to sound silly but how do i know the toy i'm thinking of is under-rated?

[tinyJazz]

Skywarp, you come up with really good discussion threads.

Can I say Cyberjets? I don't think they're popular.

CYBERJETS GALACTIC ABILITIES:

• Fun and easy to transform
• Great posability
• Available in rad colours
• Friction based launchers that work really well
• Awesome light piping
• The cutest headsculpts ever. :B

And I think I'm done. :|

He has a fun range of posability, pulls of realistic and dynamic big cat poses. Well, as long as you don't want to move the head. Looks better if you flip the hind feet upside down. And he has snapping jaws!

Bonus points: Recon Ravage looks like Voltron black lion (if you stand at a distance and squint, maybe).
