    Classics Voyager Optimus Prime/Magnus.
    Never really felt the mold really suited Prime, hated the forearm kibble, and thought the transformation was average, even though it was easy.

    Only kept Magnus for the City Commander Armour, and even then sold them off as I had no attachment or joy from owning the figure.

    Generations Warpath - IMO whilst it is a nice toy it doesn't really do anything more for the character than what the Universe 2.0 Legends Class figure did.

    I'd also like to second Drift.

    Cybertron Supreme Starscream.... it's only big and with lights and sound but has nothing awesome at all, the Voyager version was enough... this toy was a colossal waste of plastic along the lines of Supreme Cheetor....they both shelfwarmed anyways... but if your a kitbasher, this toy would be a must have to harvest for parts

    +1 I was so dissapointed when I got him home. For such a big toy the transformation was incredibly basic.

    Also Cybertron Primus. I was Excited to have get a Primus/Cybertron toy but when I got him home I quickly realised that I'd payed $150 fo a ball. While everything about him was cool he was still just a ball, should have waited till he came on sale.

    Masterpiece Optimus Prime. It's just a heavy, overrated thing that looks funny in both modes and is out of scale with every other Transformer.

    Transmetal 2 Cybershark. Totally did not live up to the hype. I like Generations Warpath, but he is hyped up by his rarity. People probably wouldn't be talking about him so much if he was easy to find. He's about as nice as Thunderwing really... some minor flaws, but overall a really nice toy and good homage to his G1 counterpart.

    Was there hype? If so, I'd agree, since it's an abysmal mould that swims around in circles with parts falling off, but I just assumed everyone felt that way.

    I foresee a repeated anecdote.

    I think RTS Lugnut is over-rated, most disappointing TF in ages.
