Your Bottom 10!

[GoktimusPrime]

Oh I like the originals. Just the countless repaints that I hate. Just because they're repaints and it's because that they're repaints that's why we have less of the toys that we want per case

And yet you still have these repaints in your collection (remember that these lists are meant to comprise of toys only from your own collection )

I agree that the over-saturation of Bumblebees has spoiled the franchise and prevented other toys from seeing the light of day (e.g. DotM DLX Leadfoot, Soundwave & Quejack etc.), but I don't think that alone necessarily makes them terrible toys per se. I saw that HA Bumblebee w/ Backfire at Target yesterday... an utterly pointless and random looking repaint that does nothing for me. But it doesn't look like a flawed toy to me.

This is just a list based on toys i own or have owned at one point or another:

Yeah, that's fine. All Bottom 10 lists should be from people's own individual collections.

MP3 Greenscream.. Nice robot, nice jet. Nice form-changing robot. Not a Transformer, looks nothing like Starscream coz he Green!

crankcase76 made an epic comment about this toy when he came over to my place a few weeks ago; seeing MP03 on my MP shelf, he - completely innocently (as someone who's relatively new to TF collecting) - assumed that it was MP Acid Storm! That says it all, doesn't it? If you didn't know that this was meant to be Starscream, you'd guess otherwise! When I told him it was Starscream, he was shocked and apologised for the confusion, but I told him it was okay -- a perfectly understandable assumption to make considering that he's a GREEN Seeker!

Stay away from my Tfs, Gundam man!!

Macross man. MP Starscream is just a craphouse toy that seems designed more to be a transformable model/display piece than something you can actually play with. I know the same comment might be said about all Masterpieces, but Starscream takes the powder -- the frailty of the design, lack of balance and poor quality plastic used on MP03 really makes it difficult to play with this toy. Subsequent uses of the mould have used better plastics, but the inherent design makes them difficult as play toys.

Energon Grimlock and Swoop (and by default, Mega Dinobot as well ).
Oh
my
god.
What a couple of horrible toys. You'd think that copying G1 Grimlock's look and Transformation would make a nice toy. Apparently not. Out of proportion body parts, floppy and robot mode is smaller than Swoop. Oh man.
Swoop, um, yeh. Big legs for an agile flying guy. Simple transformation and his groin splits in half for no reason. His arms don't peg into his shoulders at all, despite them looking like they should and he TOWERS over Grimlock. oH it would appear he isn't a Pteranodon anymore, he has digressed into the smaller pteradactyl. Yet he still is bigger than Grimlock. Whaa?

Of course, nothing could beat them!

Oh yes, it could actually, put the two of them together and you get. Umm, I don't know. 2 Crappy robots on top of each other? Honestly, Mega Dinobot looks like it was designed by a four year old. With Barbies. That had been melted in a fire.
Whoever designed these toys should have been sacked/shot at the blueprint stage.

In fact, I hate it so much, I can't get rid of it. It's just so hideous, I must have it in my collection.

^agree.

To make matters worse, their hands aren't even compatible with the 5mm post weapon system, which was meant to be a universal feature of all Unicron Trilogy Transformers (so that they can exchange weapons and hold Mini-Cons etc.). They don't come with weapons of their own and they're not compatible with any other weapon from the UT toys.

Beast Wars TM2 Cybershark.

One of the greatest Transformers characters ever (Sky-Byte) was a recolour of one of the line's worst moulds.

This toy was also really overrated. Toy reviewers kept on raving on and on about how awesome this toy was, which hyped up my expectations - so I grabbed it as soon as I saw it... what a massive disappointment. I probably wouldn't have been so disappointed if it weren't for all the positive reviews that this toy got.

Beast Machines Nightscream.

An utter piece of $#!* that should have been downscaled at least two price points. Not even worth selling - I gave him away to my then-girlfriend's boss's son.

This toy would've been way better as a smaller carded figure.

Animated Blitzwing.

Designed so the plastic couldn't survive being transformed into tank mode, and then built even more incorrectly in the factory.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had that problem with this toy!! I later got TakaraTOMY Animated Blitzwing which is made from superior plastic and is able to transform correctly to all 3 modes (though I prefer the colours on Hasbro's).
