Your Bottom 10!

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Hmm...It's hard to think of 10, let alone put them in order.
I don't have a lot of TFs I actually dislike, so there are a few that are just 'meh' as opposed to actually bad in here. TM2 Cheetor would have made the list, but he got ditched a while back.


-Universe Tankor Octane.
Fun character, lame toy. Animated Blitzwing is also a subpar Triple-changer toy-wise, but I loved the take on the character in the show, his tank mode reminds me of the tank from Metal Slug, and the fact that his German-soldier-styled toy can pull off a Nazi salute cracks me up. Octankor

-Reissue Soundwave.
Saw him loose and cheap in store and got him along with Cybertron-mode United Soundwave. My much-loved childhood Soundwave was a little worse for wear, so why not? On the list not because he's bad - he's not, even now he's still a sweet toy - but because within a week or so of my buying him MP Soundwave was announced.

-KO Classics Ultra Magnus.
The mold is actually pretty good, but I really wish I'd known there was a KO before I bought him so I could have checked whether he was legit. As it turns out he wasn't, so he's on the list.

-DotM Laserbeak.
Got him 'cos he was really cheap and I liked the character in the movie. In fact, besides the Rosie Huntington-Whitely fan service he was the only bit of the movie I liked. Robot mode is OK if a bit hard to keep standing, but as with all Bayverse beastformers he turns into nothing and would have been better as a Robot Replica.

-Movie1 Arcee.
I scored the black version at a bargain price, but the fugly face, loose shoulders, and less-than-dynamic poseability give her a place in Odie's Bottom 10.

-United Ark Unicron.
Not a bad toy as such, just very forgettable. Transformed him once or twice, then put him in storage.

-BW Razorbeast.
Again, not a very good toy. Disappointing from the usually excellent Beast Wars line.

-Galaxy Force Nitro Convoy.
Bought to repurpose into Override, but s/he's just not a good toy. Hard to balance in robot mode with dwarf arms, made-up car-thingy vehicle-mode...Surely with the freedom of 'futuristic' alt-modes HasTak could make something that transforms into a decent robot?

- Cybertron Brushguard.
Just really not-fun. A botanist Decepticon struck me as interesting, but in the Odieverse he can stay and guard the base.

-PRiDE Airachnid.
See here for why.
