I quite liked Rippersnapper when I was a kid... the idea of a walking shark was pretty cool to me. Sinnertwin is pretty cool too, cos the whole Greek mythology thing.But you're right, Hun-Gurrr is a great toy.
But I don't mind the limbformers so much... they're just cheap carded figures anyway (although I agree that Blot is by far the worst
). I have more of an issue with expensive crap toys, like Combiner Class Devastator or Ultimate "Not-Quite-A-Mega-Pretender" Optimus Prime etc.
The Aerialbots' limbformers, as a group, are kinda crappy because they all look too similar to each other. They all have the same basic transformation scheme of pull the legs down, flip the nosecone and tail section to join at the back, pull arms out. At least the Terrorcons all look distinctly different from each other. The sameness of the Aerialbots looks the worst when they combine to form Superion -- good luck telling which limb is who. Individually speaking, the Aerialbot limbformers are nice toys, but as a group I find them disappointing due to too much uniformity in their design. Usually we see this when toys in a sub group have some main gimmick that dictates a kind of design uniformity, like Jumpstarters, Battlechargers, Throttlebots, Go-Bots/Spychangers etc. -- but there's no need for the Aerialbots to be so similar (as demonstrated by all the other Scramble gestalt teams).
Look at this picture of G1 Superion and see if you can name/identify which Aerialbot is forming which limb! I can't tell the difference, the arms and legs all look the same! In stark contrast you can tell who each of those Stunticons are on Menasor (although for some reason Wildrider (the left arm) is miscoloured red like Dead End... go Nel Yomtov's shoddy colouring!!) - but at least the Stunticons are distinctive enough that even with incorrect colouring you can tell the difference). Individually the Terrorcon limbs might be disappointing, but at least as a group they're distinct from each other. Even in this mediocre animation and obscured by flames image you can tell which limb is who.
lol, so true.And the way the shield forms the front is lame IMO.
On that note, G1 Scourge is the crappiest of the G1 Decepticon jets. Did anyone else honestly think he was a hovercraft (or some kind of boat) when they first saw this toy??? It wasn't until I saw Transformers The Movie that I realised, "That's a jet?!?"
I don't recognise those Transformers.Are they Transformers or somebody's kitbash/custom or unlicensed 3rd party toys?
