The most interesting to me are the ones where you can sort of stop motion it happening as if it were real life. Studio Series Starscream (and I suppose the DOTM Deluxe before that) are good examples - from a parked F22 you can see the robot mode basically stand up as it transforms.


The worst ones are either all of the CW deluxe Aerialbot limbs, or the recent TLK/SS car transformations where the car shell just sort of ends up as a cape or on the back, with limited real kibble on the front - thinking of you SS Lockdown, TLK Cogman, and TLK/SS Drift. Anything really that amounts of a folded up robot hiding under a vehicle shaped shell or backpack really turns me off - stuff like Power of the Primes Starscream, WFC Starscream, and Universe 2.0 Silverbolt. Anything where you could plausibly entirely detach the vehicle shell and you'd end up with an entire folded up robot left over.
