Most disappointing TF purchase?

[GoktimusPrime]

I'd have to say Robot Masters Prime. I quite like him but he wasn't worth what I paid.

I think for 1480JPY ($19) it's an okay toy... but by no means fantastic. I guess it was Takara's attempt at making a no-frills version of Masterpiece Convoy for kids (remember that MPs in Japan are for Ages 15+).

Mail order Overdrive, why didnt i choose Downshift? Because i was a kid and kids love Ferraris...... Well they did in the 80s anyway

That's interesting, cos as a kid I got Downshift and wished I had Overdrive! Grass is always greener on the other side.

When I think Dinobot I think powerful martial warrior. This guy is proportioned like a quasimodo and while he has decent articulation and perfect colours he doesn't quite pull off any nice poses. Generally I can tolerate this on other toys because i'm after their alt mode (cool car/jet/etc) but with Dinobot I was after the robot warrior.

Poseability-wise Classics Dinobot works well enough for me.



Although one of the shoulders and the dino arms pop out too easily in robot mode under excessive force (which happens a lot during playtime )

Also his sword looks ridiculous

I think the sword is a neat tribute to Pretender Grimlock's weapon. *shrug*
