Most disappointing TF purchase?

[gdmetro]

For me, it has to be ultra class powerglide from the universe line.

I got powerglide from TRU for $35 - very underwhelming. I should have stuck to my instincts to not get it.

After I opened up and transformed the figure- I really tried to like it. But I just felt ripped off.

Made me hate electronic gimmicks- don't care for them.
Transformation and alt mode is ok, but the bot mode just looks crap.
Add to the fact I don't think he fits in with the rest of the classics/universe- he's too big. No wonder these guys shelf warmed so much.

Onslaught is another one, but i got it for $25 so I feel less ripped, and the fact he looks better. Guess I dont like ultra class figs- unless they made appropriately sized characters in that size and nix the gimmicks- which isn't happening, and not enlarge random characters.

So glad I looked at the review for silverbolt- glad I didnt pick that up...

I bought that massive Cybertron Starscream at full price.

It wasn't worth it.

ROTF Rampage. A big pile of plastic crap

[Tallestblue]

ROTF Ironhide. Just...not good.

these guys, forgot most of their names, but yeah - crappy bots modes with uneven mega limbs or gimmicks that just ruins the toy, or in the case of that plane - a totally dorky looking robot you just wanna bludgeon. I know I love minicons , the guy in the front is one reason why minicons should stay small - figures wise - crappy spindly thing. Alt mode wise they're ok, but bot mode, utterly try hards!

Nothing stands out as the most, but I've found a lot of the stuff I've got this year disappointing.

This would includes Battle Blade Bumblebee, Human Alliance Bumblebee, Deluxe Ironhide, WFC Megatron, Darkmount, Huffer, Smolder, Searchlight, and Legends Rampage.

I agree with most of these toys, apart from HA Bumblebee which I don't have and Smolder (I believed he was decent looking (both robot mode and fire-vehicle mode) in comparison to Searchlight and Huffer)

.... and Smolder (I believed he was decent looking (both robot mode and fire-vehicle mode) in comparison to Searchlight and Huffer)

Yes I liked Smolder the most of the three actually, but not enough to keep so I sold mine.

I bought Smoulder for $10 at the Parramatta fair and still found him dissapointing, I mean he's not to0 bad but there's realy nothing much about him that appeals to me (I don;t have any other PCC's), compared to the rest of the toys I've picked up this year he's on the dissapointing list, the other toy to make this years list would be my Animated Shockwave (purple) who while an ok design is a floppy mess.

Of course if where going to go back a bit, then the most dissapointing TF in the last couple of years for me was ROTF Deluxe Ravage, nothing Deluxe about this toy, crappy altmode, lame gimmick which limits it's articulation. Three strikes it's out.

Rotf Mindwipe, $25 down the crapper on that one, Sky stalker is boss though.
