Most disappointing TF purchase?

[Vector Prime]

Oddly enough, its one of my fave molds. I guess its cos he actually looks like how I would imagine Silverbolt. And the fact he is easier to transform, means playing with him is awesome... unlike say Galvatron, who I still need the instructions to work him out...

Galvatron is frustrating and fiddly to transform, but I wouldn't put him in the same league as Silverbolt... I actually feel a sense of accomplishment (as opposed to disappointment) when I transform Galvatron.

Despite everyone's dislike for Galvatron, I think he's an awesome figure and yes, it should have been a Voyager (so it was less fiddly) but he still rates a lot higher than some of the other Universe releases in my book.

I like Silverbolt too. Yeah sure, he's a backpackformer, but essentially so was G1 Silverbolt which is what this toy is trying to imitate. For a backpackformer I think it works pretty well. Guess he's not everyone's Cube of Energon.

Just because he was a backformer in G1 doesn't make it okay 25 years later when he's meant to be a modern day interpretation of a classic character - where's the marvels of present day engineering?

He probably had the lowest R&D costs of all the Universe figures since someone in the marketing department must have figured that the G1 fanboys would have bought him en masse and still be satisfied with it since he 'embodied' the G1 character, both figuratively and literally.

This. Times 100.

Yay! Someone that agrees that Silverbolt is one of the suckiest toys!

Silverbolt is a multichanger if you are creative.

So far this year my most disappointing purchase has been RTS Lugnut (but everyone else here seems to love the toy or are going along with the joke, I'm not sure), followed by RTS G2 Prime.

Lol@multichanger - I'm not that imaginative.

As for Lugnut - I think he's great (seriously) but I agree with G2 Prime.... he sucks monumentally - see my review and you'll know how much I love it.
