Transforming

[GoktimusPrime]

Hardest: Masterpiece Megatron; he is a royal pain in the <expletive>.
Easiest: Well, any one-step transformation Transformers such as Activators, Bumper Battlers, Cyber Slammers, Flipchangers, Time Warrior etc. Jumpstarters and Battlechargers in theory

Hardest for me would have been the Darth Vader Death Star, took me over 45 min to get it looking round. The first time i tried i could'nt do it so gave up

I'd say one pain in the ass one is Ulitmate bumblebee

[Lordy]

Hardest has got to be ROTF Leader Jetfire.

Easiest? Probably one of the Throttlebots

Masterpiece Megs for sure. It's so hard ive never fully transformed him. I tried and gave up out of fear of breaking something.

Agreed, he was a pain, I transformed him once, took me 1 1/2 hours, then back to robot mode. He will stay that way the rest of his life.
MP Grim is hard as well, I haven't even tried. My bro-in-law did, but he will stay robot mode as well.
The Jets are fickle as well, but not as hard IMO.

And for a FAB, Frenzy is a pain to get back into Alt mode.

As for an easy ones, my Battle Chargers are easy, I just have to let got and they transform And the Duocons

MP Megs is the hardest, especially for the first time because theres a lot of non-intuitive transformation detail. However he fits together very nicely in the end.

MP seekers however, at least my hasbro version, is a bitch to get everything lined up correctly even when you have the hang of it.

Easiest? an RPM

I agree! but for me Trans-scanning Optimus Prime was just harder.

I Dont have any MP bots so i can compare to Megatron.

For me the most easy would be any legends class figure!

True, but I am afraid of breaking him, just like Megs, the instructions were pretty difficult to follow, it did not explain that part of Megs (cant remember which) was "pegged in" and had to pull it in a certain way to release it. It may have in the writing but I can't read Japanese

Yeah, now that you mention it that I remember gamblor916 initially found his MP Grimlock a bit hard to transform. He'd brought it over to my place and I just started transforming it according to the instructions... it hadn't actually occured to me at the time that the instructions were in a language that most other people (in Australia) can't read. Sounds weird, but for me I just saw a toy, saw the instructions, read the instructions, and transformed it accordingly. It wasn't until gamblor pointed it out to me that I became consciously aware that these instructions aren't as easy to follow if you only have to rely on the illustrations alone. When I was collecting Binaltech I'd often be talking to dirge about the latest BT and he'd talk about how difficult a certain part of the transformation was, and sometimes I'd say, "I worked it out okay," and he'd point out to me, "That's because you can read Japanese!"

It's because when I read the instructions I'm not consciously thinking to myself, "I'm reading in Japanese!" I just think, "I'm reading instructions." Just as I'm sure you're not consciously thinking to yourself right now, "Wow, I'm reading a post in English!"; it's just something you do but you're not necessarily consciously aware of what language it is you're reading per se.

I find Hasbro's textless instructions for some Deluxe Class Transformers hard enough to understand! In fact, I had so much trouble with ROTF Leader Optimus Prime and Jetfire that I resorted to finding video reviews on YouTube to help me figure out how to transform them properly!
