Worst Toy Ever

[i_amtrunks]

ultimate bumblebee... he should have been called "lump of non posable car parts with retarded song snipets built in"

Pretty good nomination there, pretty woeful transformer, and the price they asked for it was ridiculous too.

Same could be said for most of the Movie toys though.

Technically you are wrong because they did release transforming veritech toys for Robotech - the Veritech Hovertank and Veritech Alpha Fighter, though these were from the Southern Cross and Mospeada parts of Robotech respectively rather than Macross part. Sucks to be anal doesn't it?

Not really. It was my own fault for not specifying the Macross Saga; I'd forgotten that the Hovertanks and fighters in the Southern Cross and New Generation (not MOSPEADA; that was the original animé's name but it was called "New Generation" when bastardisedadapted for Robotech) sagas were also called "Veritechs." It's 'cos I'm not a fan of Robotech, although I do like Macross (which I'm actually watching right now as I'm typing this) and I've seen Genesis Climber MOSPEADA and some of Super Dimensional Cavalry Southern Cross. But considering that the discussion was in the context of Robotech I should have been more careful in using the term "Veritech."

(i.e.: I couldn't get BotCon or Gentei Dirge so I settled for Universe Dirge, and of course he comes w/ Roadbuster).

If you didn't want Roadbuster, I can take him off your hands?

Oh and thanks heaps Snaketales for the info with the black tab, it makes the figure slightly more bearable Now I need to figure out a new hated figure haha

[Jetfire]

I have a loose TreadBolt and a MISB Classics Jetfire.. I do like this mold. But Onslaught is cool, I like his colours and S.W.A.T shield.

I'm surprised your favourite Classics/Universe toy isn't Jetfire. He's pretty awesome. I don't like any of the Universe toys that are just repaints of pre-existing moulds like Blaster. The only ones I have are Dirge and Roadbuster which I got out of "necessity" rather than "choice" (i.e.: I couldn't get BotCon or Gentei Dirge so I settled for Universe Dirge, and of course he comes w/ Roadbuster).


Suicide Attack Laserbeak.

That's the problem with these worst of threads, everyones worst toy is usualy someones favourte. Or vice versa.

Take the afforementioned Classics Jetfire. Loved by all, except me! While I wouldn't call it one of my worst TF's It's definately not a favourte of mine. Sure it's a tribute but the blend of F14/ Valkyrie and square nosed cartoon Jetfire just looks half arsed to me. Unaerodynamic and bulky I only like to display that toy in bot mode.

Worst toy in general- Stretch Armstrong (just popped into my head...)

Worst Transformer in my opinion- uuuummmm -

cant think now , will reveal later...

[Seraphim Prime]

worst Transformer toy of all time...

I'd probably say Supreme Cheetor, can't speak from personal experience as I didn't follow Beast Machines (didn't get into it, and probably would have left TFs were it not for RiD) but that toy failed on so many levels.

Probably characterised by the fact that I once went into one of the Toys R Us near where I live looking for Energon figures, and there were still one or two Supreme Cheetors sitting on the bottom shelf.

I just browsed through everyone's nominations and G1 Broadside seems to have copped the most nominations more than any other!

Here's what I think of what people have nominated so far...

+ RPMs: If we're to include non-action figures, then yes, I would agree with this.
+ G1 Jetfire: disagree.
+ Cassie/Wolf: This was my nomination, so I absolutely think this is the worst TF ever!
+ G1 dirge: disagree.
+ entire Armada: disagree. There were some pretty crappy toys in Armada (I'm looking at you, Scavenger), but there were some pretty good ones too (e.g.: Air Defence Team Mini-Cons, Unicron etc.).
+ Combiner Class Devastator: Considering the original RRP for this toy... then yes, I would agree with this one. It's by far the worst ROTF toy.
+ Titanium Series "G.I. Joe" Megatron: It's the worst of the Titanium Series Transformers, and the Ti Series TFs are pretty scheissenhausen.
+ Refute: Worst of the Mini-Cons, but not the worst TF ever.
+ Universe Galvatron: Disagree. I don't think he's a great toy, but I don't think he's awful either.
+ CYB Runamuck: Okay, if you're gonna hate this base mould then you really should be nominating Armada Sideswipe. If you're buying Runamuck then you have to accept the flaws that come with the Sideswipe mould. So I can't really see what's wrong with this toy other than the fact that it's a retool/repaint of a crap mould in the first place. i.e.: what makes this toy any better or worse than Sideswipe? If anything, I think it looks better than Sideswipe. Can't stand the name though, but apparently Hasbro couldn't secure the rights for Runabout. Bleh.
+ G1 Broadside: Awww, poor Broadside. I can see how he would be the worst of the G1 Triple Changers... but he's not the worst G1 toy ever; he has better articulation than a Battlecharger or Throttlebot, isn't made from gold plastic and while his alt modes may be grossly out of scale with each other, at least they're clearly identifiable as what they're intended to be unlike some of the 1988 Pretenders. So I disagree with this one.
+ Ultimate Battle Optimus Prime (Special Edition): Again, what makes this toy worse than the original UB Optimus Prime? If anything the colours are an improvement and comes in a nicer box.
+ Ultimate Battle Megatron (Special Edition): see above.
+ Universe Silverbolt: I like the toy, but I hate the Universe colours (hence why I got the USA Edition one )
+ Injector: He is indeed the worst Fuzor ever. Worst Beast Wars Transformer ever? I dunno... at least he has a robot mode (even if it is fugly) unlike the Mutant Beasts. That was a really WEIRD move from Hasbro.
+ Alternators (especially Jazz): While I think that Alternators suck compared to Binaltechs, I don't think they're the worst Transformers ever. And the Jazz mould is one I quite like. My least favourite is the Ravage XK mould.
+ Alternators Optimus/Nemesis Prime. Disagree. I don't think it's great, but I hate Ravage more.
+ Alternators Ravage (XK): My own nomination so obviously I'm in agreement with it.
+ Animated Ratchet: Disagree. Not a great toy, but not the worst TF ever.
+ G1 Wheelie: Haha, I agree that this is a dreadfully AWFUL toy. As I said before it's the worst of the G1 mini-bots.
+ Unicron: Wha?! No way!!
+ Ultimate Bumblebee: I've never seen this toy outside of its box IRL and I have interest too either. So I'm gonna agree.
+ Cybertron Soundwave/Universe Blaster: Hmmm... disagree.
+ Supreme Cheetor: Definitely the worst Beast Machines Transformer. Nightscream sucks hard too. As does Megatron. And Silverbolt... at least Cheetor looks like a cheetah... Silverbolt does NOT look like a condor. Although Silverbolt didn't cost you $100 either! And Silverbolt must've sold cos I had trouble finding him! Cheetor was a Supreme Shelfwarmer.

Whenever there is a japanese version and there is a US version, I hate the US version. They are always worse quality, less accurate paint!

Oh the US classic rodimus's chest does not have autobot symbol!!! why why why is so hard to paint a symbol on the chest??
