Underrated Transformers Toys Thread

[GoktimusPrime]

I quite like Snowcat; cos of the GI Joe reference.

Imma let you finish, but Animated Voyager Bulkhead is one of the greatest Transformers of all time.

My wife agrees totally.

Cybertron Red Alert was a surprisingly good toy. Although dull at first glance he looks pretty spiffy all over and has an interesting transformation that is really harmonious with both alt and robot modes.

I find that Animated Cybertron Optimus Prime gets overlooked a lot. I love the guy.

I also think that the Hulk transformer is one of the best in the series.

TF Marvel Crossovers!

Particularly:

Thor
Iron Man / War Machine

Agree. Hands down the best Animated Prime.

TF Marvel Crossovers!

I think one problem w/ crossovers is the engineering to cost ratio. They typically cost $5-10 more than other Deluxe TFs, and arguably they're not as well designed as most other Deluxe TFs. Compare your avg Crossovers Deluxe w/ your avg Classicsverse Deluxe -- then consider the cost ratio; most people would consider Crossovers to be relatively poor value for money. And I think one thing that hampers their engineering is the insistence on making the robot modes resemble the characters instead of giving them unique robot modes. It just feels really cheesy for one thing...

Anyway, that's my opinion

I always thought that Longarm (from first Transformers movie) was vastly underrated. Awesome little figure that one.
From G1 I think that Quickswitch gets overlooked a bit.
And there are quite a few really good BW figures that probably dont get the love they deserve.

I love Cybertron Longrack with the lovely reference to BW Longrack.

Voyager Animated Bulkhead, Cybertron Red Alert and Backstop were another two of my favourites that I think were overshadowed by other figures from their series. Red Alert in particular as that awesome mold was reused to make Cannonball, who was just dripping with awesomesauce.

+1 on Longarm
