They weren't awesome because they had no articulation, moron.

Alternators (Ford Truck) Optimus Prime. Absolute garbage.
I got this as a Christmas present the other week... I don't even know what to do with it.
>>5349112
I think that person might hate you...
>>5349123
He isn't into transformers and didn't know...
I nominate Animated Shockwave. Meh vehicle mode but gat damn that robot mode is a shitshow.
>>5349131
Ah in that case that's pretty funny he managed to pick that one of all things.
>>5348667
this goddamn shitshow
the old lockdown trumps aoe lockdown in every way
but the rubbery hands on mine are disintergrating
>>5349178
I forgot about that sack of shit. I only like him a bit because i think of him as a generic cannon fodder con rather than lockdown.
>>5349112
You poor bastard.
Unite Warriors Groove. Awful bike mode, shitty arm and leg mode. And the worst of the worst, visible hands in bike mode. Shameful, Takara, absolutely shameful.
>>5348667
>Your worst transformers
but Hotshot is the best transformer...
>>5349214
This is what poorfags tell themselves. Hope you like your legends Groove and Rook.
>>5349253
Everyone likes Rook.
>>5349253
Rool is fun dude.
TFA Voyager Megatron.
Can barely pose, cannon looks retarded, turns into literally nothing. Still hate wasting money on him cuz I haven't found a sucket to buy him off me yet.
>>5349178
>>5349193
I honestly don't see what there is to hate about AoE Lockdown when he is the perfect example of inoffensive mediocrity, but then again he is far from the worst TF I've ever seen or owned, so perhaps my standards are skewed.
>>5349309
Umm, that toy is not a work of art, but it's not offensively bad in any way either, and is easily in the top five marvel transformers, for what it's worth.
>>5349264
i still cant figure out which end is the front.
>>5349323
>2015
>he doesn't know which end's the front
Used to own this monstrosity, but then I sent it to Thew.
>>5348734
Dinosaurs superior.
what are the best transformers?
>wibbly
>thin as fuck
>plastic quality is knock off grade
>those GODAWFUL fake ratchets
>slopped up paint
>35$ CAD
I can't believe this shitfest cost the same as Springer, which was what got me back into transformers after the debacle known as generations 2012
This bastard has put me off of CW, even though the CW stuff is highly praised. I just can't. As a Canadian, buying transformers right now is pure suffering and I hope to god that no other maplefag ever buys a roadbuster at retail.
>>5349535
Your mileage may vary.
>>5349112
look on youtube theres a tutorial on how to make it somewhat good all you need is another set of helicopter blades
>>5349557
Good luck finding a Scalpel without cracked leg joints.
>>5349309
My Face
Got Hybrid Style Convoy, was not entirely prepared for quite how small it really was or how horrible the truck mode is.
>>5349921
Good lord.
pretty much all the g1 stuff
i don't own them anymore though, either got broken or stolen.
>>5349921
=|
Times were tough.
>>5349949
I'm amazed at that Optimus transformation.
>>5349958
Shows even in G1 they didn't care.
>>5349958
I actually have Battletrap, i love that little guy.
>>5349990
whyyyyyyy
>>5349921
naah man, he's far from the worst.
His robot mode is like a 9/10, only marred by his slightly shite hip articulation
>>5349949
>>5349958
>>5349983
Could be worse
>>5349214
>>5350036
>any opinion I don't agree with is bait
Aww, how cute.
>>5349894
Mine doesn't have cracked leg joints.
>>5350026
Oh for sure, but he's the worst I own.
>>5350099
Lucky duck.
>>5349253
>Hope you like Rook
Pretty sure everyone does.
>>5350107
Well, I'm hoping he's going soon.
>>5349178
I wish they would repaint AoE Lockdown into Bludgeon and give him a helmet. Shit would be so cash.
Movie Preview Starscream from the 2007 Live Action movie, aka Protoform Starscream.
This thing isn't just a turd, it's turd colored with red bits to denote that it's a bloody turd. It also transforms into a turd.
The shoulders are ganked due to the shoulder design and it's pretty damn tough to transform without the waist popping off.
Would have made a good Protoform Waspinator though. Simply because of how easy it is to take apart.
>>5349309
I AM A REAL AMERICAN
FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT OF EVERYMAN
>>5349291
He is the only mainline figure for the only competent movie-verse villain. That's what makes him offensive.
If you don't care about the movies, yeah, he is not that bad.
>>5353534
I liked him as a Jhiaxus stand-in.
The Generations Jhiaxus just doesn't feel like Jhiaxus, not monstruous and G2 enough.
>>5348667
Movie Deluxe Payload is the SHITTIEST THING I'VE OWNED. He is now gone.
Worse for me, from my collection, is DOTM Nitro Bumblebee. Just a completely lazy design of toy. I seriously can't remember why I decided to spend money on this.
>>5349264
Is the Leader version good, though?
>>5349309
I owned this, but eventually got rid of it (sans shield). Clunky, but good for what it was. Pretty decent vehicle mode.
>>5349410
Still have this & it's redecos/retools (Universe Oilslick & Cybertron Runamuck). They don't ever leave their vehicle modes.
>>5349557
I owned at least three Scalpels & each one of em had cracked leg joints. Damn shame...
>>5349538
Makes me happy knowing there is someone else out there who doesn't like it.
>>5353766
>Leader Megatron
TFA Leader Megs is pretty great has decent articulation (ankle tilt) and looks good. Be wary of him randomly going off about the Allspark when his batteries die.
>>5348667
What's wrong with Hotshot?
>>5354127
His transformation back into car mode is a living hell, and the windshield parts on the car mode never line up quite right. His bot mode is pretty hella, though.
>>5354127
His shoulders hurt.
>>5353534
Didn't that one suffered from GPS?
for those who dont know what gps is,
its when the gold plastic is brittle and breaks easily
>>5355705
Show 'em the randy video.
oh god i remember the randy vid lol,
heres a link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-IKdXCqygs
>>5358321
this is still the best GPS video. Cuts out all the bullshit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcjAUN5Ssj8
I don't think I've ever actually tried transforming it.
>>5358412
Are those Death Star Shells just as awkward as they look in that photo? Because a chunky robot Darth Vader is otherwise up my alley.
>>5358620
They can be positioned out of the way. But transforming the thing is an utter pain in the ass because of them. In theory it's almost a Legends class transformation since Vader just folds in half at the pelvis, in practice lining up the shell parts is a nightmare.
It's also a bit rare of a toy to get one complete anymore, since so many parts just pop off 95% of them on eBay are missing at least one body part. But if you can get one mostly complete for $50 shipped or under(the mini figures and TIE Fighters are 100% useless to the robot) it' snot bad. It's one of the better SWTFs out there, which I know isn't saying much because most of SWTF was terrible.
As much as I'd hate to see Hasbro get any license, it'd be almost fun if they could get Nintendo and retool this into Samus.
>>5348667
>Your worst transformers
the Encore series reissues. Literal bootleg quality. Stress marks, paint that chips off so easily it makes you think they used dollar store craft paint and stickers made of the thickest paper they could use. Crome scraped and worn fresh out of the package. Joints will loosen up quickly and they can't be tightened because what used to be screws on the G1 copies got replaced by rivets. The plastic quality also feels really cheap which probably explains factory stress marks.
No, I'd wager some of the high-quality G1 KO sets you can get on eBay are probably better than the Encore releases. These things just weren't meant to be taken out of the boxes.
>>5354534
Not my copy. It's been out of the box for years and buried under other toys, but it seems to still be okay as of a couple months ago when I took it out again. Meanwhile, my Energon Sharkticon's elbow crumbled for no apparent reason.
Worst transformer in my collection?
Fucking FOC sideswipe
Is the KO G1 Shockwave any good?
I bought RotF Arcee at a convention a while back, knowing the reputation it has.
In spite of all the glaring flaws, I still kind of like her.
She had an odd, alien charm to her robot mode and her vehicle mode is spot on.
I've also made the unfortunate mistake of buying the deluxe Optimus Primal from Beast Machines who has 0 redeeming qualities at all. Piece of fucking junk.
>>5348694
Yup, same here.
>>5349557
I have them both and I love them. Even Scalpel. He's so quirky.
>>5349949
>Mistransformed Optimus
>they just kept it simple and left the wings off of Starscream and Thundercracker in bot mode

The Classics Seeker mold
Hot garbage that only 35 year old neckbeards would like
>>5360556
>"some sort of insult insinuating you're poor or homosexual" detected.
Seriously though, the Classics Seeker mold is solid. Like many deluxes from that era, it lacks at least one point of articulation that would have pushed it into greatness. In this case, it lacks thigh swivels. And of course, the blasters are oversized, thus preventing the iconic pointing forward pose.
Other than that, it's a good toy. The robot mode looks good & it has decent (thought not fantastic) articulation. Transformation's cool. And jet mode looks cool.
If you're a Geewun type, it's still the best and most complete representation of the Seekers. Which is sad, because it's been nearly 10 years.
>>5360824
You forgot the lack of bicep swivels and the almost immobile head unless they have the cone head molding.
Oh, and the fragile tail fins.
Face it, if it wasn't used for half the 84 Decepticon cast nobody would defend that garbage
>>5360833
The aesthetics are its only saving grace.
These guys look good together.
I do hope hastak would release a new version, though. In voyager size, please.
I think the deluxe size limited the toy.
In a bigger size class, we can have better articulation.
The leader class seekers aren't doing it for me.
>>5360833
Personally, I'm fine with the lack of biceps swivels. It was about on par for that era. I don't expect double jointed knees/elbows with ab crunches for TFs from that time.
The tail fins on mine are fine, perhaps you got some bum figures? But to be fair, I don't mess with mine that much these days.
It's a matter of context to me. They were not the best Transformers from that time period, but they were not the worst either. They were acceptably good with the added bonus of being the most slavishly done Seekers to this day.
>>5360846
I'd personally prefer a deluxe remake after a good movie year. Deluxes during the RotF days tended to have the full set of points of articulation.
Being deluxe would make it more affordable to get the full set. Of course, if it were made today, without a movie increasing the budget, I imagine that they'd be mighty hollow and just a tad too small.
>>5360882
Were these Fun Pub? Is Vangelus even still relevant these days? He doesn't seem to get mentioned much these days. I think he still does the podcast yes?
>>5349105
AGREED.
But this guy was worse.
>>5361175
>Vangelus even still relevant these days
He doesnt get as many views now, maybe it has something to do with his new, less funny format
seriously even emgo gets three times as many views, and that guy's fucking intolerable with his long'ass reviews
vangelus still does the podcast though, but gogdogs not there anymore, so its not as funny
>>5349538
>one of the biggest autobots ever
>built like a brickhouse in every iteration
>BIG GUNS
>Generations version is scrawny manlet who skips leg day and traded out his BIG GUNS for nerf ones
>>5361253
Yeah, GogDog was the best, Seth is pretty good too though.
Was there ever a reason for Gog leaving? Just disinterest?
>>5359236
She is the right scale as a motorcycle to look good for Figmas and other 5" ~ 6" tall figures.
>>5361211
>Awesome headmaster gimmick
>Cool bike rider despite flaws
>Non-intrusive minicon gimmick
I mean it's not the best but is a pretty decent figure, in terms of Armada quality.
>>5362594
He's got a new job or something, can't make time for the podcast
its good you like seth but i dont feel like he can carry some of the humor as well, they were great the three of them though
>>5359330
They fucking are you spacker.
>>5359322
No, it's an eagle that turns into captain america.
>>5349178
>best villain character in TF movies
>worst toy
Why is this allowed?
Generations Perceptor
Cybetron Wing Saber/Movie Wingblade (un-combined)
Cybertron Leader Megatron
DotM HA Leadfoot (Steeljaw ok tho)
>>5371151
Why you hate on batmobile megs?
I can understand wing saber, but he does have machine gun fingers
>>5371162
Optimus had a wing pack with cannons while Meg had a detachable wheel piece that's "supposed to be" a gun. never cared for vehicle modes, really. unless im packing them up
>>5358412
Pussy.
Yeah he's hard to transform but if you do it a few times back to back then it's not so bad.
I did have trouble with him too but you gotta commit.
