    The BW combiners, man, I combined them both once and just never took em apart again, and yeah, a bunch of alternators, tracks' legs piss me off and Prowl's shoulders. I think Titaniums from what I have so far seem too easy, like they're mostly jump starters just throwin some legs sidways and bending over and suddenly it's alt moded

    Oh man, I totally forgot about those guys too and like you I barely touch them. Maybe 4-5 times the max? Their combinations were pretty complex and a pain in the neck for me.

    For the Car Brothers, Prowl was easy for me but as someone already said, Sideburn is a nightmare. He's one of the only TFs I've ever put down in mid transformation and returned to at a later date. When I returned to him whatever problem I was having easily righted itself, but I couldn't for the life of me figure it out that first time.

    I only bought the Predacon combiners. I didnt find the actual combination difficult, and the lobster and the cicada were pretty easy. But I'll agree that the beetle guy is pretty irritating

    - Alt Skids - Can't get it back into vehicle mode. Granted, I haven't tried that hard since I don't like the figure.
    - U-Nemesis Prime - Can't get it back into beast mode. Of course, the robot mode is the only good form, so it's not a big issue.
    - GF Soundwave/Soundblaster - I can get it into vehicle mode, but not without significant trouble.
    - Alt Grimlock and Wheeljack - Not especially hard transformations, but with the doors, arms and undercarriage of the vehicle all tending to come off.
    - RiD Sideburn - Not impossible, but too annoying to be worth the trouble.

    Grimlock was the only Alt I had to use instructions for, and even the instructions didn't help.

    The only TF i've had problems with are RID Sideburn and BW/RID TM2 Cybershark/ Sky-byte. damn those 2, their not even hard to do now but i still hate transformering them and still avoid them. other then that nothings been a real pain or problem

    Took me long to figure out Sideburn (I don't look at instructions), but now I am OK with him.

    The one I have problem is Neo Deadend. He's lying in a box half transformed and I can't bring myself to try again.

    For some reason cybertron crosswise is a pain in the rear.

    Only ones that give me any trouble ever are a few alts like Skids and Grimlock.

    RID Megs/Galvatron is a little compliated depending on which mode you change it too.

    Mach Kick and a few BWN figures like the Bazooka, the prehistoric squid with a shell thing, and other dinos.

    Otherwise I'm fine.

    Any of the alternators. I swear it takes an engineering degree to figure them out.

    I don't have much of a problem with any of these anymore, but the ones that were tricky to get down at first were:

    RiD Sideburn
    RiD Skybyte
    Dinobots Slapper
    Universe Nemesis Prime
    Cybertron Crossswise
    Cybertron Soundwave
    Alternators Grimlock
    Alternators Wheeljack
    Alternators Skids (mainly because I've transformed it twice in the year I've had it, and still can't remember certain parts of the transformation. I need to swallow my pride and get the instruction sheet out.

    I found that Bluestreak went together a lot easier then Smokescreen; for some reason, 'Streak just seems to fit together better. The other alts are easy enough, except for Skids; I got him at Botcon without any instructions, and couldn't remember what he looked like. Aksmth had to show me a couple of pointers. Got some very bizarre alternate robot modes out of him though.
