    Everyone is right, Prowl's trafficlightchuks are pretty stupid. But hey, not as bad as G.I. Joe Fridge's Football-mace.

    MP Grimlock's apron & little tea set tray thing. Even by "oh let's drop one of the most obscure G1 references ever!" standards, it's just ridiculous.

    And of course seconded on Animated Prowl's street light, and the Roddy/Cyclonus 2-pack Matrix.

    In Primes chest it IS designed to fit this way. If you want to hang it from a chain, cool, its multi purpose design allows this too. In fact, a chain came with the "New Years Speical" Prime just for this. Doesn't change the fact that it was designed to fit inside a G1 Optimus Prime chest this way.

    Well thanks to this thread I now know what to do with my die-cast Matrix.

    Anyway, to the topic.

    My most worthless accessory is Henkei Hot Shot's Mini-Con, Jolt. It can't even display on its own.

    I do keep a baggie with Henkei accessories that aren't on the display, it includes: Bumblebee's Jet-Ski, Skyfire's helmet, and then missiles from Rodimus, Grimlock, Skyfire, and Inferno.

    Oh, no, I got the punchline. Just saying it didn't strike my funny bone.

    Then you must be doing it wrong ;) 


    On-topic again, I actually think the mace that came with TFA Lugnut was rather... awkward and out of place. Why not just give him a little extra kibble with that tail, and increase his height? I'm sure kids (and collectors) wouldn't have minded not having a stumpy Lugnut.

    Never seen that picture before and I am greatly confused by it. What is... ?Action Maters?... Prime doing there? (The one on the right hand side who isn't G1 Prime and seems to be standing there for no apparent reason.)

    To those of you who don't want your Animated Prowl's street light, pm me :) 

    turboedguy continues to be awesome. 'nuff said.

    As for my pick, I always thought the handles to G1 Roadbuster's backpack were pretty useless.

    It's a slight redeco of the Action Masters Prime, yes. That set included it as well as the Matrix:

    Safety issues on the sword.

    The other weapon didn't exist in 1984.

    *reads thread* i think some of you have mistook the word "pointless" for useless... :lol 

    the only pointless part mentioned was prowls street light, the rest all had a point!

    he said nothing about them being useless... :lol 

    the headmaster was in the show, thus, a point!

    just for example.

    and the missiles always have a point...

    sometimes in your eyes... :lol

    I refuse to believe Mikaela Banes has a point.

    I dunno, I have my Grimlock decked out in the apron and serving set above my mini fridge. I think it looks damn funny.

    My motto goes, If they can't hold or attach all the accessories at once, Then it has too much. Excluding the high end things since you can never have enough accessories with those.

    Yeah I normally want storage space for everything. Like I don't know what to do with Masterpiece Prime's Blaster or his Energon Ax when he isn't using them.

    Speaking of Masterpiece Prime... Megatron Gun... That should of really come out with Starscream not Prime. :p

    Has anyone mentioned extra missiles. As in, it only has 1 gun that shoots them but came with more than one missile. Oddly enough my HA Bumblebee lost the one that WASN'T loaded into his cannon arm first because it fell off the little storage spot where I wasn't using it.

    I'm just going to say it... HA Jazz's gun... What's the deal with that thing? It transforms into a motorcycle that isn't even part of Jazz and it's not even a very good transformation.
