    The Classics Houd,I saw him and for some reason I did pick him up.Hound was my first Transformer as a kid.Also I wished that someone told me that Fansproject would come out with the Citycommander addon back in 2007 and I would have picked up the Ultra Magnus/Skywarp 2 pack.

    I'd be with you on Sideswipe, except I didn't technically buy mine, so yeah...But as someone who started collecting with Armada around the age of 12, it makes for a fun progression where the figures sort of "grow up" with you. Not much of a consolation for the longer-term fans, I know, but an interesting thing to note all the same.

    As for a figure that I actually spent money on that I regret, I'm not really sure there are any. I would say RotF Jolt, but again, I didn't actually spend money on him either; I got him last summer through that "Double Your Action" giveaway. Same deal with RotF Dead End--not a huge fan, but I got him for free.

    I guess my best answer for this would be RotF Voy. Megatron, and even then, I don't particularly dislike the figure, I was just disappointed by the magnitude of his backpack in robot mode. Plus, the awesomeness of DotM Voy. Megatron has pretty much overwritten that disappointment in my mind.

    I got that awful Armada Sideswipe mold as Treadshot in a big lot of figures I bought. I mean, I guess I don't regret it that much, it was in a huge lot of good figures, but what crap that toy is. Blagh.

    DOTM Leader Optimus. It kept me from ever getting a Buster Prime (since I didn't want to duplicate), which I regret now. Nothing against the toy itself, though.....its a great figure.

    2007 Movie Wreckage. The APC Tank thing. Decepticon. Alt mode is underwhelming. Don't like the transformation. Not a lot of weapons, either. Good thing I bought it second hand.

    Yeah, I know what you mean.

    Eve though I became a fan of TF's around when R.I.D first came out, it wasnt till Armada where I really started to buy Transformers figures. Back then as a kid I appreciated almost any type of toy, articulation or not.

    Even if Armada wasnt one of the best the franchise had to offer, I still consider it nostalgic to me since I grew up with it.

    AAhhh!! That sucks! I never found Legends Wheelie, but knew that i had to get Cosmos and Warpath the only time i ever saw them on the shelves. Smokescreen i never got, since the deco really turned me off.

    I regret buying anything from the 2007 movie, Meagtron in particular. What an unimaginative flying brick that is. The stupid arm gimmick makes it worse. I find it worse than Armada Sideswipe, 'cause it was a more expensive regret.

    TFTM Leader Megatron. But you gotta have a Megatron to go with Prime right?

    Movie 1 Jungle Bonecrusher. What a pain in the @$$ to transform.

    Really? He's not that hard to transform, he's actually rather easy.

    RtS Perceptor.

    One day, I will find out the birthday of my greatest foe, and Perceptor will be his present.
