    I thought many of the Alternators looked all chest and no torso in pics, especially Meister, and resulted in me avoiding them for far too long.

    Stop saying nice things about Alternity Bumblebee and Cliffjumper. I don't want to know that they're better than their pics let on.

    DotM Ultimate Prime. All the pictures had his trailer spread out like a butterfly. He ended up being pretty badass in my book once I get everything to fit together in a decent way.

    Energon Prime, Energon Omega Supreme and Energon Wing Saber. Combined or uncombined these 3 look amazing in person.

    Looked crap from what I saw. Bought it to consider a huffer custom and when I got it I didn't want to touch a thing. Awesome figure!

    DOTM Air Raid (American mold). It looked damn ugly in pictures but I saw him at Target on Black Friday and took him. Out of the box, he is such a great figure!

    PRID Optimus Prime's backpack looked giant and terrible in pictures, but I quite love the figure now that I have it.

    Actually, FE Cliffjumper (Takara). I thought it looked way too boxy and hollow in pictures, but after playing around with it for a couple days I absolutely love the thing. The shoulders, chest, arms and legs; it's all really good. Easily my favorite deluxe of the line right now.

    Every single fricking Alternator.
    If you look at the stock photos, they look like unarticulated pieces of kibbly shit.

    I now own one, and it's one of my all time faves.

    Now I kind of want to open the one Alternator I own, Frenzy, which I only picked up because I owned the car.
