    MP Grimlock's accessories that aren't the gun and sword.
    The crown is nice, but not necessary.
    The apron, serving tray and brain-thing are less than useless.

    ^They're for reenacting a scene from the G1 cartoon, actually.

    Sinc ei forgot to actually post my suggestions last post:

    Movie Bumblebee: he is an accessory, an accessory to wallet murder, and he is useless and over produced and crap.

    Cyberverse Bumblebee: the APC/Battle Bunker/whatever it's called is pointless, useless and looks like crap. Compared to the awesome of the other playsets (shockwave, ratchet, etc.), Bumblebee's is useless.

    Cyberverse Hatchet: drone attack pods which really don't work very well as drones or guns.

    Animated Blurr's shield blade: it's just a way of using the hood for something in car mode. But it's crap.

    Humans from the a human Alliance figure: great concept, but the sculpts for those humans are crap. Sam's face looks like a croissant that's just been stepped on, Mikaela looks like some vaguely humanoid alien.

    HA Arcee/Chromia/Elita 1: it's worse than the legends figure.

    Eh, I kinda like the animated blurr shield. It helps add a little asymmetry to him, and its not like the saw thing needs to stay out.

    Classic BB's jetski works pretty well as a back-mounted weapon. I just wish the wheels could've been converted into guns.

    Classics Prime's windvane thing whatever gun. It makes a terrible cannon and is just another part of his alt mode that doesn't store well in robot mode. All it does is stick out from his back and spin around on it's peg.

    It's a flail.

    pretty much most accessories that other than a character's main/secondary weapon and/or the matrix.
    even the trailers are pretty useless IMO.

    I agree. He's got a perfectly good rifle that looks decent, while this one is just huge and odd. I find it pretty useless and setting that much
    Plastic aside practically makes him a deluxe.

    HA Jazz's motorcycle gun becomes rather useless if you use Deluxe Battle Damage Jazz's rifle instead. It makes a decent enough motorcycle for the other useless accessory to ride, though.
