    Universe Galvatron. I only transform him if I'm feeling particularly masochistic.

    I'm of the viewpoint that all Transformers should be transformed, but I understand where some are coming from. I have MP-09 and Apollyon and although difficult I still find them fun to transform, the movie figures though, apart fron the molds from the first film they're a friggin' nightmare, and not too pretty to look at either.

    I remember the 2007 Movie deluxe Bumblebee being a pain to transform sometimes, especially the chest and arms. You had to do it a very particular way, otherwise they wouldn't line up and fold into place correctly. I don't think the auto-morph gimmick gelped much either

    Maybe it's just because I predominantly collect the movie lines, but I never have a problem transforming almost all of the figures everyone is complaining about, save for DotM Leader Sentinel. His panels are a bitch.

    I recently transformed my Gens Wreck Gar after about a year of him being in storage. Of course I broke one of the mirrors. I will never transform classics Starscream again, because, again, after having him in storage for a year, one of his tail fins was scary tight.

    Beast Wars Transmetal Megatron and Fuzor Torca are both forever trapped in beast mode due to concerns over that damned GPS. Also, Generations Rattrap and Waspinator.

    The ONLY answer is figures with GPS or otherwise dangerously fragile figures. I don't care what the toy is other than that. If you aren't transforming it, you're doing it wrong.

    RtS G2 Optimus Prime. This pain in the ass stays permanently in robot mode, because I have never been able to get him back into a truck properly.

    I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE! HUZZAH!

    I've never, NOT EVER, been able to get the....fuel tanks? The things that fold over his hands in truck mode, to sit right. Nothing wants to line up between the front and rear halves.

    I don't transform any of my MP's UNLESS I have to change them from vehicle mode to bot mode, which is what I display all of them in, although I'm debating on Grimlock as he looks much better in Dino mode.

    These damn things cost so much... I'm afraid something will snap off while I'm transforming them.

    Don't reakly agree with this. I transform my masterpieces regularly and I have Megs and Roddy (Hasbro version) and I have never had any issues. Megayron has one difficult step when you slide the hips and torso but otherwise mine are all super solid and fun to transform.
