    30 minutes?

    Wow, I don't transform it often but it takes two minutes for me. Perhaps it might help to watch the transformation from an online review as you lack the instructions.


    Anyway, any figure with GPS.

    If you're meaning to discuss challenging or frustrating transformations, you really should be in the third-party forum.
    Retail figures (yes, even Side Burn) are much easier than some of the complex puzzles MakeToys or Perfect Effect have produced.

    MakeToys "Sonic Drill"
    X-Transbots "Apollyon"
    ToyWorld "Sideload"

    Any of these presents a greater challenge than any retail figure would dare to.

    ROTF Voyager Mixmaster. Transformed him in to robot mode once and have never been able to put him back into truck mode.

    Yeah, I felt pretty pathetic. So much so that it's funny to me now, though. I was 1/2 watching the news, 1/2 trying not to break one of his joints. It was horrendous, at one point I daydreamed of putting it on eBay all misshapen looking with "broken transformation cog".

    RotF Jetfire and HST-02.
    Jetfire because he's a downright pain to line up just to get a robot underneath an SR71 body.
    HST-02 because the alt mode isn't overly attractive, and the head can easily get stuck.

    30 minutes for Sideburn? Wow.

    On topic, '07 Legends Battle Damage Bumblebee and Scorponok 2 pack, has some weird GPS rubber thing going on with his tail end. On purchase it was soft and flexible, but nowadays it's rock solid and incredibly brittle.

    :(

    Yup. Great alt mode, it's best as a friggin huge menacing gun. Let's leave it at that.


    Oh, and G1 Roadbuster. Looks fantastic in both modes but it's a nightmare to transform. It's parts forming hell with 99% chance of losing that antenna. Just pick one mode and stay there.
