    i am SO glad im not the only one....

    ROTF leader prime and jetfire. usually i leave them in combined form but for some reason i felt like breaking them up and torturing myself with them. prime's cab and arms piss me off and all of jetfire's stupid fucking panels. thank god hasbro has started splitting up figures with collectors lines and kids lines. i mean jesus how is some kid suppose to transform these two without losing his damn mind??

    oddly enough i never have these issues with DoTM sentinel prime that you guys have.

    Yesterday and today I've been in the process of putting my ROTF figures into storage.

    Needless to say, Battle Blade Optimus, Battle Blade Bumblebee and HFTD Ironhide have me so frustrated I'm angry.

    Like all of them? Seriously, I am terrible at transforming them. Once I get them into their best mode, they usually stay there.

    ROTF Ultimate Bumblebee, not because it is complex, it is literally a pain to transform, hurts my hands.

    Generations Blitzwing, his arms just won't fit in place with Tank Mode! They always pop out! And WFC Bee/Cliffjumper. They never fully stay together. Who else? Oh yeah, MP Rodimus. Nearly snapper his arm off, instead I somehow pulled out his spoiler...Now he is forever standing up against a wall. Until I glue it that is. Platinum Edition UM, he's more of a pain if anything. Then comes Classics Cyclonus, for some odd reason, I can never get him right.

    Some people aren't able to reverse their rain coat, so what is the big deal?

    As for the topic, I refuse to transform Armada Unicron. There's no point turning him back into half of a planet anyway.

    Obvious ones I can think of are leader Sentinel Prime and ROTF leader Optimus, of course.

    Other than that... ehhh, TFA Prowl, Bumblebee and Soundwave. Prowl's front wheel never locks into place properly, and the windshield pieces on Bumblebee's legs always pop off super easily, so it's really obnoxious. Soundwave just has various pieces throughout that require a bit of massaging to get in place.

    There's also quite a few figures I can think of that I hate to transform just because it's hard to flip out a foot or hand. I also hate all big TFs with really, really strong, loud, and stiff ratchets. I usually end up getting a finger crushed or pinched. Such as most Cybetron Supremes or Leaders.

    Its kinda odd because ROTF Leader Prime & Jetfire are in no way hard for me but I have a hell of a time with Leader Sentinel Prime. Haven't even tried to transform MP Rodimus due to fear of breaking him and one of the kids toys I have yet to transform due to lost instructions is EAC Slug slinger.

    Great thread cause to me the 2nd edition of the movie optimus was tough and the 1st movie Megatron was tough as well. I know their where a few more but can't think of there names right now.

    I'm surprised noone's mentioned Beast Hunters Deluxe Smokescreen. Those arms are a fucking nightmare!

    MP-05 Megatron, I can never get tabbed in correctly in gun mode. The handle always has bits popping out.

    These guys. I like them, but they are such a pain to transform. Especially the Skids and Mudflap. They're so dang fiddly.

    I can never get the order right on the ice cream truck Mudflap, and I always end up popping something off.

    Funny that a lot of these are ROTF toys, which is apparently what people want movie toys to go back to. In reality they were the most impressive looking but least fun toys ever.
