    The RID15 Decepticons are sure to go down as some on the weirder mainline Transformers that have been conceived.

    That's definitely what makes them great though. I sure hope they don't dump the aesthetic entirely for 2017 like it seems they might. :confused: :mad:

    Y'all want weird? Let's get weird.

    Gari Kun, a popsicle that transforms into a screaming japanese boy cosplaying as optimus

    Disney Label Transformers. Featuring Mickey Mouse/Optimus and Donald Duck/ Bumblebee hybrids and a Headmaster Buzz Lightyear.

    Sports Label. They transform into tiny shoes!?

    Calvin Johnson Megatron. A transformer that can only be acquired by buying a pair of shoes endorsed by a footballer. The toy is decoed to match the shoes and comes with a tiny football of his own.

    Chevy Aveo Swerve. A car manufacturor commisioned Hasbro to make an Autobot that turns into a particular car as part of a promotional giveaway.

    Convoy Pens
    Its an Optimus prime that (barely) transforms into a functional ballpoint pen. Why is this a thing?

    Kissplayers. That's all I need to say isn't it?

    I have one of these and it's actually a really good pen with a very interesting transformation and nice paint, a bit expensive though

    These...things?

    Say what you want, but I still have all of those, and I still love them. Everyone hates on Arcee because of her design, but fail to recognize that she's actually super-accurate to her screen model:

    Ahh, Ejector. I had to buy him because he turned into the DeLonghi toaster I had.

    My son has turned him into a pile of scrap parts sadly. Terrible face though.

    He's actually quite adorable in hand. I love him.

    Want.

    Have. Swerve's a pretty nice figure mold.
    No desire, scales well with Metroplex, though.
    Redecos of Alternators with smut rags and a scantily clad figure. No thanks. (Dafuq you on, Takara?)

    I've got one of those! Was actually really impressed with the bot mode. Pen mode is a little wobbly due to the middle joint, otherwise pretty good.

    Sorry, intended ironically :p 

    *EDIT*

    Actually on second thoughts I edited out the comment, I shouldn't bring up horrible politics in a decent place like this, even as a joke.
