    TFC Uranos.

    If we're not counting third party pretty much any of my movie shit that's characters that weren't actually in any of the movies. All that crap is just sitting in a closet collecting dust now.

    Armada Wheeljack, gives me the shudders thinking about it, but well I was new to the hobby

    lesson learnt, ALWAYS watch youtube review first :D 

    luckily other Wheeljack I have is definitely AWESOME (MP > TFP > Generations > Energon)

    whichever transformer I bought first that got me back into collecting. Maybe animated prime, prowl or blitzwing? If only I hadn't started down the path of buying these things lol.

    Seriously though, can't think of anything I actually regret. I'm not the kind of person to think to much on that stuff.

    Leader brawl and starscream. I know they're like Grails for a lot of people, but they're just awful figures.

    "Revenge Of The Fallen" Blazemaster is pretty close for me... despite being a better figure than "Beast Machines" Silverbolt, who is at least hilariously bad IMO.

    Hmm, not too many actually. I'm happy with most of the stuff I have gotten. If I don't like something then I will usually trade or sell it, or donate. There have been figures that I have not liked too much after getting them in hand, but I don't typically regret the purchase.

    I was THAT close back in the day to get an Mp05. Funny thing how this and Starscream (mp3 which I own) seemed to be the best things ever back in the day :D

    Most of the early Prime line, kept the predacons for novelty and had a story idea for them in my classics shelf.

    Generations Sky-byte and TFC Ironhide. I just didn't like Sky-byte when I handled it and bought KFC's version instead. The TFC Ironhide was the same thing.

    Beast Machines ultra Jetfire. I thought this was going to be the best purchase I will ever make. I opened it (transformers came in alt mode back in the day) & transformed it & I thought "Ben Yee why didn't you warn me!" There is no back to this guy! The split panels on his wrist don't look appealing. You curl his manhood up... I hate how his chest is formed when looking down at the toy.

    I wouldn't admit it either. I was going to make myself like it. The only toy I still have from beast machines is the deluxe jetstorm drone. It's such a better toy.

    Armada Smokescreen probably. Really wanted Liftor as a kid soo. Liftor still gets played with but Smokescreen stays in vehicle mode.

    T30 Jetfire. Only figure I've purchased and immediately returned the next day.

    I hated his lack of articulation, and the fact that his red chrome was chipping off before he was even out of the packaging.. I had never been so disappointed in a single figure before him.

    Forgot to mention majority of my DOTM purchases that were purchased for the sole reason in order to 'scratch the itch'.

    Now I'm left with figures nobody wants.

    Scalpel was such a disappointing piece of crap. You put him next to his contemporary the Insecticon and I should've bought like three of those because that's how much better they were than Scalpel.
