    5 deluxe berserker (transforming this and getting all the panels in line is so frustrating I ALMOST crushed the figure with rage in my hand but he does look amazing in robot mode but as a figure he's utter sh*t !)

    4 tlk deluxe barricade I just don't like the way this figure looks it has way too much kibble on it

    3tlk steelbane (bit floppy terrible figure )

    2tlk skullitron (same as steel bane but even more floppy)

    1 tlk one step bumblebee (it looks horrible way too much yellow and I'm someone who likes one steps still bought it though as I'm an idiot):lol 



    You wouldn't think looking at the list but I loved the last knight toy line figures such as voyager megatron ,voyager hound ,deluxe hot rod ,one step drift and many others are amazing

    You are wrong on every account! Every figure you said is the most disappointing is actually the most impressive figures of 2017! Especially MPM-04 Optimus Prime! That is the best figure of the year!






    He doesn't even own any if these figures!




    The true disappointment for @Norm West is that he can't afford these amazing figures!

    I agree with MP-36 Megatron. It was a huge disappointment, and I felt like I had badly spent my $180. I Just pre-ordered the Infinite Transformations KO of him, hoping for a better toy.

    I've actually been pretty happy with all of my TF purchases this year, so I wouldn't even describe the ones on my worst list as bad. TR Laser Prime, TR Broadside, and PotP Starscream all get on this list for having large stickers over textured surfaces. The fact that there is no RID Thundercracker kind of puts the damper on my purchase of RID Starscream and Skywarp.

    All in all, if those are the worst I can come up with, I had a great year with TF.

    I agree with this sentiment as good as the mould looks. If they'd have given him a silver paintjob or a more defined grey, the figure would look infinitely better, and displayable.

    Pretty much everything in TLK premier Edition that isn’t a new mold (with the exception of retools). Hasbro just gave no fucking shit about the Dinobots to the point where they suffered sales for it due to every single Dinobots other than Scorn shelfwarming. It’s reasons like this why Hasbro lost the license to Jurassic Park/World. Seriously, what is with Hasbro’s dinosaur hatred? Dinosaurs are a globally adored, in fact, I’d say more kids grew up liking dinosaurs more than something like Star Wars. Hell, even kids from the 30’s I’m sure grew up liking dinosaurs!

    The only thing I legitimately regret purchasing in 2017 was TR Sixshot, and I got him on sale for $20. I didn't think it was possible for a figure with 6 modes to be so boring and bland.

    I can't come up with 5. Those are the only toys I bought last year that I don't like.

    I'm pretty sure we can't understand norm's language. He's just so complex with his theories of the universe, and for him to talk about these small toys, must make him feel so superior to everyone on the boards. MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE HERE! Anyways, I'm really starting to think he's a 13 year old who's only toys are rid legions, and thinks they're masterpieces. And worst of all, he doesn't even have them in hand. Actually y'know what, I actually may just buy an mpm-04, send it to him for a few days, and let him validate his opinion. I'm almost considering it. But money is tight.


    Oh well, nobody likes me, so there goes the effort.

    Anyways

    1/48 Rx-78, he has so much potential, and yet he feels like he is made of roblox almost.

    Tlk megatron, he feels very stiff and the aritculation is good, but he doesn't feel right at all.

    Tr hot rod doesn't feel rody at all, and feels like another figure instead of something impressive.

    Uh.......does energon ironhide count?


    Honestly, I've had so good figures in my collection this year.

    The best thing I could say about him was getting him for $20.

    Otherwise I really don't regret anything I bought in 2017, not even the duplicates from the Target clearance (more bodies for isolated Titan Master heads). I suppose you could also say I'm glad I didn't pay full price for Krok, but I really liked Skullcruncher's beast mode to begin with so having another one in Insecticon colors isn't all bad.
