    In general for me it's a lack of upper arm swivel and thigh swivel. In this day and age unless it's a scout or smaller, there's no excuse for not having that swivel anymore I feel. I can understand no waist swivel as due to engineering it isn't always feasible or possible to add that, but thigh and upper arm? That should be something that is standard by now.

    The lack of wrist swivels and finger articulation on HFTD Leader/MP-M01 Starscream, for sure, but that can be fixed with fakebusker's Shapeways hands. Definitely need to get a pair of those and mod my MP Screamer!

    Couldn't agree more. He'd rank in my top 5 ever if he had wrists.

    Bicep swivels on so many good figures would've had them be great instead.

    For me, it's those legs that feel that they should clip together better/more in alt mode.

    This is more of a nit pick probably, but painted parts with mold flash.

    How can I cut the mold flash away without revealing some horribly inappropriate pin striping? Ugh.

    Let's just say I would own DOTM Megatron and Sideswipe already if it weren't for one thing...You know what I mean.

    Yeah, these too. Jazz's back looks sooo plain, and the thing with Cyclonus' legs in jet mode really bugs me.

    One main issue I have is RoTF Voyager Starscream's arms. I really with they would bend in the other direction, too.

    Universe Galvatron's size. Even more so than 2007 movie Blackout or Bonecrusher.

    Since several people have already deliberately misinterpreted the thread title by using it as a (flimsy) excuse to just have a good moan...

    ...What ruins a lot of toys is people who don't appreciate the talent, imagination, and ingenuity that goes into a lot of what is available.

    I agree about Sideswipe, but Megatron is really not that bad. His color scheme is supposed to look dull and faded because he has been in the desert. It suits him pretty well IMO.
