    when i frist saw the binaltech toys i was very impressed, and they are impressive, after a while though you realise that they are little fun, a complex Tf and the fact you have to be careful to avoid breakage makes them loose points.

    i recently got star convoy which has an incredibly simple Tf, well it still has about 8 steps but they really are very simple twist/flip types and theres no push and squeeze! i transform that thing all the time, so much fun!!


    least TF'd toy i have : MP megs.

    Most of the G1 toys. Not so much for the complexity (obviously), but more their age and replacement value.

    I also agree about the Mustang Alts, but I always seem to have a rough time with the Viper mold as well.

    My one and only pick - alt Wheeljack, not because of popping doors but I can never get his alt mode body & front part to line up. Am I missing anything? Have tried numerous methods, panel massaging as well as persuassions. Hell I'd even tried bribing that SOB but it just won't stay lined up! :banghead: 

    I do enjoy alt level of transformation though, Rodimus was quite enjoyable but I have one question, does his rear engine cover line up? Damn, I'm opening a can o' worms here...

    Movie Leader Brawl. I still really like him as a figure, but he's a pain to transform into tank-mode (never did get him fully transformed). Other than that, I always feel a little wary when transforming any of my kitbashes. Even though few of them are at any real risk of paint scratches from transforming.

    The one that stands out to me is Movie Ironhide! I could never get his alt. mode back to what it looked like, LOL
    I also had problems with the Alt. Stang's and Shockwave!!!

    OFT! His Alt mode always looks off.

    MP Starscream and Skywarp, SS has some major paint chips from my transforming. I have only transformed SW once, and that was into bot mode for display.

    I gotta go with any of the movie Camaros. I have both BB and Cliffjumper, and probably will never transform them. Simply cause the hood auto-morph is so fragile...

    Yes I am afraid to transform my MP6 Skywarp too. The clicking and clacking is the sound of my heart, not his joints, when I'm transforming him.

    Movie Leader Megatron. I have yet to get him into alt mode even once.

    Masterpiece Megatron. I love getting him into both modes, but the process is a pain in the @$$.

    Masterpiece Starscream. I'm afraid of his wings snapping off, and since it's the WalMart version, I can't tell if stress marks are forming or not... :banghead: 

    Alternator Prime. Just a pain in the @$$. That's all.

    Anyone else is a joy. I love Universe Galvatron and don't see why there's so many complaints, and my absolute favorite to just sit & go back & forth & back & forth & back & forth is Masterpiece Prime. Love him!! :D

    Big convoy, Movie Ironhide, Movie Leader Prime, Alt Mustangs

    Mostly above just cuz they're a pain in the ass to get lined up right, the movie guys just due to the fact that the instructions were just about usless and ironhide's legs still piss me off for some reason.

    I just tf'd Universe Galvatron for the first time and can understand some off the complants, but my main gripe for him is the simple fact he literaly fell to pieces after i picked him up. wtf? I really enjoy him, and it kinda made it a little easier to tf him, but come on, these are supposed to be the latest and greatest. Still cool though.

    Movie Ironhide is a pain. I just cannot do it. MP Starscream and classics Prowl remain in alt mode.

    I did not but MP Megatron, simply because of the stories.

    No one mentioned Titanium WW Megatron? I guess he doesn't really transform, does he?:wink:  More like you have to reassemble him.

    MP Megs - Not because he's really hard, but more because I've transformed him once, and don't feel the need to transform him again.

    Movie Leader Megs - Those damn legs can't get under the wings properly, it sucks :mad 

    Alt Mustang - A bad mold to transform, I don't like it much. Though they look good in robot mode.

    Movie Scorponok - Like someone said, what's the point ? :D

    The new Universe Galvatron is a MESS and I really don't want to touch it again.

    Then there's the usual, Alt Mustangs, Alt Primes, MP Megatron, TM2 Dragon Megatron.

    My all time hate to transform is RID Omega Prime. Hes been Omega Prime for at least 3 years now and so he shall stay.
