    The weapons are ok, but I love the knuckles and toes.
    AOE Snarl is the worst Dinobot from the AOE line, and quite possibly the worst figure of the line.

    I like the CW Hand/Feet pieces I mean they aren't perfect but they've got really good functionality they can become both a decent hand and feet piece and a gun granted I'm not into the guns (They're far too blocky.) but I appreciate that they can become a weapon rather than having to leave that piece somewhere.

    I personally find him to be the best of the dinobots. Grimlocks the worst.

    I think MP Red Alert looks better than MP Sideswipe!

    Repaints were really cool back when they were entirely different than their original release. Same color same character repaints are just boring.

    That last half isn't unpopular, I'm sure.

    My jimmies have remained unrustled for this whole thread. Until now.

    I guess my unpopular opinion is in regards to the AEC (Unicron Trilogy) line. They seem to get a lot of flak, but I think a whole lot of the figures are fun attempts at different aesthetics/engineering. Universe Overload (a redeco of an AEC figure) is one of my favorite figures. The only real issue I have with them is a lot of them lack storage for weapons/cyber keys.

    I also have a weakness for Power Core Combiners. Have Bombshock, Steamhammer, and Stakeout right now and I love them.

    I think there may be mention that it's used in the formation of Devastator, but I could be wrong. In "The Gloaming", Heretech blasts Ultra Magnus with Megs, so there's another one.

    But, when you consider the explanation given for how mass-shifting works, you can start to see why it's used so infrequently (In IDW, at least).

    I like offroad better than breakdown. BD just has a couple of flaws that knock him down a peg.

    hola girl hips and an inability for his legs to stay together in car mode.

    I like the looks of Hasbro hands well enough, but they really fall down as feet. The bigger a figure is, the more it needs ankle articulation. That's what makes the CW stuff objectively worse than every 3p combiner. They can't pose for nothing compared to the more expensive stuff.

    If they had spent a few cents on ankle articulation there wouldn't be any need for PE or any other 3P feet.

    my only problem with them is that they don't peg in all too secure.

    I like the hands and feet too. Way better than G1..can be used as guns (my son LOVES them as guns) and they work well overall.

    Unpopular opinion? Im SICK of hearing about fembots.

    Yeah, that opinion is "unpopular" for a reason, dear. You see, this fandom is full of smart people, who realize that misogyny is terrible.

    It's almost like we hear loads about Fembots because there's not nearly enough female characters as there are Male characters.

    Yeah, and I'm just sick of the latest wave exclusively populated by Dickcons, over-primey Motormaster, and squat-troll no-stomach Menasor. But whatever, I guess even a rare, token female of the lithe Thunderblast type is still too many wiminz.

    Personally the more fembot figures the better. I'm still waiting for a Mistress of Flame figure. Windblade is one of my favorite deluxe figures from last year. I can't wait to see the RID figure.

    I'd rather it be this way, less of a chance of seeing toys of them in "sexy" poses
