    Aside from the ridiculously huge backpack and the bowl legs?

    Don't get me wrong: it's a very nice figure, very well articulated and it's especially impressive that they were even able to work in a nice detailed dashboard in alt mode. I'd say it's the best representation of the character available but the flaws are pretty glaring.

    Must be very AWFUL to always find a reason for disliking a figure.

    To be fair, I could probably think of at least one flaw or nitpick or possible improvement for almost every figure I own. Even though I love most if not all of them.

    I guess the question is, at what point does "room for improvement" transition over into "I'm not happy with this figure". In my case, hmm. I think maybe two cases so far in my collection.

    Astrotrain as many have said but also Powerglide (MP scale). I don't think Glider looks that great and the only thing close is the oversized Machineboy KO.

    This thread is funny - it's a list of thousands. Obviously, these are (only) my opinions. Let's start:

    Bumblebee
    Teletraan 1/Ark playset (for a reasonable price)
    Jazz
    Cliffjumper
    Huffer
    Brawn
    Gears
    Windcharger
    Hotlink/Air Warrior Clone
    Nacelle
    Bitstream
    Jesse
    "O"
    ...

    That's just the first episode of the original animated show and the first Marvel issue!

    I am a 44 year old Mechanical Engineer who thinks you are missing the point of the thread by an honest mile. This isn't the "Why can't they make random shit that I dream up" thread. Now Mamatron... That is a figure that needs a relook. A sword wielder should have proper wrists. I love the concept of Magmatron.

    I did not realize I was not allowed to have an opinion on this thread.. Let me go back and read the original post..

    "...do any of you have figures that you bought, displayed, and still don't feel satisfied with?"

    Nope, I was right. He asked for OPINION. My post stands. You opinion will vary, but mine was is the correct answer FOR ME. You can have your answer, but I not tell me my response isn't right.

    1. MP Hound, the alt-modes too large, I guess future attempts should try to reduce the alt-mode size
    2. MP Reflector. Existing toys emphasis too much on the toon, at *least* it should have the option to have toy-accurate torso

    1. Hot Spot / Motormaster / Onslaught / Silverbolt : No 3rd-mode (except the g1 toy)
