No worst then Hasbro mistransforming they're own products.
Still funny though.

I've seen this on the Hasbro site. I think they're the ones doing it wrong.

TRU only uses official photos. That's not TRU transforming them wrong, it's Hasbro.

haha, funny stuff.

Another reason why hasbro should hire collectors to advertise their products.

Stock photo fail. Again.

Still not a bad as the Cybertron Downshift stock photo... where they left his crotch piece dangling.

still not as bad as when the hasbro profile pic of the MKII iron man had his shoulder piece on his head.

Okay, that had to be on purpose.

No... the worst pic I've seen of a transformation is neither of those - it's a tie.

Tied between Universe Sideswipe (the pic of him with the proper head) and Movie Blackout (the pic Hasbro had on their site with his waist the wrong way and the propeller mistransformed in robot mode)

That is awesome! I can just picture the photo shoot now...

Photoguy: "Hey the new toy just arrived for us to photograph, but it has this extra piece here... what should we do with it?"
Hasbro Executive: "Just put it on his head and snap the shot. It is almost coffee time."
Photoguy: "But it looks like the same piece as on his other shoulder..."
Hasbro Executive: "I said snap the picture dammit!"

Do these things not come with instructions for them to follow before taking the photos?

maybe the photographer thought it looked more presentable. there's no other explanation.

I love these pics, it's always nice to see people know what there doing...But I have to say the worst I've ever seen was of E.Megatron on the walmart web site I believe.
