What TF disappointed you, surprised you the most last year? (up till now)

[Nocturn]

Anything movie based in ROTF Line - disappointing.

Surprising: ROTF Scouts

[jackwacko]

Disappointment: ROTF Voy. Starscream... Paid $20 for a doritoformer.. Rather get some real doritos than have this.. weird iteration of SS. Well at least he looks nice as a F-22, with weird paint apps and plastic color choice.

Surprise: Universe Galvatron ... no. But Universe Cyclonus, Sunstreaker, and Inferno IMO were the trophy toys of the Universe line. Cyclonus's leg transformation is simple, yet extremely satisfying. His colors are more soothing, the lavender feels kinda scary. Sunstreaker's transformation hearkens back to Alt. Mirage's.. Now I need to obtain Sideswipe.. who will be my first redeco/retool. Inferno doesn't need explanation, he's that awesome.

Oh also. Anything that actually appeared in ROTF, were mediocre/bad.. Leader Prime is alright, but the Faceplate Buster prime from the Jetconvoy 2 pack is.. better. All the non-movie ROTF line members are GREAT! Especially scouts.

Scalpel is the single worst TF toy experience I've ever had. Half of the sockets that hold his legs were broken out of the box and he just falls apart all over the place when I try to transform him. It's a shame because I really wanted to like this toy.

At least Hasbro sent me a free replacement figure. RotF Sonar is great and it already helps that I love that mold.

Scalpel doesn't count.

Yeah, I got lucky with My Scalpel but, he doesn't stand well, his legs are utter crap for supporting his weight, and Preceptor is a better microscope mode.

I should make him MIB just because of that lol

WOW! Talk about bad QC... Unless some kid busted those joints and returned it because he/she broke his/her Scalpel.

Mine's standing perfectly fine right now on the computer desk as I type this. If you balance him correctly he stands and supports his weight easily.

I guess though Hasbro could have engineered him slightly better. I will admit he does look odd next to the other Scouts, but he's quite the personality.

Surprised, umm, I'd say the Burning Fallen. Where I come from, the only way to get a fallen is the shelfwarming burning ones, or the super expensive 3 pack (and on the budget I go on, that's really expensive). Also, The Constructicons (legends and deluxeévoyager). I love the four full-size ones, and the engineering on the legends ones are amazing! My only complaint with the legends ones are that they aren`t as big as the full size ones. Want a full set of constructicons!

Dissapointed, I'd say that Scalpel kinda dissapointed me in that before a month passed, one of the sockets for the legs cracked, and now I'm afraid that it'ss snap in half and be completely useless.
