Since when are the Armada moulds popular?
As for me, there are a few:
First off, Classics Jetfire for having the same transformation scheme as the Machine Wars flip-changers a decade later and at a Voyager price point. When you can't think of anything to do with the robot's arms than have them hang hang uselessly on the vehicle's sides you've seriously failed at transforming toy design. This guy is the one Classics figure that's inferior in pretty much every way to his G1 counterpart.
I wouldn't say I hate the Classics Seeker mould (for all its faults, it did a good job of translating a cartoon model designed without regard to the laws of physics to plastic form) but it's extremely overused and just needs to be put to bed already. Hopefully Generations Thundercracker will be its last appearance.
I also really hate the Universe Prowl mould, largely for the fact that it has an extremely awkward transformation scheme that's pretty much impossible without popping the doors off from their ball joints. The same goes for Generations Darkmount for the parts of his tank treads that hang on his back.
