Ancillary, non-main-line stuff. Star Wars TF, Speed Stars, Titanium Series, Robot Heroes, that sort of thing. They're kinda neat, but we all know they're not really that important. Admit it, you know it's true.

And though I generally dislike the way the fanclub fiction handles things, I won't pretend that I'm not happy it's canon now.
Dude, I wish to hell that I could store things in subspace pockets so much. But I'm always gonna like the term "Hammerspace" better.
Y'know something I love that probably nobody else likes? Snaptrap's way of calling the other Seacons in...whatever Japanese cartoon that was in. Masterforce? It's ridiculous and annoying, dude's like "YIPyipyipyipyipyipyipyipyipyipyip..." and I can just picture the Autobots hearing that and just saying "Oooohhhhh balls. Not that!" It's the worst battle cry ever, but I love it anyway.
And immediately after he calls his boys and becomes Piranacon, he fights Ginrai, but to me it looks like to of my favorite G1 toys throwing the hell down, so I love that scene a lot.

Cliffjumper sure thought so later on.
I sorta liked BM Megahead, both the figure and the concept, although the figure was not as good as it could be. Then again, that's not saying anything, BM Megs had zero good figures in regular format, so Megahead might be it.
See, that one's a camcorder, that one's a camera, that one's a phone, and they're doing "Speak no evil, See no evil, Hear no evil", get it?
I've had enough sports cars and fighter planes for a while now, thanks, Hasbro! Man I appreciated the Seacons when they came out. I went to town with my brother just to get the full team gift box.
Seriously; I mean, I get it. It's a pretty easy way to make a bad guy character seem like he's a threat. But it's...It's like beating down Worf or killing a third-string comic character. Nobody cares if you kill Steel; Steel sucks anyway. Nobody cares if you're a tank, the last guy was a tank too.

People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.

I just have to say that, despite what TV tropes may claim, Worf whooped up on plenty of opponents. He wasn't always getting beat up just to show how tough the bad guy of the week was.

That was gonna be a tough one to make a figure of, though. Guy hanging from a ceiling done up in a kind of robe or cape kind of deal, then he turns into a dragon. Great for the show, not really that conducive to a good toy, perhaps.
That said, I sort of like "Not so Mega" Megatron. Not enough to defend it as a good toy, but enough to admit to liking it.
