Time to get the ball rolling ... here are my personal worst 3 transformers.

#3: Rodimus Prime

Price paid: 2 @ $14, 4 @ $8
eBay value: $25 to $30 shipped

Let me start off and say, wtf is Rodimus Prime? Some sort of futuristic winnebago? Honestly, take a look at the figure ... there are no points of articulation, it's red and orange, and he looks stoned.

Amazon.com did him a favor ...

#2: e-Hobby Detritus

Price paid: $20.50
eBay value: $40 shipped

This is truly the worst repaint I've ever seen. When I say worst, I'm not limiting myself to e-Hobby ... I'm talking all of G1, RID, Armada, Energon, and Cybertron. He's tan and taupe ... just like Ben Stiller's tux in Something About Mary. The packaging is nice, you can see all the accessories, but the figure is ... tan and taupe. :a:

#1: Energon Dinobots

Price paid: $20 (misb set), $10 (loose set)
eBay value: $60 (misb set), $35 (loose set)

Holy hell, these are the worst Transformers I've ever seen. Somehow, this was supposed to pay hommage to the G1 figures ... Hasbro, not Takara, marketed this as Dinobots 2005, the way G1 should have been. Well, Grimlock looks like a Hulk-a-Maniac in his yellow and red. Swoop is mostly made out of hinges and ball joints, I could whip the figure around it'll flex like string cheese.

These figures were purely made by Hasbro USA. With the BinalTech team not aiding in new Alternator development, this might be a shot of the near future ... yikes.
