What are some of the worst interpretations of characters you’ve ever seen in collectible or toy form?
I’ve seen some pretty bad ones, but I’d love to see what others have seen.
While I know this is G1, I can’t help but throw this in here.
That’s Wreck Gar, by the way.
I know that Transformers toys were typically designed before the show, but I have also heard that for the 1986 movie it was sort of the opposite at points.
Most g1 minibots (except for Seaspray, powerglide, beachcomber, and huffer)
G1 Galvatron’s toy
G1 Cyclonus’s toy
Well, those were designed before the show models were created, so I’m not sure how well that applies…
G1 galvatron and cyclonus still stand, however.
To an extant.

I believe no further explanation is necessary.
sums up Episode I
which seems to be embedded in his hand
Well, to be fair, it was gimmicked a bit.
I got a reverse case:
Toy was made first, and the episode used a discarded character model.
Here’s the colored model sheet:
reminds me of Airman in the old Megaman Show
and how Different he looked
Okay, this should speak for itself VERY well.
let’s not forget the Tripredacus council, whose toys came out BEFORE the animation
At least they only showed up for a total of maybe 10 minutes by the time the show ended.
What’s that based on?
Focus on the proportions.
Oh. I guess it’s not too accurate. I just didn’t know what it was.
Man, Transformers can’t seem to get a break
Ah, yes. The infamous Lugnut McDonalds Happy-Mean toy. I still have this. It’s in my room. …Why?!
Oh! I almost forgot about this!
I think the show’s Jetfire looked so different because of legal reasons.
This should explain all.

So I have a few I can think of that aren’t accurate at ALL to their characters:
All of the Max Steel (2013) toys in the US
Bonkle Mask of undarkness
Any American Megazord that came out after 2006 (minus the legacy ones)
That’s all I can think of for now.
