Which character, that seems to be very popular with the overall fanbase, do you just absolutely hate?
For me there's a couple: Dr. Mindbender - I have never liked this character: figure, comics or cartoon. Even the DDP version, which is better looking, I still never liked. I could care less if he ever gets made. Serpentor - I refused to get him as a kid. I would have refused to get him now, but I wanted the Armadillo. I won't get the single-carded one at all, EVER. Dreadnoks - I like the concept, never liked the look. The main 3 annoy the hell out of me. Duke - I don't know why, but I never have liked Duke. Always more of a Flint fan and thought he should have been higher then Duke.

BATS were also never my favorite, thought the concept was silly and the vintage figure kinda lame, but the singlepack 25th version is frankly a masterpiece.

Airborne wasn't a popular character, so he doesn't count.
I wasn't a B.A.T. fan either, the 25th one does rock though just because of the detailing and look of it. Still don't like the concept.

I never had a big problem with Duke, but I always treated Flint as higher ranking than him anyway, since Flint was a Warrant Officer and Duke a sergeant. (It's my understanding that the Warrant Officers are generally considered higher in rank than NCOs but lower than an O-1)

For me there's a couple: ... Serpentor - I refused to get him as a kid. I would have refused to get him now, but I wanted the Armadillo. I won't get the single-carded one at all, EVER. ... But I must add, for me, BATs! In both cases, the reason is the same: I want human characters, at least somewhat realistic. Serpentor is over the top, and robot warriors are too. (Both are being worked on, though, I'm sure!) Most of the other characters unpopular with me never make the top tier, so I won't include 'em. I also won't include the ones that other people seem to like somewhat more than me, or the one or two with hideous repaints that I otherwise like. But: very popular with fans but hated by me? Serpentor tops that list. Matthew |

mind-blender he was another excuse to have a character parade around with a fake german /european accent he was by all accounts a joke to me , dr.venom would have been much better or even professor appel the cg .
the toy was so stupid the only thing cool about the toy was that cape he came with that almost automatically was destined to go on cobra commander as soon as i got the stupid thing and yes i did have a dr.mindbender figure |

Shipwreck and Bazooka.
Boring looking characters that were given 'interesting' personalities in the cartoon. I didn't watch a ton of the cartoon, so I was kind of surprized to see that these guys have a following at all. |
