There have been so many discussions on the favorable characters. Let's have some fun: find your least favorable bot and state why. It may remind Kabam of game balance.

Although, I think the benign and caring side of Arcee appeals to me the most
A little off-topic, but I believe a few people mentioned their distaste for the general direction of influenced G1 characters. A prominent example would be Optimus Prime, who takes the form of his Combiner Wars toy instead of a proper representation of the G1 design. I have to say that this is a fairly good point amongst the community. For me (as I have a tendency to mention as much times as I can :P), if Kabam plans on throwing at us a G1 Bumblebee, I'm hoping it isn't something in reverence to Transformers: Devastation, to where he looked a lot like his Classics counterpart than to that of his G1 incarnation. I don't see the problem with not using the Volkswagen Beetle as an alternate form when the licence isn't being used. They managed to do it with Transformers: Battle Tactics (G2 Bumblebee), afterall.
Just wanted to throw that out there. Cheers!
That said, I really do hate Hotrod's animations.
Arcee sadly is my least favorite, because it just bothers me endlessly to look at her. Her arms are extremely long! She doesn't have those arms in G1 or the IDW comics. Whenever she is on screen --which is sadly often, because she is usually in my squad-- I cringe watching those arms move around.
I am sure the artists had good reason to make her arms so long, but it's just unsettling to look at her.
There, that's my superficial reason for mildly disliking Arcee. But I really love all bots, even monkey-armed-Arcee.
Right now he's weak. even at Alliance Missions... yet I still use him as he's the only healer bot. Please add more healer bots! or at least make Rachet somewhat better!
Her and Sideswipe are my underdogs. Neither is particularly good, but they are EXCELLENT at fighting bots 2x their power during matches 8-13 in 4star arena.
But thats most of the issue- they took away most of his healing properties and he is a weak bot both offensively and defensively to begin with. The ONLY real attribute he had was healing to stay in the fight. I have relegated Ratchet to the base defense on the repair module. I beefed up Soundwave for the mission team even though he doesn't sysnergize well with anyone right now.
If you use her like BB, she becomes very dangerous (bob & weave). I'm just not that proficient with Arcee yet, but she can be an amazing long range assassin if used properly and makes her damage deep.
