TERRIBLE to fight, TERRIBLE to use

Is it just me or are there Bots that are GENERALLY terrible/annoying to fight, and weirdly terrible to use? (I get some pros will weigh in that they can best any bot, but there were surely a few that did your head in at the start)
And Easy to beat, but AWESOME to use?
Here are my TERRIBLE/TERRIBLE s:
- Ultra Magnus (dances like it's 1999)
- Grindor (Tacts make it simple)
- Soundwave (not too terrible to use)
- Waspinator (i hate you)
- Jetfire (if using a demo)
- Shockwave
Easy/Awesome:
- Megatronus
- G1 Megatron
- MV Megatron
- G1 Prime
- Primal
- Motormaster
- Cyclonus
- Prowl
- Barricade
- Arcee
- IronHide

Agree with all your points.
UM for me, i just end up spamming the AI.
Can't get him to fight 'beautifully'
Soundwave IS awesome, but i can't replicate his constant shocks or reflect ability as consistently as the Ai.
Jetfire and Wasp are super fast and ninja like to fight, but when i use em....
OGP, IH, Ratchet, MV1, Prowl
Demotron is in the easy/terrible list (along with Hound, Jetfire and Mixmaster)
WHAT?!?!
THESE ARE THE HARDEST OF THEM ALL!
Okay, my opinions:
Ultra Magnus: Ultra is hard to go against if you are mainly melee, as his shields make him take almost no damage, and I almost never use ranged attacks, and I have to purposely use them from time to time, which is extremely annoying, and not to mention the fact that the shields work against most Specials.
Grindor: Grindor is good with lots of power, and can inflict Crit Down and gain a lot of armor. Grindor’s Special 2 is only good when you are close to getting a Special 3, but when you use it correctly it can take up to 50% of the health of a bot with about the same C.P..
Soundwave: Soundwave... I have mixed feelings about him, but he is definitely a bot who shouldn’t be on a bad list. Can someone else cover him? Thanks.
Waspinator: Wasp is one of the bots on my main team. I’m trying to rank him up. Why would I rank him up instead of my dupped Ironhide? Well, that’s because I know how to use Wasp, and when you use his Resistance Down correctly, you can deal MASSIVE damage.
Jetfire: I agree, but suck at blocking. I am really good at dodging, and he is the second bot that made me alter my playstyle (first was Tantrum). For me, personally, he has pretty much zero potential, but I can see how someone who can block really well can use him really well.
Shockwave: He’s good! He can do a lot of damage, and can apply Shock. If he and Wheeljack combined the bot would be my idea of Tech. I mean, if you don’t generate shock charges, he’s useless, but he can still undo damage. It’s a really good idea to let the enemy hit you so you can generate power while Undo is charging.
And you forgot Hound.

What I mean by this, is that with the bots I didn't mention, I feel like it will be an easy fight most times. When I face the bots in this list, I need to concentrate, unless my PI is favourable.
For some reason, the AI for the bots that I've listed is insanely good, whereas the others seem to have a dumber/more predictable fighting style.
But my main gripes are UM, Hound and Jetfire.
Even duped, they're cumbersome ... When good ol Ai takes control...they gain +20% ninja speed.
Easy kills, but man they're QUICK
I’ve used Waspinator for years and feel like Kabam slowed him down a bit recently and i don’t know why -_- when I fight Primal in AM, I find Hot Rod a lot more smoother and quicker to dodge than Waspinator is
I think you should have gone with the list of bots you like fighting against.
1. Ultra Magnus 5*
2. Grindor 5*
3. Ramjet 4*+
4. Waspinator 3, 4, 5*
5. Barricade 3, 4, 5*
6. Jazz
7. Sideswipe
8. Arcee/Hound 4*+
9. Mixmaster 4, 5*
10. Primal
I have most of those XD
Yea, but i bet you can't make them dance like the Ai.
Definitely beatable, but WHERE'D THEY LEARN TO MOVE LIKE THAT!

I agree. I've had a 5* UM for a bit now and am about to start leveling him. He's priceless against Primal. Wipes the floor with him.
What level is yours? I'd love to see a 3/30s stats
Came across Arcee. 4* dupe, just 2300Pi.
No problem for R2 5* Grindor, right?
Whack, whack, hah she's down to 25%, she pulls off her SP1.
I'm STUNNED.
And she keeps on doing this, her SP1 keeps regenerating, and i can't do nowt as she keeps stunning, SP1, stunning...
I exit game when I'm down to 40%, come back and finish her off with 1 shot.
WTF
Why can't my arcee do that?!? Mine's been duped 7 times!
She wasn't a boss character or had any mods.
That'll teach me variety
My Windblade was able to do that.
Like any honest, good-natured player would, I abused it.
Was still pretty cool, though.
Hopefully I don’t get banned.
AM Map 3, no mods. 2nd battle ground.
On her 3rd SP1 attack, she even managed to charge till SP2!
@DrShotgun I haven't even gotten mine to level 10 r1 XD
just don't get hit by it...
Arcee is the hardest bot to fight for me, followed by Blaster, then Galvatron.
The rest are fine. The only bot that I can't seem to use like the AI do is Arcee, but that may be because of the evade mechanic.
if you fight her linked, she will stun you on the last hit of her special. Same with BC.
Can't believe you've actually put one of the best Techs in that list. He's both amazing to use and easy to defeat, as the AI is utter garbage in using its abilities.
I understand that a ton of people love Ratchet, Shockwave, Mirage, etc.
Just not me.
In fact, my list of bots which I'm not particularly fond of, reads:
UM
Waspinator
Drift
Hound
Mirage
Ratchet
Primal
Grimlock
Shockwave
Starscream
Megatronus
Plus i actually am pretty useful with, and ENJOY:
Mixmaster
Arcee
Barricade
Motormaster

Galvatron
G1 Megs
G1 Prime
Bonecrusher
Rhinox
Galvatron
Cheetor
Blaster
Prowl
Jazz
MV1 Prime
MV Megs
Bludgeon
ALL SHARKS
Just a matter of taste/playing style
I personally have to disagree with Shockwave. His synergies are amazing and will generally take out any Demo-bot, making him an ace in the hole during daily demo missions.
OK I see, it comes from lane 4, special stun.
