The 7 Most Useless Transformers Ever

Cracked.com went back in time to discover The 7 Most Useless Transformers Ever (reminds me of the bad-ass, cannon-armed Megatron transforming into a wimpy gun).

#2. Perceptor

Transforms into: A microscope.

Why is he useless?

Perceptor was designed with the sole purpose of going into battle and hanging out with Soundwave to figure out which one was more useless and outdated. It was a real barnburner until Soundwave's tape needed to be turned over and all of his Decepticon pals were busy trying to take over the world.

Perceptor: 1; Soundwave: 0. It should be noted that, though he is the winner, at the end of the day, Perceptor is still a fucking microscope.
