Muchas gracias to Mob for the Sig, proving why he's called 'King'.
The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.

Character
I personally found Sunstorm uninteresting and annoying. Especially annoying.
Story
'The Prime Directive'. Ugh.
Writer
I guess that one goes to Chris S.
Artist
Rob Ruffolo. The horror...
Single issue
I'll go with 'Transformers/G.I.Joe' #6. I enjoyed the series very much, and this... kind of killed it.
Series
I guess Micromasters had less good points than Generation 1.
Cover
The covers to 'War And Peace' #1. Bumblebee's feet. And Megatron's cannon.
Anything else
The attitude some of DW's employees presented in interviews and their press releases. "We the best thing there is on the face of the world, you fans are a bit stupid. Marvel did Transformers?" Though I admit that they summarized Furman's accomplishments pretty good in last letter pages in Energon.

Worst character?
Sarracini’s Armada Kids. Thank Primus for Mr. Furman, he did a far better work with the trio.
Worst story?
Many people has said Micromasters, but at least its premise was cool, the series failed due to its poor development and terrible art. The RID one-shot… it has nothing redeemable.
Worst writer?
Sarracini, he had some good moments ‘tough.
Worst artist?
Rob Ruffolo as penciler. But we gotta hand it to the man, his colors were great.
Worst single issue?
Armada #3: almost a complete issue dedicated to those pesky kids?
Worst series?
Micromasters
Worst cover?
G1 vol 2 # 1. Pick any cover.
Worst anything else?
Lees= worst bosses ever.
And where the Pit was the editor? Mr. “Brick”, We know you loved the G1 toon (we all do it) but ¿having the same continuity issues?
