What toys would you least like to see come to life, if they had to?
While we all have a fave Transformer toy/s that we'd most love to see come to life, what non-Transformers toys you used to have or currently still have, would you least like to see come to life (if it had to) and is there a reason why.

It's my wife's, not mine, but I'd be a little upset if her Kenner Alien Xenomorph came to life. I'm sure I don't really need to explain why! Most of my other non-TF toys are TF adjacent, and generally not as world-ending and day-ruining as that

Some people count cars, computers/video game systems, and power tools as toys. Are those part of this conversation?
Do you mean "come to life" like in "Toy Story", or "Pinocchio", or "The Indian in the Cupboard", or "Small Soldiers"?
(Pretty much all i know about Chucky comes from the cameo in "Ready Player One". Is Chucky relevant to this discussion?)
If the toy has the same abilities, personality, and memories as the character it's meant to resemble, i hope none of my Darth Vaders come to life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenomorph describes "Xenomorph XX121, Internecivus raptus, Plagiarus praepotens" and i get the impression they may have done even more damage than Vader (not counting his complicity in the use of the Death Star), but i also suspect Vader would be harder to stop.
If coming to life just means becoming able to move on their own (a rubber snake can strangle you, but doesn't produce venom, and its fangs probably can't pierce Human skin), i hope my Lego bricks don't turn against me. You ever step on one of those barefoot? Imagine that happening at the top of stairs, or by an open window, or close to the street while a car's driving by, or next to the pool. (Maybe you can swim... if there's water in the pool... or maybe you hit your head and lose consciousness as you fall in.) Plus, some Lego pieces are small enough to swallow, and if they don't choke you, they could assemble themselves into intestinal blockage...
Honorable mentions: https://www.giantmicrobes.com They're like stuffed animals, but instead of looking like an animal, each looks like a germ... the size of my fist. i also have a toy Sun Crusher. Star Wars SPOILER ALERT: The think tank that designed the Death Star went on to create the Sun Crusher, a ship slightly larger than an X-wing (totally different shape though) armed with 11 torpedoes that could each turn a star into a supernova. (It had a hyperdrive, so it could get clear of the explosion, but it was also so well armored it wouldn't have to.) Now, the ship was never alive, or even a thinking machine like a droid, so how does this thread's question apply to it? But i'd worry that an unthinking war machine, brought to life in the sense of becoming able to think, might assume its ability to fire torpedoes implied that it should fire them.

For the purpose of this reply I will pull from what's in the room my computer is at.
Hmm If we are talking fully coming to Life Id' say my haslab Unicron I am pretty sure He would be bad for the planet.. though who knows It might not be interested lol
If its come to like like Toy Story or The Indian in the Cupboard I think Dalek over on the bookshelf could be problematic.
