The hardness.
One physical difference is their ductility: transition metals tend to be ductile (can be drawn into thin wires) and malleable (can be hammered into thin sheets), while poor metals are less ductile and malleable.
Metals are located in the left hand side of the periodic table, non metals are located on the right and metalloids are located in between as a 'bridge'.
transition metals are not in any groups, however they are elements between group II & III of the periodic table

Boron is a metalloid, not a metal. Transition metals are metals.
reactivity
One key physical difference between transition metals and poor metals is that transition metals have high melting and boiling points compared to poor metals. Transition metals also tend to be more malleable and ductile, while poor metals are typically softer and have lower melting points.

The early vs. late transition metals differ in their oxidation states (each metal has different possible oxidation states). Electrons have a stronger attraction to the protons in the late transition metals, so the later transition metals form bonds that are harder to break.

Transition metals form ions with incomplete d orbitals.
The transition metals are the ones in the middle of the Periodic Table, between group 2 and group 3. Not sure what you mean by 'Regular Metals', but Iron (Fe) is a transition metal also.

Transition state metals include a wide variety of metals; they include iron, gold, and Mercury which all have strikingly different properties (hard, soft, and liquid, for example). Nonetheless, a comparison can be made between the transition state metals and the alkali and alkaline earth metals; transition state metals are not as chemically active (some transition state metals are actually inert, such as platinum).
transition metals
As we look across the periodic table from left to right, we see metals on the left, transition metals through the middle and nonmetals on the right. What we left out was that group of elements between the transition metals and the nonmetals, and these semimetals are called metalloids.Metaloids have properties that are in between those of transition metals and nonmetals, or perhaps properties that are some combination of those of transition metals and nonmetals. The elements in this group include boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium.
