To put out 40 figures it's not going to be all deluxes, might be a few bigger figures but I'm guessing most will be the smaller size classes. Given that, I'd kind of like to see what HasTak can come up with in the way of Insecticons at commander size. I've got the Causality guys and they look great with the likes of Henkei Megs and the MP Seekers but they are bigger than I'd hoped for, as I was wanting something that looked good alongside the Classics Seeker mould and commander sizing would fit the bill (plus be cheap enough to troop build :KREMZEEK: ). I'd happily take the season 1 guys, Diaclone repaints and retools/different moulds for the Deluxe Insecticons too. Maybe Runabout and Runamuck (sharing a mould) at commander size too? Although this next batch of Generations might be too soon after the club releases to do main line versions.

Blitzwing is sorely needed at deluxe scale to match Astrotrain and Octane/Tankor. Even if we ended up with a less than awesome toy I'd still be looking at grabbing a shiny TT version for Blitzwing and a half dozen Hasbro offerings as Blitzkrieg drones. Throw in an Overcharge repaint and I'd probably consider troop building a squad of those too.

Official versions of the MTMTE Rainmakers and purple generic Seekers would be nice (and perversely cheaper than the KOs) although probably unlikely. The Classics Seeker mould must already have about as many variant releases as just about anything in TF history. In either case 3 packs would make sense, although I'm not sure Hasbro would be confident of 3 of the same mould as a set selling well, even if they have given us a 3 pack of the same character with that 'perennial favourite' Bumblebee before today.

My wishlist is really all about the smaller scaled 'cons (tanks and jets at deluxe scale) as it's this subset of figures that I'm really trying to use to show off the Decepticons as an army rather than a rag tag gang.

I'm gonna be in the minority on this but:

All of the Headmasters. Especially Brainstorm, Chromedome and Snapdragon. Highbrow and Mindwipe from the movieverse really don't count. I know the instructions for Warpath showed a Hardhead head so there's that.

All of the original character Targetmasters. We've seen the five that were from previous years but what about the other six? (Cybertron Slugslinger again doesn't count)

The Autobot Powermasters. Movieverse Breakaway was a great homage to Getaway, I'd love to see a Joyride and Slapdash to go with him.

Rotorstorm. And a Classics-style Ironfist. Also Snare, Flash, Boss and Flame from the late Euro-only era.

Armada Sideways. He was a fantastically original and creepy character and a figure of him with elbows and knees would be great.

Motto: "I burn and I plunder as it suits my desire."
Weapon: Fireball Cannon
The Dinobots. Everyone knows robot dinosaurs sell well. I can't seem them passing up the oppurtunity to make at least Grimlock with his FoC design.

Ironfist. After LSotW, who doesn't want an updated version of him?

For that matter, everyone from LSotW.

Broadside. He would be terribly out of scale as a Deluxe, but he hasn't had a new figure made of him at all.

A reissue of Classics Skywarp.

Sunstorm, since the Classics Seeker mold can't be used without making at least two of them.

Roadbuster. Could easily be retooled from Ironfist.

Personally I want to see a Classics-styled movie Leadfoot.

I agree with this and add in the Pretenders as well. Have the Pretender shells be a bit poseable and some detail to the figures would be nice. I also think that since Runabout and Runamuck were given proper figures that weren't complete bricks, then the same should be done for the Duocons, the Throttlebots and the Jumpstarters.

I's love to see the Throttlebots done with posability. Even if they were just retools of Classics Bumblebee it would be cool.

Okay, there's a definite argument for there being smaller size classes included. I'd hope we don't see any Legends being passed off as Generations, unless they're able to find a way to make the former-Casseticons work with modern alt-modes, and a deluxe Soundwave (or voyager) to interact with them.

I could live with a bunch of Commander/Scout class guys though.

I'll second the call for Headmasters and Targetmasters. Not sure how the Headmaster gimmick would look if it was a minicon-size head on a deluxe size body though. I'd probably be mostly okay with just the TF characters themselves, to be honest. Would love a Needlenose, Spinister, Chromedome, Brainstorm, Mindwipe, Hardhead (I'm not really a fan of the Universe/IDW look) etc, etc. It wouldn't even bother me too much if the Headmasters were changed to be more like PCCs, with the little buys just being add-on Minicons instead of the heads. Would make a new type of Fort Max more appealing.

I'd like to see more Pretenders characters. Wouldn't have to be actual Pretenders so to speak, the way Thunderwing, Skullgrin and Bludgeon have turned out has been fine. I'd love a Catilla, Carnivac, Stanglehold and Octopunch to add to my collection. Stranglehold could be a tank of some kind, and Octopunch a submarine, or even an octopus.

Dinobots, be they WFC/FOC inspired or not would be good. I'd actually be quite happy with a pre-Swoop version of him as Divebomb, from the G1 comic flashback story. That was a pretty cool alt-mode. I use MP Grimmy for my Classics version, a deluxe would be too small IMO, but voyager would work much better in robot mode. Snarl and Sludge are the only two I can't see selling that well.

Predacons...Razorclaw and his guys...would be very welcome too. This would be my preferred follow-up to the Bruticus combiner. And I've said it before, and I'll say it again, there are more than a few repaint options for them.

I'm more than familiar with losing out on toys late in a line due to distribution here in the UK, and whilst I personally have no interest in movie Soundwave, Que or those guys, it would be nice for people who do collect movieverse stuff to be able to get these, so I'd definitely stick them in the Gen line, if there's to be no Movie Trilogy line. Of course, they might keep them til TF4, but that's a long time to wait.

Last oddball choice is to do some more HA basics priced as deluxes for the Generations line. They needn't even be true HA toys, but I'd like to see HA human figures of the G1 toon humans. Spike, Daniel, Marissa, Dr. Arkeville, etc.

edit: SCRATCH THAT - Last oddball choice is more transforming versions of Action Master only characters. I want a Roll-Out that transforms dammit!

:BOT: I think Diem hit the nail on the coffin with generations having some of the latter part of G1...headmasters, powermasters, and maybe even some action masters. Over-Run was one of my favs and it would be sweet to see some of the action masters with vehicles done modern. Of course you have to add the dinobots and blitzwing...and what about Omega Supreme or Sky Lynx. Now i know its just wishful thinking for Hasbro to do something that big but come on..Omega would sell!! And Sky Lynx? What kid or transformers fan doesn't like a spaceship that transforms into a bird of prey and a lynx. And what about some of the micromasters. They would be cool to be in the generation line. I'm not to keen on pretenders..their transformers so i like em but their probably on last on the list for me. Blaster would be cool to be in generations too (i know, i know he's already been released but i don't count him as he is a spacejet and not a boombox..come on Hasbro, where's your imagination!) And last but not least....the gesalts...i.e protectobots, technobots, stunticons, terricons, and seacons...these guys would fly off the shelves. I know Hasbro has the combaticons from TF Fall of Cybrertron coming out but i'm kinda on the fence about them. I'll have to wait for better pics and some vids before i'm in on them. Its gonna be hard to beat FP Bruticus. Well that's my list...besides the idea that Hasbro just could start over from the beginning of G1 and do a whole new line of generation with all the G1 transformers..LOL.
