For the Blitzwing lover, they did mention that they wanted to cover all the triple changers.

Now it would be awesome if that included Trypticon, Metroplex, Fort Max, Scorponok, Quickswitch, and Sixshot!!!! Octane looked like a FABULOUS concept. I'm very looking forward to the new ideas.

They said a couple things that are noteworthy:

-They want molds that they can use over again. Prowl is a prime candidate since Starscream has already been done.

-They said that they recognize that there are more characters than just the Season 1 and Season 2 bots, so perhaps the later season 2, the movie, and following the movie may see some love...

I love the idea of a new Predaking combiner set. BRING IT ON!

Also it looked like they were using the same non-descript car design for both Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, just one red and one yellow, and of course there were similarities to them, and the difference that there characters showed (heads, missile launchers, thruster/engine vents behind Sunstreaker's head).

I'm so happy for Sideswipe and Streaker. I welcome any of their ideas... I know we all want certain ones, but its nice to know they are continuing it.

this is awesome congrats to everyone who bought the classics and showed hasbro what we wanted

I need a job. Then, I can buy all the Classics I can find.

Classics Arcee and Galvatron would do it for me. I guess they're my favorite Season 3 characters.

I want a sharkticon and a "Sweep" two pack. That would be an awesome army builder And some Quintessons too!

I like the troop builder idea...

Generic seekers could do the same thing: Lavendar, green, black, grey, and Sunstorm of course...

I don't know how well generic repaints would go over. Most people liked the seekers because they had a personality. And a lot of people really dislike repaints. I think the only real reason the Seekers sell is because they are unique characters and even repaint haters can get past the fact that they are in fact the same toy. I look at most repaints and just see the same character in another color. For some reason I look at Starscream and Skywarp and they look completely different. Which is weird I know, but I have a feeling I wouldn't buy the repaints, unless they had one that looked close enough to TC without breaking the exclusive agreements.

On the other hand if the troop builder packs were cheap enough maybe. Make them a smaller basic or deluxe of the larger figures. If scourge is a voyager make the sweeps deluxes with the same basic design scaled down. eh maybe not. But i don't think a swarm of repaints would go over well with the majority of the fandom.

You speak wisely...for a Klingon! I'm kidding. What you say makes great sense, I was just dreaming out loud again. However, I would not put the kibosh on a Sunstorm repaint. We know how much HASBRO and WALMART love Sunstorm.

here is hoping for a ironhide/ratchet

Man, this is great news! I'd love to see a Trailbreaker figure done for this line. As far as the combiner, bring on Piranacon!!!!

I'd love a classics Ironhide since the original G1 version doesn't look anything like the cartoon counterpart.
