Seibertron.com Energon Pub Forums

There's a viral template running around Twitter right now, and I'd like to see people here take a stab at it. Design your own Transformers line by choosing characters to feature at each size class.

Original post: https://twitter.com/preterniadotcom/sta ... 7gPjQ&s=19

Images attached, though I may not have preserved the original content correctly.

There are lots of examples on Twitter including themed ones like fembots, IDW, Animated, etc. Personally I'd like to see more Legacy-style mishmashes, but I'm not the boss of you.

I think this is the most appropriate sub-forum since it's about toys, even if it's fancasting, but it can be moved or deleted/reposted as appropriate.

Assuming the numbers on the template are the numbers of waves and not number of figures, considering the template is for the whole line, I'll throw my hat in the ring as a mix of things I want, things I think others want, and some of what seem to be the "rules" for Generations currently:
Titan Class
Tidal Wave
Commander Class
Lugnut
Leader Class
Wave 1: Tigerhawk, Energon Megatron (fills the Megatron requirement, plus I want it)
Wave 2: Depth Charge, Megatron repack
Voyager Class
Wave 1: Obsidian, Beast Hunters Prime (to fill the Optimus requirement)
Wave 2: Bludgeon, Armada Scavenger
Wave 3: G1 Sandstorm, IDW Whirl (Obsidian retool)
Wave 4: Tarn (Bludgeon retool), Optimus repack
Deluxe Class
Wave 1: BW Quickstrike, Mini-Con Combiner (the gimmick figures like the Weaponizers, some would be new characters), Animated Prowl (maybe a Legacy Arcee retool?), G1 Bombshell
Wave 2: Armada Demolishor (Siege Impactor retool/engineering reuse), Mercenary Detritus (Earth retool of Siege Hound w/ new weapons based on TCG design), G1/IDW Drift, Mini-Con Combiner 2
Wave 3: Needlenose (finally), Mini-Con Combiner 3, Armada Hot Shot, Prowl repack
Wave 4: G1 Shrapnel, Armada Sideways, G1 Brawn, Mini-Con Combiner repack
Wave 5: G1 Dogfight (Needlenose retool), Airachnid, Mini-Con Combiner 3 repack, Drift repack
Core Class
Wave 1: Nemesis Prime (Optimus repaint w/ axe), Octopunch, Sari (as was discussed in the Legacy thread)
Wave 2: BW Razorbeast (mostly uses Rattrap's engineering), Blaster (Soundwave repaint/engineering reuse?), Bugly
Wave 3: G1 Ironhide (Ratchet repaint), G1 Thundercracker (Starscream/Skywarp repaint w/ guns), Nemesis repack
Wave 4: Submarauder, Sari repack, Blaster repack

OK, I'll play along, but that template doesn't feel all that realistic so I'm going to do something closer to what we usually get (minus repacks).

Titan: Primus (Biggest Titan, but simplified with lots of panels to keep the price point, still smaller than Unicron. Basically a giant Rodimus that curls into a ball and gets covered with panels.)

Commander: "Star Convoy" Optimus Prime

Leader:
Wave 1- Car Robots Gigatron, Grandus
Wave 2- Six Liner (6 Micromasters and some extra parts)
Wave 3- Skyquake

Voyager:
Wave 1- TM2 Dinobot, Sky Garry
Wave 2- TM Optimus Primal
Wave 3- Polar Claw
Wave 4- Cybertron Starscream

Deluxe:
Wave 1- Needlenose, Backstreet, TM Cheetor, Drift
Wave 2- G2 Rook, Guzzle, Quickmix,
Wave 3- Devcon, Landfill, G1 Override
Wave 4- BM Snarl (TM Cheetor retool), Dogfight

Core:
Wave 1- Galvatron, Rodimus Prime, Cindersaur (a proper one)
Wave 2- Flamefeather, Grimlock
Wave 3- Bludgeon, Sparkstalker

And there's a bunch of repaint options in there as well. Firecons probably wouldn't work great all in the main line so maybe swap some with the other two Sparkabots.

Emerje

I'd call this "Myths and Monsters"

I decided not to show repacks at all, but if you extended the waves, repacks can easily be made:

Titan:
Majn Zarak
Commander:
Deathsaurus
Leader:
Wave 1- Lio Convoy, Galvatron (BWII)
Wave 2-Rampage (BW), Tigerhawk
Voyager:
Wave 1- Blacker, Bludgeon
Wave 2- Braver, Thunderwing
Wave 3- Laster
Wave 4- Alpha Trion
Deluxe:
Wave 1: Icepick, Birdbrain, *(New Autobot Heroic Monster Weaponizer #1), Silverbolt (BW)
Wave 2: Bristleback, *(New Autobot Heroic Monster Weaponizer #2),Horri-Bull, Catilla
Wave 3 Scowl, *(New Autobot Heroic Monster Weaponizer #3),Squeezeplay, Chainclaw
Wave 4: Slog, Wildfly, TM Cheetor, Longtooth

Core:
Wave 1: Backstreet, Crankcase
Wave2: Dogfight, Ruckus
Wave3: Override, Windsweeper

TBH Core class was hardest for me, since they revamped the idea of what "Legends Class" was, none of them interest me. Having smaller/budget friendly toys of mostly popular characters is great for kids, and I get that many adult fans enjoy them as well, they just don't fit in my collection anywhere, so I don't purchase them. I suppose I could have done core class Dinobots, or Insecticons, but I just wanted to throw in something different that hasn't had an update in a while.

Ideally, I'd probably not have core class in my wave, and go back to Micromaster 2 packs, and release many of the cassettes that WFC Soundwave and Blaster are missing.

Sold! You'll probably hate it.

Core
Quintesson Switch Puller

Deluxe

Axer
Tailgate
Hound G1 (Earth Mode)
Quintesson Bailiff

Gears
Outback
Horri-Bull
Windcharger

Nightbeat
Squeezeplay
Brawn
Rad

Hosehead
Bludgeon
Swerve
Treadshot

Voyager

Roadbuster
Dreadwing (Prime)
Sandstorm G1
Magnificus

Leader

Optimus Prime (Armada)
G2 Starscream and BB (might be using the Japanese BWII name)
Thunderclash
Gutcruncher

Commander

Deathzaras

Titan

Metrotitan (new figure which can be remade into Metroplex)

I don't have a particular theme in mind for this, it's just more of a standard all-encompassing Transformers toy line, and this would just be the first year of it:

Core
Wave 1:
Bumblebee (classic G1 design)
Swerve
Kickback

Wave 2:
Skrapnel
Bombshell (the main thing I'd do with the Insecticons is make their insect modes look more like the actual insects they're meant to be, rather than accurate to the G1 designs)
Tailgate

Wave 3:
Brawn (probably just a Swerve retool)
AllSpark Power Bumblebee, with lots of horrible AllSpark blue decals.

Deluxe
Wave 1:
Bumblebee (Bayverse/Prime/Evergreen inspired muscle car design)
Barricade
Hot Rod
Soundwave, with Laserbeak

Wave 2:
Arcee (I'm thinking something similar to her Prime design, but closer than the Legacy toy)
Wheeljack

Wave 3:
Shadowstriker
Cheetor
Night Ops Bumblebee (his mostly black colour scheme from the third season of Prime)

Wave 4:
Tigatron (probably just a Cheetor repaint)
Soundblaster, with Buzzsaw
Ironhide

Voyager
Wave 1:
Optimus Prime
Starscream

Wave 2:
Bulkhead
Megatron (probably based on the cancelled Marauder Megatron toy from Animated)

Wave3:
Thundercracker

Wave 4:
Rhinox

Leader:
Wave 1:
Megatron
Blackout

Wave 2:
Powermaster Optimus Prime

Commander
Devastator, I'm thinking something smaller than the Combiner Wars Titan, with Deluxe sized Constructicons.

Titan
Fortress Maximus, maybe designed in such a way that his base mode looks like Autobot City from the 1986 Movie

Hoo boy, you shouldn't have done that! Now I've got my creative side tinkering

Here's my first two, at least the ones that're (mostly) done (I'll have to do some digging for "Cybertron Underworld", "Space Colonies" and "Multiversal Deviations").

Legends of Cybertron: thematic, focused on the mythical figures of Transformers.
Titan: either Nexus Prime, for a "combiner of combiners" (you know, like Starscream at the end of Combiner Wars, only actually good ); Chela, to finish the trio of original Titans from IDW1; or Dark Nova, for the last planet-robot.
Commander: The Fallen/Megatronus (an upscale of the Evolution gimmick from PoTP and WfC Leaders: a core Leader or Voyager Megatronus based on the Aligned design and a larger Fallen form based on the original DW design. Also, fire blast effects; lots and lots of fire blast effects).
Leader
Wave 1: Autonomus Maximus, Solomus ("mythical" design, with human-scale Matrix mode and chain for wearing).
Wave 2: Prima, Liege Maximo (Evolution-style figure, as a nod to the IDW1 Maximals and their shells, with larger G2-inspired form and Deluxe Aligned-inspired core robot).
Wave 3: Mortilus ("mythical" design), Solus Prime.
Voyager
Wave 1: Onyx Prime, Epistemus ("mythical" design, with brain module mode), Amalgamous Prime (Weaponizer/Modulator/Fossilizer transformation), Scorpius (BW Sandstorm redeco/retool; basically what he would look like if not undercover).
Wave 2: Sagittarii (Onyx Prime retool), Necrobot, Shokaract, Adaptus (either Amalgamous Prime retool or new mod; either way sharing transformation scheme and with T-Cog mode).
Wave 3: Vector Prime, Logos Prime, Cancix (Shokaract retool), Geminator (2-pack Deluxe combiner).
Deluxe
Wave 1: Ariex, Taurotron, Leonicus, Alchemist Prime, Virgol.
Wave 2: Alpha Trion (either retool of Leonicus or Alchemist Prime, or new mold), Quintus Prime, Capricun (Ariex retool), Aquator, Xal.
Wave 3: Libras, Piscor, Hook, Line, Sinker.
Core
Wave 1: Micronus Prime, Primon, Guardian Prime (retool of Kingdom/Legacy Hot Rod), Acolyte of Unicron.
Wave 2: Prime Nova (Five Faces of Darkness design), It (either retool of Kingdom/Legacy Hot Rod, or new mold), The Keeper, Zeta Prime (Five Faces of Darkness design).

Shifter-Builders: gimmick, focused on Shifters, Go-Bots, Stentarians and other omnimode or omnicombination characters. Engineering and transformation as a hybrid of Construct-Bots, Bandai's Mugenbine and WfC Weaponizer/Modulator/Fossilizer. Actual characters include a "Spark" piece with name in Cybertronian and faction symbol for identification, while "Disguise" characters include frame and armor for others to use to disguise as non-Shifter characters.
Titan: Nexus Prime (again, combiner of combiners)
Commander: Amalgamous Prime
Leader
Wave 1: Adaptus, Optimus Prime Disguise.
Wave 2: Megatron Disguise, Aero-Bot.
Voyager
Wave 1: Pseudo, Grimlock Disguise, Starscream Disguise, Paddox (multi-pack Core combiner).
Wave 2: Infinite, Strong-Bot, Beast-Bot, Shockwave Disguise.
Wave 3: Preditron (Beast-Bot redeco), Animated Shockwave/Longarm Prime, Skyfall (read his bio, it makes sense even if just as a joke), Soundwave Disguise.
Deluxe
Wave 1: Makeshift, Wheeljack Disguise, Bumblebee Disguise, Autobot Create-A-Bot, Strongarm Disguise.
Wave 2: Mercury, Drift Disguise, Sideways, Decepticon Create-A-Bot (Autobot Create-A-Bot retool), Arcee Disguise.
Wave 3: Mutacon (Mercury retool), Hound Disguise, Buzzer-Bot, Barricade Disguise, Speed-Bot.
Core
Wave 1: Imperius Drax, Ammonite (based on 16444/9's components, can self-combine like Siege Refraktor), Movie Protoform, BW II Combatant.
Wave 2: Terradore (Imperius Drax retool), Heavytread, Runway, Windshear.

So I just filled in the image, but anyway:



Titan: Cybertron Menasor. Amazing design, and given we're getting Cybertron Metroplex it makes sense for him to have a good "nemesis".

Commander: Armada Optimus Prime. RELEASE HIM ALREADY TAKARA...ahem.

Leaders: Armada Megatron and BWN Big Convoy. Armada Megatron is one of my all time favourite Megatron designs, also if Prime is in the line it would be good to have him too. Big Convoy meanwhile is just cool, and I'd be interested to see what a reasonably faithful reimagination could do. I kinda wanted him in TR as a Leader, going from robot to mammoth to "bone hut" base mode.

Voyagers: Cybertron Vector Prime, Animated Shockwave, Animated Blitzwing and Armada Scavenger. Vector Prime is a pretty important character and a very cool design, and I'm surprised the best he's gotten has been that one Prime Master. Animated Shockwave is awesome, a really cool, different take on Shockwave, and would be nice to see given the "RTS Lugnut" treatment. Same with Animated Blitzwing, who IMO is 10 times more interesting as a character than the G1 version. Armada Scavenger meanwhile is a nice design and a badass character whose OG toy has not aged...gracefully, and it would be great to get a new one.

Deluxes: Armada Demolishor, RID2015 Strongarm, Armada Sideways, Energon Skyblast, Cybertron Thunderblast. Demolishor is a great design, to the point where articulation aside his OG toy still LOOKS great, and a new, faithful figure would be awesome. Strongarm needs a good Gen-style toy like yesterday; she's one of the coolest fembot designs we've had in a while and the fact she's stuck with not very good figures is a crime. Sideways has been overdue since TR, being central to Armada's plot and a really nice design with a cool gimmick. Skyblast is just a nice looking Autobot "grunt", and whilst his OG toy looks cool the lack of knees hurts him. Thunderblast meanwhile is a hilarious character lumped with a questionably designed yet highly desirable toy, and a slightly less shellformery design would do her wonders.

Cores: Street Action Minicon team, Destruction Minicon Team, Space Minicon Team, Air Military Minicon team. I like Minicons, seeing them return would be amazing, and these 4 are some of my favourite teams. Not much more to say.

Three down, three (or more) to go!

Huh, I was hoping someone would've made their own contribution or commentary by now so I wouldn't have to doublepost.

...Anyway:

Space Colonies: focused on the many colony worlds of Transformers. Every character has two insignias, one for their faction and one for their colony, and comes with a backdrop of sceneries from their planet. Colonies will share a design element to represent their evolution in their current planet and separate from Cybertron, either as a gimmick or thematic:
- Junkion (backdrops based on G1) have interchangeable armor pieces and limbs, representing how they can be cobbled together and easily fixed with junk
- Velocitron (backdrops based mostly on Cybertron) have race vehicle modes and are aerodinamic in both modes; some have also an intermediate "speed mode" using parts of their vehicle mode in robot mode (think Animated Bumblebee when skating around on his wheels)
- Devisiun (backdrops based on IDW 2005) have vehicle-mode combination or divide into multiple components in alt-mode
- Combatron (backdrops based on Cybertron) have heavy built-in armament in both modes or are Mini-Con teams (4 bots per team, less with added accessories and bases)
- Gigantion (backdrops based on Cybertron) are all Leader or larger construction vehicles, with two robot modes - a regular "brute mode" and larger true robot mode - and a Mini-Con partner; or are Mini-Con teams (4 bots per team, or smaller teams with added accessories and bases)
- Hub Empire (backdrops based mostly on G2) are futuristic military vehicles
- Caminus (backdrops based on IDW 2005) are more ornate in robot mode
- Micron (backdrops combining Japanese-exclusive G1 Micro/Zone and IDW 2005 Prion and Gorlam Prime) are Micromasters and Mini-Con teams (4 bots per team, or smaller teams with added accessories and bases)
- Jungle (backdrops combining Cybertron's Animatron, IDW 2005's Eukaris and WfC Trilogy's Biosfera) have technorganic beast-modes
- Lithone (backdrops based on G1) have snap-on rock/crystal armor and weapons (a reference to their original concept as rock creatures)
- Paradron (backdrops based mostly on G1) have little to no weapons and are designed for exploration and civil services
- Dominius (backdrops based mostly on Japanese-exclusive G1 Master) are Head-, Target- or Powermasters, with the larger figures explicitly using a Transtector suit
- Omnitron (backdrops based on Energon) are Omnicons with Energon Weapons and Stars or have Energon's Powerlinxing/combination gimmicks
- Antilla (backdrops based mostly on G1) have animal-themed weaponry and tools like the Lightning Bug
- Aquatron (backdrops based on Aligned) have marine beast modes
- Arduria (backdrops based on IDW 2005) have red light-piping across their bodies to simulate internal heat and snap-on ice armor (a reference to the Ore-6 from IDW 2005)
- LV-117 (backdrops based on IDW 2005) are organic
- Neutronia (backdrops based on Aligned) are Weaponizers/Modulators to represent their Shifter abilities
- Theophany (backdrops based on IDW 2005) have aesthetics similar to Japanese-exclusive Transformers and carry Great Swords
- Vehicon (backdrops based on Robotmasters) carry tools, weapons and bases which interact with the characters in multiple ways (representing the planet's automated infrastructures)
- Carcer (backdrops combining the IDW 2005 Titan Carcer/Vigilem and the unnamed Garnak colony from Combiner Wars #4) are highly militarised in design and can detach parts of their bodies to form structures and tools (representing their self-salvaging)
