I did not bought much from 3rd party. They are so expensive and there's so much official Transformers to buy. The only ones I have are Delicate Warrior and Hegemon. I bought these so I can have my show accurate G1 Arcee and Megatron. Yes, I do know that the main reason to buy 3rd party is to have these classics in toy form.

Still, Transformers is more than just G1. There's so many universes to explore, so many characters without toys.

Just for the Bayverse, people wish for a leader Blackout and DotM Megatron for a long time. 3rd party would be the way to go if anyone would bother to do them. Obscure G1 characters have been made like that kunoichi cyborg or the Quinteson's bailiff. So, why not make Beast Machine's Botanica? How about a show accurate Beast Wars Blackarachnia?

So, what is the figure from a 3rd party company you wish for that is NOT from G1?

For me, I will gladly pay hard cash for a Leader movie Blackout, a Leader DotM Megatron, and a fully transformable Animated Elita-One. Oh yeah, because Devastator is so popular, why not having an Animated Devastator combiner with ALL the Animated constructicons?

How about these for the Bayverse:

Jungle Strike Bumblebee (green camo deco)

Artic Frost Bumblebee (Ice blue faded to clear plastic deco)

Molten Flameblast Bumblebee (red deco with flames)

Breast Cancer Awareness Bumblebee (pink with ribbons on the doors)

(Then make a line of Primes in the same deco)


Seriously, I cant think of many meaningful Bayverse characters that didnt get a figure except for Dino (Mirage) and the other two Dreads. And if you count the cancelled Target release of DOTM deluxe Leadfoot, that makes four. Do you want a Transforming soda machine ???

First and Foremost..

LEADER BLACKOUT!

HA Topspin figure, or kit, to complete the Wreckers.
Voyager sized Dreads, either walking, or Hatchet version.
Dino
Leader Prime accurate DOTM Jet pack kit


When It comes to Beast Wars.. eh that's hard to imagine, the CGI renders weren't very complicated, as were the robot bodies. I think if we just got a replacement head 3rd P offering for the bot modes that would better then original, but as far as making better figures? You'd have to sacrifice a mode, and that would render the point useless.

I'd rather see completely new and original designs based on the fluid design of Transformers, with the real world counter parts, like a G1 meets Micheal Bay. Vehicle forms very detailed, bot forms blockier, and g1-esque.

lets see...

a actual Space shuttle, that looks like the real Shuttle, but transforms into.. Sky Lynx, make the Fuel tank and boosters turn into Lynx.

g2 Megatron using the M1 Abrams

Heck, If TFC just painted the Uranus Jets with real world colors, I'd be all over them.

I'm done with G1 colors, give me some new characters, make them actually be disguised.

Jeez, so much Bayverse is yet to be made.
Where are you when everyone is clamoring for a Leader Blackout and a Leader DotM Megatron?

At that list, I could add Human Alliance DotM Topspin, Human Alliance DotM Crankcase and I want my freacking Cyberverse DotM Driller (Shockwave's pet) that is in scale.

On second thought, so much greatness from DotM have not been made into toy.

By the way, that failed Bumblebee joke would have worked if the topic was about "what do you think is coming from Hasbro".

I'd like to see that too. The only problem would be to get the licenses, but they can go the "close enough2 approach.

My sister's boyfriend would like a Harrier Jet that transform. You know, the plane who can take off and land vertically?

I, myself yould love to have.... ME! Look at my signature!

The characters you named all have figures. (except driller) The problem is you dont like the size that Hasbro chose to release them in. Im talking about characters that have seen no figures at all.

And anyone who mentions Bayverse toys gets an automatic Bumblebee joke...

True that. I could still say the same about most G1 characters that have been made into 3rd party. People want them a certain way and are ready to pay a premium for that. G1 Devastator was a great figure by itself, yet HasTak made a few remakes of it and there's at least TWO classic Devastator figures on 3rd party. Why? People wanted it bigger, more detailed, and more articulations. Me and others want Blackout, Megs, and Topspin bigger for the same reasons.

As for the Bumblebee joke, lemme tell you it apply a lot to TF Prime too. Especially in Canada... sigh...

This picture is from last July. It's still not much better over here. Still no traces of TF Prime Deluxe wave Two...
But we're getting off topic.

I understand your point. But the big difference between Hasbro classics Devy and TFC Hercules is cartoon accuracy. Voyager Blackout is movie accurate. I guess Hasbro didnt feel he was important enough to get a leader class figure. (dont ask me about leader class Brawl)

The reason I dont collect TF Prime is because it is just Bayverse all over again but for kids. All the way down to Bumblebees stupid unfixable voicebox. And how is it Ironhide isnt even in the cartoon and he has an original mold ? But no repaint of Skyquake or an original Smokescreen mold ?

You're in luck friend, TFC's Uranus will have "not slingshot" which is a AV-8B Harrier II, so one is coming.. just in g1 style colors.

I agree with Prime Bee. Why he still bleep? AND THEY MAKE HIM BLEEP IN FOC! Jeez Bee's talking was not THAT annoying in G1... Still, I like the Prime desing. It's a perfect blend of all of the TF universes.
Also, it's just a matter of time before Ironhide enter the cartoon and Smokescreen, the toys. By the way, Prime is not so "for kids" as you might think. It's the first time in TF Cartoon history that we have so much graphic TF death on screen and human death off screen.

Voyager Blackout is nice, but it's not really movie accurate. Especially the backpack. Beside, he's WAY too small.

By the way.... 3rd parties CAN make Bayverse figures that never appeared on screen and/or are not supposed to exist in that universe. I want THAT in leader size:
