Let's see... anything up to the first half of 2012 is fair game. Not Prime First Edition though, they're still in use.
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Everytime I look at the Machine Wars figures, I see what should have been-

:BOT: Ultra Magnus, Springer, Hot Rod, Blurr, Kup, Wreck-Gar
:CON: Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge, 3 Sweeps

Which mold do you see Hot Rod in?
If you've read Exodus, wanna read the War For Cybertron comic? PM me.

*each with G1 color schemes

Optimus Prime - Ultra Magnus
Sandstorm - Springer
Mirage/Prowl - Hot Rod/Blurr
Hubcap/Hoist - Kup/Wreck-Gar

Soundwave - Galvatron
Starscream - Cyclonus
Megatron/Megaplex - Scourge
Skywarp/Thundercracker - (3)Sweeps

Anyway, I've always been curious if these would have sold a little better if they had been these characters.

Considering that the Mirage/Prowl, Megatron/Megaplex, and Stalker molds actually bear visual resemblances to Mirage, Megatron, and Soundwave, respectively, in those cases, I doubt it.

Even if Stalker resembling Soundwave was a pure happy accident.

...and the other molds look nothing like Prowl, Starscream, or Hubcap. They could have named them "Cliffjumper", "Thunderwing", and "Grimlock" and no one would have questioned it.

I understand that. You are saying they should be these characters because they "resemble" the originals in some way. I'm saying - Why can't they be these other characters just because they don't resemble the originals? Just because someone's head looks like Soundwave's doesn't mean they couldn't be Optimus Prime... I need to stop drinking before noon.
:D

Also, having these figures be characters from the '86 movie may have had a stronger impact on nostalgic collectors at the time... most of which were living in a world where the only new Transformers were Beast Wars figures. I was one of them... doing awful things in college.
