I've wanted something along those lines since the days of Armada, when Minicons and gimmicks replaced hand-held weapons. But I've pretty much given up on them. Aside from Minicons turning into weapons, of course.

Hey now, Targetmasters are great.

But yeah, triple-changers REALLY need updated. Not counting the Dotm HA Basic 'Targetmasters', we haven't had a good triple changer for a few years. Also not counting TFA Blitzwing because it's awful, the last new mold was Universe 2.0 Octane, I believe.

Well, technically RotF Soundwave is a triple changer...but it's more like all of the modes are bad, Mixmaster has a turret mode that doesn't work particularly well, and tfwiki says there was a triple changing Megatron from the same line, which one was it?

I, for one, would REALLY like to see an update to G1 Sixshot and Quickswitch. For bricks, they were engineered pretty well, I'd love to see how they could be done with more modern techniques.

Indeed they are. Which is why Hasbro should release Arms Minicons.


Question though. How would you guys think a modernized team of Seacons would be like?

I think they would look best if they had Beast Wars Transmetals-like aesthetics with HA basic-style weapon modes and FoC Bruticus-style limb modes.

^ Nailed it. Though I definitely think that they should go with metallic paint rather than chrome. xD I mean, it looks really good, but when I'm having so much chrome flaking on a few of my old transmetals and BM figures, ESPECIALLY poor Ultra class Jetstorm, made worse by the fact that his entire upper torso is chromed. x.x;

that would be nice. the only one it would not work for though is devestator, his body is made of 6 bots as apposed to 5 like the others.

we do have foc bruticus to look forward to. I'm going into joyafolific shock in anticipation.

And presumably, if it does well, we'll see more of the scramble city combiners.
