If they plan some remoulding of the heads and a few other key features it could be very nice.


So we're essentially talking about the MakeToys Battle Tanker series, but with even more add-on parts. I'm cool with that. :D

Originally, Ultra Magnus WAS supposed to be Optimus Prime's first Super Mode. So, to see Mr Magnus come back as a white OP with a trailer that become his normal self would indeed be nice.

I'd like a Prime Megatron in a size larger than Voyager.

Hell, I'd like more big Decepticons in general. It seems like nearly all of the big toys are Autobots nowadays.

one of the biggest problems I've had with the franchise in general (and one where the movies sort of got it right) is that there are usually more Autobots, and they've got bigger guys with more firepower. It's not really very heroic if there are 20 of you and half of them are bigger than the largest of the 10 guys you're fighting. Prime at least has Vehicons (and Insecticons) to bulk out the Con forces.

Animated also had the Decepticons generally be bigger and badder than the Autobots, and most of the Autobots not be part of the main cast... On the other hand, Cybertron got really ridiculous about accumulating more and more Autobots, not adding Decepticons, and not keeping the Decepticons it DID feature with the group.

But we're talking about toys, not shows, and the reality is, the toylines could use more and larger Decepticons nowadays. The addition of the Predacons in Beast Hunters has helped even things up a little, but one of the things that makes Transformers different from other action figure lines is that it actually gives you bad guys, and I'd like them to keep it up.

Well, Generations FoC included 11 Autobots (not including the so far unreleased, perhaps cancelled, Wrecker repaints) and 17 Decepticons, so that particular recent subline was rather 'con heavy. And, like you said, Beast Hunters is evening the odds with Predacons, and we are getting that nice, big Supreme Predaking.

You mind giving me a count-out? I feel like I must be missing something, btcause I was sure FoC had just a tiny smidge more Autobots than Decepticons if you count the upcoming Wreckers (who I'd be surprised to see cancelled.) But that might just be me.

And I am thrilled to see that Supreme Predaking coming, but I wish we'd had a big Decepticon in between him and Leader Starscream.

Speaking of :BOT: VS :CON: / :PREDACON: ratio, I'm watching the old RID cartoon right now and the poor bad guys are totally outmatched by the Bots. Even when Scourge and Bruticus 2.0 came around.

Anyway, I would sure like to see more bad guys in toys form. In the movie lines, there were more Bots than cons surely because they had to produce some licenced cars. I bet that's the only reason Skids and Mudflaps got their toys in the DOTM Line. Nevertheless, in TF Prime, there is no licenced vehicles and in the toon, there's a shitload of Cons. So, why is there still so few Cons in toy form? Why Jet Vehicon and Breakdown remain Japan exclusives?

Anyway.
Back on topic.

I would like a BEAST WARS / CLASSIC LINE.
Meaning, the good old G1 cast in beast form.
Like:
:BOT: :MAXIMAL:
Optimus Prime: Great grizly bear
Bumblebee, a yellow lemur
Bulkhead: elephant
Arcee: a black panther
Jetfire: a royal eagle
Ratchet: a Saint-Bernard dog

:CON: :PREDACON:
Megatron: a polar bear
Starscream: a vulture
Vehicons: a wolfpack
Soundwave: a bat
Breakdown: a rhinoceros

Note that there is no dinosaurs or giant insects. I would want the beasts to be the ones that actually exist today. Also, the beast would be perfectly on scale with the real deal and the size of the bots would be in scale with their beast modes. No mass shiftinh there and some bots would surely be tiny as hell.

Now that some time have passed, new desires arose.

I would like very much a TF Prime HUMAN ALLIANCE line.
- A new Arcee mold that is smaller with Jack as the rider.
- BB with the boy.
- Bulkhead with Miko.
- Optimus Prime with Fowler.
- Breakdowm with Silas (include a "lol now I'm you" gimmick).
- Knock out with Random Douche.
- Starscream with Sila's Soldier.
- Ratchet with Jack's mom.

The humans would be HA sized and the TFs would be properly in scale.
It's too late for new Prime molds. Tha's why it will never be made.

Cool idea. I'm lovin' it, although I'd switch the Random Douche with Vince the Douche.

My own idea is, well, perhaps more symbolic rather than practical.
My idea is a crossover of Transformers and NERF: a small line consisting of some more iconic Transformers hand-held weapons that fire any NERF darts. Like G1 Optimus Prime's Ion Blaster and MAYBE some kind of Requiem Blaster.
I was also thinking about an arm-attachable Megatron Fusion Cannon, but then I found that it would be a b*tch to fire when strapped on one's arm. The same with Starscream's Null-Rays.
Since Hasbro owns both franchises it MAY be even possible to do in theory, in reality, however, it might be stopped by the financial side.

What I DON'T mean in any way is an already existing NERF-gun redecoed like this:

Or these transformable guns:

Dude, that sounds pretty sweet! I wouldn't buy the Otpimus gun, but the other ones would be fair game. How about a Megatron cannon WATER GUN? Or maybe it can shoot water balloons??? THAT WOULD BE EPIC! :shock:

The transforming vehicle/guns pics you posted aren't too bad. I know they suck for you and me, but now that they're out of stores, I'm realizing how much my 2 year old would love that Optimus! He loves trucks... and GUNS! 8-} WHY DIDN'T I PICK THIS UP WHEN IT WAS OUT?!?!? Oh well, maybe we'll see something like it again with the new movies... cause he would seriously love that thing... if it's small enough for him. Otherwise he'd drop it over and over and scream in frustration, before finally just chucking the thing as hard as he can - which is how the collectors feel about that toy in general, when you think about it! :lol:

I never bought any Nerf guns and I never will... unless they release a perfect replica of G1 Optimus Prime's blaster.

Since Hasbro is so hot on IDW with Generations lately, WHERE'S MY GENERATIONS ARCEE? Sure, Delicate Warrior fill the bill perfectly, but I want something official from HasTak. I would buy her even in her IDW design.

honestly, after some of the recent announcement/reveals/releases I'm not sure I can say there's anything "that Hasbro will NEVER make" barring really silly impossible stuff or things that are too super huge and cost too much to make. And even then Metroplex looks like he's pushing the boundries of what I'd been thinking on that.

I'm not saying it sucks for me. I just would like a real blaster rather than something that transforms into one. That thing has a HAND that HOLDS the blaster. That kinda spoils it for me. I want my hand to hold the blaster instead of my hand holding a hand that holds the blaster.
Sheesh, that's a lot of hands. Makes me feel like an octopus.
Also the vehicle-pieces from the truck are kinda turn-off for me.

Yeah, that's my problem. I'm a frickin' perfectionist. :BANG_HEAD:

:shock: Mother of god. I didn't noticed it before. **** is hillariously retarded! :lol:
If I ever see one of those guns in super clearance like 75% off, I might grab one for the lulz. 8-}

I wouldn't mind a ultimate Combiner. It's name would be Omega Clusterfawk. Just imagine FIVE combiner teams that would combine into a giant robot. Each of these combiner teams are composed of FIVE members each.

All teams are composed of five vehicles that can change into individual robots.

Team A would be composed of a Tank team. All five are bots that change into various (cybertronian/organic) tanks. Everyone then combine into either a giant tank OR a giant robot. They would all combine to form the Omega Torso.

Team B would be a Car team. Combine into a giant truck or the Omega Left Arm.

Team C would be a Plane/copter team. Combine into a giant spaceship or the Omega Right Leg.

Team D would be various Dinosaurs. Combine into a Godzilla or the Omega Left Leg.

Finally, Team E are various regular animals. Combine into a Chimera or the Omega Right Arm.

All these teams them combine into Omega Clusterfawk. Of course, everything would be engeheerd so that all combined forms are perfectly ballanced, solid, and posable. :KREMZEEK:

I pulled Beast Wars Silverbolt out of a storage bin and transformed him. As I flipped the head up from his chest an empty spider egg sack popped out. This same bin hosts two different versions of Blackarachnia, so no guesses what happened there...

Anyway, with Waspinator and Rhonox toys on the way, I wouldn't mind seeing more Beast Wars core figs; particularly Silverbolt and Blackarachnia. I just don't think it will happen any time soon.

That would be awesome, as would a deluxe Terrorsaur that's screen accurate. A proper colored Scorponok would be decent as well.

I don't know whether the new Voyager Whirl is gonna be based off his IDW/MTMTE appearance or his original G1 appearance, but if Hasbro runs the MTMTE look I'd like to see a classics Obsidian from the mold. I cant get myself to like the BotCon version.

Hmm, this may be a tough topic for me right now.

I used to think that we would never see a Masterpiece Bumblebee. Then the momentum in the MP line picked up its pace a few years ago. Now we have a very productive year of MP figures, including both Bumblebee and Wheeljack slated for release later this year.

So I may have to dig into a direction a little less common...

Well, the TF I want but I know, or at least I am pretty sure Hasbro will never make, is Guiltaur. It's not a terribly difficult concept to realize in toy form but it's so esoteric that only hardcore fans would appreciate and buy into such a character concept.

The character as a toy could possibly work as a convention exclusive but even then, there are other characters that more fans would care to see instead.
