Deluxe Windblade => Transmetal Terrorsaur (let's try to leave trans-gendering alone for now, he could work as quickslinger or skydive, since he and terrorsaur are both pretty lithe)
I'm not suggesting a Transgender character, I just don't think her body is that definitively female so much as just *lean* and it has the VTOL fans and boot jets TM Terrorsaur had.
Voyager Whirl => Inferno (just, no; the builds are too dissimilar, and neither form really say inferno on any level).
The toys feel immensely similar to me - both have a sort of odd posture, the head/canopy and claws line-up, the excessive firepower, and Inferno's weird flight mode is more helicopter like than any other character's altmode. Plus the mold would just look good in red.
Legion Bumblebee => Quickstrike (this doesn't even make remote sense, plus they don't do legion figures, plus he was never on cybertron to have a form representative of that)
Not the super tiny legion mold, the bigger one that came with a helicopter targetmaster. It's small, fast, has the flared feet, and the build of a brawler. And I havent seen any indication this is a BW prequel as oposed to an alternate universe.
Combiner Wars Motormaster => Transmetal Optimus Primal (while it could work, I don't think people really want more of this mold, as it is unarguably the weakest torso)
I'm just speculating what might happen, not what people would like. Trukmunky is low hanging fruit, and technically Motormaster's body, without the window chest, has only been used once. I'd prefer to have Optimal Optimus from Onslaught, but that seems unlikely, as the only real aesthetic tie in is the two cannons in vehicle mode.
CW Blackjack => Transmetal Rattrap (groove would be a nicer throwback, and keep in line with the fact that he has been established as having been a motorcycle previously at botcon)
But the groove mold doesn't combine with the truck mold, and Transmetal Rattrap had four wheels, not two.
CW Brawl => Transmetal Rhinox (no, that doesn't suit his character at all, while it could be a cutesy nod to his aggression and future as tankor, it wouldn't work as him from before all of bw happened [depending on when this is set] I could see him as first-aid to emulate his medic capabilities, or as rook to emulate his bulk, plus his cattle-prod could become an engineering tool to reference his engineering capabilities)
Rhinox's immense, armored build and his gigantic overpowered weapons were always contrary to his characterization - it was part of his character.
CW Prowl => Transmetal Cheetor & Tigatron (cheetor, yes, but if we're talking speed, breakdown would work better with the hood engine adding to that perception. Tigatron never struck me as speedy, it wasn't in his nature, so perhaps use swindle to reference his constant need to be in the wild by making him an offroad jeep - or they could go full on cutesy and redeco ravage as botcon tigatron)
Breakdown would require another headmold, when Prowl's fits well enough as is, and the two cats have almost always used the same mold.
CW Firefly => Transmetal Air-Razor (airriad would work much better due to the wingspan and having wings that are adjustable like a birds, or skydive, since that has a more feminine shaped body)
Air-Raid's wings are a better fit for her TM form, but Firefly's head is a better fit. Six of one and all of that.

(A) They make sense to me.
(B) Are we trying to give Hasbro pre-emptive feedback on something they've done but we don't know about yet? I was trying to guess what the other Botcon figures would be this year - in that vein, it makes sense to think like Hasbro would.
(C) I would think that telling someone what they say makes "only the most superficial amount of sense" and telling them to "avoid" saying things one disagrees with is effectively 'quashing' their opinion, whether or not one is
trying to do so.
