I may have mentioned it before but I'd love to see Transformers Xovers back. But this time, with DC. I'd kill for a Batman who would transform into the Batmobile. =P~

On the flipside of that I wonder how many of these pages could be filled with rejected concept art?

Some Guido Guidi AHM "modern" concepts.

How about a CHUG-styled Bulkhead? That seems like it could happen but I doubt its on the menu. >:oP

A G1 Bulkhead did appear in the IDW comics. As you may have guessed, based on Prime Bulkhead. In other words, all Prime Bulkhead toy double as G1 :-D

Here's one: how about a pack of just those gunfire/laser/rocket/explosion/swoosh effect parts from the Siege Battlemasters? With so many places to put them on the rest of the line, there's a disappointingly small number of them available in the first place.

Decent combiners that don't need separate hand/foot pieces. I regret selling my Rail Racer; as far as I'm concerned, that's as close to a perfect combiner as we're likely to get from this franchise.

Stuff like Centuritron and Battletrap has the basic idea down pat, but lacks the size.

Isn't he a tank of some type?

According to TFWiki he is, but I can't find any official images of it. His IDW appearance seems to have some sort of tread kibble thoguh.

I know we've just had a Leader-class Rodimus Prime in Power of the Primes I'd love to see a more properly scaled Voyager Rodimus without any frills or gimmicks (unless maybe its a trailer with guns inside) that would scale well with Siege Magnus and Springer as well as TR Galvatron.

They could go the Siege route. A properly scaled voyager Rodimus Prime with his trailer included. The trailer could have 2 functions. The "Base Mode" like for the G1 toy, AND it could come appart to make a "super mode" Rodimus.

This could be boss as hell. :BOWDOWN:

Nah, too similar to POTP Rodimus. I think you can easily make a Voyager Rodimus out of one whose trailer become part of the body like Titanium. But, you know, not **** like Titanium.

I agree, more like a MTMTE/Cloud Rodimus in my mind

I doubt we'll ever see old IDW designs ever again with official products, as this era is one which has closed and Hasbro has moved on. It might get revisited someday for nostalgia sake (like Unicron trilogy and Beast Wars design nod popping up here and there) but truth be told I'm not sure how much staying power those mid-to-late IDW designs actually have to the toy collectors. This forum is pretty huge on IDW fanboys which might skew perceptions.

Now those things will undoubtedly live on with 3P companies and collectors but for mainstrea TF? You're not getting any old IDW designs for a long time. >:oP

I'd really like it if we got a trio of new-mold Firecons. As Burn pointed out, they could all be retools of each other as they all transformed exactly the same way anyway.

Failing that, I'd settle for redecos of Kickback for Sparkstalker and Wingspan for Flamefeather, so at least Cindersaur had some lazy redeco companions.

Commander Class Powermaster Optimus Prime?

I would like that :-D

Do you mean scout sized?
Yeah, that would be boss as hell. Combine with a scout sized Godbomber to have a deluxe sized God Ginrai. Oh, and Ginrai (the engine guy) himself would simply be a "headmaster" like in the "Pretenders" of PotP.

Siege Jetfire sized

Bigger than Leader, but smaller than Titan.

Well, it already happened. Hasbro just have to import this 2 pack.

It's not perfect, but it get the job done.

Indeed. Such a shame. I would have loved to see an official release of this guy...

Or the actually modern Seeker mold >:oP

No, what I meant by Commander Class size is the cab+trailer combo be Commander Class, and Godbomber combines to make a Titan Class figure. That would be boss

You mean the Commander Class from the Legion Class figures? Yeah, those were pretty neat budget figures, and I believe we need more of those.

What would be awesome in the Legion/Legends Class format is a G1 Devastator. Having played with the Legends Class ROTF Devastator, I would love a set of G1 Constructicons that can combine to form a nice G1 Devy in a cool Legends size package. Kinda like what 3P is doing except it doesn't make you go broke on your wallet :POPCORN:

In a sense we have one. A redeco of a Micromaster Six-team, but it has all the right vehicles:

Transformers Universe Devastator (Devastar) Gallery

A G1/Diaclone accurate one would be pretty boss tho
