What about the other guys who got put into IDW's versions of Sky Reign and Galvatronus? At the very least, how about Thundercracker and Acid Storm, since they're easy recolors of UW Starscream?

Proper CW Seekers would be neat, especially if they retooled the wings. And no, that horrible SteroidScream from POTP doesn't count. Oh well, they're very easy to customize.

You know who I want to get a new toy? Antagony. It'll never happen most likely because she's as obscure as they come but it would be neat. She could turn into a Bullet Ant...

Fun fact: the sting of a Bullet Ant is the most painful insect sting in the world, and one of the most painful things there is.

That doesn't sound fun at all! I certainly don't envy the guy who had to test and quantify that. Not even the guy who keeps miscoloring Hot Rod pink in TFTM deserves that!

Too bad those times of oversizing the minibots are gone.

There were also those "GDO" figures from the pacific that got a release in America as TRU exclusives, many of which were larger figures redecoed into minibots.

Here's a hint!

or someone could retool/repaint ect...BW Inferno(& YES! I know he's a Fire Ant & not a Bullet one)

A Titan Master scale AI or Dark AI would be a dream come true.
Alas, it's unlikely to ever happen.

There's one I don't understand how it was not made :

- Repaint/retool CW Hotspot as RID/Car robots Optimus.

That's so f**g obvious, I don't understand. Especially considering they already retooled this mold at least 4 times with less fitting characters.

I'm even more frustrated with the leaks of power of primes, which shows again another retool, in red, with fake windows chest... to be Inferno.

I understand your frustration.
I've wanted a Car Robots Fire Convoy FOREVER, and would gladly take any they'd give us.
Imagine a Combiner made of him, the Autobot Brothers, and like God Magnus (or whoever else). That would've been AWESOME!!

Hopefully in the future.

And again, making autobot brothers would have been so easy, there's already the CW deluxe molds for each of them.

Breakdown as Mach Alert/Prowl
Offroad as X-Brawn
Dead End as Speedbreaker/Side Burn
Dragstrip as Sky-Z (yeah, I had to randomly pickup a secondary character for the last limb)

All of these combining with the Hotspot retool as Optimus.

Et Voila.

So Damn easy..

Actually, you know what I want? "New" members for the other two G1 combiners we got in CW (Bruticus and Computron) ala Rook, Alpha Bravo and Offroad. Bruticus could have either a different jet (perhaps a non-ghostly release of UW Ghost Starscream?) or perhaps an AA tank retool of Brawl. As for Computron, how about a fembot futuristic minisub called Sonar? She could be a sort of orangey-yellow, keeping in the Computron colour palette whilst still standing out from the rest.

...Actually, I have a spare Alpha Bravo who I reckon with some customizing would make a good little mini-sub. Replace the tail rotor with a propeller, change the top rotor for an antennae cluster, tweak the front end, give her a new noggin and perhaps replace the missile arms with "salvage claws"? Yeah, that's a good idea. To the airbrush shed!

I personally love the idea of bringing in new characters as limbs for old Combiners considering the Combiner components tend to be non-entities outside of a few lucky ones like Swindle and First Aid. You could even make a cool story about it; like maybe most of the Aerialbots quit or died so Silverbolt and Alpha Bravo need to get together a new team and build Superion from scratch. Considering pretty much all the original Combiner teams bar Piranhacon and Monstructor have been done 'right' in Combiner Wars or are going to be done 'right' in Power of the Primes, I'd say the doors are open to new ideas like this. Heck, I'd love to see Heatseeker and Skidmark from RiD 2015 Generations-ised for Menasor! ... and, uh, a new good Motormaster for the torso.

STOP GIVING ME ALL THESE WANTS!

Pushalong.

Kurona wrote:Pushalong.

Perhaps not an actual pram (and maybe not actually called Pushalong) but that's given me an idea for a custom- TR Wheelie into a protoform transportation vehicle (read: self-propelled baby buggy). Give her a "nursery-friendly" colour scheme and a new head, put in a suitably small Transformer to represent the baby/protoform (a Titanmaster with the faceplate removed and replaced with a generic techy backpack perhaps?) and you kinda have it!

Not sure what she'd be called though. Pushalong is just too degrading (and redundant if the vehicle mode is self-propelled). Assumedly she'd be a non-combatant, so perhaps go with a nice pastel yellow and call her Sunshine?

I suggested this awhile back:

Rysquad wrote:I would love to see 2001 RID get a Combiner Wars/Titans Return homage:

Ultra Magnus from the Voyager Optimus Prime mold (redeco with shades of blue) that can tow a car carrier that also transforms into a Titan Master base.

Prowl from the Breakdown mold instead of the Dead End mold.

Side Burn from the Breakdown mold.

X-Brawn from the Offroad mold.

Maybe Skid-Z from the Dragstrip mold.

Art Fire and R.E.V. as Titan Masters with the Terri-Bull/Skytread/Tankette drone to mimic Ultra Magnus' cannons.

Maybe with a story of a pissed off Ultra Magnus forcing them to combine

Following the disappointing TLK Infernocus set, I want something better.

A 6 bots combiner, all clones demons who look EXACTLY the same... at first glance. However, each would have individual transformations. One would be the right arms, the other the left, then a pair that would be the right and left leg, then another pair made out of one who would be the bottom of the torso with the thighs, and the other who would be the upper torso with the combiner head.

To have the BEST individual bots and combined mode possible, none of the demons would have an individual altmode. They didn't had any in the movie anyway. Finally, the limbs would be Combiner Wars compatible and both hales of the torso would combine together with the Energon duocon port found on most deluxes. Making them compatible with Energon Autobots. Because why not?

The price point would be the same as the standard CW box sets. The figures would be of course, masterfully sculpted and painted to be as movie accurate as possible.

Anyone else want that?

Not a huge deal, but a show-accurate Blastwave would be nice.

A cool DJD team in CW line.

With:

-Tesarus from Motormaster/Optimus mold
-Tarn from Rook mold
-Helex from Brawl mold
-Kaon from Alpha Bravo
-Vos from Groove

Obviously, I'm talking in the case we should get them as remold from other characters.
If we'd got new molds, the better!
It could also have a legend Nickel, but I don't know what mold she could be made from.
Maybe an eavily remolded Bombshell that instead of a bug turns into a kind of submarine, and the combiner altmode could be a gun.

I would be all over this like a rash. Third parties take not.

A "perfect edition" version of Animated Prowl that mixes tooling, deco, and accessories from both the original and Samurai versions of the mold to get the best of both worlds.

I've probably mentioned this before, but I would LOVE for them to reissue the Binaltech Asterisk/Kiss Players human figures. I mean, just look at how they scale compared to modern day CHUG figs:





THEY LOOK PERFECT TOGETHER!!!






(Not my pics by the way.)

I own Autorooper Atari and yeah, I agree that the figures scale better with the standard scale than the Alternator one.

Plus, I love these anime girls. Sexy and cute, a great combo!

On a side note, it's not transforming transformers, but would be official licenced products. I own the Gutto Kurru Ginrai figure. They also made Minelba.



I'd like more of them based on several characters. The Kiss Players girls, of course, but also Sam Witwiky, that important woman that I don't remember the name, the Prime kids, ect. So much potential, but no company will ever make because those figures would sell poorly I bet.

I wish the Kiss Players girls would get a second chance at appearing in non-terrible fiction. Marissa Faireborn or however you spell her name is always popping up but what about poor Atari Hitotonari and Shaoshao Li? If I were doing a TF anime/cartoon/whatever, I'd have Atari be the main human companion (and also getting a personality upgrade from "spineless jellyfish" to "shy but resourceful mecha otaku") whilst Shaoshao would be the owner of the Happy Dragon diner...which every other episode would be getting trashed by those pesky Decepticons. Personality wise she'd be like Kelly, the hapless comic relief, except instead of being terrified she'd be absolutely consumed by boundless rage. ("Look what you stupid *%$!ing robots have done to my diner! AGAIN! I'm going to KILL YOU!"). I certainly wouldn't mind little TM-sized minifigures of Atari and Shaoshao (and maybe T-AI) to have fun on the various stupid adventures my TFs get up to.

As far as actual figures go, a non-show-accurate Tarantulas that turns into an actual tarantula (so a big fat fluffy thing rather than the rather generic "evil spooder" we usually get saddled with) would be adorable and wonderful.

That idea about the Kissy Girls... I LIKE it!

Speaking about TF girls, I would REALLY love to see Sari Sumdak from Animated become a headmaster. I was SURE when I was watching the show that Sari would find a transtector body or something. But <animated ended cheaply and abruptly.

Oh well, I may just make the custom myself.
