The Energon Pub

On the one hand, Voyager might be too big for what a shortaft Straxus was. On the other hand, he was also fat and it might be required to get his pickaxe in at a decent size.

I bet that being a comic fan, you'd also like to see Rack'n'Ruin get made in this line.

Have I mentioned a Greenlight reissue yet?
Since someone on the team obviously has Cybertron on the brain, I'd love to see them dig out the Scrapmetal mold and give us an accessible release of the Cobybot.

Probably as many times as me clamoring for PotP Waverider, and TR Toraizer.

On the subject of G1 comics, I'd like to see leader class versions of Fortress Maximus and Scorponok. I've always preferred them at that size.

Ah, yes! Nightbeat really needs an update, especially one that's titan master compatible. I definitely agree with all those, but I don't think we'll get many IDW figures in WFC, except maybe Nautica. Hopefully in the next trilogy though, because there were so many great designs in IDW. Voyagers of IDW Optimus and Megatron, especially MTMTE Megs, would instant buys.

On the bright side, we already got an IDW Ultra Magnus in Combiner Wars.

Meh. I need the colors.

Accurate colors for Magnus? There's always the Legends version.

Here's another want from me: A Metroshot redeco of Six-Gun, so that the 'Cons have another weaponizer.

I'd like to see a Voyager class Drift.

Ooh, here's something:
A new character who turns into a 4-door car. Those are a rarity in Transformers.

Since we know about Earthrise coneheads from Sky Lynx's box art, how about we get the really obscure repaints/hybrid toolings of G2 Sandstorm, Nacelle, and G2 Ramjet?

Yesss...

Here's something I'd like to see in the third part of the trilogy: A proper Quickswitch

Oh, yes. Come on Hasbro, it's a cash grab in the making!

If they are going to go that far, might as well do a mini-van. Extra points for real sliding doors.

Well, SUVs are 4-door too.
But really, as far as 4-door TFs go, we've had Cybertron Red Alert, movieverse Ironhide, movie Stockade, the Dreads, and Berserker... there might be a couple others? compared to no end of 2-door.
4-door would be great for a taxi deco

I would love to see the Insecticons please give the bugs, also the Ariel Bots, Constructicons and some of the smaller bots like Brawn and seaspray. We definitely need more decepticons.

Look up the Prime Wars Trilogy.

Of the ones you mentioned, really only the Constructicons could stand a redo but it's not likely.

I would like a faux G2 Sunstreaker with inverted colors to go with the Covert Clone G2 Sideswipe.

I think its kind of a no-brainer with guys like Crosshair, Spinister, Scorponoke, Apeface and Snapdragon that the various Something-Master characters are probably ranked fairly high on people's 'want list' for recent CHUG stuff.

This sounds incredible. Selects needs to make this happen.

You forgot this sexy sedan.



I'd like to see the 2nd string Insecticons get finished: Venom, Barrage, Ransack and because legends class is current dead a new Chop Shop to match.

Gears would be a welcome addition to my collection - again with a typically legends class figure.

In a dream world I'd like to see a new Metroplex as I missed the first one (but with less WfC/FoC design queues), but that seems very unlikely and kind of a waste of a titan slot.

Why voyager, am I missing something? I wouldn't say no to a new Drift though, as the old gen figure is starting to show its age. I'd be curious to which direction they took it. Would they keep the IDW look or would the design drift more towards a G1 aesthetic?

He probably refers to pieces of art by Guido Guidi that has Springer redecoed as Drift, in multiple schemes:

Retro G1-style Drift
AoE-style G1 Drift
Retro G1 Deadlock

That actually yielded us Siege Barricade based on Smokescreen don't you know

I didn't know and thank you.

Add Deadlock to my list of WFC wants

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:On the subject of Targetmasters: Reissues of TR Misfire and Slugslinger, because of the eBay prices

This, especially Misfire. And while we're at it, reissues of TR Perceptor, Windblade, and the Jumpstarters would be similarly great. Get on it, Selects!

Here we go:
-The Guidi Deadlock from Siege Springer that was mentioned before
-Voyager IDW Whirl or at least an IDW-inspired Whirl, since it's not like Whirl had a cartoon appearance a figure would have to adhere to
-A Voyager Blaster to be the counterpart of Siege Soundwave, hopefully also with a Cybertronian/actually mobile alt mode
-Refraktor-sized Deluxes of the original 3 Insecticons with solid accessories, with maybe some Selects cannon fodder/drone/clone repaints (and yes I KNOW that's not "cartoon scale accurate", but the thread is called WFC Figures I WANT to see, and I want my Insecticons actually reasonably sized and not Minibot sized)
-The Deluxe Insecticons, preferably as larger Deluxes than the OG 3, although if most of them need to be retools of the OG 3 then that's also fine
-Needlenose, he deserves it at this point
-Tetrajet Sunstorm
-Road Rage
-Prime Knock Out in some capacity, preferably with accurate paint job
-Weaponizers of Energon Wing Saber ad Armada Overload
-Cybertron Mudflap from ER Grapple, and Artfire from the inevitable Inferno retooling
-Detritus from Siege Hound
-Demolishor from Siege Impactor

Above all, the Main Two:
-NO MORE EXACT CHARACTER REPEATS. If a WFC figure of someone already exists, no more of this "It's them again but with an Earth mode" nonsense unless it's a blatantly different version of the character. We need to keep making Megatrons? Make a Unicron Trilogy one to go with Galaxy Upgrade, or an Animated helicopter Megs, not another barely different G1 tank Megs. We need to get the most out of the Smokescreen mold? Make Cybertron Crosswise and a toy-accurate Jazz, but don't do all the Datsuns again AND who knows how many repeat Seekers
-PLEASE let the hints that the Beast Wars anniversary next year will actually be celebrated amount to something in Generations, and not just a few overpriced Masterpieces or something

Would a Leader-class "submarine" Megatron be different enough for you?
And I still want Earth mode versions of Skywarp and Thundercracker, since the F-15 is so different from the Tetrajet.
IMO they should have given us Skywarp first, since SIEGE Starscream is still warming shelves in places and SIEGE Skywarp was a smegging exclusive that's now hard to get grrrr

Here's something I don't think I mentioned yet:
* The REAL Caliburst, not the animation-error G2-esque recolor of Blowpipe.
