If you were a third-party TF toymaker...

Do you love your new Hercules set? Can't get enough of FansProject's items? Upset that you bought a knock off when you thought you were getting an original? Use this forum to tell everyone your thoughts about unlicensed and knock off TF products.

FP did warbot so I would probably do a blitzwing triple changer.

Recreate the TFC Starcream Megatron hand/Optimus hand accessory.

G1 Megatron handgun accessory for G1 Soundwave( to re-create the scene from Fire in the Mountain) similar to my first suggestion.

Create an Orion Pax head for e-Hobby Orion Pax( more like a long-shot 'cause it's sooooooooo limited and the economic profit would be too limited).

G1 chromed sonic speakers for Jazz

G1 rocket pack for Sideswipe

TFC energon axe for Convoy( the latest 3rd party version IMHO isn't too good)

New idea: new, G1-accurate heads for all those G1-based repaints that came out in '08 and '09. Especially Big Daddy. I love how they made his face purple again, but it just doesn't work on that headsculpt.

A trailer for Classics Prime with all of these accessories because I like options:

- Roller, to drive the trailer away, parked in trailer

- A wing pack accessory (wings attached on sides of trailer like God Bomber)

- A booster pack for Prime's back to attach the wings to, stored in trailer

- A cartoon accurate rifle, stored in trailer

- A cartoon accurate energon ax that fits over Prime's fist to look like it sticks out of his arm, stored in trailer

- Two Ginrai rifles, stored in trailer (basically the same rifles that came with Powermaster Prime for those who don't have them - they fit nicely in Classics Prime's hands)

- Two movie style battle blades that fit over Primes hands like ax above, stored in trailer

I think that's good for now. :HALUC:

If I were a 3rd party toymaker I would:

The main thing I would do is look around every TF forum, website, etc.. to get ideas of the characters that people really wanted.
Then make them cheap enough for fans to afford and mass market them as best as possible.
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

I would want:

2) Blitzwing
3) Broadside
4) Sandstorm
5) The Aerialbot upgrade sets were not complete in my opinion w/out brand new replacement figures for the second molds of the appendages. I would have bought the classics Aerialbot set, repped out 2 of the appendages and used my Snowman version of the upgrade set.
6) A Soundwave and Blaster that can accomodate all the re-vamped cassette characters that are about to hit market.

I want to see a female Targetmaster for Universe Powerglide. Her name would be Targetmistress Astoria, and she would turn into a technology disruption beam.

Also, a repaint would work as a targetmaster partner for Seaspray. She would be Targetmistress Alana, and she would turn into a transmorphing beam (turns it's target into a tree for a short time).

That set that came out a few weeks back looks poor.

- Cartoon-accurate head, flail and light-up Fusion Cannon for G1 Megatron.
I already have the TFC flail, but I think a set like this would make a lot of fans happy.

- Improved Zarak for G1 Scorponok.
Slightly bigger so the robot mode doesn't look all weird.

- Clear swords for all the G1 Dinobots
You know you want them.....

- "Weapon Hands" set for G1 Jazz (grappling hook), G1 Starscream (drillbit), G1 Hotrod (buzzsaw w\ lightsabre and shield) ect...
A man can dream....

- New soundchip customisation kit for G1 Galvatron (similar to the Japanese Reissue except its the Frank Welker voice)
Small amount of soldering skill needed, but it'd sound great.

- Arcee Headmaster head for G1 figures.
I think this would be cool, even if just to see what it really does look like on a G1 Chromedome body!



I like the way you think, plus I would like Leonard Nimoy's voice too for my Galvatron. I have the Takara version and I gotta tell ya, I have no clue what he's saying. I keep it on the transforming sound.

What would I make?

I'd start with an updated Warpath in Deluxe scale.

Follow that up with a brand new design based on Megadeath from the comics.

Next up would be updates to some popular Japanese characters like Deathsaurus and Dai Atlas, this time in Voyager scale,

Last, but by no means least, would be a set of Powermaster and Bomber trailers for Classics Optimus Prime!

And I would definitely be open to fan suggestion!

Hats. I'd start with a sombrero to distinguish Scourge from the sweeps. Then probably a bowler hat, or maybe a tribly for the Universe Prowl mould. Of course we'd need a Baseball cap for the various Primes and a fez (and stetson), fez's (and stetson's) are cool.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

I'd go for Classics versions on the big guys like Omega Supreme, Metroplex, Trypticon, Scorponok, and Fort Max. It's doubtful Has/Tak will ever release large scale figures like these in the Classics line leaving the market wide open.

*Hopefully this is already coming from Hastak (due to his star-turn in Dark of the Moon), but I'd like an Ultra-sized Shockwave with compatible G1-esque aesthetics to City Commander and Protector, with alt-mode similar to the original gun mode.

*Replacement elbows and knees for G1 Blaster and Metroplex to bring their articulation closer to modern standards.

I totally 2nd this! But I would like for it to fit with Star Convoy and not be super articulated like TFs these days. =;

Now if I was a 3rd party Company I would make:

- Transforming drone for Gen. Thunderwing, able to fit into his chest.
- A trailer for Engergon Rodimus.
- Anime head for G1 Tracks.

Then move on to new dinobot drone options for Grimstone.

Show-accurate Dion. I like the look of the Hot Shot repaint, but wasn't Dion supposed to be a truck?

Also, new versions of all the stuff that combines with the Big Armada Prime, downsized for the Little Armada Prime.
