Replicated Buster Prime gun upgrade kit, so the rest of the us can have a accurate gun.

Jet fire power kit, clip on parts to make the ROTF prime have a more accurate combine.

Leader Class Prime Trailer ( this should have been a given)

Leader Iron Hide accurate cannons upgrade?



Anybody else got any ideas for the 3rd parties to increase the accuracy of the Movie
Line stuff?

I'm usually not one for minor 3rd party accessories like this, but I would totally be down with some large guns for Ironhide.

His mechtech weapons are cool and amze me each time, but I want the big guns.

Is they were priced at like $20 then I would get them no problem.

Heck, I might even make some and start casting. Anyone insterested?

After playing the DOTM game, I can see a kit to give Leader Prime and Ironhide their extra game weapons.

Unnecessary.

The movie figures are generally decently accurate to start and/or there are enough options between the Hasbro and Takara releases that I just don't see enough demand for 3rd Party product to be successful. The reason the G1 stuff works is because there usually aren't too many alternatives...or they were poorly done previously.

I wouldn't say so much as poorly done as say, the technology for what we have now wasn't around. If an engineer had the idea to use ball joints at the time then there may not have been a way to create mold castings to support them. But I think the lack of things like articulation and more complicated transformations had more to do w/ engineering thought process not coming up w/ those ideas first.

Sure man, cast away.

When I say 'poorly done previously' I'm not really referring to the G1 incarnations as I am, say, Cybertron Evac repainted into Springer...or 'ROTF' Bruticus and Superion without the upgrades.

I'd buy the Jetfire parts add-on to give ROTF Optimus a more movie look.

The jetfire parts would have to at least snap together & form a black stealth jet. then snap apart in various armor parts for prime like boots,forearms,chest plate,jet wing back pack+rocket boosters. over the head shoulder canons. various gun weapons.

id like a pack that has some severed heads, ribs, and spinal columns for optimus to carry around on a necklace like the predator

and a tall spear with detatchable knuckles that have "give me your face" written in cybertronian just a thought but id buy that in a heartbeat.
