the firetruck,
Hot Spot, mold

the artillery vehicle,
Onslaught...

why use the firetruck
for
Megaempress?

Because that was the one that got redone into Pyra Magna, and the point of the set was re-using the Victorion retools.

This TF Heroes Hot Rod/Shot & Rhinox

Using those molds as anybody would have been awesome.

But, alas...

You know Tankette, the redeco of Skytread/Terri-Bull's little quad tank that comes with Legends Hardhead? I'd love it if she got a proper Legends-sized transforming toy that turned from a teeny tiny tank into a cute little robot. Tankette is such an adorable concept and it's a shame her only toy is a drone that can only transform into a highly questionable jet.

I agree. Maybe if enough people ask Takara it might happen.

I'd also have to go with a rather obscure group: the Mini-Constructicons. I could see them as being Targetmasters for the other Constructicons, but chances of them getting a physical representation are very slim.

I'd love a Titan Class Cruise Ship transformer that would serve as a base for smaller figures + we've never had a cruise ship transformer before

doesn't make it right.

By yourself do you mean Kup?

A new mold Thunderblast that takes the basic transformation concept (that is, total shellformer) and refines it considerably into an actually good toy. Transfer a bit more of the boat shell to the legs, have the boat "wings" fold up more to get out of the way better, and give the actual robot body (containing very little actual transformation engineering itself) superb articulation.

A shame it'll never happen because A: Thunderblast isn't popular/G1 enough to justify it, B: The partscount would take her way over HasTak's meager budget, and C: Warden would just take TR Scourge, paint him purple and give him a new head.

Time to bump this up with a genuine wish.

I really love the Alternator / Binaltech line. Sure, there is a few stinkers but most of them are good or even great.

Two of these Alternators are Soundwave's minions.

Rumble:



And Ravage. More precisely, the Jaguar version:



I own both in my Alternators collection and I love them. But there is one very important minion missing.

LAZERBEAK.

So, the Alternator line being dead for more than 10 years now, it is a toy that neither nor will ever, ever make. And I WANT it.

I may make a custom Alternator Lazerbeak eventually but it will be hard as BALLS because the car should stay a real licenced car. with the interior intact. And the engine visible when we open the hood. And the turning wheels and opening doors intact. Maybe there is one Alternator mold that would be appropriate...

As for Soundwave himself, Maybe the giant KO DOTM Megatron may do the trick?
Naaah, because we can't go "inside" the truck...

I love them, too.
if only the pounders turned to hands.
sigh

Anywhay,
about the same time the BinAlts were dying out
this came along...

Engine King Eagle Zord

not the greatest... but ok.

That PR eagle thing is pretty awesome!
Too bad the interior of the car is sacrificed, but it's still pretty brilliant.

Generations Hubcap.

Yellow Cliffjumper redeco? Nope that's Bumblebee.

New Mold? for an obscure guy like Hubcap?

The Minibot lineup is doomed to be incomplete

There was that Impossible Toys figure, but it wasn't very good. It's ridiculously cheap nowaadays mind you so it might be worth it for a laugh.

Topic: You know what I want? A 7th Constructicon that turns into a trencher and can form a chainsaw for Devastator. You know, one of these:

This may be considered dumb, but id like them to retool the Sky Shadow/Overlord mold into Energon Megatron. Somehow i think it would work so well for the character

GENIUS!
Can I call a Botcon or Collector Club exclusive?

Vector Prime from TR Alpha Trion

Actually, you know who I'd like as a Legends/Scout class figure? Anode. I know very little about the character but that design is awesome- she turns into a Cybertronian crop duster!

show
moth ah fudgen
accurate

please

not legends
a smaller deluxe
with Lug

I'd love to see a Lug retooled from TR Rewind - as that's the toy she was based on - but alas, it shall likely never be

nah
she's gotta turn into a backpack for her lovey.
