Personally i am a huge Brawn fan of the original G1 series, sadly i feel there has never been a figure as far as what ive seen that really does him justice(sure the original is classic, but laughable at the same time). I was dying to see his name in the Universe line-up but its not lookin good :-x

. So besides me does anyone have any favorite characters they're pissed off they cant own in a proper figure form?

The greatest injustices, toywise, are for G1 Ratchet, G1 Ironhide, and G1 Arcee. All three were main characters with inferior toys, or in Arcee's case no toy at all. I do not count the Robot Heroes, PVCs, Botcon, Energon, Movie incarnations since none of them are a transformable Arcee figure like in the cartoon.

Sandstorm and Springer.

I could care less for Arcee, my Energon one works just fine.

I agree with you about Brawn but Cybertron Overhaul is a very nice homage to him so I'd reccomend that if you want a Brawn-looling figure.
As for figures that need to be done justice:
G1 Wheeljack(Energon Downshift's a nice homage though)
G1 Ironhide & Ratchet
G1 Cyclonus
Orion Pax & Dion

I agree with the Brawn thing too though I got a nice custom on ebay recently where Energon Strongarm was repainted as Brawn and it works nicely. The large axe really suits Brawn.

Any of the combiners. Having gotten the KO oversized Bruticus, I really feel it's a shame all of the G1 combiners were not done in this scale. Onslaught is the same size as Ultra Magnus and Brawl looks so cool up against Sideswipe.

Even as a kid I felt they were too small. No imagination could ever have Motormaster look cool going up against Prime in his current sizing. Pity really.

Combiners
Sixshot
Runamuck and Runabout
Throttlebots
Ratchet and Ironhide
Hot Rod (would love to see a remolded G1 Sideswipe done as Hot Rod)
Rodimus Prime
Blurr
Most Pretender inner robots

Scourge. What happened to our beloved leader of the Sweeps. We need a better G1 scourge, not some dinosaur thing.

I'd like to see the minibots redone and the forgotten trucks from G1 - Trailbreaker, Grapple, Hoist. There have been some great alternator kitbashes of those 3 that hasbro could have done cheaply but didn't

Ultra Magnus has really gotten the rough end of the stick in recent years.

The Throttlebots and Battlechargers could do with an update too.

Thanks for the tip, i checked him out but unfortunetly still isnt my cup of tea. Perhaps someday....

Movie Megatron.

You have to be worried when your best toy version (by far) is a Fast Action Battler.

by **ultra tron** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 9:12 pm

Movie Blackout-too small. He practically a deluxe figure.

Was his size determined by his role in the movie? It still makes me scratch my head.

Victory Saber. Granted the original toy is amazing and totally does justice to the character but the price makes my wallet cry. And it's been almost 20 years now and the best new version was the RobotMasters version which could have been a LOT better.

The Zone/Battlestars characters could use some love too.
