1. the dinobots
2. mirage
3. wheeljack


Just like we will never get an MP Megatron that looks like a gun? Or that they would never re-issue Optimus Prime (again)? That same old argument? The molds are out there, just not owned by TT and more. Hasbro has said many times there is no profit in it for them to resurect such old and unappealing molds.

Besides, all of those that you mentioned have been "re-issued" as high quality KOs.

I think it was the decals not the cars them selfs.

Well, they are as loved as any other series one character from G1. Except these have not ben reissued, and even before the reissues, these were 2 of the hardest to find in mint cdition. Wheeljack is almost always incomplete and very hard to complete, and Mirage is notorious for breaking at the waist.

After the reissues, well, I'd say these 2 along with Sunstreaker have to be on everyone's most wanted list.

And for a lot of us, KO's don't count.

Truthfully, I don't really care much for the old G1 toy versions of Mirage or Wheeljack. I like the Energon and Classic versions (respectively) better. But I can see why people would want a G1 origional mold.

The dinobots are neat, but I think I'm happy with the WSTF versions. And really .... just how expensive do the KOs have to be? I might as well buy a vintage complete Dino .... it might be marginally more expencive, but not by a whole lot! And it'd be a REAL TF.
