Porsche has been a stick-in-the-mud since Alternators, Jazz was supposed to be a Porsche model at first before HasTak diverted to Mazda.

Still, we get a MP BB. Maybe Porshe will stop being "hitler traumatised" like WW and see the $ in licencing.

For now, let's enjoy our G1 Jazz and Super Gobots Baron Von Joy.

Well Takara got the license to make Bumblebee a licensed VW Beetle, and Volkswagen owns Porsche, so...

huh... id heard a lot about VW over the years but not porsche. thanks for the info guys.

Let's hope they do the maths!

Just thought of yet another one, forgive me if it's already been mentioned.

I want a Legends/"Cyberverse" class Unicron. I like the idea of carrying around a tiny Unicron in my pocket and it bugs me that the ones that already exist (Robot Heroes and Titanium Series) don't transform.

I'm sure this has been said before, probably even by myself. But I'll say it again.

2007 Leader Class Blackout. I want that sooooooooo bad.

This. So much this.

EDIT: Double posted. Whoops!

It also had been said a lot before, but a Leader DTOM Megatron is needed.

Also, while we're at it, a Leader Galvatron. Why not make the same as the voyager, but with an added step of hiding the backpack inside Galvatron's body, if it's possible?

Wound up on the sixth page of the thread somehow and saw these two requests:

Looks like they got around to it.

Anyhow, my unreasonable desires du jour...

Combiner Wars versions of Landfill and Ruination.

If they make a Bruticus, Ruination would be easy, posssibly some minor mold tweaks to better resemble the RiD/Car Robots animation models.

Landfill, obviously, would need a little more reworking, but since he still had a scramble-esque system in place it could work as an update. Wedge would go from smallest team member to largest, Grimlock (the green steamshovel) would need a different name, and they'd have to gain a fifth member, but it's doable. Potential remold based on Energon's "Constructicon Maximus"?

There is no way a Combiner Wars version of Rail Racer would work, or at least no way it would look right with a Voyager train and four Deluxe trains.

Wedge would still work really well as the smallest team member. I'm sure they could do a standard five member team (doubt a $150 Landfill will sell as well as Devastator) with Wedge the sixth Legend figure as the chest and head. Grimlock = torso, Hightower = limb, Heavy Load = limb and maybe a cement mixer and front end loader. That is a very Constructicon-like line up, so maybe the two new members could have different alt modes, but Wedge would still work well.

G1 reissue Dinobots (real not KO). Never going to happen since the molds are gone.

Holy scrap...I thought that was right, Martinis for everyone!!!

An hasbro official have said they are open to the suggestion that Devy gets turned into the build team in the future. I still want prowlastator though

I'm not a comics fan, but I'd prefer a prowlastator out of Devy before Landfill. That's coming from a big R.I.D. fan, I would hate a Build Team that was just a repaint of the Constructicons.

G1 Allicons
Kranix
Arblus
Alpha-Trion (G1 styled)

I'll try to go with something I never asked.


How about COMBINERS WARS PREDAKING?

Sure, the modern vesion will never be as massive like the original, but I'd like to see an OFFICIAL modern interpretation of the toy rather than pay for the 3rd party.

There's always the second year of Combiner Wars. ..Unless hasbro are going to use prime predaking in robots in disguise. ..Then there's going to have to be a name change

Combiner Wars Seacons with a female Tentakil (or just replace him with Scylla) and limbs that can all become a BFG for Piranacon, ala the G1 toy (which I own courtesy of Mkall, and swapping the limb/weapon configuration around is the most fun thing ever). I can see them just doing Nautilator as a Legends figure that can be a weapon, but I want my Scramble City Targetmaster gimmick goddamnit!

Generations Blackarachnia. Probably never happening because of how risque her in-show model was.

A decent Airrachnid toy. I don't care if it's a deluxe or a voyager, just give the lady a second chance, Hasbro!

Delta Magnus wrote:Generations Blackarachnia. Probably never happening because of how risque her in-show model was.

i dont think she was any more risque the prime arcee, or the recent generations arcee/chromia.

The Combiner Wars packaging doesn't tend to mention the sixth member from what I've been seeing, so Grimlock should maybe still have the head (or an alternate head).

And for the two new guys, different alt modes would be good, especially since this would be an opportunity to make a steamroller Transformer, which would be an alt-mode Hasbro's never done before. As for the other guy, I seem to recall a (non-fiction) TV show where guys were digging out a cave and one of the things they used to do it was sort of like a real-life drill tank, maybe that could work?

ZeroWolf wrote:..Unless hasbro are going to use prime predaking in robots in disguise.

I hope they do. Putting the Predacons out there like that and then just acting like they're gone doesn't sit well with me. I'd like to see them come back. Hasbro seems done with them, though. Shame.

Delta Magnus wrote:Generations Blackarachnia. Probably never happening because of how risque her in-show model was.

Actually, probably never happening because the show model cheated a lot in going from mode to mode, and engineering her to look right in both modes, or even to look right in one mode without the other becoming a total disaster, seems likely to be physically impossible.

Prowlastator would probably look too similar. I think a separate Prowl that works with the Devastator already slated for release would probably be a more realistic choice.

And yeah, a Devastator repaint would be a horrible way to do the Build Team. That sort of thing may have flown in 2003, but nowadays they generally manage to do better. With you both on that.

Maybe Grimlock could have a combiner head that was similar to the old Landfill and Wedge was just the chest armour, would still work well. Wedge would still basically be what he was in R.I.D.

Good ideas on the alt modes, a drill tank would probably be a given if the Technobots are really going to happen next year. Can't be that many repaint/retool options there.
