I thought it was obvious.

I would like Hasbro to remake the Star Wars Cross Overs Darth Vador / Death Star.

He would still have the same light and sounds gimmick and the Death Star would still be able to launch a missile one way or another. But this time, make him TRULY Supreme class, Unicron Size. Then, remove all "storage bins" and minifigs. And finally, the tricky design part. Make the shells of the Death star unforl in a seamless and flowing cape.

How could they do this? Lotls of pegs and hinges, and maybe a clue from Leader HFTD Starscream, where a pair of wing parts have a "chain" inside. If you own a Leader Movie Starscream that you transformed a few times, you know whay I'm talking about.

a masterpiece Armada Optimus

Granted it's more likely Takara would do it, but I'd like to see a WW2-inspired mini-line with all the characters taking on '40s wartime vehicle modes. For example:

>Megatron as a King Tiger.
>The Seekers as Panzerknacker Stukas (the ones with the sod-off-huge anti-tank guns on the wings).
>Shockwave as the Dora railway gun.
>The Combaticons with Brawl as a Panzer II, Swindle as a Kubelwagen (basically a Jeep), Onslaught as a half-track, Blast Off as an ME 163 rocket plane, and Vortex as a Heinkel 111 (Helicopters didn't exist in the second world war).
>Optimus as a "Green Goddess" military fire engine.
>Ironhide as a Churchill tank.
>Arcee as a '40s Cadillac.
>The Aerialbots with Silverbolt turning into a B-17 Flying Fortress, Slingshot turning into a Spitfire, Fireflight turning into a Mustang, Air Raid turning into a Vought Corsair and Skydive turning into a Hurricane.

Of course we'll never get this because there is absolutely no way Hasbro would touch anything Nazi related with a 10 foot pole.

Still, I would REALLY like an alternate reality line where the Transformers arrived on earth in the 1930's. I LOVE TFs changing into old classics!

Happenned plenty of times in the Platinum line so far. G2 Optimus, MP-10, MP Soundwave, Prime Ultra Magnus, Energon Omega Supreme. Granted, those feature redecos and remolding, but they kinda count.

A Cybertron Ransack retool (or even just redeco)...

...of Combiner Wars Groove

You know you see it.

(And it would work with that Smolder retool of Hot Spot I want. :grin:

)

Combiner Wars Ratchet (redeco w/ new head and weapon for First Aid) and Bulkhead (redeco w/ new head and wrecking ball weapon for Rook). Add those to the the wave 1 Optimus and the upcoming Smokescreen and Wheeljack, and I could make a Prime-themed combiner.

And if you wanna go to the next level with a prime combiner, throw in a blackjack/groove repaint of bumblebee/arcee!

What would I like that will never get made?? I'm mostly in to traditional wave 1/2 G1 characters... so I'm not sure what I want that really IS 'off the table'.

I know one I don't think i'll ever see... Masterpiece or Deluxe G1 Camshaft...

My second car was 85' RX-7 and I always had a soft spot for that guy (regardless of HORRIBLE robot mode..) Seeing as how the RX-7's are gone and the character never had much exposure... I REALLY don't suspect I'll ever get a modernized Camshaft.

It'd have to be Bee, since the CW chestplate guys are sadly not interchangeable.

I'd check the combiner wars thread before making such brazen statements. A board member has just posted images of legends Groove attached to the Optimus mold.

I kinda want a series of "popular-movie-vehicles" TFs

Megatron= That giant spiky truck from MadMax
Ratchet= Ecto-1
Bumblebee= Herbie
Silverstreak= BTTF Delorean
Hound= Armored truck from Aliens
Jetfire= Dropship from Aliens
Batman= 1989 Batmobile/Nolan's Tumbler
Other vehicles: K.I.T.T, Kaneda's bike, JurassicPark Jeep

Also, a M.A.S.K. X TF crossover series would be cool!

Yup. Cobs is the king of combiners. Visit his Collect-O-tron and check out this Article for all kinds of Legendary Combiner fun ;)^

Let me rephrase, they weren't intended to be interchangeable.

(And technically, doesn't Blackjack need a way to attach to Hot Spot as well before they can genuinely be called interchangeable?)

Powerglide isn't supposed to be used as a chestplate, but people have found a way to use him as such. Hotspot hasn't reached saturation yet, give people a chance to see if they to try the blackjack/rodimus mold with him.
