Another idea I'll add to the list of should-be-done-but-won't-because-Hasbro-only-pander-to-GEEWUN: a new Crumplezone toy.

Don't see why they wouldn't make an update, although what I think wouldn't happen is a Crumplezone with proper proportions rather than gorilla style.

Perhaps and while some homage to Prime is nice, it isn't:

Seriously, any one of these would make a great figure. Commander Class, perhaps?

Anniversary crossovers with battletech

Marauder/Megatron/Galvatron
Cougar/Seekers
Thunderbolt/Shockwave
Clan Elemental/cliffjumper/bee/brawn

You know... With things going as it is right now, with the incredible Siege line and HasLab…

I can no longer say that HasTak will "never" realise our wildest wishes!

From someone who has waited for MP Galvatron for Primus knows how long now, I can say HasTak still has a very long list of fan wishes they will Never do.
Hundreds of characters and they still only really care for about a fifth of them. Unless you're a fan of Prime, Bumblebee, G1 etc your wishes don't matter to HasTak, regardless.

Galvatron is G1 so....

We are technically at MP-48. Rodimus Prime was MP-9 (2011), Ultra Magnus was MP-22 (2014) MP-28 Hot Rod (2016) MP-40 Hot Rod (2018) and still no sign of the second most significant Decepticon leader and contemporary to those I mentioned above. So according to HasTak, the fact Galvatron is G1, is irrelevant. He is still MIA. Although the bulk of my comment wasn't referring to him directly.

Titan Master Olin forms the head of Deluxe Class Zarak, who evolves into Leader Class Marvel Scorponok, who fills the torso/shoulders of Titan Class Headmasters Scorponok.

...actually, they might do that

Would love to see two last prime master/pretender suits made like Optimus and Megatron. Both are G1 robot retools of the Landmine mold specifically.

The main difference is Megatrons landmine gun is molded like a scope Optimus Prime special power grants infinite courage and wisdom. Megatron grants massive srength boost and power drain to amplify shots.
Optimus has a autobot matrix symbol on the pilot backside and megatron has radiation symbol.

Most importantly they should not club/event/lucky draw exclusive toys or unique to expensive bundles/pack-in.Just available separately and not exclusive to online stores or japan only.

Oh, I don't know. I still consider the Robo Capers characters and the assorted refugee Autobots from Cybertron pretty unlikely.

In truth, I think EVERY wishes regarding G1 or Beast Wars 1st season is pretty much a given.

But anything outside this?
Hmmmmm…….

The Robo Capers characters are G1. But they're one-off joke characters with googly eyes.
The Autobot refugee characters from Cybertron... Not only are they not G1, but aside from Signal Lancer none of them ever even transformed.

Speaking of the Unicron Trilogy, I'm glad that they DID made a figure of Quintesson.



It was pretty daring of them to have made a non-transforming figure in the mainline.

So, obviously, I would want the G1 Quintessons. They could sell it as a scout/legend figure. I'd buy at least 3.

One thing I do know HasTak will never make. MP Beast Machines figures.

Silly Seibertronian, you know that's what Takara's making next

I would love a Legends class Quintesson though

Who knows if theyll do it. I'd love see them try to fix their Deluxe BM Optimus Primal (blue shuriken) or a much better version of Deluxe BM Silverbolt in a Generations line instead of masterpiece.

Armada Demolishor from Brunt with turret arms and tread shins.

I don't think they're currently willing to do that much remolding to the Weaponizers, so this is definitely the right thread for this. I still say Demolishor from Impactor would be perfect though.

Amen to the lack of retooling, and it's a darn shame - not that the current offerings (especially for resused toolings) are anywhere near bad, but the weaponizers could truly be anything with enough imagination and reconfiguration

MPM '07 Megatron is out.
In some years, they will make MPM ROTF Megatron.

So before they FINALLY make MPM DOTM Megatron, it will be a freaking decade or what? I want a MPM DOTM Megatron because the SS leader is garbage with his huge blocky legs.

I wouldn't say its impossible,but its gonna take a while.I imagine they could do all of the Vehicons before we get the Maximals.

EDIT

Here's the thing with MP Beast Machines, in general the Vehicon figures were better than the show designs. The Maximals were horrendous either way. If anything, what I would like to see would be the first wave MP aesthetic, applied to MP Beast Machines Vehicons. Realistic, MP scaled versions of the original toys. Not the Anime+ that show accurate MP BM's could translate into.

Since I am in a minority that finds Siege Jetfire unappealing due to lack of interest in the G1 design, I suppose I'll mention the Jetfire I DO want: a new Generations mold for Unicron Trilogy Jetfire. I'd honestly like to see any of his three UT designs get an update, I liked all three of them, although the Armada and Energon ones probably need the update more than Cybertron (and the Cybertron one was also the least visually interesting). Plus all three of then have repaint potential obscure enough to be Selects releases (Spacewarp, Overcast, and Sky Shadow, respectively).

...but they won't happen because Siege Jetfire exists and therefore HasTak won't make another Generations Jetfire figure for like 5 years, and apparently UT updates can only exist as remolds/repaints right now, so all I can do is sigh and continue to hold out hope for Demolishor as an Impactor retool.

Non-G1 does get sidelined more often than not. As I've said before, Transformers is a 35 y/o franchise with an unhealthy fixation on the first three...
Car Robots has it's 20th anniversary next year, lets see if HasTak even bother to acknowledge it?

Meanwhile, from UT, personally I've really love to see this guy get a modern remake:



Regardless of his initial status as a repaint, I'd love to see this UM get some real acknowledgement. Completely different to any Prime design, while big and imposing. Cybertronian vehicles shouldn't look like Human ones. The basic concept of a heavy transport with a trailer is fine, but when they themselves are the vehicles, they wouldn't need space for a human style cabin/cockpit, would they??? Or tyres...

Much in the same way, for as good as they look, SIEGE mostly ignores that difference, other than with the Tetrajets. For Example:

Ignoring This:




In favour of this:

I really love the Siege line, but appart the Tetrajets, shockwave and Soundwave, I cant see any of these vehicles as being "Cybertronian". For a TRUE Cybertronian look, we much go back to the Activision games.

Activision killed off the franchise for reasons. So I'd really love for Hasbro to lend the license to another company and make a new toy line based on the game designs.
