Arcee by a country mile. Everybody else in the works for all lines should be delayed for Generation 1 Arcee. Until she finally gets her toy screw everybody else. And this would be a great promotion: First ten people to preorder from HTS get a pound of flesh from the asshat who canceled her planned toy in 1986.

Do you mean the terrible Chromedome redeco or the even terrible-r new mold of her?

I mean the new mold based on her first model sheet that only made it to early prototype stages. It doubtless would have looked better had it been completed.

The Chromedome rcolour plan was in 1988.

When they come to a character that doesn't have a figure in a relatively appropriate scale (for example, Legends Trailbreaker doesn't count), they have to stop watching and go make that toy.

Now GO. Trailbreaker, Gears, Shockwave, Dinobots... The time for GREAT JUSTICE is now comrades!

This, a thousand times this.

And comic two-packs of humans, too.

Leader class scorponok, liokaiser , hot rod, and we really need blackout or grindor.

I thought about this again this morning, and I would also like to see a new Galvatron figure. I mean, Universe Galvatron is a toy you either love or hate (and I think most probably hate), but even if you love him, he's got his share of flaws. For one, he can barely stand... I know he's supposed to be crazy, but not falling-down drunk! I've never held the Cybertronian Megatron in hand, but that toy looks a heck of a lot more sturdy than the Galvy that we have now.

So with a head and cannon re-tool, plus a shiny new purple paint job, wouldn't "Cybertronian Galvatron" be one of the best incarnations of the character to date? He would fit in well scale-wise with most of his minions (Scourge, Cyclonus, the Seekers) and have a mode that is far closer to his cartoon portrayal than an "earth tank with an orange death ray".

As a bonus, they could get a new figure from that mold... who else are they gonna make from it?

I've never thought of that, but it's a great idea. A retool of WfC Megatron would make a great Galvatron.

Yeah, and I'd even buy it so that I could retire my Universe Galvy...

Or maybe I'd just consider him Galvatron II:http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Galvatron_II

I just thought of another one!

How about WFC Shockwave?

by **DJLazer** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 11:10 pm

I want Roadbuster, Snapdragon, Blaster's cassettes, and Soundwave's cassettes.

Arcee (G1, futuristic car)
Triplechangers Springer and Blitzwing
Powermaster Optimus Prime (combining trailer)
Ultra Magnus (combining trailer)
Trailbreaker/cutter
Shockwave
Devastator/Constructicons (proper, three-mode combiners)
G1 Blurr
Rodimus Prime
Blaster
Sunstorm
Nemesis Prime/Scourge (G2 Prime repaint)
Galvatron (Voyager, cannon alt mode)

Finish the Minibots in Scout class, even Wheelie, and especially Brawn.

For Beast Wars: Tigatron (NEW, not a repaint of Cheetor)

Cybertronian mode Bumblebee, Wheeljack, Jazz and seekers from More than Meets the Eye.

Thunderwing (redo the "shell" in Voyager class, and make the "inner bot" in Scout class. Pretender gimmick not needed, but some form of interaction would be nice, such as Seaspray/Breacher and Mindwipe/Skystalker.)

The cool thing with that is that it could easily double as a Generations/ Universe/ Classics Shockwave. Win/Win for us and Hasbro. Though...I'd still really prefer to see Shockwave as a Voyager.

So you want Shockwave to be bigger than Megatron?

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 10:55 am

Which Megatron? He'd be bigger than WFC Megatron as a Voyager, but line up just fine next to Classics Megatron.

News Credits: 1 · by **Skywarp64** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 5:43 pm

I'm talking about the WFC one. Maybe they could make a Voyager for classics and a deluxe for Generations?

I want a Shockwave that could stand toe to toe and eye to eye with my Classics Megatron first and foremost. If they made him a deluxe, then he'd stand as such with my WFC Megatron.

I was thinking of something along these lines, too.
Although any classics voyager Shockwave will do for me. :lol:

Hear that, Hasbro? Just give us Shockwaves.

G1 Rodimus Prime's toy sucked, Titanium Rodimus Prime had a gaping hole through its side in robot mode, MP Rodimus Prime insanely expensive... maybe Generations should make a new Rodimus Prime deluxe! (Yes, I know we already have an RTS Hot Rod.)

Doubtful. And the RTS Rodimus is actually a slight repaint of of the Classics figure of the same character.

Legends Gears!

No, he's a slight repaint of Hot Rod.

So, you're saying we should get a new Rodimus Prime figure, and not just a Rodimus aka Hot Rod repaint, am I right?
