After seeing first set of encore figure I wonder what figures are yet to come. I know that there doing ironhide and rachet. But which ones would you guys like to see done that haven't been done in reissue line of figures.

-six shot
-stunticons
i mean,
it's hard to say if you look at all the reissues, there's not a ton of mainline figures left to do,
maybe guys like warpath, powerglide?
but you can find the original's on ebay pretty cheaply.

i'd prefer takara to just give us black zarak instead of going the ehobby route :grin:

wheeljack (the mold is lost right?)

by **MegatronBomb** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 11:39 am

all the ones from the TFC collection since I didnt get any of them.

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 12:25 pm

Yeah, pretty much all the ones I didn't get the first time around:

God Ginrai
Skywarp
Skids
Perceptor
Hound
Smokescreen

...I dunno, maybe that's it?

It would be cool if they could do all the ones they say they'll never make... Sunstreaker, Wheeljack, Mirage...

I'd prefer someone new. I don't see much point to this is they're just gonna stick with guys that have already been reissued. I can understand the reappearance of the main characters, but ... you know. Ebay. Conventions. They fill the void.

So ...
Shockwave (Tomy ownd the mold last I heard, so he's a possibility.)
Gnaw (rare and famous)
A set of Soundwave's cassettes (we have those knock offs, but .... yeah, I'd like to see a nice army for Soundwave)
Artfire (to compliment my non-existant Stepper)
Deathsaurus (purely for the badass looks)
Arcee (Hey, she had a G1 prototype!)
G1 Beach-call-icron (I can dream, can't I?)

...and you heard this WHERE? :shock:

I'd love to see it happen because Shockwave's my favorite character, but AFAIK this still cannot happen. I know They secured the rights to use the name 'Shockwave' as opposed to 'Shockblast', but I've never heard anything about them acquiring the rights to the mold in recent times.

I support reissuing a cassette collection for both Soundwave and Blaster - who should also join the ranks of the Encores.

Thrust and Ramjet should be next up, as Dirge, 'cracker and Skywarp were released as well.

Reflector might do well, I think. He/they deserve(s) another proper release, not like that mail-order junk back in the day.

And given how writers seem to be using Runamuck and Runabout quite a bit these days in comics, I'd love to see them again. They should be relatively cheap, too.

Well, I heard it here. On the forums. Back when the Takara / Tomy merger was taking place. Maybe it was proven wrong and that was an errant post, but that's what I heard.

Anyhow, this is a Japanese release, so it'll be "Laserwave" if it's done.

Feh, they can call him "Monocular Moron' for all I care. I just want to see him around again!

by **Mura** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 1:28 pm

Blaster/Steeljaw combo. I missed it the first time around. :(

by **Sloptank** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 1:49 pm

Stunticons, for sure.

by **Dagon** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 1:56 pm

I think we'll get the same stuff that's already been reissued. If you want another Inferno reissue because you didn't get it the first time or the second time, why not just look on eBay or something? I've got the original reissues that I wanted, so why should I not get any new reissues because some people didn't buy them when they came out or won't pay a little more for them now?

Personally, I'd like reissue *-masters, and G1s that were Japan-only.

Devastator, Shockwave, Browning, Meanosor, Bruticus, Trypticon.

by **Edgewise** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 2:41 pm

Top of the list for me is Trailbreaker. I believe he's the one Autobot car that got one of those limited edition Takara reissues but that didn't get more widely released with the Takara book reissues or Hasbro reissues.

Ironhide and Ratchet didn't get reissued either.

Ironhide and rachet are about to be reissued in the encore series.

They are? Well, that's nice, they deserve some love. I mean, not from me. I won't be getting them. But they do deserve some.

Devastator. Unlikely to happen. Still, Devastator.

I think the mold disintigrated.

That's a good one! Trailbreaker hasn't felt the love like the other bots have through reissues or the Binaltech treatment.

Yeah I'm pretty sure most people won't be getting ironhide and rachet. There is just something creepy about how that smiley face stares out at you from behind there windshields.

I am going to get them and then get the reprolabels update set to give them their G1 like faces.

I would like to see:

Browning
Reflector
Japanese Dinocassettes 4 pack
Metroplex
Springer
Protectobots
Monstructor/Dinoking
Individual Headmasters 6 pack
Artfire
