I would love to see LioKaiser get his treatment, no repaint please, just a Super posable and badass Gestalt!!

Star Saber..not done like the RM version, which was nic..but a Large Voyager class or Super Class version..and not a repaint of Jetfire either..but a cool new Jetformer!! with a Badass sword!!

Dezaurus!! The baddest DinoBot Monster ever!!

Pretty much, alot of the Victory universe!!! StarSaber, next to Optimus Prime is my favorite Autobot from G-1..

I figured out why i love Liokaiser sooo Much.. he's a Decepticon version of Voltron!!!

Thanks Makotron!!

I'll bite, since I was just talking about it with a fellow collector last night.

I truly implore Hasbro to do all G1 characters from the first 3 years. No character from that time period should be off-limits, obviously the only real obstacle would be ownership of the names. After that, be a little more selective. Also include canonical Japanese G1 as much as possible.

My preferred list:

Wheeljack(And actually call him that on the package.)
Ratchet and Ironhide(As vans!!)
Trailbreaker
Hound
Shockwave
Blitzwing
Omega Supreme(Bring back bases!)

And I'd like to see some of the "Masters" (Head, Power, etc.) get the classics treatment.

...to name a few. Sky's the limit, really.

METROPLEX!

But that ain't gonna happen.

My next choice is Bluestreak.

by **OptitronPrime** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 4:54 pm

All the combiners, all the ones that PorQPine said, Scoponok would be sweet, Fort Max, hell just do all the G1 characters

News Credits: 5 · by **skywarp-2** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 5:03 pm

yeah... but I still would want to see a Great Version of Starsaber, even if he's not a head combiner or anything, even if they just do him as close as possible to th art design, and not the original toy, and he only transforms from spaceship to bot .. I would be in Star saber heaven...

check out this custom Starsaber:

This is what I imagine for classics, but with transformation..Wait!! He managed to customize the Robot Masters Version, and they still have transformation!! Awesome!!

hell this would be a good candidate for the Marvel legends style transformers I was talking about!!

Nice!!!

by **Ultra Prime** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 5:57 pm

I'm sorry but I have to say

DINOBOTS!!!! Since we'll never see non-KO reissues then I'll gladly take a classics update no problem.

More Autobot Cars!! I know Hasbro announced more Autobot cars were coming so I guess I'll have to wait and see.

The Stunticons and Protectobots would be just freakin sweet as well!

I must agree with PorQpine, all the remaining G1 characters from the first threee years would be heaven!

News Credits: 5 · by **skywarp-2** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 6:04 pm

yeah first 3 years, and then Bring in the Big baddies form the later years, and japan exclusives... like a redone Dai Atlas, or Victory Leo, or Road Ceaser.. I just like that name!!

I want a true Bruticus! And some new Insecticons!!

News Credits: 1 · by **Gauntlet101010** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 6:14 pm

A really nice Star Saber would be good. He doesn't need to be gigantic or anything, but, for me, articulation is a must ... that's what made the Robot Masters version such a dissappointment and that's what would make a sucssesful version of the character.

I'll go with Ironhide and Ratchet too.

How about Kup? The last passable "Kup" was a repaint from the Cybertron line. But a real Kup would be nice.

How about releasing those unused Shockwave and Cosmos Titaniums? Because, unlike some of their other figures, those molds actually looked rather good.

Recolor possibilities? Energon Downshift as a better Wheeljack. Movie Arcee with a remolded head as herself. A gutted MP3 Soundwave (even though they already have a Sounswave...) as himself and Blaster (be a sweet remold since we could do a kitbash MP3 Blaster). Retooling Prime slightly for a Motormaster. Retooling Grimlock or Energon Grimlock (or one of the BW Megatrons) for a Tripticon of decent size.

Pie-in-the-sky wish? Neocron. We have a line without gimmicks, Armada and Energon-cron are off the shelves ... he'd fit in. Finally.

Actually, I think Devestatior has been done to death. I got me two knockoffs of G1 Devvy, and that's good enough for me. It's pretty much how Devestator ought to look like in my mind anyway.

Edit: actually G1-inspired Insecticons would be rather nice. I've been liking their look and might pick up one of the old reissues some day...

I like your style!!

I would totally freak to see the Insecticons, in their Black, Yellow and silvery glory in the classics line..

A classics Kup would be awesome and would be a great addition to Rodimus...Shockwave and Cosmos would be wonderful too, their design kinda fits the classics look anyways..even if the transformation is simplistic..

Yes StarSaber and Victory leo were disappointments from the Robot Masters line..they had a great start, and updated the original concept.. but the final Product sucked.. However, i'm totally inspired by the Kitbash that I displayed earlier..so I'm gonna definitely try to conquer that..

I thought there were dollar store versions of them?? Is there a website that sells them? PM Me.. I'm searching for the Knock offs of the Starsaber and Victory Leo figures!!

If there are I'm buying like 4 of them for kitbashing/Parts and incase I screw them up.. I really am taken aback by those modifications done to the Robot Masters versions.. And to your point if Hasbro does Starsaber and Victory leo, they need extreme amounts of articulation.. StarSaber is like the coolest Autobot Leader I have ever seen since Rodimus Prime and Optimus Prime.. i wish that series made it's way here to the states.. or heck.. i hope Hasbro decides to do a very close version of him int he Animated TV series..either way

I want a new Updated Star Saber!! Please.. :sad:

Ironhide and Ratchet totally need their new updates and I completely endorse Counterpunch's idea of using Cybertron Mudflap as a repaint into Generation one Grapple...

I'm gonna hang back for awhile and Digibash the Mudflap into Grapple.. be back here in a bit..

News Credits: 5 · by **skywarp-2** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 10:40 pm

DigiBash complete!!

let me know if you guys think Mudflap repainted into G-1 Grapple would work in the classics line up?

News Credits: 7 · by **waaaaghlord** » Wed Nov 21, 2007 3:29 am

Insecticons have already been mentioned and I'd love to see them as basics. At a nice cheap price point they'd make fantastic army builders. Others in a similar vein that could work for this being Sharkticons, Allicons and Junkions, maybe even Sweeps..

News Credits: 767 · by **Dead Metal** » Wed Nov 21, 2007 3:38 am

No, I don't think that Mudflap looks good, I don't like that toy.

The Victory Leo RM KO, I have one, it's a dissapointment, it's flimsy, transform it once and it's as loos as hell, the plastic brakes real fast, the little read plain losses his arms.

by **Silver Galvatron** » Wed Nov 21, 2007 6:07 am

Blaster.

So if I am to kitbash the RM versions I need to get the originals because the plastic is better??

I thought the Mudflap toy was pretty good, he's got a cool altmode, and has great posability, not to mention a good head sculpt.. but I understand if you don't like him..

So my final must Haves in the Classics 2.0/Universe waves are gonna be:

Starsaber
Victory Leo
Hound
Jazz
Insecticons
Dezaurus
Galvatron (we know he's coming)
Rodimus Prime
Nemesis Classics Prime
Liokaiser
Road Ceaser

I'd like to see a Scourgeified Voyager Prime with a oil tanker.

But mostly, I want Leozack, Killbison, Jalgar, Hellbat, Drillhorn, Gaihawk, and throw in DeathCobra for good measure :grin:

Oh, and make them combine!

Liokaiser is the best gestalt ever!!

Just wondering...do you own Mudflap?

He's one of those toys that might seem boring, but once he's in hand, it's just a great, fun figure.

I think it could be Grapple's cybertronian form. It'll work.

My brother has him (and broke his leg off by trying to transform him, yea he's quite an idiot), I love the altmode, it looks real awesome and kinda reminds me of a G1 bot, but I don't dig the botmode, don't know why it just doesn't appeal to me.
Hate his arms, his legs, especially his feet, his face doesn't look like a Con, more like a Bot.

by **Windsweeper** » Wed Nov 21, 2007 10:14 am

Any Actionmaster.

Blurr

Cyclonus

Any Decepticon Headmaster, especially Weirdwolf or Squeezepaly

Any Decepticon Pretender especially Skullgrin or Bludgeon even if it's only the inner robots

Jumpstarters

Even a repaint would do:

Energon Divebomb as Banzai-tron

Armada Skywarp as Skyfall

Classics Megatron with a remolded head for Treadshot

Love to see RID Ultra Magnus as Motormaster

Robotmasters Mirage as Dragstrip or G2 Double Clutch

On subject of repaints, love to see an E-Hobby repaint of G1 Sideswipe as Breakdown

Got a cool custom of Cybertron Clocker as G1 Hot Rod today on Ebay.
