The figure looks feminine enough--at least the legs and feet do. The chest could be a little curvier, but there's a significant chest/waist ratio that I suppose I could buy as feminine. The arms are kind of butch.

HK, we need more sexy ass-kicking fembots.

I don't know, I think I have seen male transformers with pretty large chest plates and chassis that could seem more curvaceous then this Elita-1. But she is a repaint of Cybertron's Thunderblast.

She looks plenty feminine to me. The only thing that seems out of place is because of the "Matrix" in her chest. They could of and probly should of left that out of the mold and just given her some clevage in her boobs.

I never really understood why a Decepticon has a "Matrix" ingraved in her chest in the first place. Not that it is actully The Matrix just that the way it's shaped looks like the Matrix.

I can't really answer the first part of the question cause I have so many favorites that it's hard to choose. Top of the list would be G1 Prime, Soundwave, PM Prime and Classics Starscream. Can't answer the second question cause I strive to get the ones I don't have. Lets put it this way. Top of my list: G1 Shockwave and G1 Springer. And I guess to answer the third question would be a 7 in tall version of Robot Master Optimus Prime with rubber tires and a trailer.

As for as the secondary topic goes, I don't think so but I think it might work for an internet exclusive type thing like mattycollector is doing. Maybe they could do it at transformerclub or transformers.com or HTS.

Speaking of Thunderblast's Matrix, Marvel Thunderwing had an affinity for the Matrix. Plus I think a female Prime is long overdue. We could call her Primera if Nissan lets us away it.

Fave toy I have: Tough one. Few that I often fiddle with are G1 Ironhide with custom head, Acid Storm, G1 Prowl, G1 Scorponok, G1 Megatron, Mega SCF Rodimus

Suppose it has to be Ironhide. The custom head makes some difference.

Fave toy I had: G1 Wheeljack

Fave toy I never had: Once would have said a set of G2 Stormtroopers but that grail was obtained in the last year. I suppose the full set of War Within Seekers.

Fave toy they never produced: In scale Menasor/Stunticons so I can reproduce their battle with Ultra Magnus in the Dreamwave's War and Peace. It would go great with my oversized Bruticus.

Figure I own: Toy R us exclusive Soundwave

Used to own: Beast Wars Quickstrike (he Broke )

Wished I owned: Mazda RX 8 Shockblast

Wished Hasbro would make: Classics Universe/ROTF Shockwave or Universe Soundwave

Favorite Transformer toy that...

You own.

You use to own and wish you still had.

You have never owned but wish you did.

Was never actully made as a toy but you wish Hasbro would hurry up and fix that problem.

My favorite I own so far: Masterpiece Starscream.

I used to have a lot of the Robots in disguise line, but they all got broken up over time. My dad actually got me the Botcon exclusive Sideswipe in G1 red. I have no idea where it wen, but I have his box.

I never owned but I want: MP 04, and MP Megatron (Who I'm getting shortly) But I want MP 04 IN THE WORST WAY.

As for your third question, deffinately would love to see a MP Soundwave, MP Galvatron, and MP Sunstorm.

As for your Sub topic, I really don't understand what you are trying to ask.

What's not to understand?

Over the years there have been many Transformers characters who have appeared in the cartoons and comics who have never had toys made of them. I think there just might be enough of these characters to fill their own toy line if Hasbro ever made any of them.

Favorite that I own is G1 Predaking.

Favorite that I use to own and wish I still did is G1 Omega Supreme.

Favorite that I never owned but wished I did is Fortress Maximus.

Favorite that I wish Hasbro would make is a movie accurate Unicron.

my favorite is movie landmine. yeah i said it.
my second is classics sunstreaker. there's so much you can make out of him

Armada Unicron is not too different from the original. His... mouth? can we call it that? In Planet mode is not accurate at all but I think it could be a few modifications. Then all you'd need to do is take out all the Mini-con gimics mainly the crator that Dead End sits in. And lastly allthough this one would be the hardest to rework without simply removing them in robot mode. The planet shell that forms into his wings. Quite frankly I never liked how he looks with thoughs on anyway and he looks so much more like G1 Unicron without them. But other than takeing them off what else could they be used for?

Just about every TF toy sence Beast Wars unless it was a repaint of a G1 Toy has had storage spaces in both modes for all their un-used accessories. The G1 toys never had this and because of that alot of their accories were verry easy to get lost. Haveing just a few of them I've realized this verry quickly as I've allready lost Optimus Prime's gun, Ultra Magnus's Guns, and larger hands. The smaller hands fit verry nicely into the cab so I don't have to worry about them so much.

Oh and I lied, I allmost forgot about MP Prime sitting on top of my TV who has his gun and AX sitting between him and the Megatron gun that came with him. 3 Accessories that have no storage space in vehicle mode but then again he is based on a G1 character.

At any rate I much prefer when all the loose parts have some use or at least some place to hide them in a mode they're not actully used in. So, maybe if the planet shell was remolded so it could some how fold up and store inside him or just come off and form a shield in robot mode, either would be better than forming part of his wings. They just don't look good as his wings. They just kinda sit there verry loose and just look like they don't belong because of it.

Yes, unfortunately it is.

Actuality a few G1 toys had storage spaces for accessories.

About that, I read through real fast on that.

So, anyway. I think it's the opposite, there are more Transformers exclusively made as toys, that never DID appear in the comic/show.

More so in the movie line, which is comprised of fake characters based off non transformable vehicles in the movie. (IE the Catillac Escalade, The Cargo plane, the video game drones, the OVERUSED repaints, and then all the made up characters)

Find me a character that never got his respective toy, and I'll eat my words.

Well, just about every single G1 Fembot (I know Arcee has a few toys but they don't Transform.), Beast Wars Tripticus Council (Technically they had toys but the toys had nothing to do with the characters who actully appeared on the show.), Beast Machines Botanica, and a countless number of Cybertronian mode characters such as nearly everyone from War Within who doesn't allready have a Titanium figure.

I would however agree that there are far more toy only characters than show only. Allthough the movie line I think is really the only toy line where the toy only characters are at least based off vehicles that were actully in the movie rather than random alt modes we never see at all. Allso I can't say the same from the rest of them but I know Arcee was originally planed to be in the first movie and was cut from the script but her alt mode was still used for the movie so it's likely that her toy was based off an actual character. And I like her original movie design better than the even bigger piece of crap they came up with when they finally did use her in the sequilL. Why didn't they use the exsiting design rather than makeing her even uglier than she allready was?
