Yes, Now is the right time to make a Guiltor toy.

Devastation Rodimus, Hound, and especially Hardhead.

Yes, band together! Let your voices heard! Demand Guiltor be made, even if it would be just a modified Optimus Prime!

And Super-Megatron had a protoype(or something, maybe it's a custom?):





Actually, I think it might be a custom.

Did Emerate Xarron have an alt. mode? And just for the heck of it, Impactor and Rack & Ruin, even if they are robot replicas/revoltech/or something.

I've seen that. Awsome ain't it? And I'm pretty sure it's a custom.

Xarron had an alt mode but never used it because "after centuries of disuse it might kill him". But it was probably a tank. When a TF transforms into nothing it transforms into a tank.

So, no he didn't. It was the Marvel era and alt modes were sketchy at best (they were taking a cue from the TV show I suppose). HOWEVER! He CAN be redesigned! So long as he's gold and has a funky mouth I'm happy.

And thinking on Gultar again, he'd actually be really nice to have since we have those unofficial Quints around. But ... licenses can be tricky. I think they'd have to get the manga's publisher's permission before getting a go on making a toy.

I'll second this emotion. I would love a Jhiaxus figure.

So far the only IDW stuff I've read is Stormbringer, but having just read that, I think Bludgeon and Thunderwing are deserving of toys too.

Well both characters will soon be done as (extremely limited) model kits from the same people bringing us the Super Festival Galvatron. I do wonder whether these are going to show more than a hint of IDW inspiration in the designs.

You read my mind, I was just thinking about how sweet a voyager or leader class Lord Straxus would be. He was bad-ass.

All though these figures just scream make now right away don't wait. Put me in classics 2.0/universe line but give them special packaging something like evolution of hero or something catch like that.

I love all these ideas

ok, here is s imple plan of attack that Hasbro could do, it wouuld give us G-1 fans a nice nodd, and make for a great toy series..

1. Take the Robot Masters Mold and Increase the size a bit to Voyager, rework the legs and some bits...

2. Increase the size of the Titanium's War Within Optimus Prime, recast him in all plastic..and also give him a little rework as well..

Then offer them in a 2-Pack called Evolution of a Leader!!!




Next

1. Rework slightly the Classics Megatron, with a G-1 Colorscheme, with an orange tip only, no nerf colors...little more articulation in the legs as well..

2. Increase the size of Titanium's War Within Megatron, to match classics Megs, rework the design a bit, and cast him all in Plastic as well....

Then offer them in a 2-Pack called Evolution of Evil!!!




On a side note, i'll Never understand why the Robot Masters mold wasn't imported in the first place for the classics line..it's a pretty close approximation of the Original G-1 Prime and the Masterpiece..it has it's faults which could be corrected if increased to a Voyager class.. but the toy itself is really quite nice..




he's like a mini Masterpiece!!!


He even looks better then the cartoon accurate Mega SCF Figure!!! Which i thought was hard to do..



Hasbro why would you give us that crummy Spinblade attack version of Optimus Prime in classics when this guy was soooo much better???

Hem, I like them two packs!
Good idea!

Now I kinda feel the urge to go and get myself that RM Convoy, he's starting to appeal to me!

oh yeah, i forgot about those... IDW's Twing and 'specially Bludgeon deserve figures. I'd love how'd they do Bludgeon this time around, with a much better Pretender shell and a fully-posable robot mode.

Outside of War Within and Hearts Of Steel, I want these G.I. JOE TFs, by cracky:
Rolling Thunder Optimus
Dominator Megatron
Night Raven Starscream (Devil's Due)
Whatever that other Cobra jet was Miller designed for the Seekers/clones (I can't remember what it is off the top of my head - it's one of the sketches in the back of the TPB - anybody?) (Devil's Due)
Motorbike/Sidecar Bumblebee (DW)
That armored ATV Ironhide (DW)
Tank Grimlock (DW)
Railgun Shockwave (DW)
Pimpmobile Jazz (undercover) (Devil's Due)

Agreed.



Havin seen pics of the two in the back of Spotlight Nightbeat, I wants them soooo bad!


But doesn't standard mode Nova Prime look a lot like Energon Rodimus? And Sentinel a bit like Cybertron Prime?

I really, really(, rly!) want Cybertron versions of Lio Convoy and Magmatron. At the very least a Cybertronian Lio Convoy. Preferably with vac-metalized/transmetal gold on his mane and the other gold bits. He would look sweeeetah!
Magmatron would be pretty funky too. I'd like to see what his cybertronian alt-modes were first though.

Obviously Nova Prime. Sentinel Prime not to much, at least not with the IDW design. Nove Prime is awesome.

can't think of any really great ones at the moment, obviously a lot of the War Within designs would be cool, and even some going back to the G1 comics and cartoons, but nothing I'm really pining for.

Hey Skywarp-2 you said they could make the RM Convoy as big as classics Megatron?
Look!
KO RM Prime

Jhiaxus, settle for a repaint of Cybertron Starscream, the one that comes with Vector Prime

Straxus, settle for repainted Energon Megatron with remolded head

Nova and Sentinel Prime, anyone else prefer Marvel comics Prime Nova? I just feel it has a better ring to it than Nova Prime.

im in the process of making a nova prime im using the energon rodimus tigerhawk wings and a big convoy head and im painting it now sux that i had to use the big convoy head though...

IDW pre-Earth Megatron.
Cybertronian Lio-Convoy.
Dynobots.
Shockwave (WW, IDW version, I don't care! I just want a new Shockwave).

That's great to know. But I have to wonder if it'll be worth the money?

IDW Bludgeon, with purple translucent plastic for the cables on his arms and mouth and red light-piping for the eyes.
