The goal of TFSS seems to be filling gaps in collections or giving life to
FunPub pet projects other potential fan favorites, so if you were pitching the designs of the series, how would you approach it? Would you attempt to send out six deluxes? Five deluxes and two scouts, as is the case this year? What figures would you use to do so?
I'm going to use TFSS 1.0 as a model, save for replacing the Voyager figure with a deluxe. Thus the set is made up of six existing Transformers toys (the non-licensed molds from the movie lines,
Classics,
Universe,
Generations,
Prime and its iterations) with an allotment of two new head molds for retooling.
Here's who I'd recommend:
1.
Ser-Ket from the
Beast Hunters Ripclaw mold
A straight redeco for a fan favorite, comic-only character.
2.
Shattered Glass Ironhide from the
Universe Ironhide mold
Shattered Glass is a bit of a divisive topic, but I've enjoyed the setting quite a bit. However, I don't want to see another boxset for these guys, preferring to leak them out in pairs every two-three years.
3.
Shattered Glass Dirge from the BotCon 2007 Dirge mold
And a heroic Decepticon to pair off with the evil Autobot.
4.
War For Cybertron Barricade from the PRID Wheeljack/Dead End mold;
new head retoolingBut wait, you cry; Barricade is already getting a Prime figure. I still want one closer to his game aesthetics, and the game model fits quite well. The Dead End mold has a close relative of the head design, so that's the pic I've gone with.
5.
Gutcruncher from the
Generations Warpath mold
Your requisite Action-Master.
6.
Scrapper from
Generations Scoop,
new head retoolingThis one seems like a no-brainer, especially if we can give him a different weapon to work with
Though admittedly a bit heavy on Decepticons (I was thinking of Mainframe for the Action Master, but couldn't find an alt mode I liked) this would be my pitch. Any suggestions, Seibertronians?
