should classics 2.0/universe include some more obscure headmasters,victory,masterforce characters?

Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

The reason I ask this question is because I read about sixshot yet again being include in classics 2.0/universe. Well here a few character I thought would make cool figures, also if you can think of any obscure charcter you might include:

1. trainbots(raidian)reason because they were one of the more intresting combiners from g1, and look what they did with rid train brother image what they could do with six molds.

2.brainmaster (autobot)

3.breastmaster (decepticon) because you can't have one team without the other.

i thought the trainbots were 6 molds?

rather than obscure characters for the sake of it id like to see some characters that havent received any homages and characters from g1 that dont get any love in the reissue line because they arent series 1 bots. Cyclonus for example really needs representation

I don't think they should delve into the japanese side of things, unless they are doing repaints of US versions of the toy in a japanese exclusive color (Jazz to Stepper/Ricochet).

I don't think that Tak Tomy is picking this up, there is no evidence for or against it. They didn't get CLASSICS, they did get the movie toys.

I'd love a cool StarSaber/Victory Leo set, or a Liokaiser update, but I find them to be unrealistic because of the sheer amount of US G1 characters and toys that could use a revamp first.

I would love for them to update with a Supreme class Fortress Maximus (Grand Max or Brave Max colors), Metroplex (Metrotitan colors), and Trypticon of some sort. Each lends itself to a mold repaint, of sorts that represents a rare japanese version of a figure.

Trypticon could be War Within-ish and then be repainted/retooled into Gigatron ( I think ) from BW 2 or Neo for those wondering.

Yeah, I know, I'm dreaming since they said Voyager/Ultra or deluxe class sizes.

The only reason I didn't mention Metroplex or Trypticon is because they deserve the leader class treatment or even the supreme class treatment. But there are so many obscure g1, headmaster, victory, and masterforce figures that fit deluxe, voyager or ultra class size requerments that haven't seen reissue for reason or another that deserve the classics 2.0/universe treatment.

I understand, I just don't think it is apporpriate for japanese series yet, until we get a proper Ironhide, Ratchet, an updated Tracks, Trailbreaker, Hoist, Windcharger, Brawn, Springer, Arcee, etc, etc.

Thanks fof Gigastorm. I had forgotten, but I did know it was GIGA-something... :P [/i]

For Universe redecos, I would like to see limited release figures like Battle Unicorn make a come back simply because their run was so small and a lot of people missed them.

I would also like to see decos/re-releases of Japanese exclusives that aren't dinosaurs, like Longrack and Corhada.

Classics-wise, and I think there's another thread on this, I would like to see the rest of the main cast of Autobots from the first season(especially Brawn, Ironhide, Jazz), then some of the major characters from the second season(Blaster, Tracks, Warpath). After all those guys are out, then they can sprinkled in third season guys like Cyclonus, and Scourge.

I'm sorry, but I can't believe nobody else pointed that out, haha. First thing that I saw this morning and I had a good laugh, so thank you!!

Well, I'd definitely like more of the "classic" G1-ish characters, but sprinkled in there somewhere should be some obscure characters like Bludgeon and Apeface. Bludgeon, in particular, has definitely seen a revival, of sorts, in popularity it seems, so I'd say he's due. Not sure how they'd pull it off, exactly, though. Personally, a character that is pretty off the beaten path that I'd like to see is Punch/Counterpunch. Double/triple-agents are very interesting to me and, as a kid, I thought his toy was just so cool.

Well it all comes down to what people hope to see yet again. For me personal I think that yeah there is room for all four series in the new line and some of the more obsure figure form each of these lines will add something new and intersting to this line.
