This is the first time I've ever visited this thread. So I was just on eBay when I came across this posted item so I got to thinkin'. It would be epic if The Powers decided to release these in an up to date genereations like for these figs. C'mon HasTak what say you?

Looking at future lines/exclusives, TBH this isn't out of the question, they got legends figures of each of these molds. I mean, a future Amazon/BBTS exclusive set is within the realm of possibility. Just a lot of legends figures with 2 deluxes to represent a fan favorite Autobot and Decepticon, an "Incursion from Gobotron" giftset, if you will.

Speaking of which, I'd really love to have an all yellow G1 Cosmos to go with my G1 Computron. You know, so it can feel "complete" like the CW version.

Will HasTak make Masterpiece Pretenders?

Like perfectly detailed and articulated action figures shells. Both the shell AND the inner bots would be on scale with the rest of the MP line. I dunno how they would pull it of, but I wouldn't mind a bit of partsforming if need be.

They should, at the very least, make Metalhawk at some point in the future.

I know they are mostly know from the Marvel comics, but Bludgeon and Thunderwing are a must. Plus the evil trio of Bomb-Burst, Submarauder, and Skullgrin.

A Titan class Underbase Starscream from the Marvel comics.

TR compatible "Duocon" Leader class Blue Bacchus. I don't care if it's G1 accurate or not (I'd prefer not as his old toy was a mess), Black Shadow needs his partner in crime!

I was actually looking this guy up the other day. Weird that there was so much renewed interest in Black Shadow but none in his partner

What may have a minor hand in it is the name "Bacchus", from the Roman god of wine, among other things. His Greek counterpart is Dionysus.

I dunno, they changed Sky Shadow's name after all. So a slight alteration again would seem an easy solution?

Exactly. "Blue Baron" would do.

That sounds good!

You know, there isn't that many Decepticon helicopters so this guy deserves an update beyond this...

I think T30 Springer with a new head could have done a pretty solid update to Blue Bacchus, re-imagining him as a triple-changer.

But our boy needs to be on scale with one of Black Shadow's molds.

Mmmmhhh true. So either Deluxe or Leader.

RoTF leader Jetfire with a G1 deco. The Blackbird probably wouldn't look really good in red and white, but I would get one just for the novelty.

It would sure be a something-or-other expensive limited exclusive. But I'd certainly pay money for that.

Masterpiece Skyquake. He'd probably need to be at BW Megs' pricepoint.

Studio Series Breakaway. He was the highlight of the ROTF line for me and was in the game so surely he counts as much as Thundercracker!

He was a Spitfire - rather, Jetfire's robot mode with Spitfire wings as shoulder pads. I totally agree that ROTF Ransack shows they could do a single-seat prop fighter. Speaking of which, a Generations Ransack (Rotor Force with the Corsair altmode) would be cool...

I want to see a Masterpiece Rotorstorm. He was one of the five TFs I had as a kid (I have a nice-ish one with box today but the original, like my Skyquake, was long ago handed on to a younger kid) and his profile's been raised thanks to Last Stand of the Wreckers. Go for it, HasTak! You know he'd that good!

I know it will never happen because he wasn't in any movies. But I'd really, really want an updated and upscaled HFTD Terradive as a voyager with better paint for the Studio Series. Like they did for DOTM deluxe Starscream. Just imagine if they did it again!

Huh, so he is. He was labelled a Hurricane on TFWiki when I made that post, further proof TFWiki is a joke I guess. And yeah, a Rotor Force Ransack would be neat.

TFWiki.net has the correct mode: Lieutenant. It's the Wikia one that's a bit... eh.

Oh yeah they corrected it now, but back when I made the post he was just labelled as "Hawker Hurricane Autobot".

Most of what they do is simple guesswork, like any user-edited wiki. Especially when details are vague and they don't have the proper exact knowledge at the time.

Anywho, who's up for a version of the lost Dino Scramble City team?

Remember this cutie fro the Allspark Almanac?


Hows about giving her a body?
