A redesigned Punch/Counterpunch that fixes the much-joked-about "exposed from the back" issue by having Counterpunch be the one that doesn't use the car parts as his front, so he's visible in Punch mode (when he wouldn't be undercover) rather than having Punch being visible in Counterpunch mode, with the Punch bits being the ones that just look likeMaybe vehicle kibble when not in use. Maybe a few opening or rotating panels to put more orange on the Punch mode..

This. Also, any of the characters from the Cybertron scene in "Bumblebee" would be cool. Hell, even Cybertronian-vehicle Bumblebee would be cool. Studio Series did Grimlock and RoTF Megs, so it's not like they're obligated to make licensed alternate modes.

I'd like Siege Bumblebee to be a retool of Generations Cosmos. That way he could still have his cybertronian alt mode and be much slimmer. If he gets sold at a deluxe price point, I wouldn't mind, as long as they throw in some cool accessories. Maybe even a helicopter pack?

I'd mentioned better-scaled Pretender Monsters/Monstructor and a Goldbug remake...but I wonder if Minerva would be too obscure. They were on a serious Head/Titan Master kick for a bit so the Headmaster Juniors wouldn't be TOO far out of the question.

A retool of Generations Rhinox to give him hands that hold his guns better (preferably peg-hole fists) and feet that have heels (let's face it, he's pretty back-heavy). I was just playing with mine and it really struck me how those two flaws held back an otherwise-great toy.

Sharkticons 2.o? Or are they Crocksticons?

Anyway, not even 3P companies made them yet. I too, would really want one.

I did like the name Dreamwave gave them - Allicons. It's weird they made Gnaw for The '86 toyline and no one else from one of the most iconic locations of The Movie. Even though you see the Allicons before anyone else on Quintessa.

Well, there is that robo-squid...

Anyway, I am sure a 3P company made these guys. I think they were a three pack with slightly different colors and different heads. I would like to see Allicons get made. It's troop building after all, so Hasbro should find a right place to put them and voila, a new money making machine :APPLAUSE:

They could be a great scout to add to War for Cybertron part Two.

I really want, but will never get, the IDW design for Whirl from MTMTE/LL. That design and that character were so perfect, one of, if not my favorite, character from the entire IDW Edition 1 run.

Agreed, I'd love an accurate figure of IDW's Autobot Deadpool! ;)^

Ya know what's even funnier? A 3P company made an IDW Whirl, and it wasn't even this Whirl, it was an older version that showed up a handful of times, not his good modern body!

High five! I'm not the only one that thought he was a Deadpool! I always read his lines in a Ryan Reynolds voice too! :lol:

I would like an official IDW Whirl, but with IDW starting anew, the odds of that are slim.

There is that 3rd party version though, but it doesn't seem accurate to his Lost Light appearance? Like, I don't remember him having 6 fingers.

Anyway, closest thing to an IDW Whirl is Generations Whirl I suppose

Helicopter and Jet triplechanger à la Switchblade from M.A.S.K.

FOC did that in the game, with Vortex having his helicopter mode and a fast jet mode. He's probably my favorite Combaticon in the game.

Toy wise though, I don't think HasTak would do that. That's not two forms they would make for a triplechanger, where they usually make an air form, and either a land or sea form, not two air forms.

But I do think that would be cool

I remember Vortex doing that and thinking it was one of the coolest things ever. Actually, I'd settle for any M.A.S.K./Transformers cross over toy. Which begs the question, why has Hasbro done nothing with M.A.S.K.? They clearly have the rights to make toys since they released a Matt Trakker G.I. Joe a few years back, and he was in that one Comic con set, so why do nothing?

Considering we still haven't had a proper transforming G.I.Joe crossover yet (aside from some homages and non-Transforming SDCC stuff) I doubt we'll ever see a true MASK crossover. A standalone MASK toy line would depend on if they ever get that movie off the ground.

Now, I am pretty sure that there is probably exactly one M.A.S.K. transformer; Prime Optimus Prime's second body, from Beast Hunters.

Now, it may not be a M.A.S.K. reference per se, but the show said that his vehicle mode is from M.A.S.K., so take that what you will.

That's as far as I know, but I am sure others will point out other examples.

After seeing TFC's S.T. Commander, I really want a proper GI Joe transformer, and not some weird repaint of any kind
