I don't like it because half of the super mode components are just loose parts. I know I can't ask much for this scale but still.

Any update to the deluxe Insecticons would be nice.

We got some solid entries with the latest scouts. But having some deluxe sized? Maybe with the Siege aesthetics. Yeah, I'd be down for that.

I think 'small deluxe' like Siege Flywheel would be perfect for WFC trilogy-styled Insecticons. Now I'm not 100% sure where to compensate for their downscale. Maybe two-packs of Insections?

Make em Siege Reflector Refraktor size, but with the engineering level of Siege Voyager Prime. Throw in a couple of cool accessories and Boom!

Another idea which came to mind: if getting a BW character in modern toy form is already hard as it is, imagine how unlikely we are to get BW II's Galvatron remade. Which is a shame because I'm such a sucker for lead villains and cybernetic beast modes.

BW II Galvatron had a cool design, and I would love to see a new one with Siege aesthetics.

Hell to the yes. Not watched BWII yet but he looks awesome, especially with the goddamn drill-cannon mode.

Magmatron would be another. I remember there was some concept art for his Cybertronian alt-modes in the Gathering/Ascending.

Cybertronian Magmatron.

SO MUCH WANT! =P~

Being a fan of the mold,

Cybertronian Spittor was higher on my list...

by **Skritz** » Sun May 26, 2019 5:26 pm

As much as I like what Siege is doing I definitely would have loved some funkier Cybertronian altmodes. Magmatron could definitely exist as a MASSIVE retool of TR Sky Shadow/Overlord/Dai Atlas, just with the upper torso made of two components and not one.

New City Bots

Traditionally Metroplex, Trypticon et al were referred to as a City that transforms. Although clearly not a human city, so what they look like and their dimensions, should be open to interpretation. The idea of the bots representing an entire city has gradually been scaled back over the years, to roughly the appearance of a building complex or along the same lines as an aircraft carrier.

So it's in this thread, because I doubt we will ever see New City Bots. But I'd love them to run with idea. Make Iacon, Tarn, Kalis etc all the named cities, into unique city bots. Give them little connectors that actually form a combined Cybertronian landscape. Literal World building.

Iacon

Tarn

A Micromaster sized movie Wheelie and Brains in Studio Series, that is a pair that needs appropriate sized toys

This would be a great addition to the Studio series.
Also, baby dinobots. Sure, there's the ones that come with that special Drift, but babies that are more articulated and such.

Not just re-releases of these I may add?

Legends Class Autobot Wheelie (current Legion-size)

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Wheelie Gallery

Mini-Con Class Dualor, Triceradon, Rav and Catilla

Transformers Dark of the Moon Dualor Gallery
Gotta have those dinos...

I'd be fine with slight retools of the Minicon dinos to have movie accurate heads, but Wheelie is pretty out of scale so I'd agree that Micromaster scale would be better. I'd pair him with Scalpel though since Brains doesn't really need to transform and it would be hard to pull off properly at the size, I'd rather he was just a little PVC figure like Igor.

I think we really need a new Wheelie mold.

Although I will give you Brains since a computer might not work on the micromaster scale for him, but it still might.

Another day, another piece lost to concept art oblivion:

Cybertronian Retrax/Powerhug, courtesy of Beast Wars Neo (this one might have actually been a decent figure?)

Considering it's a retool of the base Retrax mold with hugging action, not that likely.

True. You never know, though. Removing the spring would be all they would need to do, to get a good figure out of him.

I have the original Retrax and I love how silly that thing is.

by **ZeldaTheSwordsman** » Sun Jun 09, 2019 3:55 pm

To be honest I think Powerhug makes the mold good anyway via his color scheme, because it renders his pillbug mode adorable.

...I may be somewhat biased because of the Insecticomics
