I'd like a combiner wars leader Optimus in scale with Megatrn

>A Decepticon that turns into a combine harvester, complete with whirling thresher blades in robot mode made from the harvester drum.
>A Decepticon combiner team made of emergency vehicles, almost like an evil counterpart to the Protectobots. The torso could be a huge police command vehicle named Beatdown, with the limbs consisting of a police car named Barricade, a doctor's call car named Sawbones, a brushland fire truck named Smolder and an ambulance named Meatwagon. Together they would combine to form Oppressor.

The Generations Combiner Wars, and just the Generations lines have come out with stuff I didn't think Hasbro would do. The Scramble City combiners, those Beast Wars figures from last year's line. But there's always room to improve. In speculation, what would you like Hasbro to release in the near future, from any of its Transformers lines? Personally I want two things: A Deluxe or Voyager Hot Rod/Rodimus figure, and a CW Predaking. Oh, and a Voyager or Leader Sixshot.

You're forgetting a police helicopter named Tailwhip

Since mining is often shown as an important part of the pre-war history, I've always wanted a figure that turns into a continuous miner. Possibly a 4 or 5 bot team consisting of miner section vehicles.

How about these 3?

I just got an upsized Windrazor and I love it, man I wish they had done all the others, that Abominus would have been epic.

Those are cool. That last one reminds me of Cybertron Metroplex. I was thinking more along the lines of underground mining equipment. I ran said equipment for 5 years so it would be especially cool/nostalgic for me.

That's what he was based off of, and it makes me so giddy to this day that he is

Except this:


...have is way more like that:


...than the epic, epic real thing:


Appart his bot mode, Cybertron Metroplex fail hard. I really want a TF that could transform into it proper. And in scale with at least cyberverse legion figures. This would make it titant class or a wee bit bigger for sure! It could even be a Bay Moviverse Metroplex.

Let's not kid ourselves though, his robot mode kicks arse.

Just looking at the thing sends shivers down my spine.......brrrrrrrrrrrr SO BIG!

Except that I said based off of, I would never claim that he measures up to it - he is 'cybertronian' after all, but for diversity of vehicle mode and cool points, he is fine by me.


And besides, there's a secondary connector port on the first arm section that allows for a movable, longer, spinning bucket section

Put Slingshot's head on Air Raid's body and give the figure a gray deco. BAM! Generations Leader-1.

Will NEVER happen because of the legal quagmire around Gobots and who owns what.

Molds: Bandai
Toy Trademarks: Hasbro via Tonka
Character designs: Bandai (Machine Robo), Hanna-Barbera (Gobots)

Homages is the best Hasbro can do with them.

I would like some more nods back to non-G1 stuff. I really liked Beast Wars, but a Generations Rattrap is just weird being a car-sized rat. I actually would like smaller scale figures. Wouldn't it be easier just to repaint Energon Ravage as Cheetor/Tigatron and Cruellock as Dinobot? A new Depth Charge would also be nice. I think I'd like to see an update to the rid spy changers. Maybe make them scout sized or something, since I kinda miss the scout class. And then there's the Unicron Trilogy. I know plenty of Hot Shot figures were made like Universe and Prime, but I want to see one with the Energon and Cybertron helmet rather than the Armada-inspired helmet.

Oh, and size classes for the War for Cybertron-Fall of Cybertron characters. Like scout sized Scouts/Infiltrators, deluxe Leaders/Destroyers, and something in between deluxe and voyager for Soldiers/Titans.

But I guess it's alright if Hasbro keeps feeding the shelves with more simplified RiD 2015 stuff...

I'd like to see a Devastator where all the Constructicons are different colours. Scavenger would be primarily white with maroon detailing, Hook would be blue and white with red hazard striping, Bonecrusher would be red with a silver dozer blade, Long Haul would be dark green, Scrapper would be yellow with a little bit of dark purple, and Mixmaster would be dark grey with a silver drum. The chest wing and hands would be chromed silver. In addition, each member would have some drastic departure from their original bodies. Bonecrusher's treads would form his arms instead of his legs and give him ROTF Rampage style tread whips, Scrapper's bucket would split and form massive shoulder pads, Long Haul would use his dump bed as a pair of massive arm shields, Mixmaster would essentially transform like Cybertron Quickmix and have a big arm cannon made from his drum, Scavenger's excavator arm would replace one of his arms (ala Energon Steamhammer) and Hook would have his crane boom mounted on one of his shoulders.

I'd like to see the Hot Rod Patrol done as Deluxe-sized figures. They wouldn't need to be exact, licensed vehicles; look-alikes (a la RoTF Hubcap) would be good enough for me.

Some of the Japanese-only characters, like Star Saber, Road Caesar, or the Breastforce could be cool, too.

And a proper, Voyager-sized, Winnebago-shaped Rodimus Prime is overdue.

Hence why it belongs in this thread.
