Because seriously, she deserve better than the ultra expensive, ultra rare, but ultra ackward looking G1 original.

That's the thing too; Goshooter and Minerva would be extremely easy repaints/new heads - and then for Hosehead, again, Heatwave. So if they wanted to do these guys it'd be very profitable.

I s'pose since they're now reusing Chromedome's mold for Getaway....they could always reuse it again for Minerva



granted it's not a porsche.....but still!

Come on man, I know a picture is worth 1000 words, but adding a few words to explain the what and the why do help a great deal.

Yeah but I wanna know WHAT it is and WHERE does it come from? Because that's one odd UFO worth checking out.

It's an unreleased prototype G1 Triple Changer; was found in the Japanese Transformers Generations comic. Dreamwave Armada and Shattered Glass both used him as a hi-and-die called 'Dropshot'.

I want a good official Alpha Trion that isn't that lion. I feel alone on thinking he looks terrible.

You're not alone. He DOES look terrible.... In an awesome kind of way!

Transformers Q Metroplex, Trypticon, Fort Max, Scorponok and Omega Supreme

An update to Torca. And have it be leader class or at least voyager because he is tiny. Yes he's is deluxe but in all forms of art depict him as huge.

Now that we have a deluxe Straxus/Darkmount and a legends Scrounge; I'd love to see an affordable in-scale Blaster.

Voyager Blaster isn't really in scale with deluxe Straxus/Darkmount. I'd take a voyager Straxus as well to work with FoC Blaster in a heartbeat, though.

Customizing a WFC Deluxe Soundwave should be easy enough, right?

Likely that or RTS Perceptor. I think I have a spare of each. Sadly, not very affordable if I didn't have the figures - I think each figure is over $30 before customization costs. Something to consider though.

Turning RTS deluxe Perceptor into blaster is a BRILLIANT idea!

BTW, I'd like to have a special collector line with Platinum exclusivity (but unfortunately the prices that go with it) of ALL the unreleased G1 toys. The ones that stopped at the prototype stage or even the complete drawing board. I really want to own and play with:

Unicron:


Arcee:


The Llama Jet above, and so many others that I may not know.

On a similar note, I think it'd be kinda cool to see some of the unused diaclone/microman stuff redecoed into new Transformers.

Now that there's a Scrounge figure (in the most infuriatingly unavailable sort of way... Seriously, release it solo and not as part of an expensive set that will never see the light of store shelves and only be online) I don't know if there's ANYTHING they will NEVER make. But I don't expect they'll make a Kranix or Arblus any time soon, but I'd kinda be interested if they did. Granted, they're neither bots nor cons, and they rarely make figures that are neither, but I think it'd be neat, especially with all the movie era figures lately.

You aren't alone, bud. That thing is awful. The ship mode is maybe sort of okay, but robot and lion mode (why the scrap is A3 a lion anyway) are bad. Even the face looks awful, more like some Japanese demon than the autobot elder.

I think Kranix has only seen a minicon release with Unicron, but I'd love actual spaceship figures of him and arblus. If I remember their character art correctly, one would just be a retool of another.

Heck with that, I want the unreleased Animated figures. The Hero prototypes look pretty cool too, especially the alternate take on Safeguard.

Are you meaning TF Animated? or just animated in general?

coz the only unreleased TF Animated fig that i can think of.....would be Omega Supreme! in fact....i don't think a toy was ever created....even at prototype stage

Yes, I meant TF Animated, and prototypes were created for Hot Shot and for what would have been Megatron's season four look, both of which were shown in the Allspark Almanac, as were figures and drawings from an earlier concept called "Transformers: Hero" that eventually became TFA.

Yeah, they'd certainly be able to be retools or even recolors. And I certainly don't count the Dead End minicon redeco as movie Kranix (though honestly I didn't even know that existed until earlier today)
