The Energon Pub

I'm sure they'll get around to Arcee eventually, just have to wait till maybe the fourth version of Prime gets released

I briefly mentioned some of these in the Siege thread, and apparently some of these wants are considered unlikely, so I figured I'd put my whole list here:

-New versions of Ramjet, Acid Storm, Sunstorm, and Hotlink (Cyberverse Acid Storm is NOT acceptable)
-A new actual retail Ironfist (I wouldn't be opposed to the CW Ironclad figure we almost got, but I'm not dead set on needing it)
-Updates to the Predators, especially Snare and Stalker because Wreckers (this may be a reoccurring theme)
-A figure of Carnivac's Beast Wars-like IDW design, for Wreckers reasons
-Updates to BW Inferno, Rampage, Terrorsaur, TM Megatron, TM2 Dinobot, Silverbolt, Depth Charge, maybe Quickstrike I guess, and the IDW Transmetal-esque Tarantulas design at retail (I know, I know, Warden hates Beast Wars)
-The Vehicon updates FunPub was planning (CW Thrust, TR Tankor, T30 Jetstorm)
-A new Obsidian with an actually accurate robot mode, please
-A figure of IDW Guzzle, either a Legends-class figure or his giant body from Sins as a Voyager
-A new Sideways
-Dare I say new characters?
-SEACONS PLEASE
-Just more updates to non-G1 characters/designs in general, like Energon Wing Saber and a new Demolishor at least
-A GPS-less Torca, because why not

...That ended up longer than I expected, huh.

Note: To be clear, just because I like the Vehicons does not by any means mean that I like Beast Machines.

An updated Armada Demolishor in the Generations line would be awesome. Even as a deluxe.

Make him compatible with the micromasters with a weapon defense platform and it would be perfect.

To any hasbro rep that sees this post@ you might need to give out free packets of tissues at your next reveal presentation, if you do take this idea and run with it

Along the lines of Armada Demolishor, an generations Armada Jetfire wouldnt go amiss hasbro, I'm sure you've got the engineering skills to pull it off and give him the best trousers mode for super prime as possible.

Jetfire would also be amazing.

That specific part I just bolded combined with the time between that post and now to think caused me to have a revelation though... *sprints back to the Siege thread*

I want to see Hasbro do a Titan Master armor relesase of the classic pretenders that Jazz Grimlock Bumblebee and Starscream got. The inner robot is colored after their character and they have their classic G1 face on their backs for titans return compatibility. But i do admit they look silly compared to the others

Here is my idea of a TF that will NEVER be made...

Super-mega-ultratron! Maybe a different name...

Consisting of 5 teams of 5 combiners each that are triple changers (robot, vehicle, base) and are headmasters whose transformed heads can populate the bases. Each gestalt can also triple change. Each gestalt can combine into a mega-titan that can transform into a superbase and vehicle.

Can anybody top that?

Nah, Rogue-Primal, they don't look silly next to the others - they still match the "knockoff He-Man toy" look of the prior Pretender shells. The deco artist for Jazz and the manager who approved it both need a kick in the pants though.

I too, would LOVE a set of Classic Pretenders Titan Masters. They would be a lot of fun when used with their Generations versions.

--------------

One licensed TF I really want but will never be made:
CHRISTINE




First, just having that nice 1958 Plymouth Fury as a transforming robot would be awesome. It would be deluxe sized and have a "titan master seats" like TLK Cogman. But she would not come with a titan master, but a little human figure representing Arnie.



That bot would be a "sexy" femme-fatale, YANDERE fem-Decepticon. Trying to make a "sexy" fembot out of such a square car without too much backpacks and kibbles would be quite the engineering feat though. A MP scale would be more feasible. Like what was done for UNIQUE TOY'S PERU-KILL.

A simple request: PotP Swoop as Fractyl.

A less simple, but still fairly reasonable request: For future combiners, deluxes whose primary position is as an arm should have Comber Wars style HFGs, which make better hands, while voyagers and deluxes whose primary position is as a leg continue to use the PotP combiner kibble, which produces better feet (particularly if you use the deluxe Prime Armor as the toes).

Personally, I would live to see CHUG versions of:
Bulkhead
Barricade
Lockdown

Factoring in licensing, Masterpiece Cliffjumper may be unlikely. I don't know that Volkswagen Group would sign off on the penny racer Porsche.

Heck - give me CHUG versions of the Rescue Bots.

We are getting a barricade... Its just a black redeco of Siege Prowl.

Unite Warriors Liokaiser with Leozack and Jallguar for the combined torso of the combiner.

If it looks enough like a Volkswagen that they'd need to, it certainly wouldn't look enough like a Porsche to promote their products rather than VW's. And if it's instead treated as a super deformed Porsche like the original mold was meant to be, why would it need Volkswagen's approval? Hell, it's ultimately different enough from either that it could probably be released without licensing altogether and not risk legal action.

Yes please! And a Mor-bot too, maybe?

Porsche AG may be owned by Volkswagen AG (ironically, Porsche Automobil Holding SE is major stockholder), but it's still an independent company, retaining the ability to make its own decisions. Volkswagen may have granted the license, but it can't order Porsche to follow suit.

Masterpiece is all about licensing for cars and other real life vehicles, and remember: if Cliffjumper gets licensing (at the very least to use the logo), Jazz isn't far behind as they share car manufacturer. Porsche is a necessary obstacle, sadly.

My bad, I thought they could just do this one "generic" like they did for Optimus, Rodimus, etc.

The problem here is that most of the makes of the original Diaclones and Microchange cars are called out on their packaging, or have been positively identified in the case of Inferno. That would make any one of us go "proper make or bust". Optimus Prime did slip through, and we could expect the same for Huffer, Gears and maybe Brawn.

Well, Brawn was a mashup - a chibified Toyota Land Cruiser blended with a Jeep.

Optimus (at least on MP-10) has high Freightliner fidelity for the cab aside from the lower legs, for whatever that's worth.

Kinda random but the combiner was featured in the Unicron comics: Larger-sized Pretender Monsters for a better-scaled Monstructor.

This is my dream as well...

1/6 to 2/6 may come true
