Ahhh. I follow him! I must have missed seeing this one. Didn't even notice the signature lol.

Might as well plop "anything Animated in the Animated style" in this thread. I still long for a proper Animated Omega supreme done in the titan scale in Animated style

So, Ravage was rebuilt at the end of Great War. What about the rest of the Cassettes? This, couple with recent Legacy announcements, gave me the idea for such a line/wave.



Levelling up all of these bots. Via redecos of other figures or original molds. I've previously mentioned some, such as Overkill. But I'd be interested to see more. What larger form could you adopt for Rumble, Frenzy et al Keeping visual cues ala Beast Wars Ravage's colour scheme and face. But making them their own thing.

Absolutely... Sigh

MPM RotF Megatron.

When?

The fact that MPM '07 Megatron sold poorly and is still available at some stores didn't help his case.

Furthermore, not even 3P did it so far! The only available ones are upscale KOs of the SS verion or the previous leader. No proper original molds.

I'm a big fan of Classics Overkill since that mold never really worked all that well as Grimlock for me.

After Brawl and Bonecrusher I would guess. Just imagine what MPM Jetfire and the Fallen are going to cost. (Would they do MPM Devastator? )

Would it be a set or single releases of the Constructicons? Or both like SS?

I would have to guess individuals spread out over 4-5 years, or shorter if they went the MPG route in time scale.

I would LOVE this.

There's already a 3P offering, but it's a b!tch to transform with fragile parts all over.
So I'm pretty sure the official HASTAK will do better.

Some Animated homages on Gnerations mode would be a very cool way to reference the series

If what the design team said is true then the actual Animated characters in Legacy should be true to the original designs just in a G1 style, moreso than what we've gotten the from Prime characters.

For example, that Starscream above would work with just minimal retooling. Like a new head and new inverted wings.

Just the idea of this hurts. That is NOT how you make animated/Animated inspired figures

Well, that's how they made the Legacy Prime characters. ¯\_(¬◞ ¬)_/¯

And everyone on this site is probably well aware of what I think of that

Which is why I'm skipping the Legacy Prime characters. I'd prefer if they released Prime and Animated Characters, they would be in their original style, just with updated transformations, scale, and articulation

I guess we think the same on that one.
As for the animated thing, I'm not wishing for this to happen, but I see it coming from a mile away.

They specifically said they wouldn't based on the negative reactions to the Prime figures, we'll see how well they stick to their words.

I think even mentioned this before. But I did naturally assume a Legacy line would utilise all the different shapes and sizes representative of the entire franchise. Not every aesthetic is comparative to the "big and boxy" of G1.

This is what I had hoped for, but we haven't quite gotten yet, so maybe proper "Animated" or "Prime" figures would fall under this thread's category

Well, I'd be fine with just re-releases like Pulse already did. Many Prime and Animated toys were just perfect. For those who were imperfect or never made, new molds would be in order.

A Real HasLab

It may seem strange for me, one that hasn't said a single positive about HasLab, to mention a purpose for them. Hence why it is in this thread.

I've made ..a few OC's, over the years. Drawings and text only go so far. What I'm asking for isn't the platform to open up for custom OC's to be made by HasTak. More so access to a design software. Templates giving you the means to make/view 3D Digibash/Models of your characters.

While I will never see my OC's as physical figures in my hand. Just to see them realised beyond pencils, would be enough for me.

You mean, a "create a TF" thing? Hell, why not a "Hasbro Idea" like Lego Idea? Fully design a TF, submit it to the site, and the ones that get the most votes are not only produced but also inserted into the TF canon!

I'm sure "Hasbro Idea" would be much, much harder to realise than Lego Idea was so that why it very much belong to this thread.

I have an OC in mind and to make her, I plan to use Lego Technic. It will take a very long time to do. I hope I'll succeed.

Exactly that.

I plotted out a couple of my OC's with, what I'd consider, the right amount of logistical detail for a Transformer. No "impossible" designs. One of my oldest designs, Terrorcon: a massive "Leader Class" Fuzor (a Vok combination of the BW figures of TM Terrorsaur and Scorponok). Can't be realised with any other medium really.

Good luck with the Lego Technic design though!

Thanks! I don't have much Technic experience so it will be hard....

Different chest and head and that's basically Topspin.

I was at a vintage toy shop yesterday and saw one of the Amazing Spider Man Jump Starters. I had no idea these existed! I totally missed out, otherwise I would have bought the whole line of these a decade ago!
