I'd love titan class versions of the Axalon and the Darksyde.

If they do this they must give them both beast modes, either as their primary bot mode or as a third alt mode. Maybe the Axalon can turn into a lion with the fins forming the mane while the Darksyde would obviously be some sort of bug.

Given the tendency of the Ark and the (rumored) Nemesis having faces based on their faction's insignias, I'd suggest a wolf or similar canid for Axalon and a fly or mosquito for Darksyde .

Another iconic ship I'd like to see getting the Titan treatment would be the Quintesson Cruiser. Probably having a robot mode based on It (since, y'know, similarities to the species insignia) or Alpha Quintesson.

On another note, how long until we get a Modulator Studio Series Bumblebee for that one scene from TLK? Come to think of it, it'd be a good way to represent the KSI Transformers too.

Still waiting for that Titan Class SS Driller from DOTM.

Maybe a HASLAB that would come with a leader SS Dotm Shockwave reissue?

Pretty sure a Core Shockwave would be more "scale accurate". Maybe just Micromaster, even.

A titan DOTM Driller would indeed come with a Core Class DOTM Shockwave. Despite the lack of scale with the rest of the SS line, I'd be down for it.

Please yes!

Also, titan Driller is high on my list too

If there's any chance for the Beast Wars getting more love to that extent we might have to wait until 2026 when it's the 30th anniversary. Or if the movie beasts are not a total failure, maybe sooner.

If we did get the driller as a titan figure, how would it be functional? I mean, it's not like it transformed in the movie. It's only functionality would be a cockpit towards the front where Shockwave sits.

Well, it's functionality would be as a huge kick-ass action figure with countless segments that would articulate like a slithering snake. Not counting the maw and all the pointy bits. The parts count of this thing would be insane. And if the thing must absolutely transform, I'm sure they could pull off a "cybertronian spaceship" out of it.

So would the price. It would have to be fairly simple to fit the $200 titan price point.

It better it's a Transformer. And I was also thinking Shockwave's spaceship.

You know, with Armada figures coming in Legacy, and the non-transforming R.E.D. figures, I know it won't happen, but I would 1000% buy up Decepticlone figures! I was just thinking about the 2004 PS2 Transformers Armada game and would absolutely love a set of Decepticlone toys. They could even do like a BAF thing with the Heavy Unit and Spider Tank Decepticlones!

I played that game just recently. I would also be down for some Decepticlone troop building. Red, yellow, flyer, spider and heavy units. Even those pink guys that can roll and have unlimited firepower. But those could actually transform.

I'm sure the current team will keep BW figures going through at least 2026, they might even keep doing reissues that long if Walmart wants them. Transmetal feels like the natural next step since they have a lot in common with the ROTB designs, not to mention they're the last two BW figures of Primal and Megatron that we need remade. Honestly though, I wouldn't mind a Commander Class Optimal Optimus with all of his modes intact. Bonus points if they include a BM Megatron head.

After handling and loving Leader Legacy Dragon Megatron, I'd love it if Walmart would reissue the OG toy in "toon colors" like they did with Primal and T-Rex Megs.

I just want Silas Breakdown in some form.

Given they sometimes use concept art for some of the figures (though mostly for the unrevealed robot modes), it could also do a sub based on this:


Speaking of concept art-based Studio Series, I wish they'd make a version of Canopy with one of his intended alt-modes. Either a subway cart or a Optimus-based truck.

We technically do; just not in America EDIT: the West. (why did I write this, I don't even live in America! )

Another "Cybertronized" character I'd like to see is T-AI. RID2001 was the second Transformers show I'd ever seen, and it saddens me that one of its central characters is now reduced to fanservice gags by Takara. Also, we technically have a version of her that's a proper Transformer, so...

I need to look into his prices again - maybe he's cheaper than when I last looked a few years ago?

I do hope we see Canopy in some regard. I want more movie bots dammit!

I had an idea of how Hasbro could finally get Multiforce/Landcross into Generations and the answer is here:



That's right, the answer to getting Multiforce into Generations is combining it with Energon for a full on line wide double combiner line (similar to what we previously saw in the likes of Combiner Wars and Titans Return).

The idea is that some figures would either be based on the Multiforce characters and repurposed into an Energon character while others would be based on Energon figures and then repurposed as a Multiforce character. This would include Decepticons being able to "Powerlinx", too, and with enough repaints (everyone loves endless combiner repaints!) between mainline, Selects, and store exclusives we could possibly get Landcross and Energon Autobot and Decepticon combiners. Here's what I'm thinking:

Multiforce and possible retools-

Wing -> Starscream
Waver -> Decepticon Mirage
Dash -> Hot Shot
Tracker -> Snowcat
Mach -> Jetfire
Tackle -> Ironhide

And the final six-

Inferno -> Demolisher (dumptruck)
Prowl -> Cliffjumper
Sharkticon -> Sluggslinger

Don't ask me how they would combine, I'm no engineer. Some of these could probably be unique molds, the real focus is on those first six. But that's nine base molds for 18 figures and three combiners. It would take care of all the figures for a three wave line and then some. Scale be damned!

Oh, and paired names:
Hot Shot + Inferno = Hotferno
Jetfire + Ironhide = Firehide
Prowl + Cliffjumper = Prowljumper (??)

Starscream + Mirage = Starrage
Demolisher + Snowcat = Democat
Sharkticon + Slugslinger = Sharkslinger (!)

I remember a while ago, someone mentioned more Plant Bots, akin to Botanica. I saw this and thought it apt enough to put it here...

That's cool!

One thing that would be really and complex and cool,would be Hasbro licesing fan-made designs to be used in toys.

This was one of the first things to come to mind after seeing these designs,look at these Omega Supremes!

That is crazy, my wife purchased that exact Lego set for herself when we were on vacation a couple months ago.... I wonder if she will let me experiment.

Just last night I watched a video of the above and thought "it would be cool to see this idea make a comeback". I'd aged out when Energon was screening so never experienced them.
