I wouldn't mind if some of the cooler Action Master *characters* got transforming figures for the first time, like Rad and Slicer.
Or, it would be cool if some Micromaster characters got bigger, articulated figures for the first time. I love the Autobot Battle Patrol (military vehicles), so I would love to see them as voyager-sized figures.
However, I doubt we will see any of these things.
I think Hasbro will be mainly focusing on characters originally released in 1984 & 1985, as well as a few movie/post-movie characters.
But while I wouldn't mind some G1 characters that had originally had crappy or gimmicky figures getting a modern release with a decent figure for the first time, conversely, I would NOT like to see crappy or gimmicky figures from G2 get better figures. G1 covers 8 years and, probably, what, 500 characters? So between G1 and Beast Wars (and "neo" G1, like War Within), there really are enough characters to keep Hasbro busy for, like, a *decade* into the future, without needing to use any other lines.
Oh, another thing I don't want is Energon/Universe Downshift repainted into Wheeljack. The figure is already good enough to serve as a Wheeljack, BUT its not as good a figure as the figures in the Classics line, so I would SO LOVE IT if Wheeljack got the official Classics treatment.
They could repaint him into Slicer, like I mentioned earlier.
What I'm REALLY hoping for are finally getting appropriately sized figures of G1 mini-bots, like Bumblebee and Cliffjumper were released as deluxe-sized figures, so they fit in better with the rest of the Autobot Cars, like Mirage.
I would love for Brawn, Gears, Windcharger, and Beachcomber to be released as cool deluxe-sized figures, too, and Huffer, Cosmos, Powerglide, Seaspray, and Warpath to get cool voyager-sized figures. Like we saw with prototype Cosmos, they really can be awesome if the designers finally stop thinking of them as minibots and give them figures that are sized appropriately based on their alt forms.
Oh, and I vote for a good, new version of the Stunticons, too. I would love it if the 4 cars were deluxe-sized, so they fit in with the other deluxe-sized cars in the Classics line, and "Motormaster" was at least voyager-sized, so he could stand toe-to-toe with Classics Prime.
Yeah, I know, this has turned into more of a "What I want in Classics/Universe" wishful-thinking post than a "What I DON'T want in Classics/Universe," but I couldn't help myself.
