Very good idea. I'd love to see those most of all.

HOUND!!! As far as a vehicle ... I want a jeep mold in there.

Soundwave, Galvatron, Cyclonus, Ravage, Rumble, and Shockwave

Add Sixshot, a proper Ultra Magnus, Springer, Blitzwing and Blaster to that list and you's got a deal.

Brawn Windcharger and Hound as they were my favourites from the G1 cartoon... also Swoop. Oh, and Carnivac as I really like d him in the UK G1 comics. While I doubt I'll be first, I'll be as closeas I can to the front of the queue for Prowl.

I know its been said, but my vote is for Kup.

Classics [Hot Rod] needs his partner.

Jet Judo Bots (Sideswipe & Sunstreaker ^^)
Wheeljack (base his alt mode on a Lancia Stratos car ^^)
such as the picture I have attached

Tue Oct 09, 2007 1:45 pm

Autobots
1.Wheeljack (Lancia Stratos)
2.Kup
3.Ironhide/Ratchet
4.Arcee
5.Blurr

Decepticons
1.Shockwave
2.Rest of the Seekers
(Screw Botcon,Hasbro should just slightly alter the paintjobs on Thundercracker & Thrust and make more G1 accurate wings for Dirge)
3.Insecticons
4.Blitzwing
5.Stunticons

Ain't gonna happen, but I'd love to see Nightbeat. Doesn't need to be a Headmaster, in fact I'd prefer that he wasn't.

Arcee? No thanks. Not unless it's a straight repaint of something else. I'd hate to think of Hasbro wasting time making Barbie-bot when they could be giving us Jazz or someone.

With the Seekers, I don't think doing them would have to ruin the exclusivity of the Botcon set. The Botcon seekers were done with accurate G1 paintjobs, whereas the three on general release had slightly more "inspired by" colour schemes. So give us Thundercracker, Thrust and Dirge with updated paintjobs and everyone's happy.

Ooh, and a cartoon-accurate coloured Astrotrain would be cool.

I would love to see some Insecticons

Especially if they were Scout Class, to keep the size difference right.

Tue Oct 09, 2007 3:03 pm

Overdrive

Shockwave would be awesom...I'd be all about Ironhide or Ratchet, but only if they have heads this time!

Tue Oct 09, 2007 5:28 pm

um, wheelie?

With a repaint as Whirl, to up the obscure character quota. :grin:

Count me in, the double Targetmasters were very cool. Hell, do all three of the 'Cons. That gives us repaints as Whirl, Warpath and one of the Arielbots out of Quake and Needlenose also.

I think that just about sums up the whole potato really. I'm cool with the Seeker idea, or if not that then just repaint them and release them as different names......

As for Arcee, why doesn't the parade of crappy toys bearing Arcee's name instill fear into people that if Hasbro did a G1 Arcee that it would be terrible junk? That Energon scout Arcee is probably the worst toy ever made and movie Arcee is stupider looking than Johnny 5. Plus, for the 10 people that really care that much about Arcee, I doubt they'd go to all the trouble to mass produce a toy. Doesn't it belie a reason that after all this time the only Arcees are cruddy or repaints like that Botcon Arcee? It's not like the manufacturing tech used on the Classics was just developed last year, they could have made an Arcee for the past 15 years, but they never did......

As far Slag, Snarl, Sludge and Swoop go. At least two of these figures are going to be produced for animated series there for we won't see them in the classics line. Although it would have been cool to have all five dinobots and all five predacons just to have them face off in some sort of battle setting.

Yes! They are my favorite! I'd buy them right away when they are in stores!!! :grin:

Blurr

Sixshot

Horrorcons

Throttlebots in scout class

Double Targetmasters

Doubledealer

Skullgrin

Cloudburst, even as a Jetfire repaint

Bludgeon

Any Actionmaster who wasn't a Classic like Treadshot (settle for a Megatron repaint for him or E Divebomb repaint for Banzai-tron)

Ditto. Not that it's going to happen, but I'd also like an Ultra Magnus that's not a repaint. And Jazz.

1 - Shockwave. No question.
2 - Ratchet & Ironhide. Where's the love? Do their G1 forms justice, it's long overdue.
3 - Runabout and Runamuck - When was the last time we saw these two anyway? Damn straight. Give 'em IDW-inspired looks!
4 - Unicron - The line was popular enough that we could see an Ultra-class....right?
