Also, in the category of 'will never make' I'd say a Clench (aka Colossus) remake. Don't know why I like Clench but I've always been a sucker for late G1 and G2 designs. Again, repeating myself but these things are right up my alley given that these (and or rather knockoffs of) were the only vehicle Transformers of my childhood.

Funnily I did a digibash of a G2 Prime repaint, he looks dynamite in the deco.

You make me want to paint Titans Return Octane into Clench.

I don't know that there is much of a purpose to a dedicated line of repaints like that anymore, but it would allow them to reuse tooling and it could offer some options for new ideas or esoteric homages rather than slavish dedication to making G1 replicas seen in the CHUG lines.

Likely they'll be giving a lot of familiar characters new Cybertronian alt modes using some molds that could pass as Cybertronian. They also said there would be no play theme in WfC and we can expect previous things like Headmasters and Combiners mixed into waves. I wouldn't be shocked to see some Technobots repainted. Maybe they'll give us a proper Jhiaxus deco of the Thrilling 30 mold, or better yet, a new Jhiaxus figure.

Oh right, I guess they're just updated Insecticons in a way.

But as usual, there's that licensing issue.
You know what would be REALLY impossible?
MACROSS Xover Transformers, Jetfire being the leader of the line.

That would be sweet as hell. Though with Harmony Gold losing the Macross license at long last (or so I hear) it's a bit less impossible now.
