Maybe their policy had changed for a while ago, what I hope, but if not, I think we never get a MP Jazz/Meister based on the G1 mold anymore...

Ooooooohhhh yeeaahhhh....... I kinda forgot about that. Same **** with G1 Bumblebee.

Well, they could still pull it off. Making a "not Porche" and a "not Beetle" by just changing a few key lines.

Or something.

MP scale Pretenders of fictional, popular or historical figures:
Arnold Schwarzenegger into a Humvee
Neil Armstrong into Lunar Rover/Shuttle

Oh lawl! That would be hillarious!

MP Skyfire/Jetfire - I wish HasTak would make this, but I don't see it happening, though with the new scaled approach to the MP line he'd only be what, around the size of MP-01?
Neo-G1 Arcee - Pretty sure an MP would be physically impossible, and unfortunately it doesn't seem that a neo-G1 style figure is likely either.
Neo-G1 triple-changing Springer - I know there are rumors about a new FOC styled voyager Springer, but based on the track record of his figures I doubt it will be a triple-changer. HasTak seems to have abandoned that part of Spinger's character.
MP Galvatron - I know there are a lot of people that want this guy, but it doesn't seem terribly likely. The 'new' line of MPs seems to be focusing entirely on pre-movie G1 characters (or else I think we would have gotten at least MP Galvy by now, since MP Rodimus is oft stated to be a part of the 'new' scale).
MP fully armored Ultra Magnus - See above, also honestly it would be a pretty complex/expensive build. Magnus does seem to be getting some love from HasTak of late, though, so who knows.
The rest of the FOC Dinobots. - Grimlock always gets all the love, also there's that issue of what happened to Sludge.
MP Jazz and Bumblebee - Jazz is one of my favorite TFs ever, and a proper MP G1 VW Beetle Bumblebee would be a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, last I heard, there was still the issue with VW and Porshe licensing the alt-modes. Though HasTak did manage to get the Lambo license for Sideswipe and crew (though I do wonder if some issue therein is why there has been no mention of a US/Hasbro release of that mold).
New Scale MP Megatron? - Honestly I'd prefer Galvatron, though I would like a Megatron to stand opposite my MP-10 Prime. The problem obviously being the alt mode. I really wish there was a way to get a great G1-looking Megatron figure that believably turns into something else.

I'm in the mood for some G1 voice actors heads molded on their respective characters, just one per voice actor though, otherwise Mr. Welker would be everywhere. But Optimus with a moustache would be beyond awesome

I'd like three scout-sized Firecons. Remolds are OK.

Pretty please, Hasbro? You can do it. You know you can.

I know I already said Classics Star Saber and Victory Leo, but looking at my Deluxe Leader shelf, a couple of others spring to mind:

- Deluxe Armada Megatron
- Deluxe Energon Megatron
- Deluxe Cybertron Megatron
- Deluxe Cybertron Optimus Prime

All downsized from their larger toys. Well, I guess that's what Knock-offs are for.

Seriously, though, I think we'll never see a Classics Blitzwing.

Yeah, but to be fair a Classics Blitzwing would be INSANELY difficult to make. You have to transform something from a chunky, blocky, heavy duty vehicle into a slightly bigger, aerodynamic vehicle and also into a robot. Until actual transformation cog technology is invented, a Classics Blitzwing would probably come out with either:

A: A blocky mess of a jet mode with protruding treads and cannon,

B: A hollow, weird looking tank full of holes with thrusters on the back and no turning turret,

or C: A weird, malformed, hideous homonculus of a robot mode.

Or a combination of all 3. After all, look at G1 Blitzwing (complete brick of a robot mode) and Animated Blitzwing (great robot mode, stupid tank mode and atrocious jet mode). A Cybetronian Blitzwing might work...

One I hope they never make is a classics Broadside. A triple changer should never have an alt mode that can carry hundreds of his other alt mode. I mean, I know scale was never Hasbro's strong point, but come on.

And no, Warbot Assaulter does not count as he turns into a sort of space gunship thing and a futuristic naval destroyer, and he isn't really a Transformer.

Not that G1 Broadside had a particularly convincing jet mode, but...

I too, would love that. Beside, if you remove the gimmicks, they can have the exact same transformation scheme. They were all so simple to begin with.

At this point, I'd be willing a sacrifice a mode for a decent Blitzwing. If he just had a good robot mode and good alt mode it could be the plane or the tank. Just so I can have some version of him in my lineup.

I always thought the Cybertron Voyager Starscream mold would've worked as a redeco.

If you have never seen it, check-out my very own custom APETIMUS SUPREME. At first, it was supposed to be a Cybertronian Blitzwing, but it became it's own character.

That's kinda close enough, right?

Wait! This just hit me.

They need to do a Rumble/Frenzy data disc remold as Scrounge for Blaster. It's perfect.

One thing is for sure, that's one remold Hasbro will NEVER make. ;_;

True, but there's nothing now really preventing him from being improved severely in quality without affecting the transformation. Additional articulation would be easy, as would feet which transformed out of the lower leg. The arm modules would need some reworking in the placement of the transformation joints, but it wouldn't be impossible to get much the same look but with the kibble surrounding the arm moved backwards enough to give the arms a nearly complete range of motion. Even the tank turret could transform into something bland and blocky enough to pass as jet undercarriage. The main problem is that the jet mode is very chunky - the tank mode is passable and the robot mode could be spiffed up.

As for a Masterpiece-level Blitzwing, start with the Masterpiece seekers (probably the most recent) for streamlined jet forms. Fold up the wings and ailerons and fold in the nosecone and it becomes a lot blockier. Pull the arms out to the outside of the form and put tank treads on them. Compress the torso. Extend the legs, point them toe-to-toe, then double-fold them back around to the outsides to form more treads. Put in a rotating cockpit. The shoulder vents could probably fold up and cover the head as they're not really needed for the robot mode. Combine all the weaponry into a SAM array and mount it on the nosecone, transformed to stick out of the abdomen. (The nosecone could even transform some into a weapon mount - it wouldn't need the internal radar array). Lie the figure down on its back. It's not a pure tank, but it's a tracked weapon system

Someone made that custom using a MP Seeker mold:



It sold for around 1000$ on Ebay.

How bout I throw one out there....I think we will never see a full Classics Dinobot lineup.

I find the jet mode in that the most interesting. It breaks away from the rectilinear Foxbat mode into something more like Titanium Jetfire, nearly a flying "T" shape. If only the tank had been messed with a bit more to break it out of adhering to the original mold. An H-tank, or something Cybertronian, or even a spider-tank.

One of my long time wish have just been granted.

Lol, Coke or Pepsi, I'm swigning back and forth, whichever is the cheapest or the closest!

I will never risk ruining this unique peice by customising it. However, it does have some optional bits that come out from under it's feets that serve no purpose in robot mode and it just add kibble in vehicle mode. Something could attach there! So, I might just make a custom ACCESSORY. Meaning, a plow that convert into a shield!

You bet your ass I will.
Like the rest of the tractor, it will be RED, with bits of black and gray.
I will go, and hunt for the needed parts soon!

I'M FIRED UP!
