Call me odd if you will, but I would love to see an update of Robots in Disguise Jazz. The proportions in the show were fantastic, and so was the vehicle mode. Shame the toy sucked.

Oh yeah, him:

I still have mine, but I don't think he really need an "update" in Generations because he's way too similar to all the other Jazzes.

Still, I would like a "MP" version where the grotesque extra kibbles on the legs and elsewhere would be streamlined to cartoon accuracy. No hollows everywhere either. And the challenge: no overcomplicated transformation!

On the contrary, I think that RID Jazz has a very different design from G1. He's flatter and boxier, without the ridiculous hood chest of the SS86. But yeah, an MP Jazz would be sick.

I said it earlier but I wanted to clarify and see if anyone else feels the same way?

One last run of MP-10 as G2 Optimus Prime: black trailer, a pair of missile-firing cannons, and a soundbox/backpack/refrigeration unit that replicates the original sounds and has new effects and Peter Cullen voice clips. A boy can dream!

This one was on my wish list way back when we were getting actual figures from that game, until someone pointed out that Cloud Shockwave is a pretty good substitute.

Oh that's clever. Very clever. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! Another one to add to the wishlist. That said, it would be nice to have a licenced Apache altmode...

I would like an updated Protoform Starscream,without the gold plastic syndrome.

Edit:

Day 830 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

I think it just became a pipe dream, but I want a leader class Motormaster using the Earth Wars design that can combine with the CW limbs. That would be the Menasor/Motormaster I want

I just always liked Hook... I would love a version of him that nailed the character model bot mode, even if the crane mode was a bit sacrificed... At voyager class, as tall as NF Soundwave.

Ideally, I'd like all 6 Constructicons again... The CW versions had the head/face sculpts so well done...
But as figures, they all lacked for various reasons.

Although I'm bowing-out of collecting as soon as possible... A new, great set of this group could reel me back in for 1 (or 6) more purchase(s).

Legacy Deluxe G2 Ransack. Need me some World War Two planeformers!

Toyworld is making a whole line of WW1 "Studio Series" "Bayformers".
I'd like HASTAK to make something similar.

The early 20th century needs some love.

Isn't that what it does?

I want to wait and see how good it looks before, maybe, buying it. But it seems like the trailer skeleton attached with CW ports, so it just may be compatible.

As for TFs they'll never make, but I want:

Guiltar (Nemesis Prime is just too popular and fills the niche better)
Emirate Xaaron
Crossovers Galactus
G1 Unicron as a regular release
Movie Dispensor (that turns into a vending machine)
Autobot Spike
Titan Nemesis
Ariel (pre Elita-1)
Every other Quintesson version.
Crossovers Enterprise D (prove me wrong, Hasbro!)

Finally making him as a Titan under a new "lost gem" line along the "deluxe" never released G1 Arcee would be quite awesome.

That line could be for making a reality all those prototypes that were never made into production.

As we've discussed before, both G1 Arcee and Unicron could technically be released under the "reissues" line. Without the need to dedicate an all-new line to them.

I'd love one of their black Fokker Dr.I Starscream figures as a friend used to own and fly a gorgeous black Triplane replica!

I have that version in "Thundercracker" colors and it's fantastic. It'S also no harder to transform than a standard Studio Series! Sill, the thing was nearly 200$CAN. I want something similar and official that would cost 45$CAN instead as a solid voyager. Maybe 80$CAN is it's pushed to leader because of an added flight stand and the complexity of the bot.

Along the lines of the above Screamer, how about the original?

A Protoform itself? Make it transform into a Stasis Pod and there you go.

I've greatly enjoyed this design, I wish it had gotten a torso toy

News Credits: 100 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Fri Apr 22, 2022 9:36 am

I've been enjoying the SS Beeformers figures lately but one 5h8bg is clearly missing and even 3P never thought about it.

Bee Movie Optimus Prime. Same bot mode. But a completely different transformation to turn into a genuine CYBERTRONIAN vehicle.

On the subject of the newest SS'86 announcement...

Headmaster Arcee

Not that Titans Return ..thing. But one that still looks like this, with Daniel...

Ironically the Titans Returns version was based on the concept of headmaster Arcee that they were thinking of, back in the day. I thought it was a fun take on that legend.

Indeed. The Chromedome redeco that never was.

Other than Fort Max. I struggle to see a TR design that wasn't pretty hideous, in retrospect.

Octane was pretty good, the plane mode had a few minor flaws, but otherwise it was spot on.
