No clue if this has been discussed in another thread already, but here it is; suggest and support ideas, whether general or specific (general helps since more people will support it and hopefully aid its creation).

1. A Weapon pack that is especially designed to make use of the clip system.

2. Cybertronian-styled set pieces, ranging from fallen debris to dragon's teeth.

I had another, but it escapes me at the moment...

Generalized weapons packs would rock! They could do a couple sets of pistols, rifles and swords and not bother with unnecessary boxes and crates (I'm lookin' at you, iGear) and they'd make a killing! 10 weapons for $10-$15 would go over like gangbusters!

Exactly. I keep lookin at the newer figures and miss having guns to occupy the available clips. I steered clear of most of the crappy (imo) human alliance, and so missed out on most of the guns.

I agree, a pack like that would go over really well. But I've preordered the iGear weapons pack/crate with no remorse and I think even that's a great deal! To my knowledge, no one is offering a multi-weapon pack for even close to the price you're asking for, not even CLOSE. And look how much some of the single weapons cost on Shapeways, a 10 pack would be around $50. I believe you're being too hard on iGear, but to each their own. Still think $3/ea for weapons (and a "free" weapons crate) is a pretty good deal if it isn't HasTak distributing.

I'M A idea fan,so i could literally create a list in the infinty level.

Here's a short list of stuff I'd like to see get made by these 3rd party TF companies.

(1) headmaster zarak for the energon scorponok toy. also create the shield & large riffle gun with the clip thing.

(2)masterfoce styled headmaster for the energon/cbertron dark scorponok toy. include the shield,gun & red spiked sphere stick.

(3) Create protector styled trailer/armor for the SDCC Alternators rodimus toy.

(4)Leader sized 100% new mold for masterforce overlord. 2 voyager sized vhechicles,a tank & jet that merge to form a super robot overlord.

(5) lets gets some cancelled hasbro proto types,test shots,CGI images into 3rd party toy form. like the ROTF Tidalwave as a leader sized toy. leader sized animated tripple changer maruader megatron. cadillac escalade alternators megatron ultra sized.

(6) lets create more PCC drones that can transform into individual robot modes. for all the teams.

(7)G-1 Styled seeker head for the HFTD Leader sized starscream toy.

(8)create a whole new right arm that is super poseable for ROTF Leader sized Megatron.

(9)Ultra magnus trailer/armor for the MP-10 Convoy.

(10) animal based AEC styled minicons. like a bear,Shark,bull,boar,aligator,etc...

Replacement arms with better articulation for Classics Hot-Rod and Seekers.

Nullray cannons like the ones included with the Starscream coronation kit for all the other classic seekers.

Vortex and Brawl figures to replace the energon molds for the FP Bruticus set and a replacement head for Onslaught.

More target masters and headmasters.

Sun Dec 25, 2011 9:09 am

I second Tidalwavx's idea about a replacement head, gun and shield for Energon Scorponok. Hell, I'm legit surprised we haven't seen that one yet.

A stock, silencer and mace for Classics Megatron, the stock and silencer combing to form a weapons platform.

A third-party Technobot set. After Devastator, Superion needs some help.

I have always said that a TF is only as great as the weapon it carries. Now I think it would be great to see combiners Computron and a much needed Menasor, c'mon 3rd-Party people you can do it! The other thing that just came to my mind was Armada Shockwave (Tidalwave) and give him to grand size weapons to peg onto his mini-con pegs at the end of both arms and re-sculpted craft for his legs for better articulation and range of movement. Of course a total tribute to Armada Shockwave would just be :shock:

They should make things Hasbro just won't. A combining Menasaur and the Protectobots would be nice.

Classics Dinobots. We don't really need Grimlock, the rest would be nice. TFC did an admiral job trying with that .... sort of, but this is the era of second options and I'd like an option that would really fit here.

The Sharkticons and Allicons. iGear said it was planning some Sharkticons .... would love to see them finish that.

Arbulus and Kranix. To round out the movie case.

Sun Dec 25, 2011 3:57 pm

GI Joe-scale humans. Spike, Sparkplug, Carly, Chip, Marissa, Sam, Mikaela, Lennox, Epps and others.

Sun Dec 25, 2011 6:15 pm

lots of good ideas.

Renderform could handle all the guns and shields...
I'm still eager for a weapon pack that features clips.. I don't mind paying 20 bucks for a pack of 10-15 loosely packaged clip guns...

Headrobots should definitely start tackling the figures that could benefit from it, like Scorponok; I see too many repainted generic-looking headmasters that turn into a snake tanks.

One thing we all need is more combiners. TFC, Maketoys, FP, get on it, haha.

And we could definitely do with more Targetmasters and other minicons, especially if they have a weapon mode (like the firebot minicon) in addition to another alt mode.

Since Reprolabels wont do it, I'd like to see somebody tackle a Marlboor sticker set with a replacement head for Generations Wheeljack.

News Credits: 1 · Sun Dec 25, 2011 8:57 pm

Upgrade kit for United/Generations Thunderwing & Sky Shadow (aka Black Shadow). Now that the repaint's out, it's time for the 3P companies to milk the mold

Oh, and a Liokaiser set please.

THAT WAS WHAT I FORGOT! An upgrade suit for Thunderwing! you stick the generations mold into his upgrade suit and you finally have a leader sized thunderwing! Thanks for reminding me, unicron nemesis.

It seems very feasible so I hope someone takes up the project. We need Thunderwing in his awesome glory as depicted in the IDW comics!

I second this idea. Similar in vein to the Takara MP Brave King ex-kaiser toy. their could be a leader sized pretender humanoid suit that transforms into a jet. then the generations thunderwing deluxe robot mode toy could squeeze inside a cavity in the 3rd party leader sized robot suit of armor. then similar to the 1988 mega-pretender thinderwing toy. the deluxe generations thunderwing jet mode could hook up to the front or the 3rd party leader sized jet to form a super jet mode.

How about instead of Marlboor, it would be about Kup's Cygars?
The more I think about it the more I want it actually.

A little further down the list than Masterpiece/Leader-class G1 Shockwave (isn't it just criminal that no one has picked up this torch yet?), Soundwave and Blaster:

G1 Huffer that is voyager-sized in 'bot mode that is comparatively scaled to MP-10 in truck mode and that can tow his trailer (Huffer is, after all, "a true friend" to Optimus Prime).

For that matter, I'd like to see all the Season 1 minibots in deluxe-to-voyager sized versions with more-or-less realistic vehicle modes that correctly scale with Classics/Henkei/et al Autobot cars.

Voyager-sized G1 Trailbreaker and Hoist would not hurt my feelings, either (though I would not be at all surprised if these are already in development at iGear).

Oh hell, how about a G1 Skids (the sociologist, not the horrible Bayverse wanna-be gangbanger) while they're at it?

Headmaster upgrade kits for both Energon Scorponok and his Cybertron repaint would be welcome as well.

- Complete the Triple-Changers, both Autobots and Decepticons
- Liokaizer please. He's an awesome combiner and like Devy, unique transformation (an large scale, while we're at it, no scout class)
- Shouldn't Voyager Galvy out already? It's been almost 4 years since the official deluxe one, it's about time we have Galvy that can put a fight with Protector

Tue Jan 10, 2012 2:50 am

different lenses for Perfect Effect's SFX that turn into different weapon packs.

g3 trailer revised to homage ultra magnus car hauler.

front landing gear for the classics seeker mold that comes packed with a set of accurate null ray missiles that plug into the previous launchers - and chrome em out.

a robot that turns into a mechanism that can scratch your back and ass at the same damn time.

michael bay that tuns into a douche nozzle.

"michael bay that tuns into a douche nozzle."

ZOMG i totally LoL'd...Touche, Court Jester, touche haha.

How about:

1. A classic (NON MOVIE) version of Shockwave.
2. Stunticons!
3. A Kranix figure that actually has an alt mode
4. a GOOD Galvatron (keep his alt mode movie-style, and his big ol' orange arm cannon kkthxbai)
5. the rest of the Dinobots

Thu Jan 12, 2012 2:46 pm

How about:

1. New heads for the 3 original Bruticus combiners more like their G1 counterparts, which would better match the FP upgrades.

2. Better weapons for CHURG figures! New null-rays for classics seekers(as mentioned by others here), a more accurate black rifle for RTS Tracks, some better clip-system weapons, G1 style guns for Hot-Rod, a G1 style rifle for Optimus Prime, the list goes on lol!

3. Again, as mentioned by others here, a Headmaster upgrade set for Energon
and Cybertron Scorponok (I'm looking at you, Headrobots!) with a G1 accurate shield, orange and black G1-style rifle and red spear for the Energon Dark Scorponok.

4. Moar combiners!!!!
