Everyone clamours for Dinobots; of course they do. But a G1 team I'd really like to see would be the full Female Autobot ensemble; especially given how IDW has given them much more distinct body types and personalities than 'token girlfriend'.
The whole 'lithe dainty pink female autobot that turns into a car' niche is already filled by Arcee. Gimme buff IDW Elita-1, dammit!

Elita wasn't portrayed as dainty. And her car mode more or less approximates Blurr's G1 style and combine ith with Pretender Diver's robot mode.
You can portray her as slim but just as deadly like Sawa from Akite or la Femme Nikita.
Another re-tool of the Blurr mold following what Takara did for the henkei Lambor/Sunstreaker ( twist here, face the fron to the back) mold and voila.......instant Elita 1.

Fun memories. This thread was one of our first discussion.

Oh, PLEASE, no. Blurr doesn't look like every single Transformer ever. So what if the vehicle modes look a little similar? Vehicle modes aren't the most important part. I want GOOD femmebots and cons.
I'd LOVE to get the full G1 Female Autobot cast. GOOD representations of them. It'd be even better if they were their own unique mould, but I'd settle for something that at least approximates their cartoon look.
Firestar is another without a good toy. It was late so I forgot about her. Botcon did make an Arcee redeco as Flareup, which is sorta like Firestar ... but I don't think it's that great. I'd like it if it had a new head like Chromia, but then she still shares Chromia's bodytype.

Orion Pax already shared some Kup similarities. Dame with Blurr and Elita. Sure the angle I showed is so limited as it IS her only vehicle appearance. But using your imagination plus how Elita was rendered in robot mode you can easily tell were the inspiration of the original Blurr came from.....sans the wheels.

So I will be redoing this list. WHat are obvious characters we dont have updates for yet and that we desperately need. Not much come to mind aside from some of the Beast Era and Snapdragon/Apeface.

I have my days.
mordhelm, I think a lot of people consider Classics, Universe, and Generations (plus offshoots like Reveal the Shield) all different names for the same line, hence the term "CHUG", and don't have any problems mixing them. And what about exclusives using CHUG molds intended to fill gaps in Generations like many of the Subscription Service releases which takes a bunch of figures out of the list.

I can't bring myself to consider Subscription Service figures or FunPub figures. The price for them is so unreasonable. I might as well buy 3rd party at the prices they were offered. My rule is pretty much Hasbro released toys for those figures.
I stray outside for Takara releases, (for instance UW Computron), but the price is still very near to the price I pay for similar sized Hasbro released figures.
