If we're talking things we'd like to see that could be done with contemporary molds, I'd like:
G2 Gobots (released and unreleased)
Spychangers
And maybe a Go-Bot nod or two.
If you're looking at an interesting cross-brand option, maybe:
RiD Spychangers Combiner with Stormjet (Cyclonus tooling) as leader. Hotshot, Crosswise, Ironhide, and Mirage.
G2 Gobots Combiner with Pyro (Onslaught tooling, he's a non-rescue weaponized firetruck) as leader. Ironhide, Mirage, Bumblebee, and maybe unreleased G2 Wheeljack?
Thunderclash would work well as a CW Prime homage. There are a few options for MW homages, particularly with a mix of factions.
You could probably get a fairly decent set of Gobots homages from CW molds. (Leader One and Cy-Kill anyway.)
Or for that matter Energon.
I think taken altogether, maybe a year with Thunderclash from CW Prime (new head, Motormaster tooling), RiD Ironhide (that deco rocks, from the CW Ironhide tooling), Cy-Kill (Groove), G2 Gobot Mirage (Mirage/Dragstrip), and Cybertron Excellion (Rock). Huffer as Universe Apelinq from Sentinel Maximus.
Although while I'm tossing screwball premises out:
Soundwave as a Combiner with Rumble, Frenzy, Buzzsaw, and Laserbeak as limbs. Might need a new peg for Ravage in the chest. Combines to form Soundblaster. Seems more like a retail release though, with LB and BS as jets with bird heads in robot mode and R & F maybe sporting their G2 Gobot decos.
Also, I would go NUTS if they ever had a 2005 movie combiner (there are good candidates for Springer and Kup and possibly Arcee and Blurr) with Rodimus as the core and Wheelie as the chest piece to form... ahahahaha... Rodimal Rodimus. Or Rodimus Supreme. But Rodimal Rodimus just pleases my love of the screwball.
