The Energon Pub

Heres my list
Cadillac xlr - O-man this is a realy sweet ride. He would make the perfect "Stuck up" autobot.

SR-71 Blackbird - This plane would be great as a decipticon the long fuselage becoming a sword and the wings making up the main body.

Some more submarines would be nice (nuclear or Exlporatory)

This is weird but i always thought a GIANT transforming Offshore oil rig would be cool, kind of like trypticon but for the water. The D-cons could use him to collect oil while he's not fighting and have him transform to fight metroplex on land.
He could be called Sludger i guess

Let me here from you guys

This needs to be in the toys forum "my bad"

Why jsut vehicles? I have some animals in mind that would've made great BW figures or characters, like a Manta Ray or a Vulture. Still, most TF's are vehicles, & I think that another base need to be made, only this time I would let the designers that made MP Starscream make it, I'm waiting for an accurate military base TF. Other than that, I like the idea of a Hummer as a TF. Maybe Ironhide or another 'Tough Guy' TF, like Brawn or Gears.

well, if i'm not mistaken, isn't movie Ratchet a Hummer and BW Depthcharge a Manta Ray?

either way...yeah, i like the oil tanker design idea

i'll probably work on that...

I want to see a Decepticon who is a hearse.

I like the Blackbird idea the best. I actually came up with some design sketches for a Blackbird TF once. Maybe I could sell them to Hasbro

Ah crap, I forgot about Depth Charge. However, I would like a Hummer TF that isn't yellow. Either silver or black. Okay, since I got the animal TF wrong, I'll go w/the Vulture still. I like the idea of a Vulture that's evil. Kinda like Terrorsaur. Only a Vulture.

Vultures or more or less the garbage men of the animal kingdom then Wariors.

Id like to see a leader class Blue whale figure

A hippo already owns a gator 24/7 so i figured it be an obvious one but noooo. Hasbro had to make convoy think he was batman... all i want is a remold of Rhinox.

As for vehicles... there is a new unmanned recon Jet, a mini R/C moble SAM launcher, and some stealthed seige suv styled thingy

Use the three to make a Magnaboss/Overlord type mech named "Search n Seiger" he'ld always be a double threat for land or air combat.

and finally...

Don's Dominator Megatron needs a toy and be featured as IDW's G2 Megs, though Destro's Dominator should probably be modifide into a more parportional vehicle... I'ld buy two.

i'ld paint one in BW Meg's TM color scheme

may I introduce you to the vehicle most deserving of the transformers treatment.

What could he be called? Because that would be cool.

I was thinking maybe Reaper or Pallbearer or something like that. You're right, that would make for an awesome toy.

Here are the transformers vehicals I want to see.

A Garbage Truck: I was thinking this could be a cool idea for a reissued junkion.

A Hearse: I agree, this would be cool.

A Bus: A city bus, or maybe a double decker. The vehical mode is boxy, but the robot mode could be very detailed.

A Limosine: Hmmm, a rich, snobby, decepticon maybe?

A Giant Mining Dumptruck to scale: You know the ones big enough to run over pick up trucks? one of those, to scale with the other figures with the line (thus huge.Make him green, make his robot mode resemble devestator.

A Submarine:I am suprised I have not seen one yet.

A Bomber: I am still suprised I never seen one. (ooh, how about a sub/bomber/robot triple changer, you can call it divebomb).

A Stealth Fighter or Bomber: Perfect for a modernized skywarp as it is a military jet design and black.

A "Blue Angels" Jet: Perfect for a modernized thundercracker as it is a military jet design and blue.

A F-14 Tomcat: Classics jetfire is very close.

Some old tanks including the following

A WWI Tank: Yep, onr of the ones with the huge treadstaking up the entire side and the side mounted machine guns.

The Combat Car: A tank made between the world wars (I heard it saw limited use in the Philippines in WW2) which had twin turrrets with machine guns.

A Sturmtiger: A German tank with a short stubby mortar cannon for a weapon.

A Lee: A US Tank from WWII with a turret and a secondary main gun fixxed to the main body.

A Tank Destroyer: A type of tank for anti-tank purposes from WWII which had a gun fixed to the main body instead of a turret.

I'd also like to see a Classics Wreck Gar made to look like a rusty harley but with a show accurate robot form.

A Decepticon hearse has to be called Dead End.

The Blackbird jet may have been done already. Snapdragon and the combining Micromaster jet from the Battle Squad both resemble the Blackbird jet.

How about redoing the Star Wars Transformers? The vehicles were perfect but the heads were mostly God-Awful. Darth Vader and the Fetts I'm looking at you. Just can't take them seriously. Plus using Star Wars names on the actual Transformers is just wrong.

Damn right it does! I can see it now "face it, were doomed... just like the guy in my back."

I'd also like to see more tanks! Not like armada Megatron but real world tanks and lots of them! Maybe a classics Warpath? I think a Bradley would be a good model. Or a classics Blitzwing mig 31/T-64 triple changer. And of course a Brawl, I'd like to see a Leopard 2.

I like Windy's "Dead End" suggestion, though if not that, then a good name would be Tombstone or Finalizer.

There are too many animal modes that would be good to list, and I'd really like to see more organic beast modes... We get believable vehicle modes, why not the same for beast modes again some time? I'd love to see a sabre-toothed tiger, a sea turtle, a roach, a hermit crab, or a walrus.

Okay, on to what this thread's supposed to be about and my suggestions...

Why do we not have a taxi or steamroller TF yet? (The Go-Bots don't count.) The Steamroller TF's rollers would probably become weapons in robot mode... whatever he was armed with, it'd be huge.

Subway train... The whole thing, multiple cars. Front-car leader combines with passenger-car drones to form a gestalt.

I know this is a bit offbeat, but how about a riding lawnmower that launches his blades, either a la rotorforce or via ripcord?

As for devices, an iPod is too obvious... How about "virtual pet" ketchain TFs that are like Soundwave's cassettes? A kitty gigapet turns into a cougar, and the LCD parrot on the screen gives way to a far more high-tech bird of prey. These could be done with either stickers for the screens, or with actual LCD screens and sound effects... The screens would show the faction insignias, targeting grids, something like that while the toy's not in keychain mode, most likely.

The only thing in real life that I have always wanted them to do is make a Pre-BWNeo of Big Convoy as a Garbage Truck.

Dude a transforming double decker bus would be awesome. he could be called union jack because most dd-buses are from england.

The hearse could have even smaller robots in his coffin and launch them ala soundwave

I never liked train transformers "oh no its astrotrain! what do we do? just walk off the tracks he's a train!


a limo would be great, he could be used to kidnap famouse ppl

Also i would like a redisign of Omega Supreme. How about insted of an entire launchpad now Omega is just The rocket component. I would like to see hims As an Apollo 13 rocket beacuse their alread freaken gigantic (ive seen the one at cape canaveral).
It just never made sence to me if he was to travel to cyberton as a rocket how does the rest of the base Follow?

Ooh, i wasn't thinking realistic animal modes. I'd love to see the G1 beast and monster bots redone in organic looking beast wars style. I'd love to see a true to nature looking version of kickback.

As for new animals a whale, a swordfish, and a chambered nautilus could be cool, as could some ice age mammals. (anyone find it odd the absence of prehistoric mammals on beast wars. they had forms of creatures that survived to modern day (rats and cheetahs) and those who died out long before that time (dinosaurs) but no creatures who lived at that time but died out later).

As for a steamroller, I think that would be cool, especially if they also did a fork lift, a road grater, and maybe a paver.

How about a snow plow too?

A Hearse that can hold other transformers is an awesome idea. I didn't really think of that. Kinda like Soundwave but obviously a darker and more evil character. Maybe more of a solo/neutral character. Brings other transformers back like Prime in Dark Awakening. A name I thought of is Spark Reaper.

oh come on now....the vehicle kicks ass.....a car that drives like a bike, with that titling motion. What more could one want. plus you could hide a secondary helicopter mode in there fairly easily due to the shape of the cockpit

isn't that T-bob?

I though there already was a garbage truck... well there was an incredible fan art of one on deviant waaaay back when. i think i looked up "generic transformer"? There was also a forklift one there begging for Hasbro to snag for a toy design.

oddly enouff me and a friend though of that for a TF RP character. I'm surprised i didn't mention it on my first post.

Since i've been in India i took a little detour on the taxi idea with a Decepticon named "Auto-bot" due to the 3 wheeled taxi's over here being name Auto. He could have a kenetic meter rifle that charges up as he drives much like the fare meter of a taxi. He could charge it up to one huge blast or split it (ie half the rate) at any time. As for the name, there is an Autobot named "Gobots"

Anyway, I think a redesign of G1 Bonecrusher's toy/ trasnformation into a steam roller named "Flatline" would work. His roller could be a gravatron canon

Gigapet TF that transform... this spells the end of anything "-mon" but i'ld fear the marketing ploy that would be passed of as a show...

FirstChAoS: The Roach idea is awesome too. After pondering what the preportional powers of a spider are, i'm thinking the preportional powers of a roach are just scary... I could see him as the insecticon that survives anything Anything.

I think the "blue angles" are F-# (some# fighters with my sig's character paint job... ie a (Navy?) blue and gold seeker. The figure would be good, but i'ld just expect it to be a repainted Starscream myself.

tequila stu: The vehicle kicked skid plate for me too untill i pictured it orange and incessantly rhyming.

oh. and i'ld like to see Grimlock's G1 rex alt with BW fleshy goodness (IDW comic) rather than his BW spoted raptor alt. infact a fleshy version of all the G1 Dinobots!

AxiomScion wrote:tequila stu: The vehicle kicked skid plate for me too untill i pictured it orange and incessantly rhyming.

just picture it in a different, forest green, urban camo, red. and with a attitude akin to a lone wolf spec ops guy.

GOoin back to the hearse idea...that would be nice! As for names the ones i've seen already are good! Dead End is good but how about Drop off, Deep 6, it's not likely but Undertaker or Last-Ride

AxiomScion wrote:oh. and i'ld like to see Grimlock's G1 rex alt with BW fleshy goodness (IDW comic) rather than his BW spoted raptor alt. infact a fleshy version of all the G1 Dinobots!

Oh, HELL yes! Especially Sludge! We haven't gotten ANYONE with that alt mode since Sludge himself, and a fleshy version would kick all kinds of ass. The other four Dinobots have organic counterparts (BW Megatron, Terrorsaur, Guiledart, and Saberback's molds), so if we can only have one... Well, I'd rather have all five, but Sludge would be my first choice.

And if you HAVE to put faction symbols where they'll be visible on an organic alt mode, at least make them less glaring... The new paint jobs for the BW 10th anniversary reissues were very nice except for the faction symbols being too obvious on the organic beast modes. The only one whose insignia was hidden in beast mode was Rattrap, and he was a Transmetal and it wouldn't have mattered as much! Seriously, they could have made Cheetor's Maximal insignia black so it would fit in with his spots... A big Autobot insignia on a car is less glaring, since you can paint a car any way you want. You can't paint a lion or t-rex, though, certainly not safely.

Oh, and how about a cactus-former, just so Sling and Sabreback aren't the only plant-former toys out there.

And I can think of another vehicle that would make a nice alt mode... I have no idea what it's called, but I see it show up in construction areas a lot and it has a huge chainsaw on it. The chainsaw alone makes it an ideal Decepticon mode.

Oooh... I have a silly idea that just might work...Electric toothbrush. Little Timmy will be more cooperative about brushing his teeth when Bristleback's blasting the plaque off with a high-powered rotary laser... Maybe I should go into marketing, I'm starting to sound like I'd make a good soulless corporate shill.
