The Energon Pub

I'm sure it's on a lot of peoples' minds which characters they'd like to see make the cut for the inevitable classics 3.0 (no way Hasbro is gonna cancel such an awesome and successful toyline) So the question is, who do you wanna see make the cut?

I'm gonna go with obvious ones (i.e. ones Hasbro has unofficially announced) as well as ones I think they should make. I tried to go with ones that I think are potentials and not just my fav characters.

here we go:
Jazz
Ricochet (jazz repaint)
Trailbreaker
Hoist (trailbreaker repaint)
Soundwave (as long as he's not that SUV they designed... who am I kidding I'd buy it anyway.. but I won't like it )
Grapple (inferno retool)
Wheeljack

and since they said they wanted to do Rhinox, I'd like to see the rest of the crew:
Rhinox
Rattrap
Optimus Primal

and maybe in later waves some predacons (terrorsaur I think would be one they'd jump on first... seems their style)

now for ones that don't seem likely but I'd like to see anyway:
Shockwave
Kup
Perceptor
Trypticon
Metroplex
Tracks
Skids
Legends Windcharger
Legends Cliffjumper
Legends Gears
Legends Seaspray
Swoop
Slag
Scourge
Shrapnel
Bombshell
Omega Supreme
Leader-1 (yeah that's right! )
and while I'm at it: Cykill!

I'd like to see Tracks, any headmasters, more targetmasters, any powermasters, Jazz, triplechanging Springer, Sandstorm, and Broadside, any combiners, and anything else pretty much as long as they do some of these.

Soundwave, Shockwave, Sixshot, Omega Supreme(or animated) and pretty much everyone else...

Shockwave, Sixshot, Runabout and Runamuck would make my day.

Well, first off, I'm hoping to see Red Alert released before the movie line hits. I don't know if they can squeeze in an April wave for Universe or not, but I'm hoping. They could also throw in another seeker repaint...Sunstorm or something.

As far as the whole classics 3.0 goes:

Legends:
Gears
Windcharger
Cliffjumper
Huffer

Deluxe:
Jazz
Wheeljack
Trailbreaker
Tracks

Voyager:
Soundwave

Ultra:
Motormaster
Hot Spot

Then there's the obvious repaints/rettols of those figures too

Legends:
Seaspray

Deluxe:
Tracks
Punch/Counterpunch (Sideswipe/Sunstreaker mold, not sure how they'd do two different heads though)

Voyager:
Hot Spot (Inferno mold)
Another Seeker like the Target Exclusive Dirge (Galaxy Force Starscream mold)

Ultra:
Trypticon (Cybertron Scourge mold)

like this:

I've looked through all the dinosaur/dragon TF's they've done, and the only one I though would make a good Trypticon (unless they did a new mold... yeah right) is transmetal 2 megatron (dragon)... He's big and menacing and still a great mold... just my thoughts

We just gotta see Jazz. I would also like to see Wheeljack and Tracks. Those are the must haves for me. Pretty standard.

IDW figures...

Nova Prime
Thunderwing
Bludgeon

Artfire w/ slight Nightstick remold

Defensor from RID Optimus Prime (Fire Convoy)

A base of some sort any, Overlord, Metroplex, Fortress Maximus...

Fortress Maximus (Cybertron Metroplex, w/slight head remold)
Tracks
Jazz
Wheeljack
Trailbreaker
Hoist
Grapple
Breakdown (Sideswipe repaint)
Dead End (Silverstreak repaint)
Wildrider (Rodimus repaint)
Motormaster (G2 Hero Prime w/remold head)
Dirge (Henkei repaint)
Thrust (Henkei repaint)
Thundercracker

Rodimus Prime (though I have a feeling as soon as FP's Protector upgrade comes out I'll no longer care if Hasbro makes one...but for now I'll keep it on the list)

The Brothers Wave (Shock and Sound) both voyagastic...

Ol' Jazz and Wheeljack need some love...

Ultra Six-Shot

And for crying out loud make a damn G1 Arcee already! What is the freaking hold up?? It's been 23 damn years!

Also want to see a reapint of Cybertron Primus in the "Ultimate Guide" style colours...

More Dinbots wouldn't make me sad...


That's all I feel like thinking about right now...

Trailbreaker - even if they call him Trailblazer (one episode, I can handle it)

Hoist

Motormaster

Sludge

Snarl

Insecticons ( War Within or don't bother )

Springer

Blitzwing

DRIFT

Sunstorm with remoulded arm cannons that don't suck

more awesome Galvatron

Downshift, not Wheeljack

Wheeljack, not Downshift

legends Powerglide, Rumble, Laserbeak, Squaktalk & Beastbox, Raindance and Grandslam, Pipes, Huffer, Swerve, Tailgate, Seaspray, Windcharger, Gears, Hubcap ect...

bigger Warpath

Backstreet

Needlenose

Ruckus

I give up... I'm tired.

These should all be new molds that can be repainted into appropriate characters if necessary:

Arcee (futuristic car)
Blurr
Triplechangers Springer and Blitzwing
Jazz
Wheeljack
Kup
Perceptor (microscope)

Blaster and Cassettes
Soundwave and Cassettes
Scourge
Trailbreaker
Shockwave
Devastator/Constructicons

Thundercracker and Skywarp (retail release)
Thrust and Dirge (retail release)
Rodimus Prime
Powermaster Optimus Prime
Galvatron (voyager sized cannon alt mode)
Dinobots
Wreck-Gar
Brawn (deluxe)

Tigatron (NEW, not a repaint of Cheetor)
Airazor

I found the one you were referring to. It'd be cool if some those Transmetal TFs got re-released, but I guess I was thinking the Cybertron Scourge mold because it seems that Cybertron was the line of choice for the Universe 2.0 repaints.

Oh, and that Jin Saotome custom is the cat's meow.

Wouldn't it be cool if there were more Classics/Universe combiners?
Menasor,Defensor,Predaking ect
Also,I would love some TWW figures.The TITANIUM ones must be great(I don't have any and most of them are out of stock )but there are more TWW characters that would make great figures,such as Bumblebee,Wheeljack,Motormaster,Constructicons...
And,as many have said before me,there MUST be a Classics Shockwave.

Jazz
Tracks
Wheelejack
Trailbreaker
Blurr
Kup
Springer

Soundwave
Shockwave
Blitzwing

Rhinox
Scorponok
Silverbolt

I'm sick of 1984-86 characters. Give us some head/target/powerMasters, some Triggerbots/cons and the Six-changers.

Oh yeah, that's exactly what I want to see. A Deluxe Quickswitch.

I'd like them to repaint 2.0 Inferno into Hotspot.

Don't even get me started on how under-rated Quickswitch is.

I'm listening.

Well, he's highly posable, despite being charmingly bulky (where most of his contemporaries were either posable but spindly or bulky but brickish). His head shape and flip up face plate give him a nice line of continuity with the Headmasters. His puma mode is one of my favourite beast modes in the entire TF line, since he looks like a heavily armoured big cat. His hydrofoil is both unique and fairly accurate, his plane mode is interesting and dangerous-looking (like a vast predatory bird?), his drill tank is at least solid looking. I'll admit that his gun mode is weak, his colour scheme isn't the best, and that he has a big white shovel-dick. But in my opinion he's at least Sixshot's equal.

Menasor,Defensor,Predaking .

As much as I'd love to see an updated Predaking, after the Energon combiner sets I'm a little wary about them making any more...The Energon ones were SO half-assed...



But I want to add Blitzwing and Scourge to my list...I need both of those like a plague...And by that I mean, one of those good plagues that are awesome and turn everything into candy or something...I'm sorry, what were we talking about?

They should do, It's about time. Between the various fictions, the e-hobby minibots, Botcon, and Crasher being released as Fracture it is time for Hasbro to put their foot down, and finally retcon go-bots into TF, and the Classics line is the best showcase for this unless they plan to reup the franchise and release them on their own.

Tak, and Botcon already has the ball rolling and the storyline set out for how and why they are interacting in the Classicverse, and with BugBite's comment that more are on their way, all hasbro has to do to commit is by releasing Leader-1 in the seeker , silverbolt or Jetfire mold.

Additionally from the Legends:
Brawn = Small Foot
Hound = Geeper-Creeper
Beachcomber = Buggyman
Cosmos = Pathfinder
Warpath = Treds
Wheelie = Scooter
Rodimus = Turbo
A. Starscream = Fitor

as for TF's to get the Classics treatment:
Wheeljack
Sunstorm
Miverna
SkyLynx
Skybite

I'd also like to see(in light to the varous opinions on the Bayverse one) Devestator. It was nice to see the one redeco from Energon that was the store exclusive, but it would be cool to see what they could engineer nowdays if they were to try and remake him.

Scourge, the Insecticons, the other Dinobots, Seaspray, Shockwave, Blitzwing, Blurr, Kup, Motormaster, Flywheels, Sixshot, and a headmaster (don't really care which one).

Wheeljack and Arcee please!!
