I betcha... (Generations and RtS Redecos)

I betcha Kup gets recolored into Classics Gears. Body structure and alt mode work for this, look at the tri-layer portion of his body and then look at the G1 animation model.

The blinding brilliance of this prophecy shall lead the way to further predictions...from you!

Come forward and astound us with your Classic-sy redeco ideas.

We'll see it when Kups instructions will be scanned :P

My prophecy: the Frenzy tank will be remolded as Killbison - the tank mode is made for him. And with another remold with claws instead of guns, it would make a perfect Botcon Gen 1/2 Rescue Force <Killbison>

Well since my last prediction (Thunderwing into Black Shadow) came true, let's see what else I've got...

I'd be honestly surprised if G2 Prime didn't get a repaint into RiD Scourge, or Magnus.
Windcharger will get a Decepticharge repaint. I kid... though maybe another G1 Minibot... Tailgate? Hubcap?
hmmm....
The one I'm more interested in right now is Scourge (the tracker) will he be simply repainted into the sweeps (army building FTW) or perhaps the 'Bro has something more sinister up their sleeves for him?
I'd like to hear thoughts on that one.

Ill bet Frenzy and Rumble are reworked into Eject and Rewind at some point.....and I think Tracks could make a good Runabout and Runamuck.easy money right there for Hasbro.

That's a pretty good idea right there.

Kups truck form looks like the old truck from Cars.

Never thought of that before, but Kup-to-Gears is a pretty good idea.

I can easily see Windcharger getting retooled for Tailgate, and as mentioned above, Hubcap is another idea (and frankly one I love, as Hubcap was one of the few Transformers toys I had as a kid).

I'm not sure who it could be, but I'm sure Wheeljack/Tracks would be suitable for another retool. Maybe Deadend or Wildrider?

Not a bad idea, but i'd rather see Gears done in scout class.

I'd love to see Kup recoloured as Orion Pax, and packaged with a repaint of legends Wheelie as Dion.

I hope we get Magnus, but Hasbro doesn't love him anymore...
But if we do get "Scourge" he will probably be named "Nemesis Prime" because the G1 Scourge character is already being released.

Jazz could get repainted into Ricochet.

I like Kup into Trailbreaker/Hoist with a revamped cab of course, someone else on here said this somewhere.

Tracks to runamuck etc is pure gold, would buy instantly

and of course Scourge into Sweep, hello army builders (me)
I'm already up shts creek with Botcon sweeps and maybe titaniums too. oh the poor wallet and I dont even care for the 86 movie or season 3.... #-o :BANG_HEAD:

Laser Prime = Nemesis Prime.

I have nothing further to contribute.

I really don't think Kup into Trailbreaker would work at all.

The body designs draw from entirely different groups of identification.

I'm going Throttlebot redux here, with the following

Tracks with a remolded Wheeljack face into Freeway
Kup into Wideload (new head, different weapon)
Jazz into Searchlight (with the speakers becoming lights and a new head)
Hound into Rollbar (new head)

Goldbug/Gold Bumblebee is already confirmed in legends.

Tomahawk will eventually get a Whirl repaint, as that is all they seem to do with choppers.

I wouldn't say no to a Grappel/Inferno mix into Hauler, or a green repaint of Grappel into Hook/Hightower.

And of course the obligitory Legends Trailcutter straight repainted into Hoist and Jazz into Stepper/Rocochet.

Hot Spot is one of my all time faves no doubt-I would need to see a new head though.

It still surprises me that we haven't seen Hound slightly remolded into Swindle. It seems so obvious, too.

I'm willing to bet that we'll see Toxitron before Nemesis Prime.

It does seem obvious, however, I wish they'd do something more creative.

Hound and Swindle have nothing in common except their altmode. I've seen plenty of people try to do it and it never looks like something that would actually get made.

I'm really really hoping for a WFC Soundwave Remold as blaster. Change the head and weapons, and give him a paint job reminicent of Blaster and you'd have a real winner. It probably wouldn't hut to change the front part of the tank (the claws) either.

I also wouldn't mind:
RotF Hubcap re done as one of the micromaster Hot Rod Patrol
Perceptor re-done as Cybertron Defence Red Alert

I'm hoping Windcharger does get a Dcepticharge repaint. I love Scout cars and new G1 characters.

Maybe Kup as Electro, carrying on the G2 vibe this year.

Or even give him a head remold to give us G2 Motormouth.

I'd love to see Breakdown/Oilpan repainted as RID REV.

Or finally repaint Clocker as Hot Rod. I have a custom, it works!

Maybe Acid Storm as either Sunstorm or one of those generic purple seekers/WW clone warriors. Be nice to get a troop builder.

That would definitely be cool. He almost has a 'Young Hot Rod' look to him. 8)
