What with Grimmy-boy being revealed as the next MP figure, who would you most like to see after that? Which character would be best revitalised for Universe/Henkei? And which figure would work well in the Animated aesthetic?

[bcm77]

Masterpiece = Shockwave or Bumblebee
Universe = Deluxe Wheeljack or Jazz
Animated = Supreme Class Omega Supreme

[WolfDawg]

Masterpiece - Definitely Shockwave
Universe - The Unreleased Universe Defensor/Hot Spot. He was a remold of RID Prime and looked freakin awesome!
Animated - Bruticus or Devastator

[sixshot2000]

Universe:Sixshot,Soundwave,Fortress Maximus
MP:Soundwave,Devastater,Sixshot
Animated:Sixshot

[Grimpoo]

Well with this Grimlock release...id like all of the dinobots to be made into MP.

Animated i would love to see a rumble and ratbat

Universe Scorponok and Jazz!

[Amelie]

Universe Arcee. The one they cancelled - Cyberfembot have pics

Universe G1 Scourge
Universe G1 Wreck-Gar because the original version sucked.

[Omega Charge]

Universe: Arcee, Beast Wars Blackarachnia

[Autoclot]

MP: Devastator, Bruticus or Menasor. Any G1 Autobot car

Classics: Citybots

Animated: Wheeljack, Bruticus

[OPTIMUS MAGNUS]

MP- Dinobots/shockwave Followed by a Sunstreaker/Sideswipe

Universe- Wheeljack/Jazz followed by Shockwave/BLITZWING!

Animated- Super HUGE Omega Supreme

[Noshrok Grimskull]

Universe: Wheeljack

Animated: Wheeljack

Masterpiece: Wheeljack, Rodimus, Soundwave, Shockwave, Warpath

[Chaoslock]

Masterpiece: Galvatron, definitely. Needs improvements over any of his reincarnations.

Universe: IDW Hardhead or leader-sized G2 Megatron (I swear, I once dreamed of a freakin' big robot that had exactly the same color and chest-style as those)

Animated: Unicron or Omega Supreme

[breakthru]

Masterpiece: Shockwave

Universe: Wheeljack, Blitzwing or Jazz

Animated: I don't collect or watch so I don't have a clue who's already been released.

[Delicon]

Interesting topic.

MP - Soundwave, easily. While his original toy version was a microcassette recorder, his storyline alt mode always looked a bit bigger, more like a full-sized tape deck. I'd love a big Soundwave figure that could trun into a vintage style tape player. It's something Hasbro probably would never do, but Takara might make an exception.

Universe - You have to do ALL of the Dinobots. The best thing we've gotten for Dinobot updates over the last decade or 2 have been Classics Grimlock and the awesome but unlicensed WST. The Animated Dinobots are cool in their own regard, butwith the exceptrion of Grimlock really look flimsy and childish next to tehir G1 molds. I realize that the animation style is different and they do the Animated cartoon versions justice, but I think G1 Dinobots would fly off the shelves in Universe. A lot of people mention them for MP, butthe high pricepoint means the average person wouldn't buy all 5 as easily.

Animated - I think they've been doing a good job so far with what they have released. Being that they're basing this line off of a running show, they are somewhat limited on who they can come out with, unless theyu add new characters.

[Savage]

MP:
Galvatron
Shockwave

Universe:
Blackarachnia. Her original Beast Wars incarnation was just a repaint of Tarantulas, much room for improvement.
Also Shockwave, preferrably Voyager class.

[Primacron's Little Helper]

Universe: Jazz - he's the most prominant G1 character not to have received a figure yet.

MP: Soundwave - with actual sized cassettes. We'd all be going to car boots/garage sales to pick up some tapes to play on him!

Animated: Snarl (Stegosaurus) - I think a Stegosaurus transformer would work well in the animated style.

[*Soundwave*]

Universe: Soundwave
MP: Soundwave
Animated: Omega Supreme

[Jaw Crusher]

UNIVERSE

AUTOBOTS: Pretty much the rest of the original G1 cars and Minibots; Broadside, just for the sake of having an Autobot triple-changer since Hasbro can't seem to get the job done with Springer; a Supreme-class Sky Lynx; the remaining Dinobots; and Arcee.
DECEPTICONS: Blitzwing; a new Gnaw/Sharkticon (preferably one that resembles an actual shark - and I don't mean just a purple and green repaint of Sky-Byte); Ratbat and the Shakers; and Shockwave.

MASTERPIECE

AUTOBOTS: Rodimus Prime.
DECEPTICONS: Galvatron.

ANIMATED

AUTOBOTS: The Wreckers, Nightbeat, Alpha Trion.
DECEPTICONS: Jhiaxus, Thunderwing, the Combaticons, the Stunticons, Barricade.

[Diem]

As for me:

Masterpiece: Breakdown. I'd love to see a well-crafted Lambourghini that transformers into one of my favourite characters.

Universe: Any Headmasters, Targetmasters or Powermasters but especially, ESPECIALLY the Horrorcons. ESPECIALLY Snapdragon.

Animated: I don't like the original Counterpunch but I can see him working really well in Animated, he has a simple but very-expressive design.Evil face raaaargh, Good face hmmm, Evil face raaaaargh, Good face hmmmm.

3 questions, one answer: Wheeljack!

[Gandalf]

I want to see as many G1 characters in the Universe/Classics 2.0 as possible. All new molds. Now that they have started again, I REALLY want them to keep this line going!

My top choices are: Arcee (G1 accurate futuristic car!), Jazz, Springer (triplechanger), Blurr and Soundwave.

Also: Kup, Blitzwing, Perceptor, Blaster, Devastator, Wheeljack, Rodimus Prime, Trailbreaker, etc.

I would also love to see a Powermaster style Optimus Prime, you know, with a trailer. And a retail release of Thundercracker, Thrust and Dirge.

A Voyager Galvatron with cannon alt mode would be nice, too.

*dreamy sigh*

[shortround]

MP-Fortress maximus
Universe-trailbreak/Hoist
Animated Omega supreme

[nightbolt]

MP: sixshot
C2.0/U: sixshot, shockwave, tm2 dinobot, snapdragon, sentinel prime, and a nemisis prime that isnt overpriced .
A: nemisis prime, and sixshot.

[SentinelA]

Masterpiece Galvatron

Universe Classics: Wheeljack, Shockwave or Jazz

Animated: Arcee

[Free Fall 19]

I havent gotten to pick up any animated yet, so im not sure who'd i want in that style. but for universe id pick:

Shockwave
Skidz
Grapple
Tracks
Deluxe Size Brawn
Deluxe Size Beachcomber

[Windsweeper]

Universe:

Return of Basic/Scout size class!!!!

Supreme Tidal Wave and Broadside

Rodimus Prime, be happy with a Voyager version of Titanium. Could then be repainted as Menasor.

The Horrorcons

Sentinel Prime and Prime Nova (prefer Marvel Prime Nova to IDW Nova Prime, just feel it sounds better)

Deluxe Leo Prime

Voyager+ Motormaster, would settle for repaint of RID Magnus

Deluxe versions of the Machine Wars jet and tow truck molds in all their colour schemes: MW, BW, RID and Robotmasters. Be happy with Energon Starscream and Cybertron Thundercracker with remolded heads. Have oversized KO's of Wrecker Hook and Wingstun and they look great in the Deluxe size.

Cybertron Starscream as Jhiaxus

Seeker mold recoloured as: G2 Ramjet, G2 Starscream, Black Starscream
