Thanks for clarifying! So now I won't go into why it would be a good business decision to choose a certain character! LOL.

As for my vote....

Logically, this is a very self-centered and otherwise useless cast of my vote. Why? Because of the three pre-order characters, he is the least I've seen of online, he was obviously not the most popular one out there, for probably a couple of reasons. He's also not going to win a popularity vote on this thread either, based on posts so far. Still....

Demolishor. Despite the previously mentioned reasons, those whom saw me playing with him loved his WfC design when they saw it. It made me proud to actually hear some of them say they'd wished they preordered him instead of Jazz or Shockwave (this was, of course, before the DLC).

Why do I pick him? Aesthetically I do like him. They put just as much effort into the design for every character model we have originally playable as all the characters who didn't make the campaign or original release. But, alas, my vote goes deeper than that (here comes the aforementioned self-centeredness, be warned!). Without trying to be too long-winded and make this my introductory post on Seibertron, I'm a TransCostumer and am currently working on Movie Brawl (didn't quite make it to Botcon this year...so I just wore my movie OC instead). I grow quite attached to whichever character I happen to be working on (movie Blackout was before this), and one of Brawl's working names was Demolisher. I've also recently watched Armada and loved his character in that series. He's devoted to Megatron, but yet conflicted.

Why not Brawl, you ask? Well, aesthetically, Brawl is a lot more bland in WfC to me. He's neat, but not exceptional, as I found Demolishor to be. (Still, I love his character in game, especially when he fought free of all those Autobots in Chapter III!)

So, there you have it. I vote Demolishor. NatsumeRyu of PSN.

My logical choice for a new figure would be Shockwave.

He deserves a toy beacause, 1. He needs a good figure that isn't so rare people can't get him, 2. He is a great Decepticon from the Transformers history, and 3. theres currently only two Decepticon WFC figures, Megatron and Soundwave, and the Autobots are getting CLiffjumper for thier faction bringing it up to three.

If we can't get Shockwave, I really, really, REALLY wish and hope (even though I know we won't get him) that we get Trypticon. He needs a figure more than any one else because he hasen't had had a figure since his G1 incarnation. If he does get a figure, it NEEDS to be as big as a leader class or a Supreme class.

BIFF! WHAM! POW!

Warpath here, and I've got a whole list of reasons for me to get a Generations figure, WHAMMO!

First off! I'm a classic G1 character. Not sayin' that nobody else on the list isn't G1, but KAZOOOM, I haven't gotten anything bigger than a Legends class for years, Wha POW!!

Here's another little diddy for ya! It's called "Retool Potential". Clearly, I'm amongst the few Autobots that are tanks, but you know what, you guys at hasbro could retool that "Darkmount" figure a good bit, and Whizzam!, instant Warpath!

Finally, I'm here, to talk to you guys on a more serious note, Pfweeee! Megatron, is currently the ONLY WfC Soldier class in the Generations line. BB and Cliff are both scouts, Optimus and Soundwave are both Leaders, but Megatron's all alone there, just one Tank. As the only Autobot Tank in WfC that comes for free with the game, I know how it feels to be all alone out there.

So that's why I say that I oughta be the next WfC representative in Generations. KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!, and see you next time.

Seriously, its Slipstream.
If she was awesome enough to get in the game despite the fact she isnt G1, she's awesome enough for a figure.
She is the only true female decepticon, she have a fantastic robot mode and an even better alt mode.
Has/Tak failed to give her representation in the animated line, but a generations figure would be even better.
And here is room in everyone's Classic/Universe/Generations seeker army for one more.

Runner up is Warpath due to the awesomeness of the cannonchest.

These are tough choices for myself and many other fans, but alas, I would choose Barricade.

Why, you may ask?

When we look at Transformers toys, we look at them more for their playability and their fun factor as opposed to how they act in the game and such. Barricade hits those points perfectly.

As of now, I have never seen him look this good as he does now, and his model in the game is agile and fast. When playing around with him, you can be sure that his limb movement will be fluid and fun, making you feel that he can truly be fast and take down multiple Autobots. His vehicle form is also to be commended, since the appearance is unique and his ability to move around while driving is also very fitting. The way he transforms into his vehicle form is also easy while being hard to mess up, so a little boy could seamlessly switch Barricade from his speedy car form to his agile robot form. We have seen many Barricades, but the more recent models have strayed from his original design. This, however, trumps Hasbro's movie Barricade efforts, and when you combine all these points, you can see that Barricade is truly the Transformer who deserves the spotlight in the toys section.

But, and not to sound greedy can we please see ALL the characters. The line is awesome, the possiblity and detail are amazing and all deserve to be put into production. On a side note, like the toys of Halo can we also get additional weapons not only guns, but hand to hand weapons as well? Well, I hope if nothing else maybe someone will agree with me and with any hope we will be pleasently surprised. And too be honest, like everyone I will gladly buy them if they put them out.

Um... I don't know if all of them are considered one character...

Remember, this is a contest to see which character deserves a figure the most, and as much as I would like to see them all as well, we can only pick one. Again, my pick's Starscream.

It's really simple, Shockwave. From a toy stand point, his character hasn't gotten any justice since G1, and what better way to bring Shockwave back into the fold by having the most bad ass aircraft ever? While a three pack of the Seekers would ultimately be the best answer, it's got to be Shockwave to decimate other Transformer Universe action figures for years to come.

T- is for Trypticon that's his name
R- is for really, RAD!
Y- is for the Yellow stick thing on his head
P- is for Purple DECALS!!!!
T- is for his name again (Trypticon)
I- is for Itty bitty teeth
C- is for his faction (he's a Con)
O- is for Old homages
N- is for Nine feet TALLL!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the wonderful entries everyone! We'll be going through them all now, only the entries that are three sentences or longer and use the eligible characters will be considered. If you have indicated that you do not own a PS3 or already have the PS3 DLC, then we thank you for your contribution and will negate your entry. Feel free to submit an entry if you have yet to do so, going through all of these will take some time!

I already have the DLC.. so best of luck to the winners. and vote for Slipstream.

In all complete honesty, to help commemorate the new Downloadable content Scattershot would b a great addition to the toy line...he, like shockwave does not have to many toys.. and i beleive he needs to make up for his poor show on the cybertron series. he is a soldier sized model. The Autobots need a tank, and Warpath would not sell as much as Scattershot. so Everyone, lets agree to vote the Scattman... and clear his name as a goofy hillbilly by giving him a wonderful new figure model

I'd put rabid dingo's down my pants for a Slipstream!

Starscream simply NEEDS to have a toy figure. He is one of THE most important characters in the Transformers Mythology, weither you are relatively new to the subject (like me), or a long-time fan. who have followed it from the start. Optimus Prime, Megatron and Starscream are, to me, the three biggest characters. And therefore, i was very dissapointed indeed when another classic character, Soundwave, was chosen as the fourth figure to be released. To me, Starscream would have been an obvious choice; that way, we could have gotten one of each game class; Bumblebee as the Scout; Megatron as the Soldier/Tank; Optimus Prime as the Leader/Truck; And Starscream as the Scientist/Jet. We would have one of each kind of vehicle. And as said above, he IS one of the most important characters. Soundwave is, well, not as important as Starscream. And to be honest, i do understand that he was chosen beacuse he was "the loyal hand of Megatron", but i would still have prefferred Starscream.

So, in short, three reasons that STARSCREAM would be an obvious choice to choose as the new Generations figure;

1. He is one of the greatest characters of the Transformers mythology. Weither you are new to the Transformers subject, like me, or if you are a long-time fan, you know this.

2. We need a jet. Choosing Starscream in the first place instead of Soundwave would have given us 1 of each of the 4 vehicle categories, but instead we now have 2 Leader/Trucks, Soundwave and Optimus Prime.

3. Great possibility for repaints. Skywarp and Thundercracker are the excact mold as Starscream, and could therefore be released later, saving both time and money.

I think i`m done.

I'm rather pleased with the Classics and U2.0 Starscreams that I already have. I wouldn't mind a Slipstream figure, though.

Wreckage42 wrote::BOT: For the autobots I would say Warpath. Besides movie warpath, we havent had the big autobot tank in ages.

For the Decepticons I would say Starscream, it would complete the Megatron, Soundwave and Starscream trio . We might also get thundercracker and skywarp repaints which I believe was said before.

Movie Warpath? Did I miss something...?

The answer is definitely BLAM! Warpath! If they give Seaspray the ZOWEY! voyager-class makeover why not POW! Warpath? We see a lot of the BOOM! same characters over and over for each new product line and it would WOW! great to see some "fresh faces". Plus you know that the Decipticons will BAM! get Starscream and that he will be repainted to Thundercracker and Skywarp - that would make it 3 to 5 in favor of the 'Cons. BANG! Warpath would make it 4 to 5, and what with all that KA-BOOM! firepower and ZING! outrageous personality it will be more like 4.5 to 5. (Seriously, he's only had 2, *tiny* figures in 25 years! He needs some love!)



(yes the 'blam's, 'zowey's, etc are cliche - but they are simply too much fun not to include. )

The many reasons Thundercracker is to awesome and massacres Starscream:
1. Starscream is way to arrogant. face it
2. Skywarp is pretty dumb
3. Thundercracker just looks awesome
4. In the game, he is quite witty ex: from WfC Chapter 2 Thundercracker:Your afraid,Skywarp!
Skywarp:Well, at least Im not ugly!
Thundercracker: UGLY?! YOU AND I LOOK THE SAME!!

It's an easy decision to choose Jetfire to be named the considering vote. Jetfire has been on Cybertron making experiments for the good of his people unlike that mad scientist Shockwave, for a very long time. Jetfire has seen the wrong in the Decepticons' ways. So why not join the Autobots? Jetfire's alt mode is also very unique. Reminiscent of his G1 self, yet adding a new school touch to it. His Jet form can instantly remind G1 fans that it looks like the "V1-Valkyrie" his old form was based off of. His Robot mode is also very eye pleasing. Having his jet engines form his legs giving him the ability to hover, his pearly white dome-shaped head, and the wings on his back. And c'mon, he sports an Australian accent. that should be enough said. He'd be an excellent addition to the Autobot's that already have toys considering none of them can fly

Upon hearing the announcement of a brand new transformer video game being released on several of this current generations home and hand held consoles, we couldn't help but ask "Will there be a toy line to follow?”. Unfortunately, Hasbro decided to select only a small handful to be produced under the current and new generations transformers line. Currently Optimus Prime and bumblebee are in retail stores now. Soon to follow are Megatron, Soundwave, and Cliffjumper; who do I think should deserve a figure in the generations toy line? I think Autobot Jazz deserves a figure for the following three reasons. The classics line has yet to release a revision of jazz, like soundwave; Jazz from the original G1 ark is second in command to Optimus Prime, and being the autobot who before the “war for cybertron” was a true and trusted friend to Orion Pax (aka Optimus prime). I have gone from watching, reading, and playing with transformers for as long as I can remember. Jazz was the one of the ones we can remember almost every single time we think of transformers and the Autobot team. He was destroyed too early in the movie so in conclusion being made into a toy for the generations toy line would bring great honour to this autobot we call Jazz.

Why do you Starscream made it into more series than any other seeker, as well as we loving him? There has to be at least one character in the entire franchise to be arrogant, treacherous, etc.

I don't know if I've just been blind and have missed you gys posting it somewhere, but have you decided on a closing date for this competition yet?

Anyways, I still say Shockwave. Pure awesome, now in jet form.

Well at least Thundercracker isn't a Traitor.
His Armada version is cool though.

Know any other traitorous, arrogant, and treacherous Decepticons that made more betrayals than any others? If you can name at least 5, then I'll agree on Thundercracker.

I had another think and the other character Id like to see would have to be Warpath and theres why:-

Walking field artilary is always useful, he is his own easily lost acessories.
Ard as nails.
Relatively underused and undersized character,always been a basic when in reality he would dwarf the other robots.
Pow zow wham bam
Armour plates make for a nice bit of bulk for ya buck.
Third times the charm
Has the best alt mode of all the tanks in WFC.

the character has had worse treatment than most of the other mini Autobots, Hell even Bumblejumper gets more characterisation than Warparth and he aint even a proper Transformer, just a factory mistake.

This zanny whacky and slightly deranged Autobot is only one deserving of a new figure.
