No, we will not be having a direct say to HASBRO. This is simply a contest for our forum members to try to win some free stuff. Sure they might look at it, but chances are, they already know which ones we want, and they already know what they have planned next.

No, we do not need PSN account numbers until we choose the winners. When we contact them, it will be up to the winner to use the said code awarded.

I was trying to make a point.

Do any of the people who entered here even own a PS3? I've only ever seen two people who said they had a PSN that I can remember. They could easily be typing a paragraph just to say why their character is best.

And besides, if I'm wrong, at least five people have made more valid points than I ever could. So what's the point?

Defeatist attitude much? We said the best five, not the first five. Bust it out, you never know what will happen.

I believe it is up to the posters to know if the have a PSN online capability, and/or account. If they don't they should disclaimer as some already have, but feel free to throw in their two cents.

i would like an Slipstream or Arcee,because they must have some love,since we dont know when we will have Spltstream(or Arcee)again.

I'm not PS3 owner but I'd love to get figures for Slipstream, Arcee and Warpath. I play Conquest mode on the 360 and really enjoy the art and animations for them. It never hurts to voice your opinion. Hasbro is listening despite what you might think.

by **Primus_feather** » Sat Jul 31, 2010 7:11 pm

Slipstream!!! We've gotten a figure of EVERYONE else (in SOME fasion) so I think if we're never gonna see an Animated version of her, we might as well get a Cybertronian!

As a fan of Starscream, I feel I should pick him, and lobby for him to be chosen. As I would love to have another Starscream in my collection. However he is not the logical choice, as I have plenty of him, but few of another. Shockwave is much more deserving. And, so, here is a Haiku;
Glory to our side
Decepticons do not lose
Make a Shockwave toy.

I vote Slipstream, Starscream, and Shockwave for the 'Cons, and Jazz and Warpath (I don't like his character at all, but his design's very cool) for the Autobot side.

Slipstream for sure...has their ever been a evil Decepticon fembot toy?

I already have the DLC so good luck to who wins!

Three sentence paragraph, eh? Step aside, Autobots and Decepticons, the great philosopher Mindmaster has arrived! Here we go...

Well, since we already have 3 Autobots and 2 Decepticons, my vote has to be on a Decepticon, just to even out the odds. Which Decepticon? Either Skywarp, Starscream, or Thundercracker, mostly hoping on Starscream. With the exception of RID, Beast Wars, and... some other TF line I'd forgotten, there has been a Starscream/Seeker mold, so what the hell, continue the traditon, darn it! :lol:

tigertracks 24 wrote:Generations is at this point a deluxe class line. You want deluxe sized Trypticons, and Omegas????

Yeah, wouldn't bother me a bit. Scale has never been an issue in my collection. And honestly we haven't got a good Trypticon figure since G1(which is one of the shining figures of the line). So, even in deluxe scale Trypticon is a worthy character for a new mold in my opinion.

But that's just me.

PS quick reply option.....fantastic idea. :KREMZEEK:

I just want all the WFC figures to be made, so my vote or comment earlier is N/A too.

by **idaretobestupid** » Sat Jul 31, 2010 9:01 pm

shockwave

by **BlueStreak27** » Sat Jul 31, 2010 9:11 pm

If I had to pick a character from the list above I'd say Arcee (with Slipstream as a close second). If I were given a choice from the War For Cybertron game itself I would say Ultra Magnus. I would urge Hasbro to make all three. Come on Hasbro! Don't you like taking my money?

by **Grimlock64** » Sat Jul 31, 2010 9:49 pm

My choice was easy for me to decide: Slipstream. Why Slipstream? Well, for one, having more female Transformers made into toys is always cool. And second, Slipstream is the only character on that list who has NEVER had a toy in any way, shape, or form. And Animated being done and over with practically killed her chance for an Animated-Style toy (in America at least). So unless she gets the same treatment as Lugnut and Lockdown and gets shoved into the movie toyline some how, I feel WFC Slipstream is, at this moment, the best chance for her to be recreated in plastic for the first time.

If there's one thing that Hasbro has taught us, it's that they love to make redecos. Redecos are quite a profitable business strategy that has fans dishing out cash for multiple versions of the same figure, whether that figure be a new character identitcal to a previous one, or a new form of an existing character. With this in mind, there is really only one logical choice when picking one character from the above lists to get a toy form: A Seeker mold. In the list, there are four figures who bear this body type: Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Slipstream (even though, technically, she is referred to as a "Stalker" instead of a "Seeker"). Just one of these figures could produce at least three more figures (with some remolding needing to be done for Slipstream), with the possibilities of even more Seeker redecos/remolds (Sunstorm, Acid Storm, the Coneheads, etc.) being available from this mold's existence. That said, a Seeker mold would be the most ideal and profitable choice to be made.

The character that I believe needs a toy in the Generations toyline is Demolishor. Demolishor, in my opinion, was a great character (and one of my favourites) in Transformers Armada and I believe he could use a nice update in toy form. I also think he should get a toy because his design elements are superb and I think his transformation would work well for the Generations line. The details on his game model are very nice aswell, from the thought put into Demolishor's face design to the iconic blasters on his shoulders. All these details would look ecellent in toy form! One last reason I think he could work well as a toy is because the Generations line is primarily the deluxe class and the original Demolishor was a deluxe, so I think the scale and engineering for the figure would be perfect! Here's hoping he get's a toy!

I know there are plenty of Decepticons,like Shockwave,Starscream,and others who are worthy of having toy's made.This time I would have to vote against them,and say the one character who I believe is deserving of having the next toy or any toy is Slipstream.

Slipstream has become one of my all time favorite fembot's.

by **Nexus_Ray** » Sat Jul 31, 2010 10:40 pm

I would have to say Slipstream. While all the characters have their own sort of luster, she has a great design in robot and vehicle mode. Also, it would be great to see a few more Femmes, but Arcee's been done a few times. So I think Slipstream might make a good new addition to the line up of females from Cybertron. Of course, I don't really see this happening, seeing as she is a seeker. So Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp would be first and foremost, then the cone heads. Meaning that she'll probably never see the light of Toys R' Us' flickering florescent lights.

by **Wreckage42** » Sat Jul 31, 2010 10:58 pm

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.

Hi, this is my first post but it seems to be quite important. lol First, like so many other I already down loaded the character so I don't need to be in the contest. 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.

by **DarkJesterCyn** » Sun Aug 01, 2010 12:13 am

Of all the playable characters listed i would like to see Slipstream as a figure. First of all, she is a newer character and has never graced the shelves of your local transformers retailer and I am sure I am not the only one who would love to have one on my desk. Fembots are one of the smallest minorities in the transformers world, and a female seeker could easily spawn many clones of her own and work to swell their numbers a bit. Lastly, she is a beautiful representation of her animated self and if ROTF Lockdown proved anything, detail does make s difference and this could be an out of the park grand slam.

On a sidenote, is there anyway to poke hasbro in the ribs to actually get this done? Most people think this game deserves its own line and yea, picking Slipstream outa that list made my head hurt.

If there is any transformer in War for Cyebrtron, that deserves a figure, it is Starscream. Yes, Shockwave, maybe even Jazz would be nice, however, if you look a the characters already being released: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Soundwave, all have legacies that have immortalized them in the transformers franchise. The same is with Starscream, whose treachery, arrogance, and cunning brought him popularity back in the 1980's. Ever since, those same traits that made Starscream who he is have been embodied in numerous incarnations, making Starscream a frequently appearing character in every transformers animated series since Armada. There is no transformer in War for Cybetron that is more deserving than the Aerial Commander himself.

by **Gutter Bunny** » Sun Aug 01, 2010 1:09 am

To begin, let's consider the line as it is. We already have two Autobots, we are scheduled to get a third. That being said, if a new toy was to be designed, it should be a Decepticon. The obvious choices to me would be either Starscream or Shockwave, as they are both iconic figures. From a financial perspective, Starscream would be the logical choice due to the ability to repaint him into Skywarp and Thundercracker. This however, would create the inverse of the previous dilemma. That is, the cons would now outnumber the bots. That leaves us with Shockwave. He has not received a figure that justly represents him since G1. Action Master Shockwave was non transformable. Energon Shockblast requires kitbashing to even resemble an accurrate representation. Alt/BT Shockblast/laserwave was great, but very niche. Titanium Shockwave could have filled the void in classics, however he never made it into production...not sure that's a bad thing. Not to mention, everybody needs a little one eyed purple mon...err robot.

The natural counter-question is how did Hasbro ever pick Cliffjumper? Gamewise, he's a DS-exclusive digital redeco of Bumblebee and, although we've yet to see pics, that hardly bodes well for this otherwise exciting line. The starting point for picking the next WfC toy should therefore reverse-engineer this poor decision. In other words, the character should be both (1) a major player in the storyline and (2) require a new mold. To narrow it down further, there ought to be a third Decepticon against the three Autobots and, to make things even more specific, a flier would add more to the line than a sixth ground vehicle. That would be Starscream. Given his immense popularity with fans and the great in-game design, he should be the natural pick. Plus, if Hasbro really wants to populate this line with redecos, a Starscream mold can always lead to Thundercracker and Skywarp . . .

. . . or did "username: Shadowarp" just completely give away his ulterior motive?
