I'd like to see Runabout and Runamuck as counterparts to Mudflap and Skids, as well as Wheeljack and Hot Rod. (And MAYBE Kup, if they can do him right )

Well...

Dinobots (Six-pack, with Paddles)
Wheeljack
Cliffjumper
Springer
Vector Prime
Alpha Trion
Sky-Linx
Metroplex, maybe

Lugnut
D-Con triple changers: Blitzwing, Astrotrain, Octaine
Trypticon
Cyclonus
Stunticons

I know I won't be getting them, I just would like...

Well, there goes every conceivable other reply...

I'm a huge fan of Skywarp, so him,as long as he doesn't look as Stupid as Starscream.
And I'd like to see their interpretations of Thrust and Ramjet as well, especially regarding their behaviour.Specifically, I want a Michael Bay film interpretation, because I know what I'll see will be an interesting concept for my head to experience.(This DOES assume his Thrust has a thruster and Ramjet rams Jets, of course).

I've already declared elsewhere recently that I'd like Bluestreak and those sharing his look (the Movie Bumblebee look, basically) to be visible in the films.Some of this has to do with my preferences, and some with my beliefs regarding what new viewers should be presented about old TF traditions (and the killing of a front line TF to polish up a second line one).It's my personal view, but it's a strong one.

I'd very much have enjoyed watching the following arrive with the original crew in TF1, primarily because I believe that folks who never stopped to investigate TFs before the films would have appreciated their Functions and so on:
*Trailbreaker(Techincally, He's kinda already there 'to see', but a more sober version of Ironhides character,maybe slightly more old fashioned in the weapons department,with a visor...together with Ironhide...I'd have liked it a lot).
*Skids (the actual theoretician-would have been indispensable to Prime in the first films plot if desired).
*Hoist (not useful to the plot at all considering the nature of the quest vs. his function.He's more or less present in the final fight,tho).
*Red Alert,(would stay with the team for all of 2 minutes, then start setting up a preliminary base somewhere, and get left behind as events moved to Hoover dam and then eventually to Egypt.I'd very much have wanted new people to have heard his Motto spoken).
*Smokescreen,(Personally, I don't want to see Combat specialists (not including Ironhide, who is a logical first choice if the strike team is going to be small and advice is needed on which Human weapons will do what) unless there are plenty of decent soldiers around first because it's just too 'Hollywood Directors all do it' for my tastes, but I think cinemagoers-young Mums,little kids,folks who bother with Vanne Dam/Bruce Lee style cinematology (the visible hero school of thought) & kiddies who got raised on newer toys (Ninja Turdles,Power Rangers,Digi,Yugioh, Gormiti & such- would have had a LOT to gain from just hearing the concept 'Diversionary Tactician' spoken out loud (By Prime during the introduction sequence, if nowhere else).
*Prowl.I understand the impact of seeing Barricade when smugly waiting for Prowl to debut.No matter how much we all argue here, the sheer horror of the painstakingly slow realisation that Prowl "'aint comin t' save ya fleshy butts from Barricade", we all lived it together, or so I imagine.Still, I would have appreciated him for ALL his glory.Only plotwise,by just stating things in mid combat,it could have allowed for some fights (Egypt comes to mind) to happen in a more complicated sequence because Prowl could just explain events to the audience whilst reporting to Prime.("More Decepticons are coming in-don't let them meet up with Devastator or they'll merge/Megatron is running away/Ratchet, hold Jolt back and wait for my signal, the rest of you cover the boy whilst he gets the Matrix to Optimus" and so on).
*Sunstreaker.I took it for granted when I learnt about Sideswipe,tho now I enjoy the idea that I'll get to see a reunion later (maybe), under a more respectful director (maybe).
(Secondly Mirage,Hound,Bluestreak,CJumper, Windcharger).

Today, I prefer characters I didn't know to be imported.I consider the Blue Wrecker a could-have-been-Mirage and the Green one a coulda-been-Smokescreen,but I'd rather they stay Wreckers because I get something new to investigate from the beginning without the whole "WHEELJACK ISN'T A NINJA" scenario going on, and I don't have to put up with the way beloved Autobots are killed and once beloved Deceps are regurgita...uh... ressurected.

I would love to see Dinobot from Beast Wars. He is epic. End of story.

Grimlock. Omission of his character is one of the things that makes Bayverse inferior. What a glaring oversight by Bay, the writers and the producers. Whoever's mostly responsible.

In case you haven't noticed, Bay hasn't done very well in the area of beast transformers (see Scorponok.)

What was wrong with Scorpio? He was cool, he just got too little screen time.

I thought Scorponok was pretty good in his scorpion mode. No robot mode, though, which kind of sucked.

Ultra freaking Magnus.

Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod, Bulkhead, Prowl, Warpath, Grimlock, Waspinator, and Rhinox.

hmmm astrotrain and skywarp would be cool, mostly because i would like to see the toys...

but i would love to see kickback and squeezeplay as they were always my favorite tf toys (aside from ravage) as a kid...

other than that more gestalts... the terracons and seacons would be frikken hilarious... and awesome, and i would buy them...

on another note my tf movie dreamlist was megs, soundwave, shockwave and ravage... so im pretty good!

There's already a Skywarp toy, he was a Wal-mart exlcusive repaint of the first movie voyager Starscream mold.

i was meaning his own mold... more importantly, a good one without gimp-o missile fingers... be nice to see the seekers in the film though...

Definatly Grimlock,it seems like everyone wants him bayformed

Predacons and the Combaticons.

I really don't think Grimlock is such a good idea, because Bay's last attempt at a beastformer (Scorponok) sucked.

Rumble!

and a Gestalt or two again.

Though blashphemous to the sacred name of Grimlock, he wouldn't have to be a T-Rex. Wasn't he a tank of some kind in a couple comic appearances?

More importantly, we need Lugnut. The GRAND AND GLORIOUS Megatron needs his fanboy. Having Lugnut would give Bay an excuse to abuse the P.O.K.E as well.

Grimlock who isn't a T-Rex...
Sorry, but that ain't my Grimlock. "ME GRIMLOCK DINOBOT!!!"

No argument there. But he should be a Bomber. Not a B-2, though, something like the B- flying fortresses were. But it would also be cool if he was even a A-10 Thunderbolt.
