Someone in passing mentioned TFs based of Warhammer 40k vehicles. That would kick so much ass! Just the Imperial Guard / Space Marine vehicles would be killer, let alone something like a Transforming Falcon Grav Tank or Hammerhead.

They're doing Star Wars Transformers... how about Star Trekformers!? *ducks*

as much as i like the idea, there are only a handful of designs that actually lend themselves to transformers!
i somehow doubt any of the enterprise models (except maybe the one from 'enterprise' would actually work as tramsformers!

You mean the..ahem..

The Puma or the Chupathingy. =P

I agree with some previous poster(s) the General Lee as a future alt line if it's ever brought back, I'd love to see a Chevelle SS series, and the 1950-59 Ford T-bird.

Maybe not the Enterprise itself (except maybe NX-01 like you said), but the Defiant from DS9 could work quite well, I think (Mirage, perhaps?), I think a Romulan Warbird may work, and the seekers would be cool as Birds of Prey.

I'd love to see a double or even triple decker British tour bus as a transformer. :grin:

I would like to see a Transformer take on the form of the F/A-37 Talon from the movie Stealth (movie sucked balls but the jets were cool.).

Or the jets from Raiden Fighters Jet. I loved this game and they could make some awesome Transformers, especially the Ixion (the jet to the right of the Aegis IV). One of the power ups included 2 mini jets that added more firepower, and those could be used for the Transformers like the Funnels from Gundam.

A Cadillac hearse. Decepticon, of course. :lol:

I would like to see..

Sno-cone: the Ice cream truck
Stench: the Garbage truck
Deere: the Tractor
Cruiser: the Moped
and
Lugg: the Airport Baggage mover.

Remember Salt Shaker, the Autobot pretzel cart? It was a really old flash movie.

Some classic car Transformers would be really nice.

If only Hasbro could get the licsence, I'd like to see some Halo Transformers. But only if they can do it better than they did SWTF. No stupid semi-human robots.

Ark and Nemesis

'nuff said

News Credits: 1 · by **T-Macksimus** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 11:53 pm

I agree with the folks who have chimed in about the Ark and Nemesis. I would also like to have seen a 5th wheel trailer done up for the Dodge Ram Alternator Prime. Roller would be a stretch for it due to the size relation, but having it split like the G1 Prime Trailer would be cool.
But,as I told one of the Hasbro Reps when I spoke with her at a local Target on the day the movie toys were released, my idea of a "Classics" line would have been classic era cars and trucks. Prime as a candy apple red '47 Ford Pick-up or Mirage as a Blue 64 1/2 Mustang. Ironhide & Ratchet as red and white 57 Chevs. respectively. Wheeljack as an old 'Cuda or Charger would seriously kick some tailgate.
As soon as I saw the first pic of Movie Bumblebee I knew I had to have it, not because of the Movie but because it was the first TF with what I considered a truly accurate vehicle design that just happened to be from my generation. (G1 toys were really darn close but not 100%. Cybertron Downshift was the next best thing for me until Movie BB.

As for the General Lee & Grave Digger monster truck suggestions, check out ReproLabels.com, look in the Classics line and check out their solution for the mini-cons in the classics series. I almost got a set of the stickers for my mini-cons. If the toys were Deluxe class, I would have done it, or if the stickers were bigger, my spare Downshift would now be Orange with an "01" on his door instead of Metalflake blue with white flames across the hood/fenders.

The uss enterprise would make a cool transformer.

Depends on which one you're talking about. There have been several Starships Enterprise over the course of Star Trek, and some of them wouldn't look so great as transforming mechs, IMO. After the Enterprise-B, you start getting into those five-times-bigger-than-the-rest-of-the-ship saucer sections that just stink of 'shellformer'.

Pretty cool concept, love the character ideas for repaint, along with the bios and background story as well!

Obviously KITT from Knight Rider would be awesome, although I wouldn't want to see a face on him, so maybe an unusual Roadbuster-type head. Airwolf, Stingray and the Thunderbirds, the Mystery Machine (Scooby Doo) and...well, all of Wacky Races.

I would have his head be like Alternator Meister/Jazz's head, with a red visor instead of blue.
