The Energon Pub

I personally want to see Takara Tomy do a reissue Optimal optimus with clearish orb with lightning in the middle symbolizing Optimus prime's captured Spark that can fit into Optimal optimus' cockpit, and a retooled TM2 Megatron, with a proportionate arm, and dragon neck kinks fixed, complete with a Golden disc!!!

Also a Lio Convoy, and reissue and color accurate depthcharge!!!

What do you want to see added in??

any character that head a real "menacing" toy head that wasn't
very "menacing" in the show.

also tigerhawk, just 'cause

Depth Charge. Tigerhawk. Transmetal Tigatron. Airazor.

all the ones u said would be cool, i would also like to see rampage, and even if he wasnt in the show TM2 cybershark, i dont like the legs and lower body, also the fact he cant be straight in his shark mode, looks like is just capbale of swimming in circles, lol

EDIT: Whoops.

All I want is that damn Drancron we were expecting from the TakaraTomy line. Killer Punch wouldn't hurt, bastard's too expensive for his own honry good.

None they all blow I would rather see takara/tomy do some hard to find headmaster,targetmaster and powermaster figures.

True, I too think the 10th anniversary stuff would be odd to continue under that banner if it were only the first series characters, that's why they should go to the Transmetals side, it would still be a 10th anniversary because technically Transmetals was a year later.. so they can still run it...on that technicality!!! WHOOO HOO!!!!


Bring on the retooled and paint application animation accurate reissues!!!!

ooooh boy, my favorite thread!

lemme see...where to start, hmmm....

okay. first off, I WANT hasbLO to make a remold (since everyone thinks that the original mold got lost/destroyed/etc) of the original basic-sized Rattrap, painted-show accurate, just to spite all those greedy sellers who sell this beaut at $100-up for a MOSC toy. basic toys shouldn't be this darn expensive!!!!

second, make a hasbro-release takara X-9 Ravage, ALSO to spite all those greedos who sell him for not less than $150 per MISB, with painted decals instead of stickers...beatiful, beautiful fig, ruined by the dang Takara-exclusivity thing...

third, all those wonderful beast wars BotCon exclusives that we international collectors never had the slightest chance of owning (aside from spending bucketloads of cash on eBay), especially the TM tigatron. w00t!!!

oh, and maybe all the TransMetals lineup should be reissued, and this time hasBLO should find a way to keep the vacmetal finish from easily chipping off and ruining these otherwise beautiful, detailed figs.

whew. did i miss anything?

I'd love a re-issue Optimal Optimus or Primal Prime.

Transmetals Cheetor. and Magnaboss, in a darker color scheme.

Rattrap please.

er...

now.

I think you covered a good portion of what some of us are feeling, and yeah X-9 Ravage is Da ****!!!!! Man I want him reissued!!!!

I just want to get the 10th anniversary line without spending bucket loads on Ebay & shipping...

Other than that I'd like to see Rampage, the transmetals & transmetal 2s cause I missed most of those lines, and of course the Inferno & B'boom they did in the first year. Those were two awesome figs, & my damned childhood destroyed them both. Now Inferno's all loose with his head broken off & glued back on, & B'booms body won't attach to the legs 'cause of a broken tab. Stupid Bloody childhood....

I would like quickstrike, 'cause he rocks and is hard to find, others I'd like to see are transmetal tarantulas and original megatron.
"Ooh!Ooh! Please say we's gonna slag em' first!"

I really like all the ideas mentioned so far!

However, I would like to add that I would love to see some Beast Wars Neo figures released in the States(and elsewhere). I really like some of the molds, but at the moment most of them are too expensive for me, especially with shipping.

there are some beast wars Neo figures in the current reissue line up, like corada, Bolfang, and Gimlet...I think those are pretty cool.. But they need a Lioconvoy, Big Convoy, and the other villainous crews.. i for one would love to see a Reworked Magmatron!!! They could do a 2 Pack like the reborn Optimus Primal and Megatron giftset released.. that would be cool.. but yeah.... Rattrap needs to be reissued..

a Magmatron/Big Convoy 2-pack would ROCKSORZ hard, especially if it's released with cheaper-than-takara Hasbro pricing. heh heh. note to Hasbro: JUST DON'T MESS WITH THE PAINT JOB, AIGHT?

QFT...

You know, the title of the thread simply says 'Reissue line'.

It does not say 'Beast Wars Reissue Line'.

So in essence, his opinion that he would rather see rare G1 figures in the 'Reissue' line as opposed to BW releases, is actually appropriate as opinions go.

(Hey, I can build-up in addition to tearing-down )

Its funny, everytime there is a thread dedicated to beast wars, there is always one or two posts saying "BW sucks, I hate it, etc etc"

BW rescued TF from death, and if people who hate beast wars actually watched more than one episode, and saw how wonderfully cartoon accurate many of the molds were, perhaps they would change their outlook.

pretty sure the thread title is "What Previously released Beast Wars Toy do you want to make it into the Reissue line?"

But it doesn't say "What Previously released Beast Wars Toy do you want to make it into the BEAST WARS Reissue Line?"

I guess, technically you are right, but I think after the first few posts the direction of the thread was clear. Whatever, not worth a debate. I just find it funny that someone always jumps in on BW threads to say "BW SUCKS G1 RULES"

I just think people should remember BW saved TF's ass.

And afterall, isn't that what's really important?

I know...I'm still staring at Longrack on BBTS. I should probably just go ahead and get him, but apparently I'd rather wait until he's out of stock.
