You never know if Hasbro is looking at these boards. But even if they aren't I am curious as to what you guys want next in the GHUG line.

The rules so far seem to be that they will redo characters if they are from a different fiction or a different scale or functionality (this Voyager Silverbolt can combine, for instance, and this powerglide is now a legion class). But for the most part, it's always more fun to think of new characters that were not released in any of the CHUG lines.

You might laugh at me, but one character that was never given a decent toy, to me, was Beast Machines Silverbolt. It's an interesting design and it would be really cool to see what they could do with it now. So, I would love to see a Generations Beast Machines Silverbolt. A Voyager Beast Wars Donobot too, but that's more for the toy you know hasbro will never make thread.

Generations Sky-Lynx is what I keep waiting on. Not the Prime Beast Hunter one the G1 most stupendously talented, most skillful and daring Autobot of them all. Even though his G1 figure still looks decent among new generations figures.

Stalker.

No further discussion is necessary.

IDW MTMTE Rodimus. The original classics is super dated and as nice as the Cloud version looks it's just Springer in Player 2 Hot Rod colours. He could probably also be redecoed into Getaway.

Mon Dec 22, 2014 9:49 am

Leader Class Galvatron (Anime & Marvel renditions)

Mon Dec 22, 2014 9:52 am

Misfire. That is all.

Mon Dec 22, 2014 9:54 am

Trypticon (there was that legends repaint, but come on)

Mon Dec 22, 2014 10:02 am

A Titan Class Trypticon is at the top of my list along with Omega Supreme.

Notable others include:

Ultra Magnus
Outback
IDW Styled Rodimus
Chase
Horribull
Six Shot
Battle Trap and Fly Wheels

If they're willing to go with a Titan Class, how about a proper-sized Scorponok to go with the reissue of Fort Max?

News Credits: 14 · Mon Dec 22, 2014 11:49 am

Theres plenty of character form the cartoon seasons who need a figure or update, so lets start with...

Omega Supreme (Leader Class)
Sky Lynx (Ultra Class)
Highbrow (Voyager Class)
Sureshot (Deluxe Class)
Pointblank (Deluxe Class)

Constructicons (Deluxe Class limbs/Voyager Class torso)
Terrorcons (Deluxe Class limbs/Voyager Class torso)
Predacons (Deluxe Class limbs/Voyager Class torso)
Misfire (Voyager Class)
Megatron (Voyager Class)
Galvatron (Voyager Class)
Apeface (Deluxe Class)
Slugslinger (Voyager Class)
Snapdragon (Deluxe Class)
Triggerhappy (Voyager Class)

Then I will be happy!

All great. Except with the new Generations Titan class, I would rather have Omega Supreme be that size. The only one of those that has an actual GHUG release for the class you mention is Megatron.

Here is his updated G1 self (which is what this particular line is all about) in Voyager scale:

So I dont think we'll get another one like this. Try to get it for your classics collection if you can.

Thanks. Thats what I was looking for.

Back on topic...
Brawn and Outback
IDW style Ironhide and Ratchet.
and maybe an Overlord.

I second the call for a new Brawn (and Outback) figure in the new "Legends" scale. With that, and a Legends Seaspray, we'd have all of the G1 first and second season minibots at about the correct scale to the deluxe and voyager Classics figures. Believe it or not, the correct scale for Bumblebee (and Cliffjumper) is the Universe/Henkei Legends releases from a few years ago (the smaller ones). Interestingly enough, according to the scale guides I have, Beachcomber is also no bigger than Bumblebee, so he doesn't need a new "Legends" figure so badly. The Universe/Henkei one does the job just fine.

As for all the people clamoring for a new Omega Supreme, might I suggest the "Year of the Snake" Platinum Edition Omega Supreme? It's basically Classics Omega Supreme (even if certain people are sticklers for putting him squarely in the "aligned" continuity family). He's also of the "supreme" size class and scales VERY well with the rest of the Classics figures, smaller than Metroplex, but bigger than most combiners.

I am hoping we might get an update on Nerf Gun Megatron, he is ok, especially in those colours, but hoping to see a new Voyager after the Leader version gets a release?
Can you believe I still do not have a 'Classics' Megatron represented in my display! :shock:

I did have Nerf Megs in his purple/white/green deco but I used that for a random custom Autobot character I created!

Guess I could try and pick up that Cloud Megatron if he gets a KO!

Gorgeous list!!!!!!!! It wouldnt require much to do a better Inferno, mabe a few better joints and a working mechanism in the bacl. Asides from that, the mold was pretty good originally.
