Overlord would be awesome, even if "just" a voyager. Astrotrain would be sweet too, but already have the Asian Generations 3 pack version, so the character is already represented for me, ditto for Thunderwing (O can't see HasTak redoing this guy bigger any time soon)

Yeah, I have the Decepticon Specialist pack too. I really like them but, IMO, all 3 need to be Voyager sized. I don't have Thunderwing, he's on the list though, but because of him being a Deluxe size I'm not desperate. I'd be okay with a Voyager Overlord too, but he's just such a brute that he suits being Leader class. I have Hexatron so I'm not interested in a new Sixshot, but I'm sure there'd be demand for a Leader Sixshot too. The IDW Phase Sixers would be awesome as Leaders.

Fair warning about Thunderwing, he isn't a very complex transformer and you can see his entire body below the plane. It's worse than CW Silberbolt and Leader Jetfire.

OH NO!!!! WJ, you acquired Thunderwing on my advice. I'm sorry. Do you hate him?

You know who they need to do?

The Duocons.

And not cheap out with just some repaints. I want new molds complete with the Duocon gimmick. Honestly, all they need to do is articulate the vehicles, and they've pretty much done the gimmick with the mini-con combiners so it shouldn't be too much of a stretch for them.

i find myself questioning your voyagers... not the characters per say, but why voyager sized?

I like big bots, and I cannot lie!

No different to most deluxe jets, his torso is just a little more organic looking than robotic...

Leader sized phase sixers would be awesome though

granted this probably isnt what you had in mind, but botcon gigatron with the PE upgrade kit suits me well. i wasnt even planning on the upgrade until i had him in hand though. the botcon head is seriously derpy.

What would Generations Overload's alt mode be?

how about Star Saber and Victory Leo for combiner wars. Victory Leo can be like the other voyager torsos while Star Saber turns into Arms and Legs much like Energon Windsaber. this will make him able to combine bothe with Victory Leo and Optimus

Needs to happen! Honestly I hope a 3rd Party gets to him before has/tak just repaints a Prime and deems it Thunderclash.

Not that I actually mind the idea, but I do want to note that we no longer live in an era where they wouldnt do that.

hasbro or 3rd party? sorry I'm very blonde when it's early.

hmm as far as Phase Sixers scale go I always felt like this works for me.

Sixshot ultra/leader (mmc scale is a "tad" big for me but I'm gonna get it regardless.)
Overlord ultra/leader
Black Shadow voyager(My fav phase sixer plus I always felt like he was tiny compared to sixshot and overlord. Probably kills with more finesse and I like side switchers.)


p.s. I would also love a proper Octane

william-james88 wrote:What would Generations Overload's alt mode be?

Same as Ultra Magnus': a car carrier. Now, Overlord's alt mode would probably be a single tank. Not only does that part belong to Giga, his "male" side, more importantly, the tank's colors show up more in robot mode, and not the black of the jet despite the latter forming the torso.

The upgraded head looks awesome, but I'm not huge on the mould used. Granted, it's an exclusive and if I had him it would do. What scale is it?

william-james88 wrote:What would Generations Overload's alt mode be?

Since I'm a big IDW fan I'd love the idea of Leader sized Phase Sixers. Looking at the IDW version of him the jet would make an awesome Thunderwing too. They could feasibly get both out of the same mould. It does make me think that it could end up being another Blitzwing, but as it's a larger scale it could be a new mould.

There can't be too much Optimus Primes but if there be an updated Overlord, this seriously needs a "Godginrai" counter balance for this!

he's voyager.

I didnt know about Overlord's existence until this thread. At first I thought you guys meant armada overload who I dont care to ever see in the generations line. But I looked into Overlord and WOW, this is amazing. But I dont want a generations figure of him, I would much rather get a "platinum" reissue, especially since we never got him in north america.

Here's my short wish list

Legends,

1985 Kickback

More cassette bots like CHUG 1.0 Ravage was designed like. Want them to transform into rectangular cassettes, So they can fit inside MP Soundwaves and KFC Blaster's cassette holders.

Deluxes,

1996 Beast Wars Terrorsaur

Voyagers,

1985 G-1 Shockwave. With the 1985 robot and laser gun alt mode.

1986 Cyclonus and 1986 Scourge

tripple changer Astrotrain.

1987 Apeface and snapdragon that are triple changers with the headmasters feature.

1988 Quickswitch.

1996 Beast Wars Tigatron

Beast Wars Second Lio Convoy

Leader,

Rodimus Prime.

Galvatron. Either the 1986 G-1 Version or the newer 2015 IDW Galvatron comics arts designs.

Sixshot.

Titan,
Trypticon, Either the 1986 or WFC-FOC versions.

Chalk up another vote for this IDW Overlord art design to get put into toy form. My ideal size for this would be Ten to Eleven inch leader scale. With the tank and jet being Voyager-Ultra sized toys

Where'd you get this art design of IDW Overlord? Haven't bought IDW TF comics in years. Bought and read IDW LSOTW but never saw this beautiful IDW Overlord art design. Think it looks beautiful, breathe taking and would make a awesome toy if copied exactly from art to toy form.

Legends Class
Kickback
Skywarp
Shockwave (especially if we get a Bruticus in Combiner Wars)
Soundwave (w/ cassette!)
Pipes (bit of a long shot)


Deluxe Class
BW Terrorsaur
BW Tarantulas (unlikely, given his Club counterpart)
Misfire
DJD Vos
DJD Kaon
IDW style Rodimus
Nautica


Voyager Class
IDW style Galvatron
DJD Tarn
(Possibly Helex and Tesarus too, but I suspect they're much less popular than these three)


Leader
Overlord
Sixshot


Titan
Trypticon



My point, basically, is the world needs more Decepticons.

I just googled IDW Overlord and found it among the results. The art is from MTME I'd imagine as he appears there too. I agree it looks pretty good, that jet mode is awesome.

TITAN CLASS UNICRON!

That would be fun but with this one being released in 2010 under the same all encompassing "Transformers"line that had "classics" figures like the reveal the shield guys, I fear they are using that one as a stand in for a "classics unicron" the same way they are using the FOC redeco of Energon Omega Supreme as a stand in for "classics Omega Supreme", which makes me doubt we will see those two characters redone anytime soon. Metroplex was never updated with a new toy that had "classics" deco, and same with Devastator so I see how they are doing those guys first. One thing though, I do not need any update on Primus, I have the only version I will ever need.

well... there was that rumor about an MP unicron...

if we're talkin titan class, my vote goes towards trypticon

You and your french fry jokes. You're right. The Energon mold has always been the stand in on my shelves and works just fine.

shajaki wrote:if we're talkin titan class, my vote goes towards trypticon

Trypy was never one of my favorites. I think after having a T-rex that turns into a robot, I was disapointed that his robo mode was a just a T-rex. But, ya know, I would love to see some battle station/base/giant monster/Titan love for the s.
