Speaking of which check this out

$%^&*!!!?? what?! how can people not like ransack? hes one of the best scouts out there and hes a biplane! a frikken biplane! sure he is weird, and i wasnt so keen on his weird head, but after breaking down and getting one, i now own 4 of the little buggers. 3 waiting for G1 seeker paintjobs. an almost kibble free alt mode, weird but strangly possable bot mode and a quirky transformation... what not to like?

but yeah i would love to see some old style vehicles, and i wouldnt say hasbro would never do steam age. remember the steampunk style is still quite in vogue...

I did cave in and also have Ransack... Now that I have him it's a fun transformer.

I still want some older cars Hubcap isn't enough... I've seem some amazing fan made art of things like Model T Fords and such.

This was pretty cool too. I think the video or it's description on youtube says it was someone's student project.

Yes. It was their student project for their course. Quite impressive. I wonder how long a project like that would take and what goes into the making of such a video.

I personally would love to see more old fashion cars as transformers but as scouts
don't get me wrong having them as deluxes would be great but I'm not sure they would sell well

Yea, that's probably one of the factors that's stopping them. But as a consumer I don't really care what sells, I just want what I want, haha.

These are beautiful. I really like the Packard Victoria. Great color too.

I'm still hoping for some steam punk style locomotives and stuff from that era. But that's just a style that I'm personally very fond of.

I want a Kup figure with this alt mode

I think it would be awesome.

Always felt that a Jaguar 'E' type coupe would make an awesome alt' mode for a TF, if done properly.
