I think Megasharktitron is more of a crazy oneshot/offshoot kinda thing and should be grouped with similarly unique things.
But he is one dope retool and makes that mold way more interesting. I do find that some of the fins and unique mold limits posablity.
I'm sure someone could come up with a ton of great retools. Some of the CW stuff comes to mind immediately. As does some of the Prime retools, like Chromia. She is actually a great retool. You can barely see Arcee in there.
The PRID UM is better and the PRID Prime mold. Not much changed, but those shoulder pauldrons...
There is always Gen Sandstorm. That's All I got for now
Haha, my number 1 on that list is sandstorm, and Ultra Magnus is there too, but I tie him with his cyberverse version which is also a retool from prime. The reason I really want to showcase this megatron is because of all the wor that went into him and how it fixes a lot of the alt mode. The kibble is no longer extraneous and everything adds to it. Either giving it a tail or addig to its shape, and covering the robot head. Its really great how it actually makes you want to transform the figure now and gives it a decent althoug weird ass alt mode.
Chromia is a good one thanks!
As for CW, I dont think I will include any for a few reasons:
1. I dont think they are that good. None of the retools add anything the original didnt have. Its just a plane that is now a different plane or a car that is now a different car. None are too exciting and instead of it looking like a lot of work went into it, it feels more like the retool was done to avoid more work. In all the others we describe, they have extra transformation steps due to the new molding. But that doesnt happen with the CW deluxes. It only happens with Hotspot/Onslaought and I really dont find those molds that great.
2. I also dont think many of those are retools. Something is a retool when new tooling is added to an existing design, but for that an existing design must be established. There is no proof that air raid is a retool of skydive or vice versa. And Hasbro came out and said they were all planned simultaneously, so technically none of those are retools and nothing I could count on the list.
However, I if anyone asks, I will use the 1st reason rather than the second since rather than get technical its easier to simply say that I dont find any of those as great as the others.
