In lieu of Takara Tomy's upcoming Transformers Movie reissues to celebrate 10 years of the Transformers Movie live action film franchise, it really got the wheels turning in my head. As a fan of the movie toys, there are a few holes in my collection that Hasbro or Takara Tomy never fulfilled. So I thought it'd be interesting to see which figures some of you think need new decoes or even better yet (in my little fantasy world) all-new brand new figures.
Maybe this time around they get a proper paint job or a premium deco? Or imagine if they're more-or-less to scale (say it with me everyone -- big ass Dinobots!!!!)? Maybe it's a character that didn't get a proper toy (i.e. Dino/Mirage) or didn't get a proper figure altogether outside of a 1-Step (i.e. Stinger)? Or maybe scale was a thing to you so you wanted a Leader Class Bonecrusher to reenact the scene where Optimus Prime rips his head off. Or maybe Movie 1 Megatron or ROTF Megatron needs to be remolded or given a new figure to better take on the absolutely amazing ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime. Or even better yet ... how about a proper triplechanger Drift?
With all of that said, I thought it'd be interesting to have a discussion with some of you about this. Toss your ideas out here. If you're not into the movies, please sit this one out. Just looking for people who like the movie toys and feel like they didn't get something they really wanted from the movie toy lines over the past decade.
Without further ado, please share your ideas in our on-going discussion on our forums!

Leader Shockwave
Leader Blackout/Grindor
Voyager Scrapper
The list goes on and on and on....

That said, I'd love for him to get his own mold, as a Ferarri.
Elita-1 as the third bike sister as her MV Agusta bike mode, not just a repaint of Chromia.
Voyager Scrapper
Brains as a laptop.....if they can do Xiaomi Soundwave as a tablet why not Brains as a laptop? In proper scale, of course.
Drift as a triple-changer
Deluxe Stinger as his proper Pagani Huayra altmode

And a better version of RotF Devestator with triplechanging components (vehicle, robot and combiner mode).

Even though I know people are not fans of these two, but I have always wished for a Voyager Class version of the Mudflap/Skids Ice Cream Truck, I find the Deluxe version to be too small. And lets face it, it is their coolest looking mode.
Another one would be Wheelie in Voyager Class size, my reason is it would be the closet thing to being real life size, perhaps a Leader Class would be closer, but I doubt they would ever make him a Leader Class. Also I always felt like with the Ice Cream Brothers, that Deluxe Wheelie was lacking in design.
Talking about the little guys in the movies, I have always wondered why Brains never received a figure, even if it was a small non-transforming one included with one of the Human Alliance figures. Sure I like Steeljaw , and I understand he was in concept art for DOTM, but I wish that Leadfoot (or one of the others) came with Brains instead.
I have also always wanted a Human Alliance version of Bumblebee's 1976 Chevrolet Camaro mode/version. I love this vehicle mode, and it would've gone good with Barricade .
One of my favorite Cons was Frenzy , and I always wanted like a Legend Class version of him.
I do agree that Bonecrusher definitely deserves a Leader Class figure, or should I say we deserve one to be made. I love his Deluxe, but like I have mentioned above with the others, it lacks in so many ways too. And yes a DOTM Leader Class Megatron would be AWESOME!!!!

Shockwave from Transformers: The Game for the first movie. He was a triple changer that turned into a helicopter and then flipped over to become an artillery canon. Would have been a super cool figure in Voyager class, but instead we just got a bunch of camera-headed drones from the game.

Did you ever look into Cloud Shockwave? He changes into a helicopter.

I have to admit because this is a mix of partial lack of knowledge, and partly becauase of not caring for the movie line...but, was there ever a true Optimus/Jetfire combiner toy based on ROTF? I remember many variants of each, and looking for a combiner mode one, and don't recall ever seeing one, but I would have thought it would be an obvious selling point.

An updated voyager ratchet mold (the one throughout the trilogy toy line is too bulky and tall. Ratchet in the movies is really on bulky in the shoulders ad feet. )
Leader class Blackout/Grindor (didn't matter to me which version since when I think of their "characters" i think of the tie in-games anyway.)
Leader class The Fallen (the main antagonist of the second film never got a leader class figure despite being a perfect candidate.)
Voyager class Dreads (Crankcase, Crowbar, Hatchet: I still find it baffling that ONLY Crankcase got a figure above the legion class figures. )
Voyager Scrapper (with how often you see his model in the console games for ROTF and how he's one of the contructicons, I don't see why he wouldn't get a figure to begin with.)
leader class DOTM Megatron (We had a Megatron with an updated new look and the potential to be a great leader figure but Hasbro didn't capitalize)
deluxe class Mirage/Dino (Again, do I need to say it.)
leader class Shockwave (Another big bad deserving of the leader class treatment)
deluxe class movie accurate Roadbuster (I honestly don't know why the Wreckers all had at least one member in each class size in normal vehicle form. )
legends class Arcee, Chromia, Elita 1 (while we got "Arcee" in a singles pack, we never got the other two even though at one point we were supposed along with a battle damaged Sideways.)
leader class Dinobots (most likely the ones on this list that wouldn't get made.)
leader class Bonecrusher (really needed to be bigger for reenactment purposes)

Thanks for the link to the gallery. ...As far as combinations go, is this considered a well designed toy? Or is this kind of a big piece o' junk like ROTF Devastator? I just don't want to go after something that I'll regret later.

I mean, it is sort of impressive, but you lose all leg movement with the combination. Fan moding it really helps make it look a bit more accurate or cool, and I do like it and own it, so I'd recommend it

- Redesigned '76 Camaro Bumblebee (deluxe)
-Leader Blackout
- Deluxe Stinger that actually turns into a Huayra
- A human alliance line for AOE. Lockdown with Savoy, Bumblebee with Shane or Tessa, and a large scale Optimus with Cade
-Matter of fact, just make human alliance figures for everyone. Ironhide could be great, and I would be interested to see what a human alliance starscream would look like.

Also, Deluxe/Voyager versions of Hightower, Scrapper and the other one.

Indeed, Devcon from DOTM!!:
The wiki says he transforms into a Russian Missile Truck, but we never saw that. I'm also slightly surprised I didn't notice anyone else suggesting him, but he was almost always seen halfway off-screen in the background...
Hmm, well how about proper Legion Class Dinobots? The whole major DOTM cast would be swell too, but robot dinosaurs are awesome by default so they take priority in my mind.
Speaking of which, how about an accessory/replacement arm pack that fixes the durn "gorilla arms" that most of them have? With current QC it wouldn't be hard to replace the parts.
And finally, two other guys from DOTM:
Oreo-bot since he's kind of the Autobot answer to Dispensor.
As well as...Two-Head (hmm, fitting enough name, but did Waspinator write that entry?). It has two heads and looks like Shockwave, how could they not have made it?

Huh, never knew that guy's name was Devcon! I remember the wreckers taking him down in DOTM right before Bee NFL tackles the control pillar, but I never knew he had a name!

I actually almost bought one last month, he was in a super cheap bundle with Hellwarp on e-Hobby for about $40. He is still available at $25, maybe I should get one...

3. That unnamed garbage truck in dotm
I'll keep dreaming.
Posted by Spider5800 on October 15th, 2016 @ 3:26am CDT
The fact that they never released deluxe Leadfoot in the US is downright criminal. It drives the completionist in me MAD to only have two of the Wreckers. I avoided the Japanese release because I was certain it would come out here eventually and didn't want to spend $40 on a freaking deluxe. Now that sucker's going for hundreds
Voyager or leader Bonecrusher would be my next most wanted. The deluxe is both a terrible toy AND way out of scale.
And finally, leader Blackout, as others have said, would be awesome.
Posted by Optimusprime809 on October 15th, 2016 @ 2:18pm CDT
Voyager figures of all the Constructicons
Human Alliance Lockdown
Mirage as a Ferrari 458
Deluxe Dreads, that used the same alt modes as their Cyberverse counterparts
Cyberverse Age of Extinction figures were something I REALLY wanted
Leader Shockwave from Transformers The Game
A better Sideways that was a licensed Audi R8
Human Alliance Crosshairs
And I can't think of any more at the moment, but I'm sure there are a lot more
