Didn't they just reissue that 5 years ago?
G1 Sixshot
Dear God please.
Universe 2.0 Hound & Ravage
I still have that at the K-Mart down the street. Just saying.
Classic/Henkei Optimus Prime
Didn't that mold evaporate yet?
G1 Metroplex
Again? Hopefully as Metrotitan this time...
Universe 2.0 Cyclonus
Again, I still have that at the K-Mart down the street. Just saying.
Cybertron/Galaxy Force Primus
I'm thinking unlikely. It's only 4 years old and it would need to come with Planet Keys. On the other hand, it might move better now with the War for Cybertron line.

Maybe I'll get Henkei Hound also, But is he really that much better than the Universe version?

Might as well fire up the molds if they're sitting around somewhere. It took a while for Predaking to sell out ... but once he did, his prices skyrocketed.
zodconvoy wrote:G1 Sixshot
Dear God please.
Sixshot was reissued in 2002.
I 100% agree. Bring on the e-Hobby Metrotitan. I have a spare Micromaster Skystalker I'd donate for them to remold into Metrotitan's Micromaster.

Henkei Hound is the best version of him ever, the universe Hound is poor by comparison.

It was one of the last near identical G1 reissues produced in the early 2000s by Takara Tomy. It came out around the same time as New Year Convoy.

i had to console myself when quickswitch came out (who was not half as cool as his daddy by the by)
predaking - i recall wanting him as a kid cos the advert was cool - might be too expensive and am not a big fan of animal formers (still want mp grimlock tho)
universe prime - i accidentally ordered the deluxe one thinkin it was this (ebaying when tired is not a good idea) so hopefully this version will be more affordable than what's out there
cyclonus and hound - i have the hasbro versions which are amongst the best classics ever. don't care much for the henkei chrome
metroplex - mmm might consider him - my original is very dirty and has lots of parts missing, my sister trampled on poor scamper back in 88 : (

my fourth most wanted transformer of all time?! HELLS YES!
Posted by Didicos on January 30th, 2010 @ 2:26pm CST
Oh yeah!

Would love to get a G1 Ultra Magnus and God Ginrai as I missed them the last time.
Put me down for Metrotitan and Greatshot as well.
Sixshot and Prowl got me into collecting the toys again a little over 7 years ago. Had never seen Sixshot before, just heard the name. Despite the packaging being in Japanese, I still had a pretty good idea who he was.
Got Predaking when he was last reissued. Have the white, red and orange KO as well and I have to say, the KO colour scheme is a lot cooler then the G1. Rampage's tiger mode looks great in white.

I'd like a Universe Cyclonus aswell, I waited to get the Henkei version and latter decided I wanted both but couldn't find the original.

SHINY, BOXED AND NEW BEATS OLD, INCOMPLETE AND LOOSE ANYDAY
Classic/Henkei Hound - was difficult to find as he sold out quite quickly in Japan. A really good figure, Henkie version all the way - chrome makes figures so much cooler.
Hybrid Style Galaxy Convoy - looks sweet but no thanks. I have Optimus in Encore G1, Masterpiece, Classics and movie versions already and that's more than enough for me.
Classic/Henkei Optimus Prime - disappointed as paid $50+ to get him late last year (didn't decide to buy him until way too late). Great figure though if you get the Henkei version
Classic/Henkei Cyclonus - got the Henkei one and going to get the universe one because it is without doubt the best figure in the whole classics line.
Cybertron/Galaxy Force Primus - hmmmm maybe.....
Hope these rumours are true!!

Ditto. Kinda curious what version of Cyclonus that is too. I've been wanting 3 of the Hasbro ones for the Henkei versions armada. They dried up here before I came to the conclusion I wanted them.

You could just go balls to the walls and get 7, one for each mode.
I'd be all about a new Predaking, I had one second hand minus the parts, I'd love a new one.
henkei Hound would be mine as well.
