War For Cybertron PS3 DLC CONTEST - Which WFC Character Deserves a Figure?

Ok, IF Shockwave does not win for the decepticon side...

I have an Xbox 360 therefore i dont need this competion but i still want to see WFC Jazz as a Generations figure

Shockwave has long been a shady subject to avid Transformers enthusiasts. With only a handful of toys, his character is only best described through his rare appearances on the G1 television show and his appearances in the comics. Second in command to Megatron, this Military Operations Commander brutally plans any task to take down the Autobots, to greater suit his loyality to his leader. His characteristic voice, signature cannon arm and his cyclopean, one-eyed visage is easily recognizable to anyone.
In War for Cybertron, Shockwave is very reminiscent to his G1 self. His dark purple Decepticon representation fits perfectly. His alternate mode is a very gun-like jet, similar to his gun mode in G1. A new Shockwave figure would sell out on the market, as Shockwave toys are a thing of rarity. Selling to fans, collectors, and gamers alike; Shockwave would evilly command your collection of Generations and War for Cybertron figures.

The only logical choice for a figure is Shockwave. His awesomeness is logical. Hypothesis: Shockwave should become a toy released under the Generations line. Starscream: Illogical. Squishy human worm babies need his trigger crotch... OF LOGIC.

I must say Shockwave, simply because he is cool, iconic G1 and has few toys made of him.

If it should be an autobot so should it be Arcee of same reason.

It should be Air Raid, He is a lesser character but there are very few different Autobot flyers whose names have been reused. The repaint options are a generous amount too, like me most people figured out that he a good Springer repaint in the game along with one or two other Arialbots. I also believe that he would have the most complex and interesting transformation compared to the other candidates due to how his Cybertron jet mode folds in from the front to the back.

Shockwave for the Decepticon side and Jazz for the Autobots.

I'd like to see Slipstream, if for no other reason that all the other characters have toys already.

In addition, an awful lot of fans love Seekers and Animated, which is still fresh in our collective minds.

I can't think of any female G1 Decepticons apart from the Botcon chaarcter, Flamewar.

Failing that, I'd love to see Barricade whose WFC/G1 self has yet to get a toy. I think he's based more on the Movie version rather than the Micromaster. Despite the character blurb suggesting otherwise, the name Barricade is best associated with the Movie Decepticon police car. I know I'd love a G1/WFC version of said character, preferably as a Scout.

For the Bot - Ultra Magnus. That WFC UMagnus design is the best since the G1 era. This is another opportunity for something that is not a Prime repaint.

For the Con - Motormaster.

WHICH WFC character deserves a figure to be endorsed by the Hasbro name? Well, to be fair, they certainly all do, because of High Moon Studios' aesthetic devotion to the heart of the characters. Looking at this from a marketing angle, however, which character would A) appeal to fans more and not be a Mudflap pegwarmer, B) be included in the Generations line (of which Hasbro has stated that they are trying to revitalize characters into figures who have not had a figure in a long while representative of them), and C) seem a natural fit and a must have toy.

Every character on this list has had a figure come out from Hasbro lately or will have one soon except Air Raid and Scattorshot. Shockwave will obviously have a TF3 movie Leader-class figure, and Silverbolt will be in TF3 as well. Barricade and Brawl were represented well within the TF1 movie. Breakdown (Brakedown) was a good scout class recently. Ironhide, Jetfire, Ratchet, Warpath, Onslaught, and the Seekers all have been represented lately in the Classics line. And although I do agree with a previous poster that by making a Starscream toy, you could redeco it into Skywarp and Thundercracker, and that this would be a good marketing strategy, I hunger for something more and unique.

Slipstream is an interesting character but not iconic enough to warrant a toy, but then again, the new Drift toy proves that theory moot. Demolisher is obscure and non-G1, so I think the mojo would be lost on him. As much as I would love to see WFC Arcee made into a toy, as her design is great, her being an unlockable character only playable in online kind of dilutes her importance in the universe. Besides, her Animated mold is still selling well. Scattorshot is interesting in aesthetic design but still not easily recognizable. This finally brings me to my vote: Air Raid.

Now I remember that Air Raid was the name of a TF1 movie scout class jet, but that doesn't count. How often do we get gutsy, intelligent, self-sacrificing, and really cool-looking aerial autobot toys... from within genuine G1 continuity? I loved Air Raid's character in WFC and I think he would go great with the toyline. I abhor the decision to make Cliffjumper into a toy, even though it seems natural with the Bumblebee toy out. Cliffjumper wasn't even playable! When I have a toy from the movie or whatever, I want it to connect me back to those moments. A Cliffjumper WFC toy would in no way do that for PS3 players. Air Raid would remind us of the euphoric, jaw-dropping rush when we would hover or fly into an enemy zone, strafe and then rush to transform and bludgeon decepticons to slag. His color scheme, attitude, personality, and aesthetic design in both robot and alternate mode would definitely make Air Raid a must have for any fan of WFC and for anyone looking for a cool Transformers figure within the Generations line to boot.
