do some G-1 TF toys need re-designs for newer homage toys?
to sell better for todays kids/time era.
No not drastic redesigns. just slight tweaks but trying to keep the essence of the robot & alt mode designs.
Examples below:
1- How about a leader sized MP/Generations tripple changer G-1 styled galvatron toy. A extremly accurate G-1 1986 Galvatron animation/toy robot mode. with a realistic tank mode. then a added 3rd mode where the tank transforms into a laser canon alt mode. similar to those BW TM1 vechicle modes. similar to BW 2ND Galvatron's tripple changer toy.
2- How about a leader sized MP/Generations G-1 styled season 1 & 2 Megatron robot mode that transforms into a realitic white+black tank. then transforms into a gun mode that looks similar to 1987 sixsht's gun mode or 1986 Galvatron's toy gun mode.
3- How about giving fort max,a actual vechicle alt mode. instead of the city mode turned backward & called a space ship alt mode like takara's headmasters called it.
How about giving fort max a space ship alt mode that looks similar to the star wars star destroyer. the toy can still transform into what look like the 1987 fort max robot mode. city mode & attach base mode. colors can be the same. it can still be a double headmaster.
4- How about giving 1986 Tripple changer broadside a battleship alt mode instead of a aircraft carrier alt mode. it can still be a tripple changer & transform from a military jet to a navy battle ship then into a robot mode. this way we don't get the jokes anymore that broadside transforms into his own aircraft carrier for his jet mode to land/dock on.
5- How about giving 1986 Metroplex a water baser aircarft carrier alt mode. or a huge navy Battleship alt mode. instead of that ground based wheeled aircraft carrier alt mode. the toy could still transform into a similar looking metrople robot mode,a city/attack base mode & water based aircraft carrier alt mode.
6- 1986 hotrod sports car that attaches to a trailer. the trailer can form armor pieces/suit of armor to turn the hotrod robot into a leader sized super robot called Rodimus Prime.
7- Release 4 deluxe sized G-1 dinobots & one voyager sized grimlock. That can combine to form a gestalt combiner.
8- Masterforce overlord. One Voyagersized tank that transforms into a lion. one voyager sized black stealth jet that transforms into a dragon with wings. both the jet & tank combine to form a super robot called Overlord. maybe the beast modes can combine to form something that looks like 1986 skylyn's super beast mode. maybe repaint this into skylynx colors/persona.
9- PMOP,instead of optimus folding up into a rubiks cube to fit into a suit of armor/trailer for the super robot mode. how about a stand up MP-10 Convoy. that comes with a PMOP styled trailer that breaks up into armor pieces like boots,forearms,back pack,chest & waist plate. maybe newer head. fold down shoulder canons. newer added weapons. similar in fashion to takara's Car robot Fireconvoy super sized toy.
10- 1985 Omega supreme becomming a supreme or leader sized tripple changer. where he transform into a rocket,a tank & a robot mode. instead of the puzzle put together/take apart parts that was the 1985 omega supreme toy.
11- How about making all duo-cons as tripple changers. or how about giving each duo con alt mode a animal mode that they can transform into. then having two vechicles combine to form a robot mode. the toys could be two basics or two deluxes that combine to form a deluxe or voyager sized robot mode.
12- how about doing a leader sized trypticon toy with a added robot mode. it would transfotm from a mechanical T-rex,then into a robot mode. then plit in half like the 1986 toy to form a city/base mode. those who don't want a robot mode,can pretend it doesn't exist by not transforming it into robot mode. the robot mode can have beastial elements like claws under the robot fist & feet. a dinosaur skeleton outer helmet with a inner robot face inside. meelee weapons like a ball & chain,a huge sword.

This isn't a terrible idea. In fact, that should be his primary altmode.Tigermegatron wrote:4- How about giving 1986 Tripple changer broadside a battleship alt mode instead of a aircraft carrier alt mode. it can still be a tripple changer & transform from a military jet to a navy battle ship then into a robot mode. this way we don't get the jokes anymore that broadside transforms into his own aircraft carrier for his jet mode to land/dock on.
As long as it's more stable than Fire Convoy, I'm okay with this.9- PMOP,instead of optimus folding up into a rubiks cube to fit into a suit of armor/trailer for the super robot mode. how about a stand up MP-10 Convoy. that comes with a PMOP styled trailer that breaks up into armor pieces like boots,forearms,back pack,chest & waist plate. maybe newer head. fold down shoulder canons. newer added weapons. similar in fashion to takara's Car robot Fireconvoy super sized toy.

TL:DR and... didn't you start a thread almost identical to this one about a year ago already? I swear I've read that Galvatron wish list almost verbatim before.

Deathy does this constantly. He'll just post his "ideas" as if they're gold and as if Hasbro is listening to his every whim.Shockwave wrote:TL:DR and... didn't you start a thread almost identical to this one about a year ago already?

The worst part is, he was asking for Masterpiece Rodimus Prime for years (literally years) and they finally made one...so now he thinks he's justified.
