Your Classics Wishlist

The modern comics universe has had such a different take on G1, one that's significantly represented by the Generations toys, so they share a forum. A modern take on a Real Cybertronian Hero. Currently starring Generations toys, IDW "The Transformers" comics, MTMTE, TF vs GI Joe, and Windblade. Oh wait, and now Skybound, wheee!

I haven't, but I still have that copy of the movie so I could.

You know, I'd also like to see some of the UK Marvel characters get toys. Impactor and Emirate Xaaron would be great.

Ooh, I certainly would like an actual Nightstalker toy (possibly a redeco of Cybertron Snarl, BW Wolfang or Jawbreaker, or maybe even RiD Bruticus...my bet's on Cybertron Snarl).

I'd also like to see some more War Within models; I liked some of the designs, and would love to see more.

okay, since its been ages since I've known about this place, and never came in.....

anyways, what I'd like to see, are some good old fashioned city bots. I mean true ones, no purple painted cybertron Scourge as Trypticon, no mine Reclamation vehicle named Metroplex, a good old fashioned city former.....yessssss.
The untapped playability, they forked up armada so bad by not getting a good base with minicons unlocking battlestation mode. Unicron doesn't count, a ring of minicons...sheesh, you have to be kidding me.

and with all the whining from Habsor execs about unlicensed fan projects, IE, the trailers and such, I'd like them to actually complete a figure, and not let us hanging....

anyways, as for other bots, I'd like to see a correctly done Roadbuster, Overlord, Victory Saber, (well, pretty much any of the Jap figs after Headmasters)
TFW had a guy that did an awesome Pyro out of a SWTF turbo tank, so Clench would be good as well.

mmm.....my most wanted though, would be to see the dinobots redone with some nastiness, Grimlock not being a raptor, but a T Rex, etc. That's what I'd like to see the most.

PREACH IT.

a) The PTB[1] cite cost issues, then put out grabbage like a ONE-HUNDRED-USD MOVIE DEVASTATOR THAT DOESN'T TRANSFORM... for that money, I would GLADLY buy two and a half citybots.

b) Metroplex is so 80s. But even if they kept the same transformation and just teched him up, he'd be a surefire winner today. Minicon ports replacing Aerialbot/Protectobot head-soaking stations, modern articulation.... Dude.

and with all the whining from Habsor execs about unlicensed fan projects, IE, the trailers and such, I'd like them to actually complete a figure, and not let us hanging....
Hehe.
a correctly done Roadbuster
by this, of course, you mean this: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Slowmotion ... lkahm5.jpg


Overlord, Victory Saber, (well, pretty much any of the Jap figs after Headmasters)
I have so much enthusiasm for these characters done in Animated style. Sure, if the choice was between Animated and Classics, gimme classics, but if they won't consider them for mainline releases, by all means, give us Derrick Jesus Wyatt's versions.

mmm.....my most wanted though, would be to see the dinobots redone with some nastiness, Grimlock not being a raptor, but a T Rex, etc. That's what I'd like to see the most.
Nastiness? What, like... Mad Max nasty? Or like above-linked IDWness nasty? Not sure where you're going with this. But, while on the note, I do wonder why we've never seen a recolor of BW Ultra Megs as Grimlock...

..after all this time, I still want Sixshot. And Quickswitch retool. But given OcTankor is the current example of triplechanging, perhaps sixchanging wouldn't be as awesome as it should be. :<

B-but Blitzwing!

I suppose I shouldnt' even mention Gigatron, since he's totally old news by this point, and his six to ten modes are just "sorta" different things.

I always like the Evil Elephant, myself.

One of the main reasons I'm not getting RID of my RID Megatron. Sorry, couldn't resist. Besides, the bat mode makes the perfect Halloween decoration for a Transfan.

But I heart ClAstrotrain! Both flavours, but moreso Takara's for that anime Astrotrain warm fuzzy feeling. Love those colours.

Train mode aside, he really is a good figure and the Henkei colors are definately superior. Which is why I got that one instead of regular flavour. It's gonna suck to part with him.
