    CW Sunstreaker as Sideswipe and Red Alert
    TR Chromedome as Siren w/ Loudmouth Titan
    TR Sky Shadow as Dai Atlas
    and a US release of Greatshot, UW Lightspeed and Blastoff, even if the paint decos are a little different.

    Some nice ideas already.

    DOTM Megatron, Lifeline and Rescue Force definitely appeal to me.

    CW-compatible Sideswipe with a better head sculpt than the Universe figure, and anything to make assembling a G2 Defensor easier. Inferno's looking to be a good base so far. Maybe...

    Non-diaclone!Bluestreak. For the casual consumer, this completes the Datsun trio w/ CW molds, and for G2 nutjobs like me, he'd probably the best base for a G2 Streetwise. (Unless they were to bring Barricade from the movies into the G1 realm, a la Lugnut...?)

    Whirl as G2 Blades? A Hasbro release of Baldigus/Ruination? Not familiar with a lot of blue 'copters.

    Something as a base for G2 First Aid... I just have no idea what that'd be. Maybe a name slap from a long-forgotten Micromaster on the package, even if it's just literally First Aid in a G2 suit. Or they could make up a new guy, like how Alpha Bravo was wearing Vortex's body for the first 4 waves of CW.

    Still hoping that Walgreens Wreck-Gar is going to be an orange CW deluxe Groove. I feel that Wreck-Gar's Legends-scale CW figure would've made a suitable G2 Groove colour-wise, so I'm hoping it'll be something similar.

    Actually... Now, this this would probably never happen, but I'd love to see a CW-compatible Ironhide again... But using Rook's mold. A big, beefy Security Director as an APC sounds like a perfect fit. Having Hulk-hand-holes could even be a nod to his various wrist-hole-liquid-spray things from the cartoon(Liquid Nitrogen, etc). Optimus Maximus would've been way more interesting this way, I feel, instead of being Menasor part 2: The search for minor retooling.

    And now, from probably never, to no way in Hell will it ever happen, a Hasbro release of Shuttle Blast Off in G2 colours. </3

    A bunch of CW Autobot car repaints as RID Spychangers.

    It should be a capital crime that, somehow, we got an Ironhide, who turns into a truck...AND THERE IS NO VERSION OF HIM PAINTED LIKE A GATEWAY COMPUTER BOX.

    As mentioned before and by others...Sideswipe and Red Alert seem obvious and much needed releases.

    TR Brawn to Outback seems inevitable.

    And stateside releases of Nosecone, Lightspeed, and Blastoff.
