    Ironhide and Ratchet
    The Dinobots. Voyagers Grimlock, Snarl, Slag, Swoop and Leader Sludge, with alt-modes that resemble robotic versions of our modern understanding of what dinosaurs looked like.
    Shockwave. The Combiner Wars Legend is neato and all, but he too dam smol.
    Deathsaurus.
    Flywheels, á la POTP Battletrap.
    All sorts of Beasts Wars characters, Torca (Leader!) and Injector chief of all!

    SOUNDWAVE and his minions. He's had a vehicle form in the comics for a while now and so have Rumble and Frenzy. Not sure exactly what Ravage, Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw transform into now but they all need better versions than those horrible data stick/tablet things

    Not perfectly accurate, but there is a deluxe in Cyberverse, and a voyager in Cyber Battalion

    I initially wanted Deluxe but after seeing Battletrap I'd like to see Legends with flip out weapons.

    I agree I am digging on that SS Grimlock. They should give us the rest with more movie accurate colors: Scorn Slug and Strafe

    Motormaster.

    I want a leader class robot mode that turns into the truck and trailer like the G1 toy did.

    I don't care if he combines but I'd like to see his head based on the G1 toy not the cartoon version.

    Fasttrack. He can be used as an army builder too.

    Cyclonus. The deluxe was too small and the jet mode wasn't great.

    Scourge. The Generations version looked awful and the Titans Return had a terrible head.

    Battletrap. The POTP is too small. Can we get rid of the legend class and bring back scouts?

    Actually can we get rid of deluxes too? Jets and trucks shouldn't be smaller than Voyager and I'd like more scout cars.

    They'd make a nice little set.

    Crankcase could be a retool of Brawn/Outback. The jets could share a mold. Backstreet could be used for Deluge and Drench. Ruckus for Fizzle. They would basically fill the Legends slots of a line easily.

    Tons of Beast Wars and Beast Machines characters including a tm Megs who isn't cosplaying as movie Jazz, a good tm2 Megs, lots of the smaller toys and all the BM toys crippled by the gimmicks. So pretty much anything deluxe and larger.

    Deluxe or larger Battle Unicorn!

    I would love to see a studio series line for G1 characters and retro box designs. This is a great way to get an updated voyager Soundwave that transforms into a tape deck or the original seekers in voyager scale.

    Spinister, Crankcase, and Flywheels. I was so excited when I heard Battletrap was getting an update because it gave me hope for Flywheels. Didn't happen. I was so excited when I saw the poll for Spinister to get a new figure. He lost. And Crankcase? He got excited and then his head fell apart.

    Firecons would be nice. Yeah, Cindersaur is getting a new figure, but is he really? It's just a Slash repaint and it looks nothing like the original toy. I want a new Sparkstalker, dammit!

    Some of the Action Masters getting remade would be cool. Even if they got rid of the Action Master gimmick, like they did for Krok.

    A Star Sabre who isn't a $200 Masterpiece. Don't get me wrong; everything I've seen of that figure looks grand, but I don't collect Masterpiece and he'd tower over every figure I own. I just don't want it.

    Thunderclash, although I have the MMC version on preorder and he looks cool.

    I also really want Waverider for some reason. I have the G1 toy but all these Prime Masters left me hoping he'd get an update that never happened.

    And lastly, Scorponok. Really disappointed all we got for Titans Return was his disembodied head at the very end. Whether he's a Titan or Leader, I'd like to see a new Scorpy out there.

    I'm sure there's more I want, but for the life of me I'm drawing a blank. Meh, this is as good a preliminary list as any.

    I totally forgot Blackarachnia and Airazor!

    I'd also add:

    - G2 Cyberjets done without the huge missiles (Spacecase kind of had a figure in DoTM, but does that one count?).

    - RID Towline.

    - Energon Wing Sabre...might also give Star Saber fans a figure in the same breath.

    - The Fallen using Dreamwave's original "my insides are on fire!!!" design.
