    one thing i know for sure, we should be looking at who is in the comics right now, its not mistake there are beasts in the comics, but which ones outside of primal and megs are takeing centre stage, i can think of 3 that did for abit tigertron airazor and dinbot, these are normally the best clues to which characters are most likely to get updated forms

    Given the rampant popularity of the G1 reissues, I think they should try this with Beast Wars. I honestly think a lot of those Basic-class figures still hold up, and if they were to get reissued I'd probably pick up some of them. Would maybe be a low-cost, low-risk "test the waters" option.

    I'm thinking thinking that potp primal is a taste of what's to come in the future. Also do you think hasbro would draw inspiration from beast wars uprising?
    I'd love to get a deluxe primal to as well as updates to my other favorite maximal characters Depthcharge and dinobot

    How about a Magnaboss vs Tripredacus Titan boxset?

    6 Voyager figures, like CW Devastator.

    ...if it means that they're each the same size as a standard combiner wars team, i'm down for it, although i'd rather see magnaboss and tripredacus packaged separately...generally speaking, i prefer combiners to match devastator's titan scale, but for magnaboss and tripredacus that'd require the individual figures to be ridiculously oversized and i'm okay with them being a little smaller, like road caesar...

    Three Voyager-sized figures combined would nice and chunky, they'd make a nice pair, and just imagine the box artwork!

    Given her popularity, I have to believe they would release her as an original mold. Hopefully the legs are removable...I like BA but I hates me some spiders.

    Hasbro look to be enjoying their exclusives with Amazon. So long as a new beast-focused line has molds for Wolfang, Razorbeast, Polar Claw and Cheetor, they could make the four Pretender Beasts retools as exclusives.

    Well, if Hasbro are nervous about Beast Wars in the main retail toyline, they now have this:

    I’m really hoping we get a turbomaster boss from potp p/cp. but it would be really cool to get a redone Cheetor, and some more updated love for primal, Dinobot, depthcharge

    Wish there was an option for "some" of the seasons 2-3 characters. Updates for ALL the characters is, and let's be honest here, unrealistic. Pick one Cheetor to redo and do that, though maybe go with Season 1 since the one from ten years a go was errr.... yeah...

    If there's room for both a season 1 and 2/3 iteration of a single character, that has to either go to Megatron or Dinobot.

    The Select Series wouldn't be a bad way for Hasbro to start gradually give us repaints/retools of existing molds of the Beast Era cast before eventually moving on to giving them new molds for the 25th anniversary as a way to build up hype and awareness.

    I mean I already have a few ideas of how they can do so.

    Primal Prime from POTP Optimal Optimus
    Beast Wars Megatron from POTP Grimlock.
    Airrazor from POTP Cutthroat
    Wolf Fang from TR Wolfwire
    Terrorsaur,Fractyl, and Laserbeak from POTP Swoop
    Guildart and Triceradon from POTP Slug
    Saberback and Striker from POTP Snarl
    Nightscream from TR Mindwipe
    USA release of Convobat along with the Oynx Primal repaint
    Megagator from TR Skullcruncher with TR Nebulos headmaster
    USA release of Legends Lio Convoy as Leo Prime

    And if they want to get bold they can also release a version of the Botcon Predacus set but with the Tripredacus council in their original toy colors.

    With Generations Selects now on the agenda, it was worth reworking the old guess list again:

    Well, the shape of potential Generations lines keeps changing. The introduction of the Commander class, a rumoured Leader Astrotrain meaning a possible 4th Leader class slot.

    So far, I think the figure count for Siege is 51.

    Oh, what we could do with 51 figures...
