    I'm all for anything that puts out a few more nice figures at retail prices. It seems like Generations and Transformers Prime has been fairly slow with Deluxe releases and the Scout has been dropped which is too bad because they could be used for the main line with smaller characters or with Cyberverse for larger characters.

    I don't need another Classics Bee (6+ is enough). I'd not mind Glyph or Wasp though and even a black bumblebee has some amusement value but it's still pretty frivolous I suppose.

    I loved that line as well, allowed us access to some old molds, and classic characters. However, I think that sort of chop-suey anyone from any line sort of series was bad for marketing, which is why that sort of thing is now being taken up the Club.

    I don't think Marauder Megatron ever made it to the tooling stage, unfortunately.

    Yep, apparently both that and Animated Hotshot were only very early protos. A pity.

    Honestly, while I love the classics style figures....I would not want to see that because then the pegs really would become a hive. Everything else sounds good though.

    I would love an idea like this! I didnt buy many of the universe figures but that had more to do with money rather then preference. If they were to do this theyd need to do another comic or something to go with it, kind of like dissidia but with transformers

    Cyclonus is based off of this: http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/e/e2/FFOD5_Decepticons_attack.JPG

    Shrapnel is based off of an old idea I had way back when of Insecticons with vehicle modes.

    Warpath was pretty random, but took inspiration from BM Blastcharge,
