    In that case I hope they continue, provided they improve their quality control.

    I hope they eventually turn away from the 84-85 series, and remake some rare/unique characters/toys. Perhaps even some that never got a toy during g1, like Arcee ,Quints, or if possible Devcon?

    The Quintessons have been made by another outfit - not at the WST scale of course.

    They've done several of the movie designs now.

    Pass. The obscenely long wait, and QC issues of the last two WST Dinobots (particularly Swoop) has soured me to the idea of getting more.

    Yeah I heard about those.

    I can't remember the exact price,but I think it was at a Jim Jones level of insanity.

    Not to mention they were very limited, I think?

    I'd also love to see some of the larger g1 figures such as inferno, grapple, ultra magnus etc. Wst six shot! he'd have to be larger than the dino's though.

    But... Fort Max was a little over twice the size of all of the other Headmasters (after his upgrade) The toy had him about 5-6 times the size.

    Why would we want him bigger?

    Unless you mean the one single episode he appeared in the cartoon, as opposed to the 2 years he appeared and had great characterization in the comic. :D

    WHAT !? WST Shockwave ? :eek:  That's so awesome I backflipped with my chair when I when I saw the news! I want all 3, right now please!

    The sad thing is that I still don't have a G1 Shockwave yet, despite him being one on my favorite :(  Guess I'll have the WST first :p

    Don't know about the others, but I could see getting WST Shockwave. Would be fun to see if any of the Masterpiece toys or other TFs with articulated hands could hold the gun mode.

    If they can make these with identical transformations and every accessory included with high detail then they can make any WST transformer character. Cannot wait.

    I must have at least 3 Shockwaves! Wheeljack is a bizarre choice as, if he's to scale, he'll be much smaller than the other two. I imagine, if we're keeping the scale, both Blaster and Shockers will be bigger than the Dinobots, and no bad thing at that in my opinion.

    Prepare for TFSource's Christmas Stocking Fillers to be Shackwave, Malboro Wheeljack and Twincast ^^

    they use toon scale, not toy scale. and that doesnt' make WJ an odd choice at all. It just helps reinforce the legitimate WST Autobots.

    I hope these will be in scale with the other WST's.
    The Dinobots were made in scale to the other WSTs based on their size in the cartoon so they probably will be. So Wheeljack will probably be the same size as Prowl and Jazz and Blaster the size of Soundwave.
    Will probably get each of these.

    Someone mentions Contructicons, they already exist as (unofficial) WST's, along with the Aerialbots, Combaticons, Protectobots, Stunticons and Fortress Maximus.
    These are not of the Justitoys quality but Devastator is great, Superion is good as well except that the smaller Aerialbots can't move their arms foward.
    Bruticus has wrong colors and Onslaught can't move his arms foward.
    With Defensor you can't put First Aid in the place he is supposed to be (left arm) so you have to switch him with Groove or Streetwise, Hotspot has the wrong color and can't move his arms foward.
    Menasor is the worst of these series as he has Technobots Nosecone and Afterburner instead of Wildrider and Dead End and Dragstrip can't be used in the place he is supposed to be (an arm).
    Fortress Maximus is good though. Justitoys could do a Scorponok of similar size to oppose it.

    The Predacons would be a great idea though, then they would also have to do a Sky Lynx to oppose it. :) 

    But my nr.1 favorite to have as WST would be Omega Supreme.

    I would also like weapon sets for the Autobots. All autobots have no weapons except for Optimus, Ultra Magnus and Hot Rod. I gave 1 of Hot Rod's weapons to Jazz (which fits in his hand) and have an additional Optimus Prime and also two custom G2 Optimus Prime's just for the weapons (gave Optimus guns to Prowl and Bluestreak and used 2 the missile launchers as shoulder launchers (with some tape) for Sideswipe and Red Alert). But having accurate weapons for them would be better.

    But as for more normal sized Autobots how about:
    Sunstreaker (we have Sideswipe so should have his brother too ;)  )
    Hound
    Tracks
    Warpath
    Ironhide / Ratchet (cartoon accurate, so with a normal head)
    Powerglide
    Seaspray
    Cosmos
    Skyfire (cartoon accurate)
    Inferno / Grapple
    Trailbreaker / Hoist

    I would also like a Smokescreen but that could simply be a repaint of Prowl or Bluestreak. Considering how many Decepticon jet repaints there are on Ebay I am surpriced that there aren't any Prowls (Bluestreak is rare) converted into Smokescreens for sale.

    As for Decepticons I would say:
    Blitzwing (but triple changers might be to difficult at this size)
    Astrotrain (but triple changers might be to difficult at this size)
    Insecticons (Shrapnel, Bombshell, Kickback)
    Soundwave cassette pack (Buzzsaw, Laserbeak, Rumble, Frenzy and maybe Ratbat, Slugfest and Overkill)

    Season 3 characters:
    Predacons (razorclaw, Divebomb, Headstrong, Tantrum, Rampage)
    Sky Lynx
    Ultra Magnus trailer
    Galvatron
    Kup
    Blurr
    Cyclonus
    Scourge (and you could get 5 more to be the Sweeps :)  )
    Blaster cassette pack (Rewind, Eject, Ramhorn, Steeljaw)
    Springer (won't be to difficult I think because his car mode is very similar to his helicopter mode)
    Arcee
    Octane (but might be to difficult at this size)

    One of my favorite season 3 characters is Broadside (the toy is bad but I like the character in the cartoon) but I put a G1 Broadside with my WST's, this fits very well as he is big in the cartoon.

    I'll get these three new ones. I love the WST Dinobots! I'm happiest about Wheeljack. :D  Wheeljack always manged to bet the best out of the Dinobots. It's too bad Hotrod never took lessons from Wheeljack in that regard.
