    Bear in mind that we wouldn’t have Siege right now if either of the lines had lasted longer.

    I personally wanted more toys in Titans Return

    DELUXE
    Nightbeat and Siren remolded from Chromedome
    New mold Hosehead
    Fangry and Squeezeplay remolded from Twinferno
    Horri-Bull remolded from Wolfwire

    VOYAGER
    New mold Snapdragon
    New mold Apeface

    LEADER
    New mold Scorponok


    POWER OF THE PRIMES

    PRIME MASTERS

    Waverider
    Bumblebee
    Grimlock
    Jazz
    Stranglehold
    Carnivac
    Snarler
    Starscream

    DELUXE

    Thundercracker and Skywarp repainted from Ghost Starscream

    Tentakil, Nautilator, Skalor, Seawing and Overbite as new molds or very heavy retools of the Terrorcons

    Icepick, Slog and Scowl remolded from Blot
    Bristleback and Birdbrain remolded from Sinnertwin
    Wildfly repainted from Cutthroat with the Wildfly head

    VOYAGER

    New mold Snaptrap
    Hydrax recolored from Hun-Grr (new G1 character based on Bot Shots toy who would have been repainted into Hun-Grr)

    LEADER

    New mold Thunderwing
    New mold Star Saber



    So do you have regrets over the lines ending when they did and wanted more toys before Hasbro moved on?

    You spelled titan class wrong for Scorponok. :D 

    But really though PotP should have gone at least 6 months longer with the seacons as a minimum and they could have done a lot more head and target masters in TR style if not the line.

    POTP could've been shorter, Terrorcons should've been all wave 2 with Dinobots all being wave 1, I would've done without Elita 1 and Starscream. Wave 3 could've been:
    • Nova Star
    • Moonracer
    • Blackwing
    • Dreadwind
    I think Titans Return should've been longer. It boggles my mind how the actual G1 Decepticon headmaster triple changers(Apeface/Snapdragon) got skipped over! Class A trolling by Hasbro right there. Galvatron would've had a better neck swivel had it not been for that pop up mask gimmick! Also wanted a new Scorponok, Nightbeat, Horribull, Fangry and others.

    The Titans Return beasts were all fun for me.

    Pretty much what @Shin Densetsu said. Why more of the G1 Headmasters weren't given updates in TR confounds me as well. It seemed like the perfect time to do it.

    I'm still angry that Snapdragon got skipped, and will continue being angry until we get new toys of him finally.

    Scorponok ditto.

    Hopefully more Titans Returns figures will pop up in the WFC trilogy.

    Yes, absolutely! I had an idea way back for how they could stretch Titans Return over 8 full waves instead of 5:

    Wave 6:

    Legends: Eject, Ramhorn, Huffer
    Deluxe: Nightbeat, Pointblank, Crosshairs, Horribul (Slugslinger moved to wave 5)
    Voyager: Springer, Apeface
    Leader: Twincast, Thunderwing

    Wave 7
    Legends: Frenzy, Steeljaw, Ratbat
    Deluxe: Siren, Sureshot, Fangry, Spinster,
    Voyager: Sandstorm
    Leader: Soundblaster

    Wave 8:

    Legends: Pipes, Warpath, Ransack
    Deluxe: Hosehead, Wreck-Gar, Needlenose, Squeezeplay
    Voyager: Snaptrap
    Leader: Rodimus Prime

    Not sure what the titanmasters would be, but whatever.

    I think my biggest fear now is that, if they did a leader class Scorponok, he'd be too small.

    I'd be in for a scaled down Titan, though. Make him 14 inches tall and WIDE AND DENSE. That would put him toe to toe with Super God Ginrai and size relative to TR Fort Max in terms of the G1 toys.

    I really do think that POTP should've been 6 waves like CW and TR. but instead of making TR 8 waves, I totally think there should've been more exclusives.

    for POTP I would love to see

    basically every pretender in G1 aside for Thunderwing (I want a voyager figure of him, not leader, not deluxe, voyager).
    the seacons could've been done with only one brand new mold, everyone else could've been a heavy retool of the terrorcons (snaptrap would be such an easy retool of Hun-Gurr)

    I really don't want Monstructor to be a 5 transformer combiner. I want a 6 deluxe figure combiner which is ultimately about the same size as the other CW/POTP combiners. Unfortunately, that would require all new molds, so I predict that if we ever get Monstructor, it would most likely be a Haslab thing or an online exclusive.

    Titans Return

    Fangry would be a really easy retool of Grotesque. Squeezeplay would be an easy retool of Repugnus. Horribull could be a retool of either Weirdwolf or Skullcrusher.

    Eject I am shocked we never got in some way. Kinda surprised they didn't include him with that stupid Bumblebee Movie set with TR figures in it. Would've probably sold more if they included Eject. Yes, I know Soundwave is a Decepticon and the cassettes that came with him were Decepticons, but if the only way you could get eject was getting that stupid set, it would've sold like hot cakes.

    Hosehead I would love, but he would have to be a voyager.

    Crosshairs could be a retool of Kup. Make Sureshot and retool him into Joyride. Pointblank could be a retool of Hot Rod or Chromedome. New mold for Slapdash.

    new molds for Apeface and Snapdragon, again maybe this could be a 2 pack from Haslab whenever they decide to make Transformers.

    We have a general idea that eventually we'll get a Titan Scorponok since he's the last cityformer. But I want a Leader sized Scorponok not a Titan sized.

    Oh, yes yes yeees!
    Of course I would have loved it if TR and potp had lasted longer.
    I still want Titan Scorponok
    Voyager Snapdragon, Apeface, Doubledealer
    Deluxe Sureshot, Pointblank, Crosshairs, Joyride, Slapdash, small headmaster Autobots and Decepticons and double targetmasters for both teams.
    And Piranacon, a better Liokaiser, Monstructor...
    Many of which will not be done justice in the new size system and with the new aesthetic.
    I still hope for the trigger-dudes and the fire-dudes too, but I think they'll be done fine in wfc.
