Basically im talking about using the original toy transformation designs, more cartoon accurate/human proportions in the alt mode, and simplifying their colors to match the show.
The alt modes should employ new tech such as ball joints but making sure that the legs and arms retain that triangular shape of the show. In my opiion some characteers like G1 Hot Rod are almost there. Others like Iron Hide or Reflector would benefit immensly. I find it hard to believe a G1 accurate Iron hide would be hard to make.
Im looking at my G1's and wondering what mirage would look like with the same Transformation, but Triangular legs, ball joints, and a cartoon color scheme. as opposed to Robot Masters which used a G2 mold.
My point is...why try to redesign awesome toys? Just take what was working from the original, and simply update the tech.
It would be great..
