    thanks. I've had many repaint ideas over the years, but that one has always been my favorite. Oh, and here's some of the others I forgot:

    Ironfist - Universe Hound, new head

    Guzzle - Generations Warpath

    yes, to everything you've said...

    Over-Run from Energon Bulkhead & Jackpot from Generations Jazz or Botcon Jazz

    also, Warpath as G1 Treadshot, and lets get more Action Masters updated somehow! i want Roll-Out, Rumbler, Skyfall, Sprocket, Krok, Charger and Mainframe, just not sure from what molds.

    If they really are digging up older molds, I'd like to see them redeco the Rail Racer combiner from RID.

    I figured the Subscription Service would be a good outlet for the Elite Guard Over-Run that was in the magazine 2 years ago, but I sent Pete an e-mail and he said it's not in their plans.

    I also suggested that they make Ironfist out of ROTF Brawn. I know most people want to see him come from Hound, but I think Brawn's alt mode, head sculpt, and weaponry would make for a really fitting Ironfist

    using Energon Bulkhead as the body? that'd work, but there's already Energon Quickstrike, and he was red... he's my stand in for Over-Run at the moment, all he really needs is a new head and he'd be pretty great as Over-Run

    Whatever they make, guaranteed I'd only be interested in one or two out of 5-6 any given year.

    Things I'd like to see:
    Animated Soundwave -> remold -> 'Earth Mode' Animated Brawn
    Hydro Bumblebee remold -> Glyph (I might also accept an Arcee remold)
    Cybertron Snarl repaint -> 'unfuzed' BW Silverbolt
    DOTM Skyhammer -> Deathcobra
    Animated Oil Slick -> Cy-Kill

    there's absolutely nothing confirmed, but i'm guessing it'll be about $300... that's around the price of a Botcon set, and this is very similar, but without the big fancy box, so hopefully it's cheaper than a Botcon set... I'd love if it's only $200 or so.

    Toy speculation? Honestly, after the six we've seen so far I wouldn't know where to begin. We've had six toys from different lines, using on VERY recent mould (FE Starscream), to one that I could never have predicted (Ultra Mammoth), to a new Animated toy. All bets are off, but I hope they keep the (pleasant) surprises coming!

    My guess is that they'll round out some of their existing lines (Animated, Shattered Glass, Wings) as new molds/ideas come to them.

    I'd really be quite happy with Jhiaxus from Prime: Skyquake/Dreadwing and Krok from WFC Megatron. Both would need new heads. Jhiaxus would fit in with the G2: Redux theme, and Krok fits with the other Action Masters.

    Yeah, a payment plan may make or break this for a lot of people. Or at least give us a heads up far enough in advance to save up. An upfront payment would make this a major purchase. And I personally would have a hard time forking that kinda dough over to just pre-pay for figures. That's money I could put towards something else like holes in my collection, new tech/gear, or whatever.

    Holy... I never even considered Brawn/Fallback... He would be great for Ironfist without the need for a new head to boot!

    So... over the years, what characters have shown up in the club comics that are obvious newer toys but have yet to get made? Elita-One and Razorclaw got made already... I'm skipping the SG characters because there's so many random repaints..

    Over-Run, Hellbat, Gaihawk, Hooligan...?

    Energon Scorponok in G1 colors.

    LOVE the idea of FOC Swindle into Ironfist. I'd prefer it as mainline, but as a club figure I'd be all over it. I'd be down with most of the FOC figures redone into new updates of classics characters that have yet to be touched.

    Such as this guy (photoshop by Whitemocha!)

    Torque suggested the idea and I asked Whitemocha of he could do it. Turns out he loves Chromedome so was happy to do it :D

    Ah I see. I thought he made a new thread for these :)  Seriously though, FP should hire the guy, his ideas are fantastic!

    Yes... yes I was. :)  I DO love me some Chromedome. It was a cool idea! And potentially could work even better now with Jazz's Sideswipe remold.

    Thanks Star Saber, kind of you to say! :)  Although I suspect if I ever did get to design a Botcon figure or something, there would be just as many people who dislike it as ever. Our fanbase is nothing if not fickle!

    Still, man, SO many new molds that a ripe for repainting in the last few years. There's certainly no shortage of Botcon/TFCC contenders!

    I would love to see them release the missing Animated Seekers through the subscription service.
