    Oh right.
    What's wrong with Animated having a variety of sources for their characters?
    I mean, personally I'd prefer completely new characters, but still.

    I'd toss my lot in for Rhinox, then Tarantulas, then Airrazor. Blackarachnia would be preferable to Tarantulas, but I mean, c'mon look how bad the animated one is shelfwarming. They're not gonna put out another female spider figure anytime soon. Probably not for several years, when they forget how bad this BA sold.

    I also don't believe the Season One characters (Scorp and 'Saur) need new toy because they never did play a big part in the series, and TM toys were accurate enough to the show.

    Silverbolt -- I prefer the BW one but the BM one needs a better toy. would love to see vehicle-mode Rampage and Depth Charge too.

    EDIT: thought this said Animated and not Universe. my bad!

    i stand by Silverbolt though. a redone Rhinox would be nice. and a redeco of BWX Megatron as T-Wrecks. sweet.

    Here's my list:

    -Snarl- The Tasmanian Devil guy. Make him a new mold Deluxe. A bit obscure, so he's less likely, but he was my first official Transformers toy as a kid.

    -Scorponok- Make him a new mold Deluxe. I want to see what they can do with this guy.

    That's pretty much it for actual Beast Wars characters I would like to see, though I would love to see the RID Megatron mold either updated or repainted/retooled in the Universe line. If they go with that unused Botcon Megatron idea, that could fit within the Beast Wars area.

    No one. After how Cheetor and Dinobot turned out I can't see Hasbro making any decent beast TFs unless they're Transmetals. (which of course won't have chrome if they do them, anyway)

    Terrorsaur, Blackarachnia and a larger Rhinox. All the other characters had good enough toys in my opinion except Dinobot but he has now been re-done anyway.

    Like everyone else said, I want a Rhinox with a more show-accurate appearance. Same goes for Airazor.


    One thing I'd like to see is BW characters with Earth vehicle modes. Like for Terrorsaur, they could make him a seeker (since he has Starscreamish traits as it is, and they could just use Classic Screamer's mold). For the jet's paint job, they could give him shark's teeth nose art on the cone and maybe paint an allusion to his pterasaur mode's wings on the jet's wings. ...Or something. I thought the Movie Reverb looks a hellova lot like Waspinator with a vehicle mode, and a helicopter seems fitting.

    I dunno, I wish Hasbro do something like that, even if they'd be repaints with slight retooling or at least with new headsculpts.

    I unfortunately concur. I really had high hopes for Dinobot, but after seeing the "in hand" pics of Cheetor, and the prototype pics for Dinobot, I'm really quite disapointed. I wasn't expecting Masterpiece level superfaithfullness, but I was expecting a lot more then they've delivered thus far. I realize that certain beasts to robots can be tricky to near impossible to pull off well in both forms, but I was still expecting more then they've delivered, these seem only marginally better.

    I wouldn't mind a twopack with very slight remolding/retooling of TM Megatron and TM Optimus Primal. TM Megs, for example (Besides lacking chrome), could have an extra rotation on the fan turbines to adjust for "flight" angles in both modes, more of a socket action on the tailpiece to better slide the arm into for the weapon, and a replaceable tail end with the disk player, and a "Charged claw" action. Little changes like that would make the twopack pretty appealing, and they're two strong figures anyway.

    Rhinox and Airazor are definitely good choices. A new and more dynamic looking Depthcharge might be cool as well.

    Let's take a look at the size classes the Universe line needs. VOYAGER. Badly.

    Taking that into account, a new Rhinox, Scorponok, Inferno or even a bigger Quickstrike would be awesome. I'd prefer to see at least one Pred, what with two Maximals already coming. They might need to call the ant Scavenger what with the Inferno fire truck out there too.

    The original Blackarachnia. Hasbro couldn't do any worse. It's too bad for that idea that we've already got an Animated(and Robot Hero) version.

    Optimal Optimus - I know we just got 10th Primal not to long ago. I could see him being remade at a voyager class. Repaint wise, Primal Prime.

    Rhinox is the consensus choice. Preferably Voyager scale.

    On some I wish they could just re-release them. Maybe retool the head to be more show accurate. If they were to do that I'd love to see:
    Transmetal Tarantulas
    Transmetal Megatron with smirk
    Transmetal Cheetor with a smirk
