Hotshot or Bumblebee?

 

Well, a 2006 Honda Civic Sedan EX in black can be Alternators Runabout, or my fictional fan-made character Roadshadow.

I'm a sucker for Honda cars.  

 

I really really like that car. So much so that I'm actually giving up most TFs in order t obuy one. Also looking for a Civic die-cast or model kit so I can make a Runabout.

 

The Aston Martin DB9 would be nice, love that car, or maybe the Gallardo, but Lamborghini dont want their cars associated with toys with guns do they? that was the story a few years ago wasnt it?

Eh.. I'd like to see the Golf GTI as well, love the standard alloys on it, eh... I dunno any of the cars from Need For Speed Most Wanted really  

 

Personally I would like to see my car as an alternator

I wouldnt mind seeing Hotrod as the new Challenger.

 

But since Ricochet, originally Stepper, only existed as a G1-Jap exclusive, and has only visited the U.S. as apart of the G1 Commemorative line, I'd he'd be down right giddy (about Alternators release).

 

I want to see the following:

Elita-1 and Arcee and Lamborghini's
Trailbreaker and Ironhide as Hummers
Ratchet as an Ambulance
Bumblebee as a Mini cooper
Cliffjumper as a Porsche

No STUPID MOTORCYCLES!

Jets:

Stascream and the gang as F-15's.

 

You sorta got your wish today bud

 

A lot of great ideas here. I like both suggestions for Beachcomber above, and Kup as a Chevy SSR is a great idea. Hor those who haven't seen it there are pictures of a great kitbash of this here:

I'm hoping for more Alternator trucks in the future. Some of my ideas for characters:

Ultra Magnus - Ford F-Series Super Duty Chassis with flatbed car carrier

Ratchet - re-use cab and chassis from Magnus for an ambluance
(though I've been thinking it would make more sense for Ratchet to have been a car hauler given the size of his patients)

Trailbreaker - Chevy Trailblazer with slight name change for licensing purposes

Huffer - GMC Sierra 3500

Hoist - GMC Sierra 3500 Tow Truck

Ironhide - Chevy Uplander


Brawn - Land Rover

Outback - Subaru Outback

Gears - Toyota Tacoma X-Runner in speedway blue


Warpath - If the rumor about Megs as a Hummer are true, this could be a good repaint

I'd also like to see them make Grapple and Inferno. They could charge a little more for them being large vehicles.

 

Well there goes our hopes of the Civic as Runabout or Runamuck.

Here's the good news. With RUMBLE, that will be the first time in the line that a Decepticon got a new mold and not just some remold/repaint.

Notice the robot mode image, its CGI like TF CYBERTRON. Does this mean that Alternators will finally get a SHOW?

Since its the red/black Rumble, does this mean that the remold/repaint will be the purple/black Frenzy?

And where is the final painted version of Mirage?

 

Soudwave and laserbeak

what if they made Soundwave as a Hummer3. it would be interesting when transformered Laserbeak can come out of the front hood were most Altenators keep there guns, and Soundwaves guns liks his G1 counterpart can be desigend into 2 speaker boxes in the back trunk. Just keep the G1 Soundwaves blue and silver colors.

 

What I'd like to see is Ironhide as a Dodge Durango. I mean would it really be THAT hard for Hasbro to rework the Prime mold. I'll be kitbashing one as soon as I can get my hands on a Prime pickup.

 

GTO if anything although the gas mileage sucks on that car. The Z06 has more power and still gets better mileage. Tracks would be cool as a 2006 Z06.

 

I'm in favor of the Dinobots becoming the Dynobots.
1960's Hotrods.
Snarl as a Chevelle SS would rock, in fact they did a cybertron figure (Downshift?) very similar to what I had in mind.
Grim is already a 'stang even though I pictured him as perfect for a '63 Corvette GS.
Slag as a firebreathing dragster
Swoop as something with wings
Sludge as a big honking tank of a car, like a lincoln or a Bently

Grimlock


Slag


Sludge


Snarl


Swoop

I know that remolds have swarmed the line, but I have two remold ideas in mind that I think many will be in favor of. First,

SOUNDWAVE as Scion XB, a remold of Skids

vehicle: midnight blue with yellow/silver lightning detailing that runs the length of the vehicle and forms an odd square on the hood (robot chest).

robot: remolded Soundwave head, white forearms with red stripes, and "play", "stop", "rewind", and "eject" buttons on abdomen. Decepticon symbols on the front passenger and driver side doors.

colors: midnight blue, white, red, yellow, silver, purple, & black.

and the other,

BLITZWING as Ford Mustang, remold of Wheeljack

vehicle: yellow car with two parallel white racing stripes.

robot: purple mid-section, silver sword, remolded Blitzwing head, Decepticon symbols on shoulders, purple and yellow gun.

colors: yellow, white, black, purple, and silver.

and that's it for the dreaded repaints of previously released units.

 

55 Mustang hatchback, 69 Camaro, 72 Vette, Lamborghini Murcielago, VW Beetle, 85 Trans AM, 67 & 2005 GTO, 69 Dodge Charger , Pagani Zonda , Ferrari F40, McLaren F1, Limo, Pinto, 57 Jaguar, 67 Shelby GT fastback (Eleanor), & 33 Ford Roadster

 

Springer as the redeco of Wheeljack would be perfect with the sword

Maybe an Avalanche, Colorado or Silverrado (SS maybe)

wish it would happen love Chevy Trucks hehehe

 

These are the cars I would use. I'd prob make them Runabout and Runamuck.

Runabout - Mazda MX-3

Runamuck - Mazda MX-6
