    I'd say some of the early combiner teams, but that demand is sort of being met...just not by Hasbro et al.

    That being said, I think Blitzwing and Trailbreaker are in the highest demand out of all the standalone characters. They're probably the most sensible and realistic as well.

    While most of the fandom wants an updated trailbreaker, I would like an updated blitzwing more.

    I'm most interested in new dinobots at this point, and a g1 looking Skyfire.

    Also that shitty movie one repaint of the Cybertron Mudflap toy does not count. He deserves the best, for the future.

    What I think most people WONT realize is most of their "WANTS" have been updated! Just not in the style or size they wanted it in... deal with it! You got your update, everybody's wants are different! obviously what Hasbro wants to design and what you wants is different, Oh well! cant be helped, Arcee is going to be a Motorcycle from now on, bikes are smaller and slimmer therefore less bulk when transformed.. I mean I'll do a short list of TF's that I've seen on these lists that HAVE been updated..
    Guzzle- got one he was a tank, short and stocky= update!
    Galvatron- yah admittedly he sucked but he WAS made..=Update albeit cheaply
    Rodiums-..um classics AND MP what more do you want?!= Update!
    Blitzwing- ANIMATED! Transformered into a jet AND tank! AND a robot aka Bliztwing= Updated!
    Skyquake- WHile not out yet, he will be in PRIME if you don't like Primes style..TOUGH!= Update!
    Shockwave/Soundwave/Arcee- Done in Cartoon forms AND movie, both being criteria for an..Update!

    Boy these wish list are getting really old! Come on people just because someone didn't get made the way YOU wanted Doesn't mean It DIDN'T get made.

    There are too many for me to list, but my main one would be Shockwave. He needs an update all around.

    Then ignore the posts. We'll all be happier that way.
    And if the update was not to someone's liking, that means that person still believes that character needs an update. Perfectly valid.

    These sound good. A set of five Dinobots, updating the G1 characters, in at least the Voyager-size class, is badly needed imho.
    We also need Shockwave, Blitzwing, and a new Voyager-or-Ultra Galvatron as well.
