    Armada Scavenger with actual legs would be nice.

    I could stand behind a new PM Prime. I mean, think about it, we're getting Hot Shot, not because we wanted it, but because one of the guys in charge has regrets about a particular figure. I'm positive that the fandom as a whole would be better served by a new Powermaster Prime.

    Yeah, whoever said Alternators Megatron has got it right. It's a travesty that they stopped the line after they already designed it. What a wasted opportunity.

    It'd be cool to see maybe Armada Starscream, Armada Megatron, Bludgeon, and I'd really love to see an updated Dinobot. He could really use a remake, I like the original, but still, if they can do it for Hot Shot, I think a new Dinobot would look awesome.

    A redone Armada Starscream and Megs would be the best thing ever. And a redone Prime would be a good thing.

    Personally, most of the later BW tpoys were spot-on and don't need redoing. Dinobot could use an Update I admit, though. A redone or reissue TM Megs would rock all of my socks.

    As much as I would love a new Sky-byte, the old one's pretty much perfect and there's no room for improvement.

    Armada Starscream is a must to for a re-built toy and God Jinrai/Power Master optimus Prime would be a dream if they can make a toy %50 as it appears on Masterforce Cartoon.


    The G1 Dinobots would a cool idea too!

    "transformer toys with design flaws for 100 alex"

    what is rid prowl - missles and the missle clips could be designed to be sping loaded and secured, front section I felt was flawed because mine rubs on the front wheels for no reason.

    what is machine wars soundwave- taken from another more expensive line that involved laser sights that "blast" targets electronicly that was removed in the transformers figure. Repainted in universe but could benefit from a larger size class, new articulation, and working electronics of some kind like a red light in the scope.

    while powermaster prime is on the table I wonder if articulated pretender shells could be produced with new figures. especially a new bludgeon.

    Articulated pretender shells.

    Oh I can't believe I forgot this one!

    G1 Soundwave-The Classics one was a reissue....and that doesn't count for most of us, Titanium was left on shelf a lot by most of us. I don't know about you guys, but I keep my Classics seperate from my G1 reissues. Sure there is a connection, but lets face it, they are from different series. Besides, who doesn't want an updated Soundwave? Ipod Soundwave is expensive to bring over. We are getting a new Ravage that fits into G1 Soundwave, but how about a new Soundwave, fully articulated, that can fit both old and new tapes? BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!!!!!

    Beast Wars Rhinox-The transmetal versions are nice, and don't necessarily need updating. The first one however, does. There is just something off about that one.

    Instead of listing any and every random character I want to see get an update, I'm actually going to list things I think deserves an update due to being an iconic character but not getting a proper toy out of it.

    And to start off, we'll go with the two biggest names.

    Powermaster Prime, with fully transforming and articulated trailer Armor. He was the first Prime to do that and I think it's worth doing it again. He should be an Ultra with his normal bot mode being a big Voyager and his trailer armor pumping him up to full size.

    G2 Megatron, with a more realistic color scheme and full posability. As the first Megatron to actually have a useful(imo) alt mode, this guy was an awesome concept. But the toy was a brick. He'd also need to be an Ultra sized toy.

    BW Dinobot. The original was as show accurate as the original Cheetor toy, and being one of the most memorable characters from the show I think he deserves a new deluxe.

    Armada Starscream. Although a vastly different character then his namesake he was still one that left an impression on all those who were fans of the show. In essence he was an all new character with an older name, but he was still one that stood out. This guy could be done in a deluxe with ease.

    I'd like to see an update of the Transformers Big-Wheel. This time, instead of being a kiddie tricycle with a flip-up face, it'll be a full-scale Harley trike with rocket launchers on either side for your rush hour traffic convenience.

    BW: Dinobot
    BM: Megatron
    CR/RiD: Any one of the Car Bros.
    Armada: Starscream

    Energon and Cybertron are probably too recent as they are.
