    I agree with whoever said Stormbringer Thunderwing!!!!

    But I think we can all agree on this next one:

    War Within/Stormbringer Trypticon!!! :rock 

    Obviously both in either leader or supreme class.

    It would rock to see Don Figeuroas' Cybertronian designs for the Predacons and Razorbeast:) D) from The Gathering made into figures. :rock

    War Within Optimus Prime-quite possibly the most anticipated Titanium figure, but ultimately fell short. The character design and aesthetic was loved, the actual figure was not. Most of us can do without the "titanium" aspect, in favor of durable plastic construction, full articulation, and better interlocking/securing mechanisms. Ditch the metal, have the TF design team do this one over, and I think we have a winner and definitive WWI Prime.

    An updated Sixshot, and a nice set of updated combiners, I know Hasbro isn't all down with it at all but if this is for the fans, it would only make sense would be rad as hell. I agree that Alternators Megatron would rock though!

    I agree! :thumb  I also second the notion of combiners. And the Energon guestalts were ugly... they dropped the ball on those.

    I personallly think for the 25th anniversary. They should give a poll on who's the best three Autobots/Maximals as well as the top three Decepticons/Predacons/Vehicons of each series and redo and release them with an episode featuring them. That's what I would call a 20th anniversary line.

    I agree with the guy who mentioned Transtech Starscream. I'd love to see one of the Transtech figures finally released.

    Definitely agree on Scavenger. He needs actual legs.

    Armada Sideways-The figure was ultimately dissapointing and looked weird in robot mode. His headmaster heads were huge. Great concept, compromised execution.

    Armada Overload-Could have been the greatest headmaster since Fortress Maximus, unfortunately this guy was a brick. He's got it all, solid playability aside combining gimmick, combining gimmick, and 3 mode transformation.

    Armada Cyclonus-One of the mainstay Decepticons in Armada, his articulation sucked. He looked awesome in the Dreamwave comics, especially the one that came with him, where it shows his use of his minicon. His minicon gimmick was one of the best, and while that, nor the minicon, nor the vehicle mode need changing, the figure itself would be better off redone.

    Energon Shockblast-This guy was a deadringer for a modernized Shockwave, but what was a letdown was a lack of an elbow joint on his gun arm. Another dissapointment was the obvious give visual cues in his alt modes that made it clear he could transform. Maybe the gun-arm was overkill and a bit too long.

    I still find Armada very fun, and in light of how financially successful it was, it had some superb toyetic ideas that were hampered by a lower-than-usual budget.

    I'd love to see them give those guys proper articulation and less gimmicked designs.

    However, I'd also like to see this take on Armada Megatron used for something.

    I mean, holy cats.

    bludgeon or sixshot would be awesome. Shockwave instead of shockblast with those highheels on.

    Hasbro said they would'nt do a new sixshot because of the gun mode. And how difficult it was to run classics megatron through the legal department.

    I guess you could do so if someone can come up with a sixth mode that is'nt a gun. I'm happy with energon six shot though. It may not have six modes but I just assume that the name is in reference to the serperateing effect of the cannon.
