    Generation toys is a third party transformer company and I created this in hopes that they will find it and listen to the fans such as myself...

    Now I did not create this to start a "no it should be this not that blah blah blah" war I just want to have an honest discussion about it...

    Me personally I would like them to do a take on superion...

    My only problem with Uranos (LOL both urine as in pee and your anus) by TFC toys is just that the hands can't store (and the feet?.. I can't remember if the feet were a separate piece) and I think generation toys did a great job and is doing a great job both on a manufacturing level and their astetics of their devastator as in they actually made it look good and not have the hands partsform like... I can't remember who made it but the third party devastator that came out after TFC toys' take on devastator...

    What are all your thoughts? It'd be interesting to find out :D

    I'd be interested to see their take on Superion or Bruticus. But I'd also be interested to see MakeToys do those two as well.

    Sideswipe. Then Prowl... Streak... Red Alert. Pretty much just run through the whole MP list so far and update the alt modes for the characters.

    Provided, of course, that the J4zz doesn't wind up being made of poo.

    I really dig their IDW stuff, I'm not sure of a specific figure, but prime and megatron have me drooling.

    I like their IDW style, but for my collection certain characters have to be G1. Of the ones I think GT would do would do a good IDW homage to, I'd like to see the following:
    Sky Lynx
    Seaspray
    Cosmos
    Skids
    Runabout
    Runamuck

    And off piste a little bit, but I'd love to see a MP-10 size, well done Straxus.

    For me definitely Superion; not sure why this guy isn't more popular around here, or is that just my impression? Also Bruticus = Warbotron WB-01 - pretty sure we won't see a specific GT version. Same reason you won't see a 'GT' Menasor, since GT ~is TFM. Anyhow, Superion for me.

    Uranos (with upgrades) is my favorite combiner I own.

    I have TW Constructor, Feral Rex, TFC Hercules, Prometheus, UT Ordin and Warbo Bruticus.

    Having no place to store the hands or feet doesn't bother me in the slightest. They're jets - where would they store that stuff? If it were to go inside their bodies, they would be much bulkier and not sleek, like Jets are supposed to be.


    I don't want to see more G1/MP stuff. Market is saturated with the shit, and if IronFactory and MMC are proving anything right now, it's that large chugs and legend sized IDW stuff is doing great and much welcomed.

    I would love the following from MMC, but if GenToys can deliver, then by all means (characters listed are all their IDW counterparts, not G1/198X):

    Windblade, Nautica, Rung, Skids, Nightbeat, (proper) Cyclonus, (proper) Whirl, Megatron, Soundwave, Galvatron, the Scavengers ...

    ....

    Yeah ... Just give me the whole cast. Start with MTMTE and then work through (ex-)RiD.

    After seeing their awesome MP-scaled IDW Prime and Megs, I'm really wanting an MP-scaled IDW Magnus from them. Would look great with TFM's Menasor.

    TFM Menasor will be about Warbo Bruticus/UT Ordin height. He won't be as big as TW Constructor. So if you own Generations/CW Ultra Magnus, he should scale very well.

    Masterpiece UM (which is "MP" sized - obviously right? haha) would look a little odd next to TFM's combiner :) . That's just my opinion though of course. The looking odd next to thing, I mean.

    But yeah! I would love to see more IDW stuff from these guys. They seem to be doing well with their TFM stuff and Gravity Builder :)

    Yeah. I have a complicated relationship (lol) with Getaway. The season finale of MTMTE made me hate him less.

    MMC are giving us a nice Drift (and Wing!) and they will probably retool their Rodimus mold for Getaway.

    I hope!

    X-2 Toys just put up a video of some Insecticons, so they might be IDW based.

    When it comes to scale with combiners I only care about the individual bots, so I'd be perfectly happy them at the MP car to MP Magnus ratio regardless of how the combined mode sizes up. Biiiig no thanks to CW...well anything really :lol . I really look forward to making a display of all this GT/TFM IDW stuff.

    MP scale MTMTE Megatron would be perfect, if they can get the proportions right.

    I want MMC to attempt this as well, though in their Reformatted scale

    Still on the Raiden train, but if it was sufficiently awesome I could be sold on Defensor or Superion. I wasn't in the market for a Menasor, but then TFM smashed that mf impulse buy button. I've already got all my must-haves, so at this point I'm up for cool robots and if they scratch that itch I'll bite.
