    As I looked thru my collection, I realized that I have a lot of figures with some additional parts or improved replacements just like the new head for generations Metroplex for example or the new hands for MP-10 or the MP Datsun brothers.
    I wish, some parts I would like to have, will be made in the future.
    Maybe some 3rd party manufacturer will read this and produce something.

    I would like to see:
    - Improved and more articulated hands for generations Metroplex.
    With the originals he can't even make a real fist.
    - longer forearms and a bigger chest plate for maketoys Giant or a G1 looking head (but crazy devys head works also for Giant)
    - a part to cover the screws on Cronos or a replacement nose with landing gear.

    Any other suggestions or wishes?

    i know he's not out yet but id like to a see a briefcase for the voyager brainstorm

    a helmet head and hookhand for AOE deluxe lockdown

    and i think a generic WFC and FOC weapon packs to fit 5mm pegholes. i have way too many tfs in my collection without guns.

    and one thing ive been wanting for awhile would be a deluxe or small voyager sized longhaul does bot and dumptruck but also can break apart into add on parts to make a more flushed out more articulated classics devastator. superion and bruticus got 3p upgrades but wheres the devy love??

    I want someone to make a hook hand, a new head with an eyepatch, a flintlock pistol, and maybe even two Cutlasses for Prime: Thundertron.

    Oh yeah, and maybe a proper parrot that the paw can be combined with.

    Generic deluxe/voyager weapons pack. Nothing gimmicky, just plain moulded weapons. Mostly guns.

    I would just like a replacement parts Store, like LEGO uses. It would be fantastic to be able to order replacement hands, weapons, and heads for fixing broken figures OR kitbashing without having to buy a whole figure to cut apart for that specific thing that you need to transplant. (A catalog from the last ten or so years would be a dream come true, maybe even older if the figures are still popular enough.)

    3rd party is not ready for something like that yet, but Hasbro's TF branch could probably put this together.

    3rd party add-ons usually come when a need arises from a certain current figure on the market, but yeah, a simple gun or melee weapons pack for 5mm or plug in hands would be nice.

    This, definitely. I'd love to see something like Reprolabels, but for replacement parts...especially if it could produce reproductions of parts for older figures. With the cost of 3D printing coming down, we might be getting closer to it.

    This is something I'd like to see too, although it would probably need to be more than just an arm replacement. Given how much that arm contributes to Shockblast's alt modes, a replacement would need to include some extra parts to give the figure better alt modes too.

    Better hands and a slightly larger head for masterpiece grimlock, of course the new hands would require new adapters for the weapons.

    A cheap/cheaper 3rd party ark diorama stage for masterpieces, the igear one is pricey and crap. Even partial display parts sold separately to expand upon, with basic wall boards and floor tiles being cheap and detailed panels or furniture (operating bed, tool desk weapon storage, scanners and teletraan 1) being slightly more. This is my top priority.

    I would love masterpiece targetmasters like the one that came with rodimus..... lots of these in varying styles would be cool.


    3rd party figures that don't cost 3x (or higher) the going Hasbro rate for the same scale, they shouldn't need fixing straight out of the box, after buying for £100 and up.

    Also an end to 3rd party upgrades, to 3rd party figures a week after release....... Just give them good heads weapons and hands before selling........I don't need a £20 head and £50 weapon for a £170 figure purchase.

    I would love for a third party company to make some sweet thrones for MP Megatron, MP King Grimlock and small one for Generations Darkmount. I also hope that they concentrate on making flight stands/or regular stands that sre for transformers specific based on size classes(MP, Voyager, Deluxe etc...

    I'd like a set of parts that would make the AoE Dino toy look more screen accurate without disturbing the transformation...

    I was thinking new upper arm/bicep that clips on where the only gun did, lower arm ending a the small gun barrel like g1 did, then for alt mode am attachment that goes over the lower arm that looks like the end of g1 shockwave gun mode (hexagon type thing), the attachment itself could store on his back in robot mode, there two little rectangular holes in his tank treads back there.

    If I could design in 3d myself worth a damn I'd have tried to get it made myself already, it 4 to 6 parts maximum.

    A harpoon hand for FoC Impactor. He could just hold it in his hand with things on the sides to hide the actual hand.

    Has i said in another post... I would want a "KIT" that would transform g1 Sludge into Paddles:

    - New dino/rotob legs/fins like the MF-02 Paddle from Mechaform (Robot arms are really well incorporated into the front fins)
    - New Robot head
    - New rifle and sword

    .. and possibly a new dino head to have a longer neck... but this would not be a big deal, toher parts are more crucial

    I'd also like kits to give DotM deluxe Roadbuster and HA Leadfoot their "brute force" car modes. And a kit to give AoE Drift his helicopter mode.
