How about all the other Primes to appear in different on screen continuities as Primals. Rodimus Primal: I actually tried to do a custom of this but never finished it. A cheetah. He'd be a straight repaint of TM Cheetor. Omega Primal: B'Boom with a new head and a little bit of red paint apps in robot mode would make a great Ultra Magnus. Then just figure out how to get him to combine with Optimus Primal. Vector Primal: I'm thinking... a 3 headed Hydra, probably BWII Galvatron with two extra heads. Would give him his "cape" in robot mode with that mold too. Sentinel Primal: A tick... you know why... Solus Primal: Hawk just because I think TM Airrazor would look good as Solus Prime. Nemesis Primal: Well obviously a black ape. Longarm Primal: A rhino. Sort of a reverse reference because the cannon on the Mega class Tankor toy looks like Shockwave's cannon. Tankor is Rhinox so there for Shockwave must be a rhino. Megatronus Primal: Have you seen Predaking in Beast Hunters... yeah that's him. Maybe just give him a different head and change the orange to green so he looks even more like the Fallen then he already does. And just for the hell of it here are some other characters as beasts. Metroplex... not exactly a beast but if Botanica counts as a beast former Metroplex would be an entire forest. Override: Hawk... making fun of the fact that both her and Airazor are male in Japan. Evac: Basset Hound, I think that's what their called. He'd be complete with a barrow of water hanging around his neck in beast mode. You know a rescue dog, to go with his name. RATchet: Enough said. Bulkhead: Hippo Cliffjumper: A Bumblebee to keep with the being a repaint of Bumblebee them. Though that doesn't really JUMP so coyote? No that's more like Clifffaller. (Yes I just made a Looney Toons reference.) OK Frog, final answer. Smokescreen: Skunk. Seekers: Eagles Soundwave: Bat Omega Supreme: Lio Jazz: Bat Blurr: Cheetah (retooled from TM Cheetor so he actually looks like Blurr and probably with the spike on the weapon sticking up in beast mode.) Tracks: Cheetah (Again TM Cheetor, that mold just reminds me of so many different characters. Cheetor's thrusters of course would be repainted to match Track's original wings which is why I choose this mold.) Sideswipe: Fox or raccoon. Wheeljack: TM Megatron retool. Reference to building the Dinobots and also makes it so his name still makes sense. Skyfire: Phoenix Wreck-Gar: Goat because they eat garbage. Breakdown: Bear Mirage: Chameleon Tidal Wave: Whale Onslaught: Hydra Barricade: Beaver... a dam is a barricade.
I think Shockwave should only be one eyed in robot mode... unless it's a Transmetal design or the beast face is molded with scar tissue where the second eye should have been as if his other eye had been clawed out of the socket.
Okay my idea for a few. Pardon for me nerding out here, but here's almost the entire G1 crew as Beastformers. Optimus Primal--Ape Bumblebee--Bumblebee Dart Frog Cliffjumper---Chamois Hound--Wolfhound Mirage--Snow Leapord Hoist--Okapi Grapple--Giraffe Perceptor--Slow Loris Ratchet--Badger Chromedome--Ruff Lemur (red and white variant that is) Ironhide--Giant Armodilo Blaster--Binturong (no cassettes) Inferno--Red Wolf Powerglide--Yellow Bellied Glider Tracks--Serval Red Alert--Yellow Mongoose Wheeljack--Aardwolf Prowl--Bat Eared Fox Sideswipe--Fisher Sunstreaker--Yellow Throated Marten Blustreak--Blanford's Fox Jazz--Otter Brawn--Brazilian Tapir The Dinobots: Grimlock (Bengal Tiger), Swoop (Flying Fox), Slag (Guar), Snarl (Musk Deer) and Sludge(Hippo) Omega Supreme as a African Elephant Gears--Pangolin Huffer--Hyrax Windcharger--Jackrabbit Aerialbots--Silverbolt (Harpy Eagle), Air-raid (Osprey), Fireflight (Kestrel), Skydive (Comororant) amd Slingshot (Peregrine Falcon) Jetfire--Albatross Seaspray--Sea Lion Warpath--Grizzly Whirl (for fun)--Shoebilled Stork Blurr--Cheetah Springer--Kangaroo that also can turn into a Kookabura Smokescreen--Spotted Skunk Ultra Magnus--Polar Bear Protectobots--Hotspot (Thylacine), Groove (Tamandua), First Aid (Ring-Tailed Mongoose), Streetwise (Anteater) and Blades (Porcupine) Kup--Babirusa Wheelie--Fawn Hopping Mouse Broadside--A Killer Whale that also transforms into a Teratorn Whew.....now for the Decepticons!
Oh I had this idea to take the Animated gimmick for Blitzwings to some pretty major extremes. He actually uses the same head in all 3 modes. That head has 3 faces, one for each beast mode and his robot face. He switches between his 3 faces no matter what mode he's actually in. I'm not sure a bull and a vulture would work for this. Need a land animal and a flying animal that could work easily with a rotating face gimmick. Perhaps a Lion and an owl. They also seem to go well with the personalities associated with his land and air modes. Owl, the intelligent logical one. Lion, the angry aggressive one. Yup his disguise would be perfect... till his face flips around.
So it's Easter... Stampy didn't bring any eggs. Of course he wouldn't he's a rabbit. Rabbits don't lay eggs. The only egg laying mammal is a platypus. Has anyone made the realization that the platypus must be a real life fuzor yet? Obviously they're robots who scanned ducks and beavers at the same time. Or maybe it's just one robot who can clone himself. Either way all I want to know is Maximal or Predacon?
Meta, Meta, Meta....must we be so broad on the topic, Echidnas do come in two seperate species after all......short-nosed and long-nosed, both being completley different in appearences. Or an Otter........ As for Pereceptor (Nemi).......I'm thinking along the lines of a Slow Loris....but a Red Panda would hysterically cute/cool with Perceptor's FOC Voice.
Oh hush, Autoboticon, they're still both monotremes at the end of the day TFP again! Cliffjumper is a kangaroo. Why? Because bouncy-bouncy PWNAGE! Laserbeak is a fly. He are fly on the wall :3 The Vehicons are rabbits. There's so darn many of them!
What kind of Kangaroo? Red, Gray or Tree? What kind of Fly, there are a hundred species you know? Rabbit? Out of the 14 species, which one? HEHEHEEEEE!!!
Well great now I keep picturing a red panda with tiny glasses a la Animated Perceptor. As if I needed another reason to love the Red Panda. Keeping the TFP train rolling Shockwave as an elephant Knockout as a cat Breakdown as a Rhino
i see soundwave as a bat, Rumble (per Movie-verse) a rhino, Frenzy a Monkey, Starscream an eagle, hell the seekers as eagles, and my favorite, wheeljack, as a velociraptor (hope i spelled that right)
