wouldn't it make more sense if Punch was Tf2 Spy and Mirage the James Bond spy?

why is silverstreak Nick fury?

I will never understand the brain of a fangirl.

That said, these pie-in-the-sky want lists are hilarious (Especially the combiners: that's what Power Core Combiners are for!) But hey, if the show lasts the projected five years, who knows where they'll go with it?

Just don't expect them to look as G1 as you'd like, I'll warn you right now.

I heard that in the end of Exodus, Megatron chooses an elite team to leave with him.

I'd certainly like that team to show up for continuity sake.

Anybody got a list of the people he chooses?

Starscream, Soundwave and Lugnut were named. This is all I can scrape up from the TFWiki right now.

Oh LUGNUT would definetely be a good choice!

Sprocket · 07-24-2010, 01:22 PM

So long as he's a fanatical cult follower and not the dumb lug Exodus painted him to be.

Ok, so I wouldn't have any BW or other Transformers that transformed into organic alt modes. Thus, no Blacharachnia, Grimlock in T-Rex form, Waspinator, etc. I would also combine personality traits of various TFs because some of the earlier ones were extremely one-dimensional personalities.

Autobots:

Hound: He would be the environmentalist/pacificst/philosophical one. The personality would be a mix of G1 Hound and G1 Beachcomber. I would also make him less of a hippie and more like a badass Druid. When you get under his skin enough - he becomes enraged. Would be a good twist. Also, since he is a "protector"/defensive type - I would give him Trailbreaker's forcefield ability along with his hologram ability. Obviously would be a great tracker.

Prowl: I would kinda keep him like his logical self but build more around it. Pure logic would be really a boring peronality. I would want Prowl to use logic to set up the rules, but also know that its breaking the rules and approaching the situation from different angles that sometimes is the winning move. He would visualize the enemy as a giant chessboard and be able to plan contingencies 10 moves ahead ad-libbing on the fly. Kinda like Shikamaru from Naruto. A very observant bot.

Sunstreaker - this is the weapon/fighter dude. You could go different ways with him here. The noble BW Silverbolt or the ego-maniacal IDW Sunstreaker/BW Dinobot. You could even have him switch sides a couple of times as the ego-maniacal one. You could also have him make more extreme of BW's Dinobot's honor and make him almost Klingon or Windcharger from Out of the Dead Land in the Funnies section.

Mirage - agreed with the gender change to a female. She should be a blend of G1 Mirage and G1 Tracks. A snooty, bratty, high bred noble who might doubt the cause she is fighting for. However, she is one of the best marksmen of all TFs. Arcee could be the motherly type like Athena (wisdom) while Mirage would be like an Artemis.

Wheeljack - I would combine him with Perceptor and Nightbeat. This is the true nerd of the group. Inventor, scientist, detective. This is the guy that knows how stuff works. You could also throw in that he has knowledge about mystical stuff like the Allspark, Matrix, Vector Sigma, Golden Discs, etc. I would make him a young nerd though.

Jazz/Blurr - The fast cool type. Purely for entertainment value.

Brawn - Mix of G1 Brawn, G1 Ironhide, G1 Kup, Animated Ratchet, and Out of the Dead Land Silverstreak. Obviously would be a grizzled veteran - just not an OLD grizzled veteran. This guy is based off the personality of Out of the Dead Land Silverstreak. The one with the biggest ALT mode and the biggest guns.

Old Man Brawn nice with personality of a fan charather.

Oh I'd also like to see Swindle as the leader of a lost Decepticon and AUtobot group, kinda like how he showed up in the IDW comics recently.

You kow what I was wrong. Never mind most of the BW homages were characters who's technorganic states were treated as infections that seems to reflect how the fandom feels in general about the Beast Era. Or line really.

You know what I've changed my mind. We don't need the Beast Era in Prime. What characters I'd like to see are TOY REPLICAS ON THE SHELVES I CAN BUY.

Please give this a toyline, Hasbro, please! I haven't cried Rruined FOREVAR yet but this may make me!
