That's totally not happening. It's not the joints that stop them from reusing the mould, it's the sheer weight of the thing. US toy safety laws require toys to pass a 'drop test'; to determine if the figure will break if dropped, and if so, whether any potentially harmful remnants will break off. Fort Max has failed this test.

 

Really? It seemed to be mostly pipe dreams for new molds...

I tossed them in at the last minute. Personally, I'd prefer they be club exclusives. After all, the originals were exclusives to one place or another in Japan...

The current club was going to do him, but something is stopping them from letting it happen. I don't know if it's expense, the cost of the new head, the head belonging to the former owner of the club, or what. But they really want to do it...

You know who needs a U.S. figure? Leozack. It's an easy repaint of a seeker with a chest panel and a new head.

All of the Breastforce should have cool new toys but there's no way that name's clearing marketing. Breastplate Force maybe?

 

I think they should re-launch Energon and Cybertron Galvatron, in their actual colors.... in a two-pack.

I'd buy that so fast. But I really want Cybertron Galvatron to get re-issued.

 

G1 'Cons

Shockwave, Reflector Unit, Insecticons


But, tis a pipe dream

 

Reply posters took it upon themselves to turn it into another "who do you want to see in Classics?" thread. Not to harp on anyone, but it'd be nice to see threads follow the original posters thread idea instead of becoming a thread we've had many of.

That would make sense. A three pack would be cool.

It's like RID Hot Spot is cursed

25th Anniversary reissue Shockwave? Hell yes

 

Nah, Leozack's a Jetfire redeco, blates.

 

I want top se proper version of Classics Soundwave, but with a new "look" if you get me. Classics Soundwave just looks so clumsy and I´m sure they could fix him up. Also I want to se Wheeljack.

I highly recommend MP3 Soundwave for Classics if you got the cash. He is a great update.

 

Here is my list.

Tyrannitron (Repaint of Grimlock, With Gun Mode)
Snapdragon (Repaint of Grimlock, With transforming head)
Apeface (Repaint and Remold of Optimal Optimus, With TForming Head)
Predaking (Remold of Tigerhawk)
Razorclaw (Repaint of Ultra Leobreaker)
Divebomb (Repaint of Transmetal Airazor)
Headstrong (Repaint of Transmetal Rhinox)
Rampage (Repaint and Remold of Transmetal Cheetor)
Hot Spot (Repaint of Cybertron Optimus Prime)
Thrust
Ramjet
Dirge
Tigatron (Tiger Remold of TF Universe Cheetor)
Doublecross (Repaint of Cybertron Scourge)
Grotusque (Tech-organic Remold of TF Universe Cheetor)
Shockwave (Repaint of Shockblast)
Blitzwing

 

I'd like to see the Titanium G1 Ultra Magnus figure redone in plastic and released in the Universe Line. In Magnus and Powered Convoy colors.

Even better, make a new Voyager or Ultra-sized mold based off the Titanium figure, and release that one instead.

I'd also like to see the Energon Megatron from the TRU Optimus Prime/Megatron 2-pack repainted into G1 Galvatron colors. And I know he was released that way in Japan, but I'd like a U.S. release in Universe.

And of course we need a G1 Scourge (preferably a new mold) to go with Galvatron and Cyclonus.

Edit:

I almost forgot, we need a Voyager-class Rodimus Prime as well.

Since they gave us a targetmaster, now I wanna see them give us one of the many Headmasters from g1 redone into Classics Universe.. Any Hasbro, just one you know you can do it, you have many to choose from lol.. Or if targetmasters are what they wanna give us, then targetmaster scourge I would love to see standing next to Universe Galvatron and Cyclonus.. (Oh and of course a voyager size Galvatron or Rodimus Prime would rock)

 

Sticking with the OP's ideas:

Bludgeon from Cyb. Unicron (repaint)
Energon Galvatron (direct re-release)
Repaint some of the Cyb. Scouts as G1 Minibots (Shortround -> Seaspray, Swindle -> Beachcomber, Ransack -> Wheelie, etc... there are quite a few to choose from). (repaints)
More of the Galaxy Force Starscream mold (at least into Thundercracker and Skywarp... and Sunstorm)
Energon Rodimus (direct re-release)

That's all I can think of right now.

Fixed.

In a perfect world... this.

 

Still holding out hope for a Doubledealer using the CD Red Alert mold. *sigh*

 

I've got to admit, I could live with another release of Energon Rodimus, either as-is or as a redeco. I didn't really like the fig when it was out, largely due to its ridiculous shirt mode (which I attempted to fix with limited success). But as a standalone fig, it was actually pretty cool, and was limited far less by its need to combine than most of his comrades.

Trouble is with a lot of those, is that most of them are remould or retool jobs. Since we've been told that remould usually work out almost as expensive as new moulds, it seems far more likely that any of these characters would be better off as new moulds, since the remoulds you're suggesting would wind up producing a pretty lacklustre bunch of homages.

The one I do really like out of those is Tigerhawk into Predaking, and frankly I think that could even work as a straight redeco. Might be worth a digibash to see how it looks. Kind of a pity as I recently sold a spare Tigerhawk for far less than I wanted...

By the way, redecoing TM Airazor into Divebomb doesn't seem too sensible, due to the... er... chest detailing.   You'd want a remould for that at least.
