Whats the best theme they can do for future Botcon and Club exclusives?

Well, it's not about people having issues with one or the other - it's about the amount of people who have issues with one or the other. Yes, I've read the odd comment criticizing fp for making classics... But I've read hundreds of posts that are fed up with shattered glass, which to me makes it clear that Classics is a better way to go.

Having said that, I think that you have to forst look at what molds are available, and then go from there. You can't just take any mold, repaint it and call it classics/Diaclone and expect it to be a smash hit (especially not if you paint on things that should have been molded...like ducks)

Also, if you do make one of those then stay true to the original design. Peoples biggest problem with Ultra magnus for example was his face. And yes, the color of the emblem does matter.

That would be freaking awesome....

Scramble City!

Or Stormbringer.

Design their own toys. No more repaints. Start with something small like headmasters and targetmasters.

Transtech.

Start with a BotCon set and use that new online Figure Sub to release more characters over the year.

I hope you're willing to pay $300 for one toy...

Webdiver. Re-release Galleon, Daedalion, and Wyverion.

For a targetmaster/headmaster? hahaha no. Same price or less than the ones that are already making them.

Make it a combiner, I'll think about it.

But yeah Botcon = repaint = warm pile of shit.

I think a Diaclone/Mircorchange/E-Hobby based-set would be great too. If they have to be "Shattered Glass" to fit into the story that's fine, nothing some reprolabel faction stickers can't take care of. Some suggestions...

Blue Bluestreak - legendary figure!
Black Ironhide - triple homage to Diaclone/Shattered Glass and the movie
Hauler (Grapple) - those Constructicon colors never looked so good on a non-Decepticon
Magnificus (Perceptor) - Evil Genius! Would need a new head with sinister monocle!
Detritus (Hound) - Evil Junkion! Ravage could be repainted blue for Howlback of the Decepticon Cobalt Sentries.
Clampdown (Red Alert) - the mold is fresh and ready!
