    I've kind of migrated to only preferring voyagers now instead of deluxes. I feel like it gives Hasbro more freedom to design a better figure. I'm seeing more designs now that would have benefited from being a voyager rather than a deluxe.

    I'd like a voyager Hardhead, Hauler (easy repaint/remold), Hosehead, and Sky Lynx

    Dude, did you just look up names of characters who didn't have recent toy updates or something?

    Because some of the toys you think need to exist include characters so freakin' obscure they weren't even named until a few years ago. "Aligned" Moonracer doesn't even have a physical description so how can she get a toy when nobody knows what she even looks like in the first place? Or "G2 Nightracer" who Hasbro can't make due to the problem of the 1995 Botcon fiction characters being in some kind of derivative work limbo (which means Hasbro possibly doesn't even own the rights to the character in full).

    And then two different Trypticons? I'm at a loss as to how you could even think people would be willing to pay about $250 simply to have two different versions of the exact same guy. Especially since Metroplex's Titan is not the FoC design anyway.

    Galvatron, Ironhide and Ratchet are the only ones I can think of that really need updates at this point.

    The Seekers would be nice, but I know I'll never see releases of all the official, bootlegs and Botcon/Club releases that are on my shelf right now.

    Ooh, so many I'd like to see...

    The big ones I want, though (emphasis on big) are all Leader-class: Sixshot, Overlord and the rest of the Seekers to go along with the Thundercracker we're getting. A voyager Impactor would be nice, too, and I wouldn't say no to a new version of Rotorstorm. Oh, and a new deluxe Ravage based on his Alternators form, with a (fictional version of a) Jaguar turning into a jaguar. I'd rather like that, please. ;) 

    I'd also sell my soul for a nice big Thunderwing (complete with IDW super-mode, naturally)...

    Longest list possibly but not the only long list, yet you single out just the one list...no didn't have to look up what I'd like to see made, I already know what I'd like to see done, don't you...does obscurity mean I'm not alot to want it, I wasn't aware...Moonracer is a case of me hearing something of her being a heli- in Aligned cont., a femmebot I want in a non cycle alt is a plus regardless...even still lI'l just say heli- Moonracer instead of "Aligned" is that better...if Nightracer was cleared to be in FP fiction its a good chance a figure can be made, if not doesn't mean I can't want her or the name can't be changed...Trypticon is me thinking two birds with one stone by remolding a figure to get extra usage out of it...if it works Neo-G1 & FOC fans win...leader Megatron/Armada Megatron & Jetfire/Thundercracker cater to different crowds mostly...some choices are not personal wants but still would be cool...anything else officer...

    You're saying you want fembots from that one episode of G1 that never transformed and memorized their names? Call me skeptical, but I find that hard to believe you seriously want toys of characters who also happen to have only been named in recent years all in convention script readings.

    Uh, no, obscurity means you're saying characters who barely exist in the franchise deserve more attention than characters who are more important I.E. "Greenlight" needs a toy before a proper Punch/Counterpunch that isn't a retooled Lambo Twin.

    Moonracer's alt. mode is, as far as I can tell, unspecified, and you always should take rumors with a grain of salt.

    FP didn't exist in 1995, so they have nothing to do with Nightracer's legal issues. And those issues go into the character itself, not just the name, and who owns it. A name change is not going to solve that problem.

    And FOC isn't G1...how? Titan Metroplex exists because of FOC, but he isn't FOC in the least beyond being a tall white city-bot. And I can guarantee you more people will be pissed off with only a FOC Trypticon than a more ambiguous G1 update.

    No they don't, it's the same people buying them because they're different characters. Your Trypticon thing is the opposite: two versions of the same character.

    Not trying to be rude, here, but it's one thing to wish for something, and another to just randomly wish for things and then try to justify it by saying it's what other people want.

    You must be having a bad day...this is a wishlist thread...cause you aren't aware of certain characters don't make them any less wanted...I said most of the figures are what I'd wish for...others like RID & BW stuff would be cool to see as collectors of those lines often feel short changed and just because I don't collect a line doesn't mean I can't appreciate it...Nightracer has appeared in FPs fiction...just because you're unaware doesn't mean it didn't happen ( http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Nightracer_(G2) )...I'm aware as most are that some consider G1, FOC, IDW the same while others do not, therefore if a neo-G1 Trypticon could actually be retooled by H/T/T and thats what they wanted then they'd do regardless of you or I wanting or not...and the same if they didn't...how is one leader Megatron being retooled into another leader Megatron different...femmes are whats hot now...I've wanted that squad of femmes since forever...almost any thread that talks about wishlist I'm wishing for femmes...

    *Insert touching music*

    Cade: Even if you have no faith in Hasbro/Takara. I'm asking you to do what I do. I'm asking you to look through all the junk and see the treasure. You gotta have faith Hound89. In what Hasbro/Takara can be. There is still a chance for an awesome Sixshot. You just have to have faith.
