    Yeah I'm going there because I do like some of the Movie toys like others here.

    What are your hopes for the Fifth movie toyline.

    Personally I'd like to see Ratbat. I've been hoping for a movie Ratbat since Revenge of the Fallen. Probably a better Drift mold as in Springer repaint/retool as well.

    In the way of recurring characters, Triple-changing Drift and a better Leader Optimus would make me happy. Possibly a version of Hound with more of a gut, and definitely a Leader Galvatron. Maybe this time release the Dinobots in movie accurate color schemes.

    As for new characters, give me some more combiners and some Insecticons. Maybe even Movie-verse Predacons.

    I hope that it is a good line but I won't get distracted by it too much.

    I'm kidding. My hopes are:

    A reasonably movie accurate Leader Optimus that is a marked improvement over the prior with more part integration/hiding and less kibble hanging here and there.

    A fatter Hound, possibly a Leader. I would like to see it be about as clean as the current Voyager (which I'll keep, I'm not waiting to get in Dr. Wu Mercenary for no reason) and A nice, movie accurate face would be pleasant, along with a well articulated head.

    A Crosshairs with a better trench coat and vehicle colors. A black and blue Drift.

    More Decepticons, maybe even generics that come in different colors in different waves to help pad out an army. Why not off screen ones here and there?

    If the Creators are toy worthy and revealed, toys of them.

    I wouldn't mind if they cut down on 1-step Changers simply because they shelf warm out here. If they could keep the more advanced figures distinct from the younger aimed product package wise, that'd be great.

    I'd settle for the entire onscreen cast getting into the mainline

    Long shot, but I'd like to return to ROTF-level engineering. A huge part of the reason I like these toys is because they're kinda like puzzles.

    ●More Decepticons
    ●A focus on deluxes, voyager, and Leader class
    ●Less focus on 1-step and power battler style stuff
    ●Return of legends and commander class perhaps.
    ●More non-movie characters as toys...they have made some neat non-movie stuff before...
    ●A return of the ultra size class, if it suits a character...and maybe that would make the leader class larger...

    Everything from the film itself, in as accurate a color scheme as possible. Dinobots all being gunmetal and black was kind of dumb - I understand that they're not going to be as vibrant as the toys but it's annoying for us to buy red and black and orange and green dinosaurs and the colors are not even remotely close. We had crazily colored Constructicons in ROTF, why is it so hard to do that for other films?

    Also: get out your impressive / new designs first, focus on rehash or repeat characters like Optimus later. You want to sell toys? Give us *new* toys. And most of all:

    A WHOLE LINE'S WORTH OF DECEPTICONS!

    I really don't want an ROTF feel; DOTM or HFTD feel's what I want (cept for Leaders assuming ROTF Leader Prime quality isn't too much to ask for nowadays.)
    Anyway I really want them to avoid gorilla arms. I'm like the only person who actually likes Dinobot Slash but the gorilla arms are his biggest flaw.
    I'm pretty sure we all want higher screen accuracy.
    More villains for sure.

    Well obviously stuff that gathers my interest but...

    More Decepticons, come on their doing this with RiD Warriors a bit they can do so with the movieline.

    Non-Movie Characters, Hot Shot was awesome but not enough I want to expand the movie universe on my shelf!

    No Optimus Prime's, we saw him blast off into space in AOE so unless he has some role in the new movie (if we're sticking with an Earth setting) keep him out. Same with Dinobots, keep them out if their not in the movie.

    Thats basically it, I could careless about ROTF quality cause I loved the AOE Generations and hope they stick with it.

    It'd be nice to get a new Hound, maybe a black and blue Drift this time but I could careless if it triple changes its no biggey, and thats it.

    I'd like to see the USS Zumwalt put in an appearance in some way but that's probably asking too much.

    If Optimus is in the movie, then a Voyager of match the current design to go with Battle Blades and Evasion.

    If he's not, I guess better Leaders? Except for Leaders the Generations side of AoE was par for the course with current Generations. I don't really care if they make more or less of the kid focused stuff, because they ended up releasing no less of the Generations-quality product then they normally would for a line that lasted that long, and when it finished, we went straight into CW and RiD.

    Alright I'm adding one: I want a bus transformer. As far as I can tell that's an alt mode that's never been touched. If ROTF could give us an icecream truck, TF5 can give us a bus.
    Odd as this sounds I actually liked Leader Optimus more than Generations Jetfire. For some reason it feels a tad heftier and I do like that the ankles tilt.

    Leader Galvatron, Voyager Scorn, several new Decepticons, a few non Decepticon bad guys.

    Honestly, I think the AOE line (and the movie as well) get far too much hate. Evasion Optimus, Hound, and most of the Dinobots are excellent. Galvatron is way underrated. Even some of the Power Battlers and One Steps aren't bad.

    I just wish there wasn't an ugly Crosshairs repaint in Hot Shot and a few more Deluxe Decepticons, and that Galvatron and Lockdown had gotten a Leader and Voyager, respectively. Remove Hot Shot and Deluxe Lockdown and add Hasbro Deluxe versions of Stinger, Steeljaw, and another KSI Decepticon or two and it would have been better.

    Not fussed so long as it doesn't get in the way and cause an early cancellation of better lines/shows. Yes I still want a fourth season of Animated
