    Well, since the toyline is currently having a Post-season 3 love affair, and we recently found out that Hasbro's willing to use the classic "Sparking gimmick" in toys, who'd be willing to buy Deluxe sized Monsterbot updates? I'll admit, I've never been big on the 87-90 Line, but they always had pretty interesting designs that weren't really given justice by the technology limitations of the time.

    Make them, then make some Fuzor retools. WIN-WIN!

    Very much yes.

    Even if they end up being retools of CW Terrocons, or Fuzors, or...Well, Headmasters wouldn't be too bad.

    probably on phase 3 after Titans Return, we'll get the rest of the G1 characters.

    Hasbro could call 2017 "Monster Mayhem".

    Especially since Trypticon is coming out that year as well.

    That's where my money is right now. Phase 3 of the Prime Wars will be beast themed, giving us:

    Predaking
    Piranhicon
    Dinobots
    Monsterbots
    Sixshot
    Quickswitch

    and Titan Trypticon

    and Beast Era repaints.

    I would be "All For That",but instead of Deluxes they should be Voyager Size since the new protocol is now smaller with higher prices I think the Monsterbots deserve to be bigger since figures nowadays have shrunk.

    I just hope Hasbro decides to do these like in the TR Line in the next year or so I would buy all 3.Oh and if they do make them I hope they could somehow give them articulation in the wings (for Doublecross and Grotusque I mean),oh and I would not be opposed if they made these Headmasters or Titans as they are called now,basically trade one gimmick for another (which for me I always like Headmasters,any of them).

    "Deserves" is a loaded word.

    I'd rather they do the Monster bots in a scale that would allow for the best mix of playability and look. Example: If Titans Returns voyagers all need a third mode...I'd prefer they make the Monsters deluxe so they can focus on a great beast mode rather than a half-assed beast that can also make a believable tank or something.

    Wouldn't mind them...might not buy...would consider if gun/weapon or accessories held the sparking gimmick as opposed to the actual figure...
