    My wants list is mostly characters who have plenty of versions out already, but not a good IDW version, which is what I'm looking for:

    -Chromedome
    -Rewind
    -Whirl (I realise getting a good, actually transforming toy out of this design is basically impossible, but some 3P designers seem to be actual wizards)
    -Cyclonus (though FT Quietus looks like it's going to fill this particular gap)
    -Ratchet
    -First Aid
    -Pharma
    -Brainstorm (Yeah, the T30 / Legends voyager ones are decent, but not amazing)

    Also, kinda controversially, Tarn. Kultur is good, but not as huge and imposing as I'd like, and the transformation is too simple. The FlameToys one is obviously stunning, but it doesn't transform, and is stupidly expensive. So there's still a gap in the market there for a 10/10 Tarn IMO.

    In the sea of Optimus Primes. The Classics voyager mold has been my most favorite depiction and while I like Striker Manus a lot as an update of said mold. I wish there was an earthified version of Striker Manus.

    Large voyager shockwave and Soundwave.

    Maybe planet x shockwave will do the trick... Maybe

    Blitzwing as a Masterpiece.

    I love his design, he's a cool character and there have been a couple and both DX9's and KFC's are not doing it for me, and the FansToys prototype is very lackluster. The good thing is I think FansToys thinks it's lackluster too, and have pulled the design and they are starting over.

    Good. I want a good MP Blitzwing, but as of now have none, because I am not going to buy a mediocre figure just to have a character checked off. I hope we get one someday that is up to snuff.

    I'm still awaiting a Mega-size CHUG Starscream. Voyager is too big, but Deluxe just feels too small.

    Voyager scale seekers...
    I want something for my chug line. Something that doesn’t have a complicated transformation and is fun to play with.

    The classics seeker should have never been deluxe scale.

    I have igear Starburst and he’sreally cool looking but I hate the head sculpt

    Em Pee-
    Ultra Magnus: I was fine with it at release, but it just kinda started looking worse and worse as time went on. Bulbous arms with the elbow joint in the bicep, no waist swivel, and the helmet is too wide. Magic Square addressed every fault on their amazing legends version.

    Cliffjumper: None of the 3PMP options work for me. At all. I just want the toon and toy penny racer and a bot mode that isn't a proportional or aesthetically-clashing mess. Again, the legends options are way closer to the mark.

    Road Caesar and Liokaiser because TFC (although I have to give them props for that GI Joe Prime. They definitely seem to be on the up swing now).

    Raiden.

    By which I mean, there is no Raiden figure. No Trainbots. Where are my Trainbots? Even after that awesome custom made the rounds no third party has dragged them out.

    Heh. Um... I'm sure there'd be a market for that but the scale junkies would be brandishing their pitchforks. I'd prefer something along the line of the MOTU figures that Megablox has been making under their Mega Construx Heroes line. I'd actually like a full line of the human characters from TF in that scale and with that articulation and level of detail, paint apps, etc. I'd say they're pretty close to scale with MP Transformers - close enough to make me happy anyway.

    As I said, the full line of human characters would be pretty cool but Circuit Breaker would be a priority since s̶h̶e̶ ̶h̶a̶d̶ ̶a̶ ̶n̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶f̶i̶t̶ she did more than just get captured all the time.

    As great as FT Phoenix is, I don't think we've seen the perfect Jet/Skyfire yet.
