Oooh, a pile on!
Like many people, I would want the rest of the Ark crew, the remaining '87 guys, and the Coneheads, but I'd really like updates for the small/88 headmasters, Deathsaurus and Starsaber. Beyond that I realise I don't actually have massive ambitions for the rest of the line. Updates for Blaster, Glavatron, and Wreck Gar would be neat, likewise proper updates for the Powermasters, and some more G1/IDW characters would be lovely (hello Weaponisier Rack'n'Ruin), but I wouldn't be all that frustrated if we didn't get 'em.

 

Updates I would love to see ( I tried to keep it to around ten):
Autobots:
Turbomasters
Warpath
Triggerbots
Ironfist
Star Saber

Decepticons:
Ransack
Powerdive
Triggercons
Predators
Skyscorchers
Dinoking
A proper Leokaiser
Deathsaurus

 

Oh god please no, all original molds please.

 

I know, right? It's not like the entire franchise was built off of remolds and repaints.


Oh, wait...

 

Since this is just a wishlist, I'm going to include a couple of Gobot-like designs, like Fracture.
Autobots:

1. Rodimus Prime (leader class with his battle station) (Remold into Thunderclash)
2. Sunstreaker (Repaint into Flash)
3. Pointblank (Punch/CounterPunch Retool - repaint into Boss)
4. Minerva (Nightbeat Repaint)
5. Triggerbots (Remolds of Wheeljack, Spinout (see below), and one of the jets)
6. Roadbuster
7. Star Saber
8. Space Case [Shuttle, designed like Gobot Spay-C.]
9. Jazz (Repaint into Fracture and Hurricane)
10. Volt (repaint into Scorch)

Decepticons:

1. Coneheads
2. Monstructor
3. Spinout [Or whatever; Cy-Kill designed motorcycle.]
4. Scorponok
5. Clench
6. Triggercons
7. Firecons
8. Roadblock
9. Scourge (TR version sucks)
10. Tidal Wave

 

God forbid the franchise actually gets creative, that would be heresy!

 

God forbid a line specifically for homaging past lines actually homages past lines.

There are other lines for that, if you have a line that's about modernizing and redoing toys/characters from older lines/series', then it should do exactly that. We don't need an individual mold for ever Seeker, for instance. Some bots SHOULD be repaints or remolds because of historical relevance, some should be solely because it's a waste of engineering to make a separate mold that's essentially a mold that's already in production.

 

aside from Botbots, NO there isnt.

Studio Series is "Generations" laser focused on the Bayformer movies.
Cyberverse has No original characters. everyone is a legacy character, usually in the design that made them famous.
Masterpiece is Generations for people with fuck tons of money.
Cyber Battalion and Authentics is Generations for people with very little money

where is the creativity?

 

Yeah, it doesn't help that this seems to be an running theme these days. "In this side it's Neo-G1, and in this other side it's Movieverse. There is no middle ground.)

Kinda wish that there's an revival of the "Transformers Universe" line with focus on making experimental redecos, new character molds and such.

 

Up until Cyberverse, the media line had long been used to introduce new characters.
Animated had Bulkhead and Lockdown, Prime had Knockout and Breakdown, RiD had Strongarm, Fracture, and Thunderhoof...

And while Cyberverse hasn't introduced any new characters, I believe it's the first official toys for guys like Slipstream and Deadlock. Much like it took until Siege for us to get an official Impactor.

There's also stuff like the Powerdashers, Elita's Guard, etc that haven't had new toys in years, if ever.

That's the current creativity. Finding ways to mix new names and faces in with the old standards. Sky Byte and Cheetor being given roles in Cyberverse tells me Hasbro wants to get those back in the general audiences quickly so the kids are primed for seeing them in the future.

That's still Generations, though.

 

Wait, isn't it Breakdown was originally Stunticon, and Bulkhead from Energon? Name wise, I'm kinda off-track. Then again, if it's the Prime one, I refer him most of the time as War Breakdown.

 

Animated Bulkhead stole the name, made it his own, and isn't giving it back.

 

Technically deadlock, slipstream and impactor have all had official figures, granted only foc impactor was widely available in the west unless you count drift and deadlock as the same guy, especially since cyberverse deadlock is colored more like drift

 

"Stole? I thought i legally got it at Autobot bootcamp! Okay, Sentinel got some explaining to do!"

 

I mean energon bulkhead was supposed to be springer anyway

 

I'd like to see Coneheads, Tracks, Blaster, Autobot Cassettes, Howlback, Frenzy, Buzzsaw, Runamok (obviously), Runabout, Cyclonus, Nightstick, Hyperdrive (Blurr's Battlemaster), Flintlock (Kup's Battlemaster), a reissue of Misfire, a reissue of Slugslinger, Sureshot w/ Battlemaster, Peacemaker w/ Pointblank, Grapple, Trailbreaker, Hoist, Bumblebee, Vehicons, and Skids, because.

 

Drift has gotten figures, but this is the first time I think we've seen "Deadlock" get called out. Which could be a sign that Hasbro wants to start using Deadlock/Drift more frequently as they did back during the RiD/UT days where Megatron always became Galvatron. (I'm part of the group that thinks the Punch/Counterpunch mold is going to wind up repainted/retooled as a Drift/Deadlock reference sooner than later.)

I had forgotten FoC Impactor, and can't think of a US Slipstream. That'd put Impactor inline more with stuff like Elita's team where some of them have gotten figures in the past but this is the first time we're supposedly getting the "G1" versions.

 

deadlock and slipstream are both takara figures, so cyberverse is definitely their first western releases, and i would love punch/counterpunch as deadlock/drift, the mold is perfect for both that duo and pointblank

 

Honestly, Give me a shit ton of '88 and '89 casts like Dealer, Getaway, PM Prime, Starsaber, Thunderwing, Bludgeon, etc, etc...

 

I want a legit Doubledealer (although the Thrilling 30 one wasn't terrible, it needed an upgrade kit to make it even remotely okay), Getaway, and Thunderwing. I don't think we'll see a PM Prime for a good long bit since TR and Legends took care of that just a short while ago. Bludgeon... Eh, NEST's version is actually pretty good, but the rubber eating the plastic is the problem. I just don't know if they can get away with his look at mass retail, now.
