Kind of a dumb idea, but it would be cool if they made....

    That's going to be the next Haslab project after Unicron for only $1500.

    I'd consider buying perhaps a Legends Class or Legion Class scale Ark depending on what the price is. If it was comparable to a City Bot Titan Class figure, I'd be interested for sure. But for a huge set (USS Flagg scale) that ends up on Has Lab, I'd have to pass.

    For just a depiction of the ship, no. For something that opens up as a playset like that Millennium Falcon, maybe. It it was well made and interesting enough and at reasonable cost, I could go for something like that. If it's a Haslab project with a sky-high price tag though, forget it.

    I always thought if it was a 3 part transforming ship. It's a ship and a playset. You take the Ark and cut into thirds. The playset part would be the pieces you see on earth but then it transforms into the front mid an rear of the ship.
    Sell it in parts over time and it's not much of an issue.

    I always thought it'd be cool to have one the would fit deluxes and voyagers in the seats. Also, have it transform into Omega Supreme like in Animated. His head could have been a separate tank that a figure could sit in.

    Makes sense. Like the way Cog, Brunt and Sixgun were sold later from their main group (Metroplex, Fortmax and Dinoser)

    Nope. It's too big for my collection, too small for my live-in needs, and does not offer any bathrooms if it was big enough. Plus I am still mad that it is 2019 and we still have not seen Unicron's head floating in space.

    Monsterbots, Horrorcons, Terrorcons, whatever; with old Japanese giant monster movie-themed alternate modes. Don't know why, but I love the idea of a figure that turns into what looks like a guy in a rubber suit/a giant puppet, or something of a similar aesthetic.

    Alternatively, maybe something Lovecraftian/eldritch. Feel like that could work well with a combiner, like Monstructor or Abominus. Really work the engineering and parts to make it look like they are merging into some new fleshy, rotting horror. Maybe a bit like the Spawn fusion monster?

    Do you think we will ever see a release of the computer ?
    I think there was a paper cardboard version at one time ?
    I was using the cab of Prime when i was young to be tele traan one.
    Do you want a plastic version of this set ?

    Don't ask why, but I had this crazy idea that would be a huge middle finger to many from Hasbro: new Constructicon figures in the WFC trilogy that seem promising—all Deluxes (Long Haul would maybe be a small Voyager instead, but not C H O N K like his Combiner Wars toy) with great posability (Scrapper, for example, would actually have elbows unlike his Combiner Wars figure) and little to no greebles...but the combined Devastator mode looks like...

    (skip to 2:16 for best view)
    ...in G1 Constructicon colors. Would you still buy that? I would.

    I think there's one floating around now, a display wall for the MP collectors to pose their figures against.

    Wow, by complete coincidence (I didn't see your post until after I made mine), my post in this thread is basically the exact opposite of yours!

    Heh, what did you think of my Devastator idea?

    BTW, the configuration would still be G1 Devastator's (Hook as the head and shoulders, Mixmaster as the left leg, etc.).

    A legend scale Erector done by the designer who did the recent SeaSpray, that includes a battle trailer that may also have the weaponizer gimmick.

    I think it's pretty interesting. I think it would be cooler in g2 colors.

    a combiner that's 5 classic muscle cars. when you transform the torso, the paint aligns in such a way that it looks like he's wearing a white tank top. Combiner head would have a huge beard and big sunglasses.

    I'd prefer the G1 colors myself, but I still think that would look cooler, too.

    Also, I'd imagine Hook's alt-mode would look like a Cybertronian version of the crane truck pictured below so Devastator's head could be hidden within his legs/alt-mode cab, similar to AoE Snarl's stegosaurus head.

    Also, who needs to link to YouTube videos and specify when you have to watch?
