    I'm running out of space, but I'd totally get:

    Nautica
    Velocity
    MTMTE Whirl (Turben's lliving on the wrecker shelf)

    And that's already it, because with Domey and Rung, I'll have run out of space.

    Seraphicus Prominion has entered the chat.


    That said, here's my want list with possible repaints:
    • Pharma/Ambulon
    • Minimum Ambus (possible retool from Rewind?)
    • First Aid/Ratchet
    • Ten (from Helex)
    • Fulcrum (from Rung)
    • Atomizer/Velocity

    Basically I'll buy anything MTMTE so the list is moot :D

    Yeah, but does that really count? Thats just prima cosplaying as nova prime. Probably would stop them from doing a better one though
    Also, I just thought about it, I can see idw blaster out of the ratbat mold. They have similar shoulders, just need to drop the wings and replace the head and chest. A bit of a remopd? Yes. But then again, so was ratbat

    Personally...

    fuck it i'm gonna make it 10.

    Scavengers (counting them all as one just so I don't fill this up, haha)
    First Aid/Ratchet (since they'd probably end up being remolds)
    Skids
    Cyclonus 2.0
    Whirl 2.0
    Magnus/Minimus Ambus
    Maximus Ambus
    Trailcutter
    Riptide
    Perceptor

    Honorable mention to Censere/The Necrobot: Since he'd probably end up maybe being a Rung remold?

    Does that upper torso SCREAM Rung or is it just me?

    I want them to do IDW original characters which otherwise have zero chance of being officially made: Riptide, Nautica, Pharma, etc.

    Monoformers.

    Since Toyworld’s attempt at IDW Optimus Prime looks almost nothing like the design, and they never bothered to do stealth bomber Megatron and Ultra Magnus, then I think MMC (or heck, Planet X if they so chose), should do Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, and Stealth Bomber Megatron.

    Just out of curiosity, how is Turben? I was looking at him as a possible Whirl for my MTMTE Shelf.

    General consensus was that he's pretty good. Though he's obviously not for MTMTE, of course.

    1). Anode and Lug -- As if being the first trans Transformers weren't enough, I really love Anode's design. The whole "old timey adventurer/aeronaut who transforms into a propeller plane" thing really works for me. So what if this is from one of the series' lesser stretches?
    2). Nautica -- Great character, needs a great toy.
    3). Nightbeat -- Really what I want is a Marvel Comics Nightbeat, but at this point, I'd take an MTMTE-flavored one. (How are there zero good Nightbeats after all these years?)
    4). Ratchet -- Everybody higher up on this list has no good figure of them in any continuity... but I do want an MTMTE Ratchet specifically. Drift needs him.
    5). Whirl 2.0 -- I passed on Turben. Maybe I shouldn't have. But I'm willing to wait until somebody makes a Whirl that looks right.

    Honorable Mentions:
    Skids -- That Hasbro one isn't cutting it.
    The Scavengers. I don't have a shelf for them, but they were really fun characters.

    He's more modelled after his Pre-MTMTE stylization. Solid figure, but a common complaint is that he does not look like the later version (well, he does take some minor cues). As a figure he's solid. I got him for my wrecker shelf, and don't regret it.

    We already have a Swerve and Tailgate who scale properly with their voyager brethren — from MakeToys :3

    I don’t think MMC would ever do them because of that (the MT versions are great and super accurate maybe barring Swerves slightly small head and unpainted visor) , and because they wouldn’t sell nowadays.

    Also, possibly unpopular opinion: I think Hasbro's Thrilling 30 Swerve works really well in an MTMTE display as well. I actually prefer his headsculpt to Cogwheel's, and head sculpt counts for a lot -- especially for Swerve. So that's more competition an MMC version would have to deal with.

    You say they wouldn't sell, but I disagree. Imagine MMC makes their own tailgate and a new cyclonus (cyclonus 2.0) double pack, like they are doing for chromedome and rewind. I bet you they would sell so fast. It like saying if MMC made a reformatted Starscream, that no one would buy it. People would just buy it because it's MMC, because it a Seeker which has been over done over and over again by so many companies. But the fact that it's a MMC seeker would make all the difference. Because it would be an MMC swerve or tailgate would make a difference and sell.

    Technically new age is smaller but their colors don't match whereas Magic squares does.

    @YukatanJack -

    I think the official figures head is also a bit better - but the rest of him is not accurate at all. And his alt mode is some made up thing. MT’s is very accurate and they even made their own MFB <3

    @Dudaisamazing -

    I stand by my opinion. I could be wrong but ... I am pretty sure MMC’s other two packs were met with really lukewarm affair.

    There are the official figures available and there are MT’s. MMC would be competing with these and I’m sure they would consider the characters popularity — which is something they aren’t (popular).

    I’m not trying to shoot down your wish; but we have serviceable options already - and MT’s being pretty rather amazing.
