    I think I would rather someone get back to the pseudo Tetrajets that MAAS tried to flim flam years ago.

    I just want "sleek, cool" Seekers, not rounded and toony ones they insist on making, like...

    Well...

    Okay, I'll say it. If I have to..

    I want Fanstoys Seekers.

    There, it's nice to get that out.

    Actually, maybe could do it too, they a dynamic figure out of a chunkster like Inferno/Grapple

    So, Rung, recolor potentials (because you know MMC must).

    Ideas?

    Maybe a Lunarian from the end of Lost Light?

    Alternatively, I think with a small bit of creative retooling you could get a MTMTE Fulcrum. I could see the ornament mode for Mentis also being a bomb - it's roughly cylinder shaped. Though Fulcrum's been said before to be low low low priority as a character.

    Maybe an Ambulon? Replace the scooter with a clip-on foot?

    If nothing else, there's a Shattered Glass fan art repaint I've seen on Tumblr before:

    Lord knows I'd buy at least Fulcrum or Ambulon, but I doubt we'd see any of these.

    Neat ideas, we could always use another medic.

    Fulcrum seems like a destined chew toy fodder for the big dogs among the Cons.

    I'd buy Fulcrum or Ambulon
    With that said all we know for reformatted is that Dzef and Fortmax coming, which both lazyaza and RVDV said recently. Which makes me wonder what reveals of new upcoming reformatted figures MMC has for us to get a sneak peek at in October for tfcon. We know they love when they can reused a mold with retools to create something new (yeah optus pexus will get alot of remolds probably). So using that what I would love to see is.

    .Pharma... then remolded into starsceam... then endless amount of seekers for tfcon exclusives lol... also remold to tyrest.
    .Nautica then remolded/rework to scourge
    .skids remold to trailblazer
    .ratchet remold to Ironhide
    .transtech cheetor and TFA blur from chromedome
    .Beside that I'd love to see a Cyclonus 2.0 & tailgate duel pack. More fembots like velocity And so so much more I'm not listing.

    What are some reformatted characters that you would like to see and what remolds could we get from them?

    Fulcrum from Rung is absolutely genius. Hope it happens.

    Oddly enough Rung costs about 110 after shipping from PSX but showz is charging 128, and that’s if they get him.

    Or they did right by the fanbase and made more than a few of them.

    There's a difference between too small for a mass market release and too small to satisfy customer demand. You know, like many other exclusives. One thing MMC does often is make sure "exclusives" are still available to those who want them.

    That's too deep. I am a simple person. If I can sell 10K at 100, I wouldn't produce 1K and sell them for the same price. Exclusives also tend to be repaints of existing characters, while Rung is a main character. @RDVA who works for MMC has also said in this thread that a bunch of recent Reformatted releases have not done very well. I have reasons to doubt that, but at the same time, a guy working for MMC has to know more right?
