    Hot Rod, Wheeljack, and Soundwave for me.
    I got a ko SG classics Rodimus with a broken shoulder who I'd love to replace with a redeco of the WFC mold.

    And of course I still hope for an Action Master Thundercracker redeco of the Earthrise mold.

    Yep, first time I've heard of a blue one. Had no interest in Hoist & Trailbreaker when they came out in ER, but give them a different color & I'm interested ha ha.

    They have a lot of repaints! Apart from the Yellow Trailbreaker shown in the post above, there is a Blue Trailbreaker (Diaclone) and Green "Trailbreaker" (IGA, technically released as Hoist). Pictures by JazzimusPrime from blogtransformers.com
    [​IMG]

    Then there's Blue Hoist (Diaclone, released in a two-pack with Crosscut) and a Red Hoist (Diaclone, released individually).

    I hope Hasbro continues to tap into these legacy repaints as they are easy money for them!

    If they made a red Trailbreaker (I know that's Hoist there in the picture), I wonder how it'd look headswapped with Siege Ironhide as a Bayverse and Animated-inspired CHUG version of him?

    yep, I knew about all those others, I just missed there was ever a Blue Hoist. Cool it was part of a 2-pack.

    Besides Lift-Ticket, Flatline, Hoist, Trailblazer, and the SG stuff, do any of the other decos have names?

    which one is Flatline?

    interesting factoid about Yellow Trailbreaker, I'd love to see him with a new bed accessory replacing his canopy as Scorch: File:G1-toy Scorch FireRoad.jpg - Transformers Wiki Body structure is basically identical, Head's even 90% there. (obviously I'd prefer a new head, but it's close enough I don't feel it's mandatory)

    as far as I know, (and please correct me, I'd love to know!) the Black Ironhide, Yellow Trailbreaker, Blue Trailbreaker & Hoist and Red Mirage don't have official names....

    Edit: I also suppose the original all-silver Bluestreak needs a new name if Black + Silver is Bluestreak and "Blue Bluestreak" is now (at least semi officially) Silverstreak – I'd have called all-silver Silverstreak obviously. For my part, I'm calling Walmart blue Deep Cover Mach Alert and "Blue Bluestreak" Speedbreaker (because I've always found Silverstreak an incredibly lame name)

    while I was looking at them all for this post, saw the 2 pack with Crosscut/Blue Hoist, that's super cool.

    Flatline is a Decepticon medic who was introduced in the ROTF comics and later brought into IDW using the Trailcutter/breaker body type. I do think it'd be neat to get a new figure of him, but his original design turned into a vintage hearse, and I love that macabre aspect of his character so I'd rather he be made from a different mold that's able to keep it. Not sure if any existing car molds would be well suited for turning into a hearse given that we mostly have flat sports cars and big trucks to work with though. (I know there's of course Ectotron, but he's way too big to scale with CHUG stuff. Maybe the Jurassic Park bot could be reshelled into one? It's probably got closer alt mode proportions than anything else right now.)

    cool, yeah, seems like an obvious use for the Blue Trailbreaker! (plus the 'cons are way under-represented via Diaclone redecos – what, you've got Exhaust, Detritus (not truly a 'con OR a Diaclone redeco, but fits the spirit) and Loud Pedal, right? Red mirage becoming Crasher seems like another obvious one...)

    Dude, I'd love a transformer that turns into a hearse! I dropped my brother off at a Korn concert just the other day and there was a guy driving a vintage hearse to the show as I was leaving!

    It's a fantastic car mode for a Decepticon. I could see the trailbreaker mold being heavily, heavily remolded into one, but the Jurassic park bot is probably closer overall, and would take less retooling. Ectotron is definitely too big, and I don't think his robot mode would suit a bot with a hearse alt-mode very well.

    Or they could just make a new mold. That could work too.

    A new mold would definitely be best. I can't see Trailbreaker working even with extensive remolding, he's too squat and has way too much undercarriage kibble in truck mode to be remolded into such a long car with a much lower profile. The Jurassic Park bot at least has fairly similar vehicle mode proportions. It's still a bit higher profile but that could probably be adjusted:

    Its transformation would also be good because it'd allow much more of the iconic design elements of the hearse to be on display in robot mode than Ectotron did.

    I was invisioning something with a larger, boxy back, but yeah, Trailbreaker would take so much retooling to even come close that they may as well make a new mold. If they just want to retool an existing mold, JP is the better choice (possibly the upcoming Skids, but we don't really know what he looks like yet).

    Something more like these is what I envision, with the side-windowless, decorated trunks. old-hearse-on-back-of-tow-truck-usa-EA8CAK.jpg 635726819668931818-1937-LaSalle-hearse.jpeg IRL_Hearse.jpg

    Drunk again here. Any news on Terrorsaur?

    And, if there's no news, can i have the link to a thread that could actually fill the gap left by the old drunk one? I mean the first one, the second was closed too soon for very good reasons i don't want to remember because the only thought make me sick.

    P.S.
    Please send me links to drunk leak threads.

    There aren't any. The mods keep closing them because they devolve into spam. Could we not do the same here?

    So what are the possibilities of more RID beyond Scourge?

    YouTube (Legacy):
    I'd say Sky-Byte has the highest chance. Not only is he the most popular character from the show, he appeared in Cyberverse and has an easy TM2 Cybershark repaint that could go in a "Battle Across Time" type 2-pack. Fire Convoy is also possible since he fits perfectly into the "Voyager with armor" Leader class type. Ruination will likely come in Selects if they ever do another Bruticus to go with Menasor and Defensor. These are the most likely candidates imo

    Autobros and Gigatron could come eventually, being main characters.The Spychangers would be perfect for core class. Ultra Magnus has been homaged in Siege, plus he should be there to combine with Prime. Rail Racer is mayyyybe possible as a Haslab, or they could scale each member down to Leader/Voyager. I doubt they will be acknowledged for a while tho.

    Anyways that's my speculation based on Hasbro's current mindset.
