    Sorry, IDW based figures already exist and are plenty accurate, you'll just have to go back and buy those.
    Would be pretty cool to get some Marvel and IDW figures, would probably skip most of the marvel stuff save someone like Blaster or Leader sized Fort Max and Scorponoks, but there's plenty of IDW I'd like to see, though I hope they wouldn't go the MMC route of thinking IDW=MTMTE/LL and only MTMTE/LL

    Beyond Tarn, we'll probably never get the DJD officially, especially not with their current designs and alt modes, and if you change those are they really the DJD? I mean it's not like they're exactly the most compelling characters so if you change the surface level it's something else entirely.

    DJD outside of Tarn ain't happening; don't think you can go around selling edgy torture devices.

    Make vos a mini submarine , Kaon a beach chair, and Helex a jacuzzi, and rename them the Decepticon Jacuzzi Division
    Being for real you are right on that, Helex and Teseraus I can see being made and nickel definitely as either a small deluxe or core, however vos and kaon would be pretty hard to push through with some changes

    I have a few doubts they'd manage to get an obvious shredder out at market, and I'm not sure what they'd try to sell a smelter as, because that's even more of a nothing alt mode than the worst of the Siege molds. Forgot about Nickel since I really don't care about her at all but she could definitely make it as a small deluxe like the minibots.

    Honestly though, the DJD are just in general a hard sell, given their status of zealous torturers and and their style over substance with hardcore edgelord designs with little to no personality beyond "evil insane zealot" I just don't think we'll ever see much from them beyond those MMC figures without some hardcore revisions down to the concept.

    I would be fine with them just getting normal vehicle modes.

    Yeah, if they did comic figures they should pull from all the comics. Hell, give us some War Within and Transtech stuff.

    As for the DJD, I think Kaon is the only one that would be a real problem. Helex and Tesarus can be marketed as mining vehicles or tanks. Kaon could probably be done as a tank with an unofficial chair mode.

    I'd love some War Within and Transtech figures, there's some great designs there that I'd love to see in plastic form. Except maybe WW Megatron, we've had enough G1 tank Megatrons that do basically the same thing, if we have to do it again I'd want a wildly different transformation scheme to get that G1 look (maybe make the tank turret the cartoon back gun barrel?)

    And yeah, you could make them all generic cobbles of kibble and call them vehicles, but it'd probably be at the expense of the robot modes by adding additional kibble to them that'd mess with the one thing they have as characters, their looks. And they'd probably be pretty neutered in story compared to the IDW versions, as I doubt they're gonna market the zealous murder cultish torturers to children; or their parents.

    Getting Crankcase gives me hope for the other Triggercons and the Triggerbots. Getting the Firecons and Sparkabots would be great too.

    Maybe we'll get an Override retool of that rumored Road Rocket. Although they have a really similar deco already.
    Windsweeper and Dogfight could be retools of each other.

    I had Flamefeather as a kid, so I would love the Firecons and Sparkabots finally done justice with their cute alt modes and bot modes.

    Override is likely the Cybertron one and not the original one.

    A G1 Override I'm just speculating about isn't likely to be the Cybertron Override we know is coming.
    But since the rumored Road Rocket is apparently already a retool of the rumored Prime Arcee its unlikely they'll use the mold again for another Autobot with so similar a deco.

    With many upgrades he's sound. The PE KO version hands and feet, a chest plate and the Matrix Workshop guns which look massively better in his hands. He works.

    Knock Out is on a cover for the new Wreckers comics, he looks a Jazz retool. Does that count as a possible leak?

    Actually, I meant the wave one guys being leaked before Hasbro unveils them. But yeah.. hopefully Knock Out’s head isn’t as add as the cover, but not bad for a reenvisioning, considering what they had to work with.
