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

    If you mean Aerialbots, Sixwing is who you're thinking of.

    I've had one I've been stewing for a while... Energon Sideways.

    Sideways was in Armada and Cybertron, but missing from Energon. I know it's because he's really not the same character in Armada and Cybertron, but I want a toy with modern engineering that bridges the gap between the two designs. Like a spacey looking motorcycle covered in clear *orange plastic, give him arm-guns like the Armada design and a head like the Cybertron design, and a unique energon weapon like the other Energon toys.

    *Clear neon green plastic would work too, so that way he matches with the Terrorcons.

    Pantsforming double riders that both turn into cycles. One rider shows autobot, the other decepticon. As far as either side are concerned the pants in the operation are just super mode drone parts.

    no, I mean the entire build team that makes Sixbuilder is a singular Silverbolt retool.

    Cool-- Packaging that looks like stasis pods

    Dumb-- i would probably still toss the packaging in the garbage

    Unless you make the packaging a gimmick like in Bionicle and Hero Factory, where the little tube packaging was integrated in their dropship builds

    All 13 of the Primes. At Titan Class. Come on, they're running out of Base Mode characters to do. And the Primes were all stated to be massive. Go for it.

    I think this could be a really cool two-pack, provided that the base figures in Legacy turn out well and that the individual Stunticons are taller in robot mode than average car bots (which they are on the Sunbow scale chart): Drift vs. Lockdown.

    Drift would be made from Pointblank/Armada Blurr (which one would depend on how they turn out):
    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    I don't thing either of them would need much retooling in vehicle mode to turn it into a Cybertronian race car worthy of the Drift name. He'd preferable get a little more retooling in robot mode on his torso and legs, but all he'd really need would be a new head and shoulder kibble that can face backwards, and it'd be a perfect IDW-inspired Drift (and a good base for SG and Deadlock repaints):
    [​IMG]

    Wildrider would require a bit more remolding for Lockdown. He'll probably turn into a Ferrari 308 lookalike:
    [​IMG]
    His car mode would be partially retooled to look like this modified 308, with some added exhaust pipes:
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    And his robot mode would be totally reshelled, and (if possible) his transformation tweaked (possibly changing where the hood/front bumper goes in robot mode, maybe it could split and become shoudler pads?), to resemble an Animated/AOE hybrid like this:
    [​IMG]
    And they'd both of course get new weapons, swords for Drift and a removable hood hand and a big cannon for Lockdown (as well as maybe an AOE-style helmet/mask?).

    An entire toyline where everyone is a weaponizer, from Bumblebee to Trypticon. So basically Diaclone but it doesnt cost an arm and a leg and featuring transformers characters from all eras plus new ones in a new way and aesthetic

    I’d be down but I can also imagine the meltdown of “HASBLOW MADE EVERYONE A PARTSFORMER? LAZY ENGINEERING!”

    but cool idea regardless.

    My idea was that the Micromasters would come in three packs of two like in Earthrise, and the jet would be its own separate Deluxe figure that can combine with the Micromasters to form Sixbuilder, and also have its own robot mode.

    A toyline along the veins of Classics and Universe where they took G1 characters and gave them modern alt modes but a reverse classics in a sense with Bay characters. Imagine AoE Crosshairs as a C3 Corvette instead of a C7

    [​IMG]

    Or how about Lockdown as a modified Countach?

    [​IMG]

    This will literally never happen but if I were given the opportunity to make a TF toyline this is what I would do.
