    i mean sure if you want your xaaron to tower over all the other autobot cars

    ss86 perceptor is a large deluxe

    again, using jeff anderson art for scale is a bad idea, because his doesn't have any

    You must have missed the Jose Delbo and Geoff Senior art posted in this thread as well. And the Anderson pic I posted DID have scale as opposed to everyone being the same size. I still say Reflector is the happy medium. Core Megatron is WAY TOO SMALL.

    Red head Ratchet's also on my wish list.... .

    I'm thinking of two separate figures that combine to form Rack n Ruin's traditional robot mode. (same as Rakzo's suggestion)
    .
    I also have a slightly different idea that may need an all new figure.
    A vehicle mode that forms the top halves of Rack n Ruin's robot form, and another one (or two) that forms their legs. That would give an explanation as to why they have such an unusual robot mode. (basically twins whose reformatting went wrong leaving them stuck that way. .Both their sparks ended up in the same vehicle/upper robot body mode while the rest of their 'body' sections are remotely controlled drones.)

    I actually like this design, but I prefer the original version's crazy axe murderer vibe that it just doesn't match (IMO)

    Missed this post. But it would be the most straightforward approach.

    For Rack'n'Ruin, if we're limited to existing molds, I really like the potential of combining this idea:
    with this idea:

    Maybe even put them together in a two pack for some hypothetical second form of this line?

    Sorry to derail this conversation about Xaaron and Rack n' Ruin but I wonder something about the new Fossilizer Combiner. See, just 2 Parts means that it's lacking the Wingfinger Component that the original Fossilizers had. So, I wonder whether other Fossilizers are coming in the future to possibly complete the Fossilizer Combiner.

    I would imagine that a wave two Wreckers line would have a remold of Wingfinger in it somewhere.

    My idea was to do what they did with the Fossilizers for this wave. Have “Rack” come with a Deluxe Ironfist (from Hound) and “Ruin” come with a Deluxe some other wrecker.

    Nice, insulting me like that… I’m not “brainwashed”. I’m just a tad familiar with marketing. I forgot to mention that each would be a weaponizer or modulator retool, so they can also pair up and beef up the figure they’re included with.

    Pink Power Rangers Wingfinger? We already got the mammoth and existing molds they can redeco into a red T Rex and a blue Triceratops. After that all they need to do is release that rumoured sabertooth Fossilizer in yellow.

    Joking (maybe) aside, Hastak will probably almost definitely release another version of Wingfinger.

    Paleotrex got a redeco and two remolds, Ractonite got remolded into Tricanius and Masterdominus and Vertrebreak got a redeco.



    My personal wishlist is currently:
    - Unmodified green redeco of Ractonite.
    - Unmodified blue redeco of Wingfinger.
    - Stegosaurus Fossilizer from Ractonite - (colourful version)
    - Crocodile Fossilizer (colourful version)
    - Sabertooth Fossilizer (yellow version)
    (NOT a fan of the bone deco).

    The thing is, what other Fossil could they make into Fossilizers that would be a remold of the Wingfinger Pteranodon Skeleton Mode?

    I mean, a Mosasaur might be a possibility. But, then again, this mold doesn't feel very conducive for a Mosasaur.
    Perhaps a Quetzalcoatlus.

    It should work fairly well. Plus, they don't need the old Head Crest Head that the Wingfinger Mold had since they already have the new Combined Mode Head made of the Mastodon Skull and Spindle's Chestplate.

    I prefer the Marvel UK deco over the all gold Marvel US one as well.

    Pretty much.Though I hadn't realised there was a Marvel US when I was a kid.

    I grew up with the Marvel UK comics.That's my true source of G1 nostalgia. For me, it was more about the characters and their stories (hence my disappointment with the Bayverse movies) but the toys at the time just didn't do them justice (IMO - undersized, bricks.... and I remember trying to figure out where G1 toy Ratchet's head was.:( . But Jetfire was cool) .

    And now, I've got Marvel Comics Impactor and Springer on preorder.

    But they won't be complete without an Xaaron figure.

    Just give us a translucent icy blue Wing finger with some frosty white overspray in choice spots. That way we can finish off the translucent fossilizer trio with Tricranius and Skelivore, and also have an ice themed fossilizer to compliment the crystal (Skelivore) lava (Tricranius), and radioactive (Dracodon) ones.

    I'd also be down to see whatever retool ideas they have, but I really want a full trio of Translucent (or partially) ones to serve as the sparkbots Angela, Stardust, and Zangetsu (or at least, alternate identities for them).

    Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s how he got started.
