    Pretender inner bots without shell bots with a full fleshed out alt mode. No folding the robot over and attaching wing for plane mode. These could be easy retools from other molds.

    With that said, Hasbro, a wish list:

    Titan:
    -Rail Racer, with tall but thin component bots; possibly Siege Jetfire height each
    -Grandus
    -Cybertron Menasor
    -Cybertron Quickmix
    -Galaxy Shuttle
    -Gigastorm(a retool of Titan's Return Trypticon would be perfect)
    -Countdown(2in tall; see below) with G1 rocket base(main bulk of the budget here)

    Commander:
    -Animated Lugnut
    -Broadside
    -G1 Skyquake
    -SSGE WFC Destroyer drone
    -Thunderwing
    -G2 Dreadwing

    Leader
    -G1 Roadbuster
    -Any Strika
    -Transmetal Tyrannosaurus Megatron, Optimus Primal, Depth Charge, Beast Wars Rampage
    -Transmetal2 Dinobot
    -Star Dasher; preferably Mercenary if you're not doing a pirate faction; will accept Siege Astrotrain redeco

    Voyager:
    -RID2k Tow-Line
    -G1 Blast-Off; whenever you get around to reiterating G1 Bruticus, consider a Voyager Blast-Off which parts-forms the bulk of his wings into Bruticus' chest; also, 1:600 microfigures(like the Unicron ones) of the other Combaticons
    -Transmetal Inferno, Rhinox, Tarantulas, Terrorsaur, Dinobot(the Happy Meal one), Tigatron
    -G1 Predacons

    Deluxe:
    -RID2k Spychangers/G2 Go-Bots using Siege Sideswipe's engineering
    -Throttlebots! Re-shells of each other is fine, but I'd really like the 2-wheels-per-foot designs
    -Transmetal Rattrap, Airrazor, Waspinator, Blackarachnia(the Happy Meal one), Scorponok(the Happy Meal one)
    -Transmetal2 Blackarachnia

    All the human-sized Transformers you can possibly do up at Core budget 5cm/2in, SS86 Rumble-style. Micromasters, Targetmasters, Minicons, Actionmaster partners, etc. Oh, and please let their likenesses be accurate to their source material.
    Micromaster Deluxe 3-packs, Deluxe Micromaster transports, etc.

    Weaponizer gimmick expansion ideas:
    -Pretender armor(with their own bot/alt modes...?) - with the inner bots being Core class
    -Micromaster Sixteam combiner kibble - their original iterations turned into a vehicle; take it one step further and give them a bot mode, some blast effects ports/posts, and two Deluxe 3-packs of each of the Sixteams' rosters.

    MORE BLAST EFFECTS!!!
    -Toxic sludge effects to attach to the bodies of TFs
    -Flame effects(like Dazzlestrike's and TM2 Megatron's)
    -Water effects; splash, water cannon, etc. Clear plastic with blue inside for realistic looking water
    -Ice crystals to attach to the bodies of TFs
    -Huge "splash" blast effects for Titan stomp effects(could double as Commander Lugnut's P.O.K.E. attack)

    And if you're weary about using large budgets for obscure characters, try dressing the mold up for a more known character first. Like, say, a Titan class Astrotrain that just happens to be shaped like Galaxy Shuttle.

    These are just off the top of my head. Thanks for letting me Mall Santa you, Hasbro! <3

    This again? It's been said over and over: the movie was delayed a whole year. We know for a fact Hasbro plans these things two years in advanced, they must've began developing the Studio Series Rise Of The Beasts figures when the movie was still slated to release in 2022, of course the Studio Series figures were deep into development when the movie was pushed back to 2023, by then it must've been too late to come up with an entirely different line up for Studio Series 2023.
    Wanna blame somebody? Blame Paramount lmao

    Never! You see how bad 86 Brawn’s alt-mode looks compared to almost every other figure from the last few years!

    - 6” scale fully articulated human figures (G1 main cast…TFA…TFP…even Kicker, lol)
    - Raiden (G1 toy-based…core or deluxe component bots)

    All I want for a Wishlist is the rest of the Armada cast and Machine Wars.
    Give me those two things and I’ll be happy forever.

    Yeah, Machine Wars and more AEC updates are my most wanted… Machine Wars is getting more and more likely as new molds come about… We just need a Thunderclash for Prime and Energon Starscream for Megatron and Megaplex and I think all of the others will fall in place with existing molds.

    You know I was just thinking the other day about versatile a deluxe Energon Starscream mold could be. Basically any small sized jet with a cockpit chest could be done, and thats well over a dozen characters from G2 to Cybertron. And, speaking of Cybertron. You could give the mold the same weapon arm gimmick as the WFC figures so that way you could do a Cybertron Thundercracker that could swap between a normal arm and gun arm.

    Not everyone is making wishlists. Seriously dudes, you end up doing more harm than good. Half of us skip walls of text due to TLDR, and your one true want loses out to your 30th preference.

    I would agree too, it's the online chatter that they usually pay attention to, like "wouldn't it be nice if we got Generations updates to Beast Wars?", Or "will we get the rest of the Bumblebee opening characters in Studio Series?", "I hope for more IDW characters",
    "Blitzwing was such a cool character in Bumblebee, I cannot wait for his Studio Series figure" that sort of talking

    It's good to know that they read the forums... or not so much considering how horrible the threads can get.

    And for all you wishlisters out there, I know this is going to sound pessimistic, but I think it's sort of useless because they'll most likely skip comments that are too long, plus they may just take the ideas they like or just read the opinions of the figures and ignore everything else.

    And i agree with @Q Prime, the painted windows are horrible.
