If history has taught us anything, it is that it's damn near impossible to predict what Takara will reissue. You'd have about as much success throwing a dart at a list of names with your eyes closed.

 

Im looking forward to what they will pump out next. I however dont care really who it is since I am planning on getting all G1 Us bots loose and vintage complete ,makeing all reissued stuff stay in boxes.

 

*closes eyes and throws dart at G1 catalogs taped to wall*

Damn! Quickswitch and Crosshairs.

I just hope it's part of the TFC line whatever it is. Well, if it's something I already have anyway. Otherwise I'll need 2.  

From the little I've been able to guess on how they work, there's no chance of Artfire which sucks cause I really want him. I figure if they were going to make him they would have done so when they made Inferno. Then again Jazz was 01 and Stepper was 15, so maybe...

As long as it's something cool. And since they already did Wheelie, there's good odds it won't be a POS bot.  

 

Dammit man!!! Gimme those darts!!!

*Closes eyes, prays, and throws dart*

FORT MAX!!! WOOHOO!!! 

 

there is nothign wrong with Quikswitch .get of his back now will ya      

 

6 Pack of repainted Wheelie repaints  

 

BURN in the Fire of the Inferno!!!!

I'm guessing Scourge since this is the 20th. anniversary of TFTM. The E-Hobby version could be Alpha Trion.  

Blurr or Cyclonus (maybe Springer) could be done too. But I'd be happy with anything really since it would mean more G1.5 E-hobby exclusives.

 

My Top Wish List:

Sunstreaker
Trailbreaker
Swoop
Devastator
Chromedome

 

New reissues! All I have to say is hell yes!\
This made my morning.

 

In all seriousness, my guess is Scourge. I remember hearing recently that there's a sizeable demand for G1 Scourge in Japan.

 

I'm not into TFC...but if Overlord was released? Yes. He's one purchase I'd definitely make.

 

Scourge would be good. Cyclonus too. If they ever reissue the Dinobots, wouldn't it probably be one of the year-end deals as Predaking was? Especially if they do a boxset.

 

I was thinking of what they could release that would be different. Browning would be a good choice.

 

I'd like to see a G1 Bruticus set.

 

Forgive my ignorance. I just don't get the big deal on reissues. I guess I did get the Star Convoy and "Pepsi" Prime. I did pick up a couple of the ones on clearance at TRU, but I always thought it was better to have the originals.
Now, please don't go bashin' me, I'm not AGAINST reish's, I would personally like to see new figs, especially in the BT/Alt lines. If they reissued the gestalts in different colors possibly...or just really hard Japanese stuff...(Just wanted to get my 2 cents in...)

 

Aaaieeeee..my EYE!!!

 

My hopes would be for:

Japanese Cassettes (Yes I have 3 of the 4...but if they re-release them I can display them individually and in the *crappy* combined form...besides, more FUN for everybody   )

Trailbreaker (Just so I can hope for an E-Hobby Yellow version and maybe a blue Hoist while they're at it)

Minibots volume 2 (Totally for the inevitable E-Hobby versions)

Swoop (E-Hobby Diaclone blue version!!!)

Victory Saber!!!! (For the E-Hobby that matches the dark Robotmasters version!)

Wheeljack (for E-Hobby *man, my wants hinge on what I want E-Hobby to do!*Marborojack   )

 

Is Takara not doing anything Hasbro has already released?

I'd like an Ultra Magnus with long stacks or Thundercracker and Skywarp with their original missle launchers . . . not to mention they have already done Ratchet and Ironhide as exclusives - it would be nice to see them remolded with actual heads.
