So out there, there are a wide variety of characters, all with different personalities, alt modes, and levels of obscurity, and it got me wondering-of every obscure TF there is, which one would you instantly buy the moment you learned it was being made? For me, I would lose it if IDW's Fulcrum/Torque got a toy. Slim odds, I know, but I would flip and buy in a heartbeat-even getting 2 Fulcrum's, one to mod into Torque lol. Who is your grail of obscurity?
Probably Rung. He's not that obscure as he's a prominent character in MTMTE's lineup but... we aren't probably getting him in toy form anytime soon. On a side note, I still can't cope with the fact that we haven't any toy (except the Botcon one) of a not-so-obscure character as Alpha Trion!
Hook, Line and Sinker from the Marvel series. Circuit Breaker from the Marvel series. Overlord. I know there is one coming from BTS and I am keeping my eye on it but it may be too big. I also know he is not very obscure to some but I am a fan from the G1 Cartoon first and foremost. My first introduction to Overlord was in LSOTW.
I'd love Straxus that actually resembles the old Marvel character: stocky, great big head, flying cannon, etc. Is Jhiaxus obscure?
I'd love Fanstoys to do a Masterpiece Straxus. That would be SO bought. Needs a throne tho too so the coneheads and Insecticons can stand around him.
A G2 Skram would make me very happy, as he was my first autobot and i'd love to see a new version of him, and the 3P that makes him could do his buddies too since they were gang molded.
Definitely. I had three of those guys, they were great. Also, the Euro-G2 Turbomasters. Never had any, but I totally dig their designs.
If Mech ideas made the wreckers Rack'n'Ruin in a similar way to their jumpstarters (shared mold for the two guys with some remolding) I'd squee like a little girl.
Not to derail the thread, but if Mech ideas did indeed make Rack & Ruin, along with Impactor, Roadbuster Emirate Xaron & a Voyager Overlord - I would scream like a bunch of girls at a One Direction concert!!!!
Rotorstorm, definitely. Although he's not quite as obscure now thanks to LSotW, but I liked him before that, dammit! </hipster>
Any 3P that tackles the Dinobots HAS to do this one! I've forgotten the name, but I'd like to see the yellow cybertronian autobot with a triangular head that from the Marvel comic that transforms in to a wheel. Others that spring to mind: Rack'n'Ruin, The last Autobot, the autobot bounty hunter from the G1 cartoon, and a dedicated Emirate Xaron figure!
Guiltar would be cool. Swindler too, but mostly for the DeLorean alt mode. It'd have to have BttF parts. And any TFs from when I was a kid would be nice, really. With so many done all that remains is: Sixswitch, Landmine (preferably based off the inner robot), Chainclaw, and Squeezeplay. Bonus points for Leader-1 and Cy-kill.
Battletrap and Flywheels. If someone could figure out how to make those guys, fully articulated, that'd be amazing.
