    Remember when you could buy up GI Joe accessory packs with extra weapons from the characters, but in different colors?

    How many of us would love to have that happen with TF weapons?

    Lots of people, including myself.

    Especially considering how pricey 3P weapon sets can be at times.

    A lot of us are buying weapon and accessory packs right now. Just not from Hasbro.

    It doesn't help that the last time that Hasbro did a weapon pack (Centurion), some of the weapons were out of scale.

    Ooh, me. I would buy a pack of Siege/ Earthrise/ Kingdom weapons with blast effects. I would probably buy stacks of blast effects.

    I'd be in for more. I just hope they make a ton more than their Centurion pack. I'd like to had three of those guys but two isn't bad.

    I'd love it if we got some generic weapons at some point that can go to anyone but right now, a Beast Wars themed weapons pack would be sweet. Especially if it had a wingfinger repaint.

    And no, I don't count blast effects as weapons.

    Not me. I typically don’t like a lot of accessories with my figures. One or two signature weapons is more than enough.

    I like alternate face sculpts or heads, but more for variance in aesthetic (toon vs toy vs comic, for example) rather than expression. Blast effects and reproduced items from particular episodes are worthless to me— I usually toss them in the bin.

    I'd buy that Centurion weapon pack if they reissued it and added more paint to the stuff.

    Honestly, I'd like accessories that weren't just weapons. I have more spare guns than I know what to do with, and am looking forward to Rodimus Prime because his trailer has so much storage space for the tonnes of guns I have lying around, all neatly arranged in 5mm ports.

    Also human 'accessories' roughly to scale with deluxe cars/voyager trucks. I would buy the crap out of a sub-line of those.

    Yep, same here.
    Also display pieces and accessories, like Wheeljack's invention.

    It would be fun if they did something similar to the old "mail away Robot Points" program.

    I'd love accessory packs with weapons, blast effects, and 1:35 human figures packed-in. There are a lot of accessories missing from WFCT figures that Hasbro could easily fill with releasing more packs. Rumble's and Frenzy's piledrivers and drill arms, Cheetor's gut gun, and Trailbreaker's forcefield as a blast effect, to name a few.

    Also, Hasbro seems to be using the same molds for fire, ice, and water effects though judging by the second accessory packs and Artfire(completely forgetting about Dazzlestrike's blast effect), so I don't think it would hurt them to release new shapes for effects parts. And let's big effects parts too. Imagine a large "Punch of Kill Everything" effects part for a new Lugnut figure! It could even double as a stomping effect for Titans.

    Am I being too greedy here...?

    Rodimus Prime cones with smoke effects, plus the Cyberverse line had some new ones not re-used from the WFC lines, so including these new sculpts would be awesome.

    Does he? That's neat. I just saw his blue repaint of Omega Supreme's multi-segmented blast effect.

    Yeah, I'd love the Cyberverse ones, but I only buy Generations stuff. :<

    100% on board with this. I'd love some tools, datapads, or canisters and containers. Anything to put in their hands besides guns and melee weapons. I always like Gen Wheeljack coming with wrenches and would've liked to see more stuff like that.

    This fact is very overlooked, and I think it should be put more in the spotlight. The transformers themselves don't turn into military equipment all the time, so logically,they should also come with other types of auxiliary equipment themselves. One of the few that we've gotten recently from the various Generations lines are Siege Ratchet's wrench and SS86 Kup's energon treat dispenser. they're few and far between, and if Hasbro is serious in giving us some shelf-displaying options, as the effects parts themselves imply(even ignoring the Hasbro reps outright admitting to that desire), then they really should examine this aspect of the TF fiction.

    I totally would. Especially if they threw in some more blast effects and the old C-clips weapons.

    I love the idea. It magnifies the fun of our figures.
