    So many good ideas in this thread. I second the Wheeljack and Jazz idea, as well as the other dinobots.

    I'd like to see an Energon Sharkticon repaint in G1 Gnaw colors. :D

    Signal Lancer. Now that Hasbro has released a biplane and soon a toaster, it is the perfect time for a stoplight. Also, words cannot express how much I want a Signal Lancer toy.

    For the Universe/Classics stuff, a deluxe Jazz and Voyager Shockwave would be interesting. Voyager Blitzwing, too.

    Actually, what I'd really want to see is a Masterpiece Blitzwing, but if it were ever to happen, that's something for Takara to come thru with... that thought doesn't belong here ;)

    I'd love for a voyager Blitzwing, no deluxe triple changers please.

    Also, I like that the Universe line has *kind of* kept the big guys big, like Powerglide being massive, so Blitzwing should be at least Voyager (even with deluxe Galvatron and Cyclonus marring that system).

    I'll agree with Jazz and especially Ratchet, they're core characters that've yet to see new toys.

    More than anything, I'd want to see more add ons, like Targetmasters and maybe even a Headmaster.

    Deluxe Tracks please, please *please*!

    1. Voyager/Ultra Star Saber - We need some Victory love!

    2. Jazz - Everyone's said him, he needs a new figure in Universe.

    3. Wheeljack - See above.

    4. Menasor/Morotmaster - He was always a favorite of mine. I can take or leave the other Stunticons.

    5. Blitzwing - Voyager at least, or GTFO!

    6. Shockwave - If they can make Megatron into a Nerf gun, they can do Shockwave.

    7. Rattrap - If they do a Scout class, he's be perfect.

    8. Tarantulas - Because I'm sick of seeing Blackarachnia get the spotlight.

    9. Sky-Byte - Probably the only character in RiD I liked, he deserves a new toy.

    10. ...
    Obscure TF's FTW!

    There's a Henkei release for Red Alert. Just a Sideswipe recolour I think, but he's cool nonetheless.

    I could go for those, but I'm worried about triple changers, Astrotrain was great, but Octane was not...I'd hate the 50/50 chance they screw one of those up?

    Which Jazz are you referring to?

    From the other topic on this...

    For the Autobot crowd...

    Deluxe Class:
    Arcee (new mold, clear G1 Fembot robot design with minimal kibble possible, car mode)
    Turbo (from Gobots) repainted from Universe Hotshot, possibly with a new head mold.
    Wheeljack (new mold) I have the Alternators one currently filling this role, but as much as I love that Mustang, the figure just doesn't quite carry the role well enough for me.
    Leader-1 (again, Gobots) (new mold)
    Impactor (yeah, you heard me)
    Brawn (Movie Payload repaint with new head mold - Saw that same thing, even bid on it, on ebay a year or two ago. Hasbro - Where you at?)
    Cosmos (produced of plastic out of the canned Titanium mold. I still hate Hasbro for ending that dream then sticking us with that very crappy Legends figure)

    Voyager/Ultra Class:
    Sludge, Snarl, Slag & Swoop (to go along with MP Grimlock)
    Springer (new Triplechanging mold) I'm tired of Triplechangers getting Deluxe figures that have decent bot modes, one good alt mode and a very sacrificed second alt mode. With a larger size, and certainly with no Earth modes in play as the case might be with Springer, it could solve such issues I think. To be honest I'm really not even into the guy, never have been, but his one big thing to me of being a Triplechanger has been shot for years now with a helicopter repaint, or a Hummer repaint, and the like. Give the guy his gimmick back.
    Warpath (ZOWIE!)


    Supreme Class:
    Omega Supreme (Duobot style. Giant Cybertronian tank & Giant Cybertronian spacecraft combine to form G1-esque likeness)
    Sky-Lynx (new mold, same idea behind Omega)

    Decepticons..

    Deluxe Class:
    Runabout & Runamuck, twin pack, same car mold, same face but the surrounding head design could be different (though not nessasary).
    Cykill (from Gobots) This guy has been in so many TF series as a nod over the last ten years or so he deserves a decent new mold all his own.
    G1 Scourge (new mold) Exclusives and Titaniums don't cut it. Galvy and Cyclonus got Universe respect, so should Scourge, easy repaint for Sweeps and total money maker for Hasbro in that respect.
    Blitzwing (Yeah, don't like the deluxe size for Triplechangers as said before, but the other two are already there in that size, time to complete the trio)
    Battletrap & Flywheels (Duocon love....mmmmmm)
    Insecticons (could be easily repainted from the Predacons Cicadon, Ram Horn and Sea Clamp, plus would allow combination feature, call it 'Infesticus' or something)

    Voyager or Ultra Class:
    Thunderwing (WANT)
    Straxus (DITTO!)
    Jhiaxus (PWNAGE!)


    Oh, and any Combiner groups. Not barely movable bricks like G1, no fairly stiff and holds together half the time Energon types either. Heck, the simple simplisity of Silverbolt begs for the other Aerialbots, so would (I imagine) Onslaught (though I've never had a desire at all to buy Universe Onslaught).

    There's other stuff I wouldn't mind seeing for Animated (sadly done), Movie and Crossover items (no, not Marvel or Star Wars), but that wouldn't be in the spirit of the topic so I'll keep those to myself.

    And is it horrible that I really & truly want a Deluxe, show-accurate-as-possible BM Botanica?

    Forgot to add in my post

    Legends Frenzy, Rumble, Laserbeak, and Buzzsaw.

    The Ravage that came with Hound proved it's possible.

    Eh, personally I'm not worried about triple-changers. Astrotrain and Octane aren't perfect, but good enough, imo. That and it wouldn't bother me to alter a figure to improve upon it.

    This Jazz, from the very same post :wink:

    My Wish List!

    Deluxe:
    Jazz - new mold
    Wheeljack - new mold
    Blurr - new mold
    Wheelie - new mold, gotta have someone to take all the punishment.
    Quickstrike (Beast Wars) - because he was awesome, and you know you loved him
    Tigatron - recolor and remold of Universe Cheetor, otherwise NO!
    Rattrap - first version, and do him some justice
    Swoop - restyled to match good ole' grimmy
    Snarl - see above
    Slag - again
    Sludge - again

    Voyager:
    Blitzwing - new mold
    Springer - new mold
    Broadside - new mold (noticing a trend here?)
    Snapdragon - new mold
    Apeface - new mold
    Transmetal Megatron - because it can't all be G1, and face it, he rocks...

    Ultra:
    Sixshot - come on, can't be any smaller than this!
    Quickswitch - feel the sixchanger love!!
    Trypticon - new mold, but would settle for repaint of Cybertron Scourge
    Realistic Bulkhead - loved him in the show, think he deserves a place next to my Universe figs, could really work with just a new head on the Uni. Onslaught, recolored, of course
