    In the past, Classics has had some figures non-G1. Say Generations has a TFA character that's already been made. Who would you want this update to be?

    I'd want the Seeker mold to be redone. I love the origional voyager, but I think he needs an update.

    Oil Slick to be show accurate. Or Sentinel Prime. He really needed a voyager toy.

    Much as it pains me to say this, Bumblebee.

    The Deluxe is woefully out of scale (the current smaller size for Deluxes would actually work in its favor), the figure is relatively weak (his stingers are awful, his hands are meh), he could have a removable battle mask, heck you could even throw in a PVC of Sari in the combat suit. He's really the only primary character whose figure isn't up to snuff. The rest of the principal cast have great representations (with at least two mainline molds apiece, counting Samurai Prowl's remold), but Bumblebee, surprisingly, doesn't.

    Their all really good. Maybe Swoop so he would have his deployable spikes on the mace and the knees going the right direction without having to flip the shins.

    Stareing at my Animated Shelf now. What a great run it had really. I enjoy practically every toy in this line. Except Activators Lockdown.

    When I think update, I think of Animated character done in Classics style. Lugnut definitely fit the bill, and although Lockdown has a lot of movie influences, I could consider him Classics due to the nature of the character in the first place.

    I'd love to see a "Classics" version of Oil Slick myself. I LOVE his animated toy...one of my favorites, and if Hasbro updated him it would be heaven for me.

    I wish Voyager Grimlock's chest closed up more, but that and Bumblebee's deluxe are the only real complaints I have. Well, and that Sentinel needed a Voyager mold.

    That really was a good line. I only wish they'd got a chance to do more characters from it. An Animated Warpath would have been awesome, as would the Constructicons whose absence from the toyline hurts like heck after watching the Animated reruns.

    Now if you want to take an Animated Character and move him into Generations, I am ALL about Lockdown getting a Classics mold. He was a fun character and a great animated toy.

    Well they tried to rectify some of those scale issues with the Hydrodive Bumblebee version of the figure, but it never received a US release.

    Well, given we got Generations Warpath and a Perceptor-truck-thing...

    The Constructicons, please.

    Failing that, a voyager-class rubbish truck Wreck-Gar with a transformation scheme a bit beyond a legends-class toy.

    Failing that, Wasp.

    Blackout. What was released was rather tiny and odd, not to mention Asia-only.

    I would gladly throw away any slots for a Spittor, but since he's not a valid choice in this topic, I'll have to go with someone else.

    ....

    Wait for it....

    ...uh, can't think of any. I'm pretty happy with the Animated toys I've got.
