Hasbro shouldve done a devastation 5 year anniversary exclusive line where they repaint the wfc characters (and potp grimlock) into their devastation counterpart

 

I really, really, really want this now. They’d probably call it Orion Pax for simplicity’s sake.


I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- deluxe class pretenders consisting of a non-transforming body with an opening chest and a pack-in micromaster as the inner robot. They’d be smallish deluxes to have enough plastic for the micromaster.

What about Earthrise Slammer? We got Scamper and Six-Gun, but where is Slammer? He will share engineering with Fasttrack and Brunt. He will resemble like a Sentinel robot from the G1 Cartoon. That would be cool as Fortress Maximus has Cog, Trypticon has Brunt and Full-Tilt, Scorponok will have Fasttrack, but Metroplex doesn't have Slammer.
Imagine Generations Selects Metrosquad. The Metrotitan part of the set is a redeco of Thrilling 30s Metroplex. Metrodash will be a Thrilling 30s Scamper Repaint. Metroshot would be a good Siege Six-Gun Redeco. Metrotank is made of that Earthrise Slammer mold. And Metrobomb is a car Micromaster. It should be easy to make the Earthrise Skystalker mold and repaint it for Metrobomb.

Finally, re-releasing toys that have become victims to the dreaded Gold Plastic Syndrome. They could easily make the metallic plastic out of regular Transformers toy plastic. Simply combine the colors of the plastic so they match the original metallic plastic's color, add a little untarnishing metal dust to the plastic, and boom, metallic plastic. How is my idea, ladies and gentlemen?

 

I love this idea.

 

I really like the Magnus combiner idea TBH I'm surprised they didn't do an Ultra Magnus Combiner Torso. Could have even drawn from 'Maximus Ambus' from IDW though probably called Ultra Maximus or Maximus Magnus or something if they had gone that route.

 

So, the R.E.D series has officially brought back Action Masters. At first I was like "Meh", but it occurred to me that this idea has potential for things that aren't really viable in the main line. Hear me out- Giants and Monsters subline!

Okay, so the first "big one" I would suggest would be Unicron.


I know that Haslab is already a thing, but it was obscenely expensive, the pre-orders gone, most people aren't going to be able to afford it Or Studio Cell for that matter And this would be the next best thing. He could be made as a large (Perhaps 12 inch, exact height doesn't really matter, he doesn't scale accurately with anyone anyway) action figure and without having to transform, this means they could make him extremely movie accurate. Perhaps including some fun stuff like Articulated fingers? This could be a very strong seller to people who just want a nice figure of the robot mode to go with their Generations stuff.

And if a R.E.D Unicron sold well, there are other options from there...

*Primus
*Halonix Maximus
*The Deep Dweller
*Asteroid bird alien
*Giant Purple Griffin
*The Driller(DOTM)
*Alpha-Q (Energon)
*The Fallen (Could be in lieu of a Studio Series release as long as it scaled correctly, I don't think people would mourn the nonsense "jet mode" too much if it meant a super-accurate robot mode with great articulation)
*AOE Dinobots Grimlock, Slug, Scorn, and Strafe (Fully articulated, movie accurate on a level we'd never get otherwise due to being non-transformable)
*TLK Dragonstorm (Because a truly movie accurate toy is literally impossible to make into a coherent combiner)

 

A combiner made of ten Micromaster-sized toys. Kinda like Dairugger/Vehicle Voltron.

 

So how do you think of Earthrise Slammer?

 

I don't have Metroplex so it doesn't mean much to me but it's good idea.

 

My idea for the Gold Plastic is actually inspired by the fact that the new Mashin Sentai Kiramager has metal fragments in the plastic to give it a crystalline look.

 

With how Hasbro were going to make figures based off of horror themed characters such as the Universal Monsters it'd be cool if they brought back that idea but rather update it to rather then transforming versions of those characters,have the figures be their own characters that carry iconic design traits from the horror character they're representing. Similar to how both Ecotron and Gigawatt are their own characters despite having iconic vehicle modes.

So for modern times they can be based off of slasher characters like a Freddy Kruger type bot,or Jason Vorhees or even Ghostface.

 

Sort of like Universe Defensor, Universe Devastor, Universe Superion, Universe Rail Racer, & Return of Convoy Sixliner.

 

Cool, actually. Maybe I can see if I can get any of those without spending too much money.

 

I'm watching a couple on the Bay right now.

 

Make a Sparkeater, pretty sure there's been several horror movie monster types in Transformers fictions that would fit in such a line  

 

Oh yeah.   A Sparkeater would be perfect in a horror themed line.

 

With Crossover themed TFs been a thing now, what about Transformers-Gundam Crossver figures? You could have something like a Optimus Prime figure that transforms into Nu Gundam (In Optimus Prime's colors), or a Megatron that transforms into Sazabi (In Megatron's colors)?

 

I'd definitely buy those!
