    Did you see a new figure from Botcon that you feel is already begging for a repaint? If so, which figures?

    It would barely be a repaint, but I could live with Voyager Optimus being Ginrai somehow. Maybe being remolded for a Powermaster port? Whatever.

    And either one of the Leader Megs needs some bright green/purple G2 camo, although that might be a bit close to the Armada Megs deco as is.

    Looking at Brainstorm, I feel like he was designed with a Mindwipe remold in mind. Just swap the jet wings for bat wings, lose the nosecone, and put a bat head and feet on there somewhere. Seems feasible.

    Paradron Medic, Hasbro has never used that paint scheme on any Arcee molds. (I don't count the HoC PVC as it isn't transformable.) Plus I don't want another impossible to find Takara only exclusive paint job of PM like Ariel Paradron type from the Energon mold.

    Chromia as Afterburner. I'm all for retconning some gender diversity into combiner teams, a la Animated Drag Strip.

    I can't think of any. The only one I'd probably settle for is Arcee into Moonracer.

    A few years ago we got a Beast Wars Razerclaw from the Cybertron Liobreaker.

    Take generations Rhinox with a new head sculpt and make him Headstrong. He was the rhino, correct?

    Would have loved to see Megatron in the G2 color scheme. I mean... it's still green, it's still a tank, and it's still Megatron, plus they wouldn't even have to remold the head like on the planned Armada deco.
