    If I had any artistic skill, I'd try. So, a request to any artists out there: please draw us those vehicles as Transformers with a gestalt combined mode. Pleeeeeeeeeeeease.

    Oh, and no Movie styling. Something that would fit in with the Universe toys pls. :D

    I was always suprised there wasn't a WWII toy line few years back when all those games like Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, etc were out. Along with the GI Joes/TF crossover comic from that time period.

    I'd love a WWII Starscream Zero. Maybe some autobot mustangs. Sherman and Panzer tanks. You have to think though that Takara and other Japanese toy companies prolly aren't as hot on the whole WWII thing. a Deception Atomic Bomb would prolly not be well received.

    I dont think food would work too well in the Transformers line for some reason dude...lol..I mean you would have Megatron (the W-p38) , the Ultimate engine of destruction , VS Frankimus Prime , the Universal defender of relish. I mean as soon as we open the box he would have to be refrigerated .

    Screw political correctness - they ought to suck it up and produce this toyline. Best idea in this thread since Optimus Sledge's Eighties vehicle gestalt.

    Starscream I see more as a Focke-Wulf Ta 152, Megatron as a King Tiger would rule so hard, and don't even get me started on what Animated Blitzwing and Lugnut could possibly turn into here. Optimus Prime could be an M26 Pershing or something.

    The only ones we've seen we're in minicon form.....and I don't count minicons based on 2 things:

    1.) They're poorly designed.

    2.) They just suck.

    No, no...the Rocket/Missle silo/base was actually the Micromaster "Countdown" aswell. Clearly the differences between Micromaster and minicon are apparent.

    There was also a sub...was it g2? I just dont recall.

    Ahhh...ok, I see. Micromasters I count. :D 

    As for the rocket transport....I guess I should have said Shuttle Transport, instead. Basically a transformer that transports Astrotrain if there are no rails for him.

    Its an honest mistake dude. No worries.

    Was not the lower half of SkyLynx that? I could be wrong.

    There is a pretty nice transforming bus - better than KO quality, but not real Transformer quality.

    There are some very nice Gobots, including a sub (Dive-Dive), that are often ignored by Transformer fans, but they shouldn't be.

    Finally, Minicons count as much as Micromasters and they are both sweet. I'll take them over Beast Wars style toys any day. It's everyone's personal opinion.

    OH YEAH...Dive-Dive..I remember him. Tux was my Favorite Go-bot though...gotta love the Top-hat.

    True that. Never wished to imply Minicons DONT count as TFs, I just personally prefer Micromasters , but that besides the point.

    how bout....

    1.) Batmobile

    2.) Human Being (but not a pretender)

    3.) Snowmobile

    4.) Speed Record Attempt Car (like the worlds fastest non-fictional car, which i believe is based on a jet?)

    5.) A second on the world war 2 alt-modes... perhaps a hand grenade would make an "explosive" character. im sorry. that was bad.

    Hmmm...here's my list, in no peticular order, though for all I know they could have been done already:

    -Ice-Cream truck- this could very well happen in the near future. Would be hilarious, imo.
    -Batmobile- Cybertron Megs came close, but I want to see something that's supposed to look like the actual Batmobile, if only we could somehow get a Crossovers figure of that...
    -Blimp- I'm not sure how good the bot-mode would be, but it would be interesting to see.
    -Turtle- ok, there was one that I know of, but I'd love to see a modern TF toy turn into a turtle.
    -Barn Owl- I know of one TF that turned into an owl, but I think it would be interesting to see one turn into a Barn Owl. As few owls as I see around here, Barn Owls are some of the more common ones.

    Broadside was the aircraft carrier but defintely not big enough for seekers. I full line of true aquatic TF would be kind of cool. I never considered playing with my seacons in the tub. The Animated toys may hold up well, except for electonic Leaders ofcourse, but I'd have to figure they would still eventually corrode some and theres nothing really specific good about them in water.

    I have a pool and we have kids over often, so really cool TF that did stuff in the water would be nice. Maybe like those torpedos that fly under the water. Wind ups or air pumps that could push them over the water. Or just water proof electronic ones. Hell just some that float really well.

    Glad yall like the WWII theme ones, that would be sweet. I like the 80's gestalt idea to but I'd kill to have a KITT vs KARR (/w Peter Cullen voice ofcourse!) two pack!

    If Hasbro DOES make a Classics Blitzwing, I hope he's styled like that.
