Sideswipe: Contents: G2-Inspired Redeco of DOTM Sideswipe X-cion from A.M Sais Drift: Contents: G1-Inspired Redeco of AOE Drift Bureido from Pral These are the example i layed down. so what do you think? other then all that,let's begin.
Here's the one I'm really wanting Hasbro to make, but it might be considered a spoiler, so I'm gonna tag it as such just in case. Spoiler It'd be Target exclusive, and called "Autobot Veterans" or "Autobot Heroes", something to that effect. Deluxe Leadfoot, Target logos and all, with the silver saw Mechtech. ROTF Deluxe Ratchet in DOTM Ratchet colors. The bio can talk about how Leadfoot and Ratchet stayed true to the Autobot cause until the very end, or something like that. As they were the only returning Autobots other than Prime and Bee, it'd be nice if they got some toy representation. Especially considering this is the last opportunity for Hasbro to release Deluxe Leadfoot and have it make sense.
I support the "Heroes" pack idea. Some of the UK guys and I were chatting about this last night and a couple we came out with were: Dinobot Charge Voyager Grimlock, Scorn, Slug and Strafe, all in more muted "weathered" decos to better resemble their onscreen looks Megatron Reincarnated Galvatron, Stinger, Lockdown and one or two car molds from previous movies redone as Stinger drones (my suggestion was the Roadbuster mold from Dark of the Moon maybe with a new head) Idea with both sets is to do for those respective groups in tweaked screen accurate styles in the same way the Autobots United set does the Autobots. A third one I just thought of: Arrival to Earth Dark of the Moon Deluxe Optimus Prime or Hunt for the Decepticons Battle Blades Optimus, either Revenge of the Fallen Preview Bumblebee or Hunt for the Decepticons Battle Blade Bumblebee, Hunt for the Decepticons Deluxe Ironhide, Dark of the Moon Ratchet and Movie 1 Jazz. All done in premium decos representing their appearance in the first movie commemorating the original form of Team Prime and one of the major moments of a major milestone in the 30 years history of Transformers.
I think this is a cool idea. Nemesis prime repaint of aoe leader class optimus prime and evasion mode optimus prime. Stinger vs bumblebee two pack Consist of a deluxe aoe bumblebee(modern camero mode) and deluxe aoe stinger (if hasbro ever realese a deluxe stinger toy) Transcaning 2 packs This set will be about when optimus prime and bumblebee turns into the new truck and the modern camer ne of the pack will include high octane bumblebee and modern camero bumblebee.The other pack will be evasion optimus prime(the one in the breakout set) and leader aoe optimus prime Also got another idea. This pack include hftd battle blade optimus prime and leader class aoe optimus prime.The other pack will be dotm deluxe bumblebee and aoe modern camero bumblebee.This two pack is to celebrate the success of the transformers movies
That is kinda a good idea. especially since leadfoot never made it in stores. i think. I love the Arrival to Earth multipack,still i guess you didn't point out Sam and Mikeala. since they had toys too. Hmmm,this is interesting. well. i hope you guys think up some more.
I could get behind these ideas. Personally, I'd be happy if they just released some of the cancelled sets, like that Sideways Sneak Attack set with a more screen-accurate Sideways and the three legends bike sisters.
Wait,i had a idea for a new multipack. Sea-Side Attack (Shark Week themed Shared Exclusive) Contents: Cybershark from Generations Sky-Byte Tsunami Bumblebee Shark-Themed Redeco of AOE New Camaro Bumblebee Spystreak- Redeco of HFTD Terradive based on the beast machines vehicon Multipack 2: Seawake Optimus Prime from AOE Evasion Prime (Shark Themed Redeco) Jawbreaker from Beast wars "Regular" Cybershark "Hunter" Lockdown (Colors based on Activators "Bandit" lockdown)
