ever since you were a child, growin up watchin the shows and gettin the toys, everyone must have had ideas for their own transformer so what was yours?
I used to really want a Monster Truck Transformer, where each of the wheels were 4 seperate bots. So, when in robot mode you have the main body bot and four smaller wheel ones as well. These could then combine into a gestault! He could be the first 5 combiner in both robot and vehicle mode! Plus Monster trucks are cool!
An idea made of 100% concentrated genius. I remember growing up thinking it would be awesome if they had transformers big enough to fit my gi joes, or even my MASK figures in. Now we have human alliance figures. Or a transformer that was like the crash test dummy toys - you push a button and they'd fall to pieces. These days, I'd love to see a combiner made entirely of voyager-class figures. Or an update to the pretender concept.
I've got quite a few ideas, but admittedly they weren't from my childhood, as I didn't grow up with Transformers. But I think my favourite ideas (which I have drawn up in MSPaint along with the rest of my ideas) were the Autobot golf cart and the Maximal combiner composed of a kangaroo, a koala, a platypus, an echidna and a wombat.
All the time used to draw Autobots who transformed into whatever car my Dad owned at the time. When I went to visit my Uncle it was his car. IIRC I also used to draw The Real Ghostbusters and TMNT Transformers crossovers.
I remember thinking as a kid that a fossilized Dinobot would be the coolest thing ever, even if I never went so far as to think HOW it would be done. Bone frame with lots of translucent plastic, I guess? My Uncle Billy worked on the apache, so I always wanted a Trasnformer of one. Thank you, Hasbro, for fulfilling that one. =D Now if they ever combined my two favorite things, Transformers and the red panda, into a BW red panda figure, I'd be thrilled.
I have an idea for an MP sub-line, where an MP of a combiner limb gets released once every few years, and eventually, after five years or six years, if you have ALL of them, you can make a massive combiner entirely out of MP toys!
Oh...lots of Maximal and Predacon ideas. Like the puglistic equine: Donkeypunch! The Brother/sister wrestling team: Cockblocker and Chicken Choker! Or the nefarious Predacon pirate: Bearded Clam! Or... Heh. Early concept I had? Decepticon. Umbra. Stealth hovertank, no Earth mode. - Coeloptera
That thing would never stand due to the sheer weight of the limbs! For the half a second it would be upright it would be the coolest thing of all time however.
A French Bulldog Transformer who's the captain of a pirate ship and leads his own crew in the Beast Wars Era.
WWII-era vehicle modes for some of our favorite characters. A few examples: Optimus Prime (M25 'Dragon Wagon') with Roller (M-24 Chaffee); combines with trailer and Roller to form super mode Warpath (Soviet T-34 medium tank) Powerglide (Gloster Meteor) Broadside (Essex-class aircraft carrier) with Micromaster Air Patrol (Vought F4U Corsair, Douglas SBD Dauntless, Grumman F6F Hellcat, Grumman TBF Avenger) Megatron (Panzerkampfwagen E-100) Starscream (Messerschmitt Me262) Lugnut (Henschel Hs-129) Blitzwing (Panzerkampfwagen V Panther/Focke-Wulf Ta-152) Tidal Wave (Yamato-class battleship)
I remember envisioning the tractors on my family's farm being Transformers. Would that count as an idea for Transformers?
