    I mean I don't have access to their financial records but I have to assume they are. I figure thats why Fanstoys have released roughly one billion versions of their dinos. If there were no money to be found in that vein why tap it so hard?

    Can we get a vegetable mode, for Crissakes, preferably potatoe/avocado? Also accepting other food modes such as flying nacho.

    I'm just waiting for a MtMtE Whirl that can pull off a transformation and also be able to hold up his own weight on those skinny chicken legs. MMC's Whirl doesn't do it for me because I'm not really a fan of the Stormbringer design as it makes him look too beefy. My ideal Whirl would also come with a digital clock set to 1:13, a chibi holoform version, and an alt head with a "squinty" eye that is one of the few ways that face can show emotion.

    Barring that, I could just do with a Nendoroid version of the holoform.

    Devastator...if someone had gotten it right, there wouldn't be eleventy billion of them with more on the way.

    Movie Bumblebee...same reason.

    Combined mode of giant is still Fucking brilliant, perhaps still by far the best looking combiner to date.

    A CHUG Ironhide, Igears was good but too difficult/dangerous to Transform and was not CHUG enough. I would happily like to see Planet X or MT Cross Dimensions take a swing at it.

    I believe you are looking for the potato combiner known as Devas-tater.

    Minus the head... The fang wrinkle head is the worst Dev head to date.

    Exactly. Appoylon is generally regarded as the best looking Megatron ... personally its one of those rare figure where i wouldn't even want it for free.

    The Seekers. The best seeker molds so far have been the voyager Galaxy Force Starscream mold, the Gen. Armada Starscream mold, the Energon Starscream mold, the MP Starscream mold and arguably the FOC seeker mold but they all fall short in their own ways. I want a proper Voyager Seeker mold that evokes but updates the original G1 design from either Has/Tak or one of the third parties.

    I liked the looks of those, but their headsculpt is absolutely hideous and the price is a little too high. If they ever released it with a proper head, I'd consider the purchase.

    I don't think that's entirely right. Whether or not a version was nailed at any point, Movie Bumblebee keeps getting remade because Bumblebee sells a crapload of toys to children. Or Hasbro wants him to. Probably both, really. But I'll agree with you on Devastator.

    pretty much any combiner. Oh yeah.. and Megatron. I don't understand why we still don't have a Megatron MP-10 equivalent. Maketoys did a good job, but still not there. I can't stand the TT version, bleh.

    IIRC they had scrawny arms, giant boots, hideous torsos, and a face not even a mother could love.

    Maybe FT will make one after TT Megs is released, like they did with their Hot Rod.
