    With Victory Leo being funded, I have a feeling that we may see some more smaller (in comparison to Unicron) things. Maybe box sets for 200 or other larger than commander figures. What would you like to see going forward?

    I'd love to see....

    God Ginrai - yes I know we got one in TR, but I'd love to see a proper one with a cab that turns into ginrai, a powermaster, and godbomber. Also, a godbomber that isn't a pain in the butt to combine and has less kibble

    Rail Racer done as the same size as a CW/POTP combiner. three leader sized figures that the combined mode has good articulation

    God Fire Convoy - just a modern interpretation

    or some cool box sets could be fun of a few figures.

    Beast Machines Maximals - 3 voyager (Optimus, Cheetor, Silverbolt) 3 deluxe (Rattrap, Black arachnia, Botanica)

    - Autobot X. Non-transforming, premium-deco, high-detail, masterpiece-scale.

    - G1: Sunbow and TF: Prime human cast, 1\12 scale. High-quality, full-detail, full-articulation, similar in quality to 1\12 scale GI Joe figures. Sell them in groups of 3-6 characters, whatever makes sense.

    - Official, plastic-molded, highly textured and detailed diorama pieces designed to fit inside typical shelving units. Similar in size to Toyhax cardboard scenes. With 5mm posts and ports and 3mm posts to attach equipment and blast effects, and support for placement of electronics like LEDs and small display panels.
    * But should they support Masterpiece scale, or CHUG scale (with all its inconsistencies?)

    - The actual Nemesis (equivalent to the Ark, can go a bit higher on budget)

    - Playset-sized Astrotrain and Jetfire\Sky Lynx ship modes that you can fit a number of CHUG figures inside, think TF equivalents of Castle Grayskull

    A proper God Ginrai would be really cool. That’s my #1. But it would probably be a mainline release because of Power Master Optimus Prime.

    Deathsaurus to go with Victory Saber.

    Masterpiece G1-styled Devastator, Superion, Bruticus, and Defensor. I realize it's not small, but it's substantially smaller than Unicron or the Sentinel.

    I feel Deathsaurus could be a commander figure, but maybe if done to the nines it could be a good Haslab. I don't think I would get it though. I have the planet X version and I really like that.

    Wouldn't MP Combiners just be really expensive? I don't do MP figures, so I don't knnow the pricing well, but isn't a MP like 100 bucks? So Devy would be a minimum of 600 dollars, probably closer to 800. I didn't really mean small as in size, I more meant small as in price. Like how Victory Saber was 179.99.

    Deathsaurus is supposedly getting a mainline release, so that's out.

    I would honestly like playsets or dioramas. The Ark and Nemesis bridges would be awesome in the Generations scale.

    dios would be awesome. My dream if i ever won the lotto would be to get like 12000 sq feet and make a series of dioramas and when I finish one start a new one. I already thought of a few. One owuld be the death of dinobot. another dream i have is to get 2 USS Flaggs and turn one into a decepticon warship and the other into an autobot warship.

    In another thread I was talking about how I'd love to get a big warehouse and make a big volcano-looking mountain inside, and the outside surface of it would have alcoves for figures with RGB programmable networked lighting and servo-controlled closeable doors. And if I'm going that far, I guess I may as well have the whole thing set up as an environment-controlled clean room so there's no dust and the temp and humidity are kept as static as possible. And have drones that fly around to place and remove figures so I can recall specific figures to put in different displays or when I want to handle them, and a cabinet that automatically dusts them off and monitors for plastic degradation.

    Just make that Armada Optimus prototype into a Haslab project if it's really in the "no man's land" price point. Maybe a 3-pack with a new Jetfire and Overload.

    personally id like to see them do an animated haslab, namely a final battle set of optimus and megatron. it would easily get funded if they ever did it.

    One of the umpteen speculation/leak threads.
    It was rumored for a while.

    MP scaled action master style combiners could get my $. Thinking Sentinel level of detailing around that size and price, with better joints...
