I want a combination of Japanese G1 focusing on characters not originally released in America.

These are my imagined waves. I’m going by the numbers of figures per wave from Siege and Earthrise. If you don’t recognise a name, look it up on tfwiki but I’ve changed breast to beast. I think doing such a line-up would make the chapter feel fresh to those who don’t know who the characters are, but wouldn’t alienate long-term fans who do know who they are.

WAVE 1

BATTLE MASTERS
- Autobot Nebulon (to be partnered with Selects Ricochet)
- Autobot Nightstick
- Decepticon Browning

MICROMASTERS
- Autobot Road Police & Glide
- Autobot Circuit & Discharge
- Autobot Sireen & Neo Wheel

DELUXE
- Autobot Sixturbo (Jet/Robot combines with Micromasters to form a larger robot)
- Autobot Minerva (compatible with Titans Return heads)
- Decepticon Wilder (compatible with Titans Return heads)
- Decepticon Black Shadow (based on inner robot, Weaponizer compatible with Titans Return Skyshadow)

VOYAGER
- Autobot Sixknight
- Autobot Artfire (remolded from Earthrise Grapple, to be partnered with Nightstick)

LEADER
- Autobot Star Saber
- Decepticon Dezarus + Tigerbeast + Eaglebeast

COMMANDER
- Decepticon Liokaiser (splits into six components with their own robot/vehicle modes and mini beasts)

TITAN
- Autobot Grandus + Micromaster Spinner


WAVE 2

BATTLE MASTERS
- Decepticon Kakuryu (Dinosaur)
- Decepticon Rairyu (Dinosaur)
- Decepticon Goryu (Dinosaur)

MICROMASTERS
- Autobot Wing & Waver (combines into Wingwaver)
- Autobot Mach & Tackle (combines into Machtackle)
- Autobot Dash & Tacker)
(combines into Dashtacker)

DELUXE
- Autobot Landcross (vehicle/robot disassembles and combines with Micromasters to form a larger robot, compatible with Sixturbo)
- Autobot Laster
- Autobot Braver
- Autobot Blacker (combines with Laster and Braver to form Road Caesar)

VOYAGER
- Autobot Twincast (compatible with Siege cassettes)

LEADER
- Autobot Victory Leo (combines with Star Saber to form Victory Saber)


WAVE 3

BATTLE MASTERS
- Decepticon Doryu (Dinosaur)
- Decepticon Gairyu (Dinosaur)
- Decepticon Yokuryu (Dinosaur)

MICROMASTERS
- Decepticon Rairyu & Kakuryu
- Decepticon Doryu & Gairyu
- Decepticon Goryu & Yokuryu

DELUXE
- Autobot Go Shooter (compatible with Titans Return heads)
- Autobot Ranger
- Decepticon Dinoking (combines with Micromasters to form a larger robot, compatible with Sixturbo & Landcross)
- Decepticon Blue Bacchus (based on inner robot)

VOYAGER
- Decepticon Moon Jet (remolded from Earthrise Starscream)

LEADER
- Autobot Galaxy Shuttle + D-Go (remolded from Siege Astrotrain; train represents D-Go, new mini figure for D-Go robot mode)
- Decepticon Blue Bacchus (Pretender shell for Deluxe Blue Bacchus)

 

Beast Wars.

 

Honestly, I just want Skids, Jazz, Tracks, Rodimus Prime, Galvatron (same size as each other), and as many of the binary bonded characters that weren't in TR as we can get. Plus Metrotitan vs Omega Sentinel $350 pack for grins (with Metrogun and a couple MMs)

 

Masterforce.

more specifically,

Micromasters/Battlemasters
Holi
Pinpointer/Haywire
Neblueon

Deluxe
Minerva
Goshooter
Cab
Cancer
Wilder
Bullhorn

Voyager
Artfire

Leader
Star Saber
Victory Leo
Deathasaurus

Commander
Liokaiser
Blackzarak

 

Micromaster Combiners would be a great way to end the trilogy.
G1.5. Hyperdrive would be an amazing Commander Class.
G2 Gobots and Cyberjets in DX size
Leader Dreadwing and Smokescreen
I suspect that TT skipped Victory, pushing their offerings ahead to Zone and Battlestars because Hasbro has plans for the Victory lads. They would be great here too. Let Star Saber be the last Autobot leader before the Great Reformatting

 

A mix of Beast Wars, micromaster combiners and later G1 bots like Star Saber. Throw in some out-of-town ideas in there as well for good measure.

 

Yes!

 

Hmmmmm...

I can see three different routes, all of which I'd happily take. Here's my Wave 1's (D, V, and L only; I couldn't think of any MMs or BMs for any of them):

A mix of Beast Wars/ 1986 TFTM characters and random Japanese G1 characters who I've never known before like Death Saurus

 

What I want, which is probable not cohesive, is somehow merging 86 movie, Beast Wars/Call of the Primitives, and a few stragglers from Earthrise into 1 line.

• 86 Movie: Definitely want Galvatron/Cyclonus/Scourge. Quintesson Prosecutor, maybe a new Kup and Blurr
• Beast Wars/Call of the Primitives: I want proper in-scale g1 Dinobots
• Earthrise stragglers: Blitzwing, Earth Van Bros, Blaster/Twincast. Also, where are Autobot Targetmasters, seriously?

 

I want any theme that includes Omnibots

 

86 Movie. We need Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge, Hot Rod/Rodimus, Kup, Grimlock, etc. done up in the WFC style.

 

I want the rest of the 86 movie cast. I need Kupp, Blur, HotRod/Rodimus, Galvatron, Cyclonis, Scourge and a Sharkticon.

 

Finish up the Headmasters and Targetmasters.

 

JG1 stuff. Minerva, Star Saber, Raiden (yes yes I know the MP is in the works), Grandus, etc. What about a Deathsaurus that isn't a teal Skylynx John Warden?

 

I mostly just want them to do original molds for guys who typically end up slumming it as unimaginative repaints. Nightbeat, Bludgeon, Jhiaxus, Thunderwing....Maybe even a few G1ized refugees from other lines. Bulkhead, Knockout, Lugnut..

Oh, and Big Honking Dinobots.

 

The theme is Unicron, isn't it? We should get any '86 Movie characters we didn't get in Siege or Earthrise. Might be cool if they did characters across the pantheon who are associated with Unicron, like the Beast Wars Neo Blentrons and Armada/Cybertron Sideways.

 

I have no doubt the rest of the Autobot Targetmasters and Powermasters will be made, so I'll throw in a request for Throttlebots in scale with Earthrise Cliffjumper. Might even be a good remold of Runamuck. I would have preferred the team to go with the previously released Legends Roadburn/Chase but that's looking more and more like a one off now.

I've been saying "Beast Wars" since Titans Return. I don't think it's happening.

So. What else? Micromaster Combiners would be cool.
Monstructor from Hasbro Pulse as a Selects toy. Dinoking from Takara Selects, finally using the unused POTP molds.

As for mass retail, what I'd really like to see is sold-seperately Constructicons. The Titan-sized combiners have so far been pretty flawed in one or more modes, which I think is understandable since Hasbro is banking on the combined form being the selling point, but it's massively disappointing to spend all that money, only say, "it looks fine, I guess".
So, I'd like to see individual Constructicons that have to sell based on their own, individual merits.

I don't think it'll happen in this trilogy (maybe the next one), but I'd really like to see them done better.
