    G1 Optimus Prime - I'd want to find a way to make his hands flip out instead of removable. I lost that first fist within weeks of owning that figure.

    (If I were give a second change, I'd give G1 Optimus the articulation of Classics... but that's just me being greedy.)

    CW Devastator - lower the knee joint in combined mode

    MP Sideswipe - bring his face forward more (on the shelf his face gets hidden in the helmet)

    Siege Jetfire - really needs a longer wrist peg

    Energon Scorponok - the brackets that connect his shoulders to his torso (Had 2 that broke both brackets after 1 transformation)

    G2 Laser Prime/RID Scourge

    These added features would get me to buy it.

    TR Slugslinger - make both cockpits functional with space for a titan master in each cockpit
    Siege Apeface - have space for his titan master in the cockpit instead of between thrusters
    TR PM Optimus - add PotP leader gimmick: make cab separable and transform into basic Optimus Prime
    TR & Legends Ginrai - keep foot design from TR PM Optimus (along with above change)
    CW Ultra Magnus - make Minimus Ambus a titan master for UM
    TR legends minibots (Windcharger, Outback, etc.)- make windows transparent as TakTom did for Legends Bumblebee w/ Spike
    UW Nosecone - use released G1 toy colors
    CW Scrounge - give him functionality with TR Blaster

    Give Siege Ratchet ball-jointed shoulders instead of swivels so I can floor polish them better.

    SS-01 Bumblebee: same face as SS-26. Don't mind the face he has, but I definitely prefer WWII Bumblebee's.

    SS-54 Megatron: 2007 movie accurate chest piece and have the wings fold up on the back instead of around the legs.

    MPM-3 Bumblebee: Allspark accessory.

    Earthrise Optimus Prime: silver face.

    Earthrise Starscream: make it in my posession.

    RID Sky-Byte: give him a wrist swivel for his right arm.

    SS Jetfire: Give him semi-articulated hands to hold his accessories convincingly.

    Energon Megatron: Give him biceps and/or thigh swivels, but bicep swivels are honestly more important.

    MP BW Megatron: Make him speak English.

    Get rid of the weird puppet mouths on Animated Leader Megatron and Ultra Magnus. It's a neat gimmick that works on Bulkhead, but just looks bad on the other two (Especially Magnus.)

    Legends Overlord: make the headmasters the powermasters and give him a dedicated head, which could be rotated to display both faces. Simple to what the Shockwave’s lab kit did.

    POTP Abominus: replace all stickers with tampos.

    MP Ratchet and Ironhide: Get rid of the asswheels. For an MP figure, I shouldn't have to buy an add-on to fix it.

    MP-28 HotRod: Get rid of the matrix gimmick for better clearance. No matter how hard I try, I cannot all fours wheels to touch the ground in alt mode.

    MP Hound: Better materials. I like everything about him, except for the cracks. The figure gets more cracks after no touching him. A big disappointment for an expensive figure.

    Titans Return Overlord: Have the tank attach to the jet mode. TR Sky Shadow does. o_O

    Something like this?
    DSC05421.JPG


    ....

    and for the question, my signature covers the main issue.

    ALL of the WFC figures would almost all two things that I'd change.. 1) the gaps... fill/cover those up already, and 2) better weapons/accessories for all.

    RTS Tracks/Gen Wheeljack - make the shoulder joints not be balljoints, you have to move them so much for transformation they get loose as hell
