    I'd love a reissue of Electro that didn't shatter with a touch. Superion, too.

    Does Hasbro have access to the BW Neo molds? I'd love to see those.

    They have some of them I know that because i have the english release of Magmatron,and some of his predacons were used in the Walmart and Target exculsive Dinobot lines back in the 2000's. Also they used Big Convoy to make a target exculsive black redeco called Nemesis Prime.

    I've narrowed it down to two but I can't seem to decide

    The latter portion of G1/Headmasters, Powermasters and such

    How about some Animated and Beast Wars stuff they had some of the greatest toys in my opinion. Plus Lockdown is kind of getting popular an evolutions pack with Animated Lockdown, ROTF Lockdown, and AOE Lockdown would be perfect.

    Beast Wars Neo, perfect timing given the Predacons turn mostly into Dino era creatures.

    im weird with re-issues...and idk if this is just me being kinda greedy but personally, I think my point of view is in a way justified. There's kinda two sides to the coin to it:

    My answer, none. Reason, kinda hard to explain...Remember when MP Grimlock 1st came out? When he was gone and sold out everywhere, hooooly crap his prices went through the roof. People were PROUD to have him (except scalpers. screw them). Legit collectors were happy and lucky to have him. People would post pictures of him and I would say "damn, kudos to you for having that RARE, awesome, EXPENSIVE figure". It'd be like a trophy to collectors. Then, Hasbro re-issued him. This is around the time I actually managed to nab him. Now, I dont believe the secondary market prices went down too much, but my part of the issue with re-issues isnt so much about they money as it is that it diminished the VALUE of the figure to the COLECTOR's heart. Yknow? And then they re-issued him again. Oh! The perfect example is the re-issue of MP08X King Grimlock Dude, the prices of that thing. Ive heard 500-700 being spent on that guy. People HAD GOT to be proud of owning such a remarkable item and sought after figure. And now, reissue. Idk, this kinda just goes for hard to find figures. For me anyway.

    To make an example that I would thoroughly and totally feel this: Personally, if I would finally complete my journey of having Shattered Glass Optimus Prime, of which only 1300 (I believe) were made and just LOOKS AMAZING, and then Hasbro would just, re-issue it, idc how much it would be. The original one that I would hypothetically have would just feel a bit...de-valued to me. Not in money (though it may) but just...a tiny bit wasted. It would feel like more of a figure that anyone could own, not just the lucky few that could look at him and go "yeah, I have this. This is a trophy of mine."

    Though one could definitely say that that's the greedy half of my argument. On the flip side, It gives more fans the opportunity to get something they missed out on. And thats great. And you could also argue that the collector's value only diminishes if you let it. You could still look at it and go "whatever, I have the original one".

    Just having a figure you worked so hard to get, then hasbro going and re-issuing and one could jsut get it on BBTS or something, you kinda just go "...oh...well...ok."

    Ok. I'm done now.

    I'd want to see reissues of all the GPS victims. (obviously without the gps.) call it Transformers: Gold Series.

    Any one line that deserves a rerelease: Robots In Disguise.

    Optimus Prime, 10-changer Megatron, X-Brawn, Scourge, plus plenty of random smaller releases... it was a genuinely excellent line. I mean, at this point I have everything from it I'm interested in (other than Magnus), but I still think it would be good for people who missed it to get a crack at these molds.

    Unicron Trilogy would be a nice start. It would fill in as better, simple toys instead of that stupid AoE shit clogging up shelves.

    Yeah, woot woot. The occasional Generations homages have been nice, and the platinum editions have been okay, (but Omega Supreme aside, they haven't chosen the best molds, where's my Galvatron?) but a line focusing on releasing some of the best the Unicron cycle had to offer would be most welcome.

    let's see: I want Armada Megatron, (I appreciate the upcoming leader homage but the original mold was great,) Cybertron Optimus Prime, Energon Rodimus, Energon Scorponok, Energon Galvatron. A platinum edition set of Armada Optimus+Jetfire+Overload would be really sweet. Vector Prime, because OMG one of the best TFs ever.

    A gradual moving forward through the generations would be nice, so far reissues have pretty much stuck to G1 and to the most part the earlier/or most well known figures of G1. It would be nice if they continued through Headmasters, Pretenders, micromasters, actionmasters, into Beast Wars a just kept going.
