I was watching my Beast Machines DVD set today, and I realized there were a number of good designs on the series that really should have seen toy incarnations. Optimal Megatron, Botanica, and Megatron's giant floating head fortress all should have been made toys. Especially the giant floating head, and I don't mean like the RiD Megahead toy, I mean a show accurate one that transforms in a massive spaceship.

With the new Universe line, fans are going to get to see many new figures based off of old characters that may never have seen toy forms before. So, my question to you is this- which characters from any generation of Transformers would you like to see finally given a toy form?

Botanica
The Head Ship you mentioned
A G1 Arcee
Those Alligator Sharkticons
The Ark
The Nemesis
Galvatrons ship
The Darkside
The Axelon
(all the ships should be playsets)
Autobot Spike
A season 1&2 G1 Cybertron
The traffic light and phone booth from Cybertron
More Junkions
A realistic gesalt city
Ultra armor for every White Prime Magnus out there
Weapons packs
A deluxe Dispensor
The Vok(they can make them with the alien battle stations)
That drone from Beast Machines
Megatrons command center from Beast Machines(I'm making something out of wire ties and tic tac boxes)
The G1 female autobots
Cassette drones
GIJoe ready voyagers through supremes
A Megatron that turns into a placement cannonClick to view attachment see don't that just scream Megatron!!!

Thats a good start for this wish list

Universe Frenzy (a blue Scrapmetal, using the original/Cobybot head)
Signal Lancer
G1 Arcee
ANY recolor of Energon Sharkticon. Love the toy, hate the colors

I would be all over an Autobot Spike and some official G1 Quints (Robot Heroes, even), and a Legends class Transforming Spike (and/or Daniel) in Movie Exosuits that turn into that little car mode.

I would strongly consider purchasing an Optimal Megatron retool of the Optimal Optimus mold.

http://TFormers.com/gv.php?mode=view&a...00&start=20

It's waiting for some kitbasher...


Consider? SOLD

I fear I may be too anti-Beast Machines...but the figure itself would just be too cool for school independent of the show.

And speaking of retools of that mold, I would totally buy it redone as Quickstrike's remote control suit from Beast Wars...provided it came with a Quickstrike figure to pilot it, of course.

Re-tool of Optimal Optimus as Optimal Megatron... AND a show-colors repaint of Blast Punch Optimus Primal, thx.

Barring that, a Robot Heroes set along these lines will do nicely

Optimal Optimus is one of my favorite figures. If they did this they couldn't just change the face plate. They'd have to remove the beast mode and give it arms that can get blown off and reattach, and

Hey isn't that Titanium Optimal Optimus?




Give it time. I hope they redo Unicron so I can have him in a giant kiddie war with Galactus.

If Hasbro sells a Superhero Squad Sentinel-sized Floaty Megatron Head, I'm there. Because it will be huge, and have a big grin on its face.

I would like to see:

G1 Arcee and a head master version with daniel as head master. Wasnt there plans for that to happen?

Also would like to see takaratomy or jizaitoys make a microman style figure of daniel with Spike's exosuit that can transform into car mode . It could even be just parts transformation. also have the blaster arm from the animated movie.

I'd like a better version of victory saber that doesn't suck, or at least has good articulation. I'm looking at you RM victory saber

I concur with all suggestions made and would like to reiterate my desire for a RiD Prime repaint/retool into Hot Spot, and A red hiss tank that turns into Prime. (like the GI Joe Vs Comic) Plus other GI Joe TFs.

Show akkurat TM Rattrap (his gigantic ratwheel ass bothers me)
" " Scorponok

I'd also like to see Classics/Universe/25A-style Terrorsaur and Rattrap (non-TM) that are not hindered by an auto-transform gimmick thingy.

I'm okay with the other lines.

H.I.S.S. Optimus Prime, Ratchet and Ironhide.

IDW's Nova Prime, Sentinel Prime with Apex armor and Thunderwing...hell I'll take a Classics Thunderwing and Bludgeon
Plus trying to figure a new Reflector..

I'd love a Toon accurate Dragon BW Megs. You know, one with pecs, a neck and a dragon head arm that aint gimpy.

You know What I still want? A set of posable human drivers for my leg room having Alts. They can be based on Sam, Spike, Mikala, Carly, Rumble/Frenzy, Duke, Cobra Commander, Destro, The Baroness........

Before I'm done, a Rachet/Ironhide Scion repaint woulda been nice and an official Trailbreaker Dodge Ram.

WINNER!

All the "Hearts Of Steel" transformers.

Dispensor .. totally. Can't be any more awesome than having a vending machine as an alt mode.

I have seen some pictures of the purposed G1 Arcee toy.. and I'll tell ya, we're better off with the Energon/Movie Biker Arcee. That thing was friggin hideous.

Totaly!

Reflector Spy satellite, maybe?

Plus, I'm a combiner nut, so any of them would be awesome, but I doubt that will happen.

I'll third this, but I would be for an old-school like camera Reflector.
Add Universe Classics Sixshot to the list.

For an "out in left field-never going to happen" request I would like to see IDW's F-22 style Seekers.

Thanks. The ultimate toy I wish they had made but they totally cant is Alt Beetle Bumblebee and Cliffjumper. Stupid VW!

it's a ghey car

plus.....Who the farg wants a volkswagen!?




cheers to who ever knows in which video that came from....

Hippies!

~Matt Booker

Didn't they base the comic design for them on the Energon Starscream?

Definitely... all those designs are awesome.

...those, and G1 Soundwave's street light mode before he came to Earth.


...and since we're talking toys that were never released... who remembers this? Now that'd be awesome!




oh actually... I've just seen they did make the toys for that show! Mattel did... *goes to eBay right now*

seriously where have you been? I have Sawboss and the truck monster.

BW Neo Unicron is all I ask. And throw in Transtech while you're at it. And Devcon, and all the other umpteen G1 characters who never got toys.

England. Looks like those figures were never released here, and after viewing a few 80s TV show websites a while ago, I remember them saying that it was a shame toys for the show were never released. It was only after I went to find images of the show via a google search that images of the toys showed up

Stop lying! You know that you think Beetles are cute.

I would have taken a Mini Cooper Bumblebee too.

Me too but when Hasbro showed them the pic and he was holding a gun they pulled the rights.

Conceptually, yes. But the Energon Starscream mould (I still love that figure) had a unique transformation scheme when it comes to the Seekers. IDW, by the looks of it anyway, used the F-22 and the traditional Seeker transformation scheme.
So essentially what I would like to see is the Classics Seeker transformation worked into a F-22. But I know that's not going to happen, and I'm ok with that

http://www.tfu.info/1994/Decepticon/Smokes...smokescreen.htm

http://tfu.info/1995/Decepticon/SpaceCase/spacecase.htm

thinking about it the Macross style legs might be the most used transformation for any jet TF

any ways I have a lot of Ideas but I'd totally be over a classics shockwave and maybe seeing the BWneo and 2nd toys under the universe name

I hate to go uber-fanboy, but the Seekers (or Sky Raiders if you're Goki) specifically refer to Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Ramjet, Dirge, Thrust, and the various nameless henchbots who shared their same basic body type.

So basically not every jetforming Decepticon is a Seeker. Only those who are pointless/money grabbing repaints/retools

As for the Decepticon in question....

From the TF Wiki:

"There is a bizarrely long-running misconception that this mold was used to make Energon Starscream. However, this is absolutely not true, as while the transformation is nigh-identical, they are noticeably different in proportion. Plus, every single piece is a different sculpt between the two. The two toys share engineering, which is not uncommon, but they are definitely not the same mold. Retooling does not work that way! Good night!"

http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Smokescreen_(G2)#Trivia

Universe classics 2.0 toys they should make:
G1 Arcee
A huge Ark toy play set
Sunstorm
The Fallen
Optimus Prime (with a mold like the Prime from the G.I.Joe vs. TF comics)
Starscream (but a mold of him as what he looked like right before he turned to dust by Galvatron. I guess you can call that battle damaged.)
Predaking set
Bruticus set
Omega Supreme (G1)
Autobot city huge playset



Those are some Universe I thought of...

Isn't that what fortmax was for?

Fixed...

I want a show accurate Chip Chase with wheelchair accessory. He doesn't even have to have leg articulation.

*snort*

Oh I wasn't suggesting that he was a remold. But definitely a ripoff. Not that I don't think Energon (Energon) Starscream is a cool toy. Though they could have given him a bit less clear/painted-over plastic.

No worries, I just wasn't sure what you were getting at with the link to G2 Smokescreen, so I figured I would cover all the bases.
As for being a ripoff, well I wouldn't say that, 'cause TT/Hasbro can't really ripoff themselves
Lazy engineering though? Yeah. Definitely. F-22 G1 styled Seekers have potential to be cool. If they made figures based off of IDW's Seeker design I would never have a reason to be unhappy again.

But the Energon/Superlink version is still pretty cool. The Hasbro G1 repaint is the one to get. They replaced all of his clear plastic with solid greys and blues. I still want that version. All I have is the TT G1 repaint, witch is covered in transparent blue plastic. It's nice but meh.
