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)

Metroplex Autobot city huge playset

 

 

 

Those are some Universe I thought of... :argh

 

Isn't that what fortmax was for? :tflaugh

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

But the Energon Starscream mould (I still love that figure) had a unique transformation scheme when it comes to the Seekers.

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 :D

 

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!"

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 :P

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.
