What TF 25th anniversary toys would you have liked to seen in 2009,but
probably won't?please share want list,with reasons why? please try to
grab from all TF toy/cartoon era's/lines

Here's my short list:

(1) Beastwars 1998 Transmetal 1 Megatron completly re-done in the
voyager $20 price/size scale. The mega sized $14.99 toy form was kinda
small & far too easy to transform.
(2) 1987 G-1 Sixshot updated in either the voyager,ultra or leader
sized. toy just desreves to be taken from brick to super poseable
form.
(3) 1986 G-1 Galvatron done in the voyager or ultra size scale. with a
robot mode that matches his 1986 cartoon/movie robot & laser canon alt
mode.
(4)1986 Rodimus Prime,either done as a recolor of 2005 Cybertron
leader sized Megatron. or a completly new mold that's either voyager
or ultra sized.
(5)finally release that stage 1 Titanium 6 inch TF'S of
Shockwave,arcee,cosmos & ww bumblebee that got cancelled.
(6)Either masterpiece or classics/25th Predaking,released as 5 deluxes
that form predaking. no pop on/pop off combiner accessories,this time
around lets have the combiner pieces built into the individual robots.
toys can be sold seperatly as deluxes & then later on as a store
exclusive in a combiner gift set.
(7)BM tankor that's voyager sized & resembles the cartoon in design.
(8) Energon toy line/series Rodimus Prime toy enlarged to the voyager
size scale.
(9)Armada Tidsalwave re-done as a ultra sized toy that's beyond super
poseable & cartoon colored accurate. are knee joints,head joint,waist
joint,more rotate limb joints too much to dream for?? at this rate a
TF fan would add the needed joints before Hasbro.
(10) A lion transformer that's not awfully designed like lioconvoy &
leobreaker. I enviosion the perfect lion toy too have the super
poseability of lioconvoy but the tight & powerful design of
leobreaker. sort of like a fusion between both toys. maybe hasbro
could call this toy 1986 G-1 Predacon Razorclaw. make the toy as
voyager sized toy.

I'm pretty sure that the Voyager size is the same as the Mega size,
give or take a little.

I've not been too enthused with the "redone" modern toys, at least
from the pictures we've seen online, and the Armada Predacon version
of this mold fixed some of the structural problems.

I'd be happy not getting this.

But G1 Sixshot is super poseable. You can pose him, and he looks
super!

Pretty much guaranteed to not happen any time soon, since we got
Universe Galvy.

I could go for a Razorclaw version of BM Snarl, but it might end up
looking too much like Universe Snarl...

-----

The few I want to see could be done on the cheap:

BW2 Hellscream redecoed as RID Sky-Byte. We need a RID homage for the
25th Anniversary, and Sky-Byte really was an awesome character with a
terrible toy.

BW2 Dirgegun redecoed as Waspinator. It would be a fun and wacky
update to Waspy, and bring the mold back to character who started it.
The mold has never been seen on US shelves, so it would have a bit of
novelty.

Animated Cybertron Prime redecoed as Kup. A young, spritely Kup.

Gustavo!

Note: I would also be delighted with "Red Army Bulkhead", a brick red
redeco of Animated Bulkhead, with yellow stars and a tech spec saying
that when he went off to study in the big city, he dabbled in Marxism.

It would be kinda neat to get a Classics toy of Brawn. I've always had
a problem with his original toy. Brawn is supposed to be, like, really
strong... but his toy was really SMALL and had really skinny limbs.
And had a facemask rather than a face.

A deluxe-size Brawn that actually resembles his G1 cartoon appearance
would be pretty fly.

I'd like to see the following:

(1) An Arcee figure that is reminiscent of the Movie / Season 3 design.
I know we've gotten the motorcycles and the Blackarachnia repaint, and
I think there was a transforming model kit many years ago, but I'd like
a G1 inspired version. The Binaltech is a step in the right direction,
and the canceled titanium may have done the trick, but in the end, it
never came out.

(2) A non-brick Rodimus Prime. I was majorly disappointed with the
titanium and would love to see a version that is a progression of
Classics Hot Rod.

(3) Fortess Maximus rerelease please!

(4) Any of the RID Car Brothers. Great alt modes, terrible robots.

(5) Some new form of Wheeljack. Loved the original and would love to
see a modern version.

There's a rumor of a TF animated deluxe sized arcee toy. this toy is
rumored to have a robot & alt mode similar to the 1986 movie & season
g-1 season 3 arcee.

Even though TF Classics 2.0 universe is said to be the homage mold TF
toy line. I find that the TF animated designs better homage molds.
examples: animated blurr,animated swindle,animated wreckgarr,animated
waspinator,etc........

Do note that those are all toys from the future. You might just be
suffering from the "Grass is always greener over there" syndrome.

The recent Classics line has a couple of fantastic homages --
Silverbolt, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker leap to mind. If you add in the
Wal-Mart redecos that were originally planned for Classics, that's a
few more.

Animated seems more like reinterpretations than homages to me -- very
fresh and different from the originals.

A Classics Hotspot based on Cybertron Optimus Prime would be pretty
awesome. Or even based on RID Prime.

To be honest, I've always been a bit iffy about Fort Max. I'll admit that
the toy does have a lot going for it, besides its sheer weight and size.
It has a lot of play value with its endless fiddly bits and accessories,
there's the double-Headmaster aspect, it can interact with minibots and
Minicons, and the character got a lot of comic-book time. The original
color scheme is quite appealing, too. And the robot mode is fairly
impressive.

The problem I have with it (apart from the cost) is that the altmodes suck
bowling balls through garden hoses. He's a blocky robot which turns into a
pile of blocks with ramps or lies down on its back. I don't mind the
actual concepts of the altmodes - big robot, city/base, starship - but the
execution was, to be honest, lacking.

Although I'd support a rerelease for the same reason as a rerelease of the
Dinobots - so that everyone who's been slavering over them for the past
two decades can finally sate themselves for at least a week.

Now, a _Classics_ Fort Max...

SPOILER SPACE


Ok. I had read over at tformers.com that Arcee may actually be three
motorcycles that join in a gestalt manner to form ol' Arcee. How true this
is, I've no idea. They did have a supporting "insider" snapshot picture of
what I believe was Shia and Megan riding a pink motorcycle being chased or
something, (it was a vague pic, and I'm not going to look for it again at
the moment-just going on memory.) So, if it's true, it's not a G1 homage at
all, moreover preparing us for gestalt-type transformations as far as I see
it.

This also may be a part of the Bay misinformation campaign. Who knows?

...mind you, what if ONE of the three cycles got demolished in battle?
Wouldn't that be a problem for her? 8^)

I find this rumor hard to believe. after all micheal bay did say he
was throwing out tons of mis-informartion. I find the rumor hard to
believe based off character & toy concepts. the 3 motorcycles would
have to be either all deluxe size or basic size & form a voyager or
ultra size toy. why would arcee get a combiner toy.

I personally think there were 3 motorcycles used to shoot the one
arcee in vechicle mode.

What would be cool is if there was 3 motorcycles that were
arcee,elita-1 & blackarachnia. it would be cool if all 3 had
individual robot & alt modes. then all 3 combined to form the very
first female TF combiner. the individual robots would all be deluxe or
voyager sized & form either a voyager/ultra sized toy or a super sized
toy.

If that comes out, that'll work for me! Thanks for the tip, Deathy.

I haven't seen those yet, but I really dig the Animated line and will
definitely get them when they ship. Homage or not, I love the animated
toys.

True, but for me, the animated toys have been awesome, so I think it'll
stay green once it arrives. I don't love them because they're similar
to G1, I love them because they're a ton of fun and cool all packed
together.

Agreed. I just picked up Ironhide and really like him. He's not
getting a lot of love around here, and I can understand why. He's got
way too many lines and painted windows in vehicle mode, but that gives
us a transformation we've never seen before. I like the way his parts
move around, especially his rear wheels, and in this particular case,
I'll forgive the design aesthetic for the design function.

Also got Sideswipe - that's the way to do a redeco!

All very true and agreed upon. Still want :)
