I'd like the exact opposite - a new version of Straxus, more faithful to the comic.
Back when Universe was first announced, there was speculation that the Tigerhawk as Razorclaw repaint would be Tigerhawk in G1 Predacon colors. I still want that; basically a fused, Beast era Predaking.
And I've always wanted Ultra T.Rex Megatron in Jurassic Park T.Rex colors
Also, Optimal Optimus desperately needs better colors; I'd love to see him in his Ultra Ape/Season 1 colors.
Cybertron Optimus as Nemesis Prime. Its so armored it barely looks like a fire truck, it'd make a perfect Decepticon Optimus in the same way Laser Optimus did.
FoC Voyager Soundwave as BW Polar Claw with the Ratbat disc as his Cyberbat
>>5687092
>Ultra T.Rex Megatron in Jurassic Park T.Rex colors
There's always Wrecks.
>>5686982
really any old molds from before FOC.
I don't care what but it'd be nice to see them utilize some of the cancelled head retools Hasbro designed a while back, like Lugnut.
I was thinking just yesterday about how badly ROTF Breakaway needs a decent deco. I absolutely love the mold, but the colors are so wrong. I never liked the burgundy Thrust repaint either.
>>5687147
This Skywarp-y test shot leaked way back in 2010 but unfortunately it never happened.
>>5687154
Really though I just want a "premium" game accurate grey version.
G1 Seeker. I need it in more colours.

Step it up, kouhai.
>>5686982
i really love this mold too
maybe they can just make some good OC chars out of it
>>5687156
There's so many TFs I like, but their gaudy/ poor decos make it hard for me to justify keeping them on display. I'd love a bunch of repaints of Transformers redecoes in "real type" colors; more grounded and high quality schemes like real vehicles. That's why I love the Diaclone car robots. I'd love to see things like RTS Jazz in the silver Pontiac solstice colors, jetformers colored like real military aircraft, and so on.
Of course, when I mention this on TF forums, they call the idea boring and go back to sucking off G2 colors.
Part of me believes some of the Animated line can fit into RiD2015. please bring Blackout back
>>5687176
Huh no shit, maybe I'll hunt that down one day.
I always liked the Hunt For the Decepticons Jazz where he had speakers that could go on the car and attach to his gun
I really want this re-tooled into a male, preferably a new version of Wheelie. I think it would be awesome. I'll settle just for this mold in orange, I think it would look absolutely fantastic.
>>5687147
Honestly, if the bluegrey/green on that was darker, it'd be perfect for me.
I want more unusual colour schemes, but that one's... not too appealing as is.
I'd like to see this again, not sure as who or what colors, but it was a very fun figure.
>>5686982
UW Devastator in G2 colors just for shits and giggles.
FoC Metroplex re-released. The Fortmax retool is alright, but eh, I like white robots.
>>5687233
Don't you mean Afterburner? Wheelie was never a motorcycle.
>>5687243
I would have suggested Overlord but since we are getting a new one, How about retooling the head as Tarn?
yeah, I know we already had 3 repaints, so what
>>5687257
>Don't you mean Afterburner? Wheelie was never a motorcycle.
Nah, I know what I said. I want a Motorcycle Wheelie. I think the mold would be really good for his boyish robot appearance. A motorcycle I think also suits his personality better.
This dude right here. Just think of the possibilities, guys!
>>5686982
That's actually a really great mold. I didn't think I'd like it at first but it really won me over in both iterations I owned.
>>5687365
>>5687279
I'd like a buzzsaw repaint to go with gdo laserbeak. I've been considering partswapping with skystalker and sunspot to be the colors right.
>>5687365
Funny part is he's a really good mold all around and most of his remolds at least fit who they were molded into.
>>5687393
Yep, I really like Prowl especially. Smokescreen would be better without the lights.
We could get him done as G2 Cyberjet Strafe
Or in GI JOE Conquest X-30 Grey black and yellow (with shark mouth nose art) or Python Conquest Black with maroon grid and yellow.
>>5687570
>Python Conquest Black with maroon grid and yellow.
Stop, I can only get so erect.
>>5687154
>>5687176
>>5687224
There's also a Takara Remold
>>5687243
the biggest problem with that figure is the massive backpack thats just a slab that still forms most of the thing.
>>5691567
Why do people hate backpacks so much? Backpacks be be aesthetically cool looking without doing anything.
this
>>5692027
One of my all time favorites
>>5687214
TakaraTomy has the same belief - they redecoed the Animated Lockdown mold for use in their version of the RID15 line.
>>5687147
personally I treat my ROTF Thrust as a CHUG Flywheels, not only cause the odds of a new figure for him are minimal, but also cause Flywheels is pretty much the only character who matches that shade of purple besides Thrust
also I always picture this mold fighting similarly to the Byarlant Custom; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NkBhgJwFCI
>>5692027
can't think much you could remold him as though
>>5692957
Blow up the mould?
I'd love to see Generation's Orion Pax redone as somethng other than subscription exlclusives... He'd make a great early war Kup.
Generation Sandstorm. I know Springer got like four different(at least slightly) colourations from Takara, but I really liked Sandstorm better overall... seing him in black and white with a Police Lightbar would be great (I mean, even over and above the Chip Chase/Prowl joke potential).
As far as older molds, I would LOVE to see Energon Bulkhead and Landmine reissued in decepticon colours with new heads. They both have great playability, good articulation, and good sound gimmicks that (being contained in external armour pieces) don't harm the core figure.
>>5687393
>no feet
>good mold
baka
>>5687107
...That's still not what he wants
Vehicon's could use some reuse. I want a whole rainbow of them. Some with blasters, others with swords, maybe some retooling on the head but definitely an added waist joint.
I just don't want to pay rape prices for army building.
>>5696647
They need better arms.
>>5696637
There's feet. Its just extreme cankles.
>>5696661
The only problem with their arms is the forearm just being a car door. If it had like, a hinge to fold over, I think that would make a decent forearm.
FE Arcee, a really cool figure that's quite expensive these days.
>>5687049
maybe a titans return galvatron remold?
>>5686982
Crossovers Spider-Man and Venom as non-Marvel characters
>>5699003
I don't believe Hasbro is allowed to use the Crossovers molds for anything else due to contractual reasons(kinda like how that one Swerve mold has never been reused)
>>5698787
No!
What I would really want is a 'Generations' subline focusing on characters who never had their original altmode represented. Like Straxus, Jhiaxus, Alpha Trion.
I love Straxus' altmode because it does not make any concessions.
And Jhiaxus... he never had a proper toy. Not even a third party one.
>>5699060
Time to post some suggestions on these threads until someone picks them up.
>>5698774
>Another army recoloring of Arcees as new chicks.
Pls no
2010 Hubcap. Sweet alt mode, one of the few Bayformers that wouldn't be out of place in other lines, just a solid little toy whose ONLY redeco was cancelled. We need more of this guy.
>>5700808
I never got the appeal of this dude. I had him, messed around with him, but ended up selling him a couple years ago because he just didn't seem that great to me.
>>5687230
they used that gun in Transformers Devastation, its called the Loudspeaker
>>5692957
>>5692962
blackout?
>>5700808
Beat me to it anon, I love both Hubcap's mold and that type of car. It's such a shame that he was never used for anything else, he seems perfect for repaints/remolds.
>>5700808
It's a great little desktoy. Also: pic related.
>>5700808
>>5701134
>>5701188
>>Downshift repaint
NEVER EVER
Generations Warpath.
They don't make them as solid as this anymore. Sad that we're getting such tiny, unhefty and hollow excuses for Transformers these days. This had a lot of exclusive repaints, but this mold deserves to be seen again on store shelves.
>>5701210
I want him to have as G2 Sizzle so badly
>>5696919
Are you ignoring the awful elbows?
>>5687181
Hell, I wanted this in blue as Nightbeat...and then stupid Hasbro went and used the awful Generations Bumblebee mold instead.
>>5701325
>wahh I want more paint and more features plus more articulation and tons of weapons but it better be at an affordable retail price point
Have fun paying 36 dollars for a japanese deluxe.
>>5701325
I believe that, with the right remolding, this figure could easily be made to not be a H-tank, even if with just a couple extra panels that fold away, or partsform off to make a big riot sheild [like the one Badcube's Wardog has, because the idea of that warpath with a fucking riot shield is pure bonerfuel]
>>5696647
I am not someone who army builds much. I just maybe will put together a squad. However at that time I was a Vehicon nut! I would have even bought more if these alt guys were made!
>>5702035
Oh TF Universe, you were so many cool designs and nothing more.
>>5702038
These weren't TF Universe, these were from the Prime game.
>>5701996
>Wanting figures at the same standard we got less than a decade ago since we're paying almost double
>This is a bad thing
Stop justifying corner-cutting.
>>5702078
Nope, plastic cost has increased. Hasbro has certain decisions to make, takara gets away with it because japans market is more collector oriented thus they can justify the spending price.
But go right ahead and build me a mass market toy.
Cohrada. I don't care how or why or how long he's been out of commission, dig him up. He's the only good snakeformer
>>5691983
theres nothing wrong with a good backpack, but when its just a slab in all modes, with no real functionality, it sucks.
>>5704749
Not completely impossible, this mold was thought to be a Japanese import only, but now it's one of the smartest repaint in years.
>>5706989
honestly i want it, but with Generations Waspinator out, its hard to go back to the old mold
>>5701996
>>5702078
>>5702209
this is why I think after the line that's to follow Titans Return, Hasbro should shift the line to be primarily in the Legends/Cyberverse scale as it's pretty much the only way I can see them maintaining the franchise as both affordable and sufficient quality to keep adult collectors interested(20% of the TF market is nothing to sneeze at, so while we aren't the top priority, we're probably still kept in mind when it comes to big decisions)
>>5708599
>Hasbro should shift the line to be primarily in the Legends/Cyberverse scale as it's pretty much the only way I can see them maintaining the franchise as both affordable and sufficient quality to keep adult collectors interested
People were predicting that years back but then for AoE Hasbro dropped those classes in favor for Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader toys for the "older" collectors.
Honestly, I can't really see Cyberverse and Legends being the ones to survive much longer. Scouts themselves pretty much died once they hit the ten dollar mark. Hasbro attempted to get around with with Power Core Combiners, which were Scouts with Mini-Cons for a couple dollars cheaper than Deluxes.
Current Legends started with simple spring-loaded two-packs, then moved onto regular figures with a Micromaster partner,and then they dropped the partner. That's kept the price at $9.99 but they are delectably worth it at as-is.
Legions at $7 most certainly are not.
>>5708604
the thing is Deluxes are getting closer and closer to hitting the 20 dollar mark in the US at all retailers(and not just the crappy ones that barely sell toys in the first place), and once that happens the line is doomed unless it can adapt
>>5686982
Prime Ultra Magnus repainted as Animated Sentinel Prime.
He's got the helmeted head with the chinstrap that Sentinel's got. His shoulders are sort of similar to Sentinel's shovel shoulders and he transforms into a truck.
Other than that, he's pretty much already Sentinel. Maybe a retool on the chest.
