View Full Version : Next Round of Classics Predictions?

OK, as United, Reveal the Shield and Generations sadly draw to a close, I think we're all pretty grateful that we got some excellent characters and molds delivered, including many fan favorites:

Jazz
Tracks
Wheeljack
Kup
Blurr
Wreck-Gar
Perceptor
Scourge
Blaster (honorable mention reference to Device Label)

When looking back to the poll of this thread (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=3523), we got 5 out of 9 of those this round.

So who do we want for the next round should we be lucky enough to get one? Who do we predict will be in the next round?

What are your predications and/or desires?

Okay he's mine, not necessary in order of preference

Trailbreaker none of that cutter crap :p
Hoist - natural logical recolor
Blitzwing - coz we really, really need, okay I need one hehehe. Im sure a lot of people want one too.
Sunstorm - coz we need more seekers
Tailgate - they still have the mold, its but a recolor - well mebbe they make a new face mold
Skids - heck we need a figure for him to complete the autocars:D
Stepper - logical recolor for an existing mold - milk it as much as possible:p

gamblor916
9th May 2011, 09:22 PM
Skids
Beachcomber - hopefully deluxe size
Outback/Brawn - I'm betting this is almost certain

Stepper is already in the works (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=10738&highlight=stepper)

Well going off the last poll, we may be getting Hoist/Trailbreaker and Skids.

Technically we got 6 if you include Legends Trailbreakercutter :p

But a deluxe version would be great.

I would want Whirl, all the triplechangers (I don't care what people think, I loved Tankor and Astrotrain :p), more Dinobots, some Japanese characters would be nice as well.

I only absolutely desire one - Blitzwing! :(

But I will happily take whatever HasTak give us. :p

What I think? Classics line style only and not including the likely new head dudes on recent instructions..
Blitzwing
Cosmos
Elita-1
Shockwave
Scorponok
Soundwave
Springer
Rhinox



What I want..
Blitzwing, Galvatron, Cosmos, Springer, Ultra Magnus, Shockwave, Soundwave, Dinobots, Metroplex, Omega Supreme, God Ginrai, Overlord.

It gets a bit silly after Dinobots but bring the big guys home Hasbro!

SkyWarp91
9th May 2011, 11:23 PM
Well I heard somewhere that in addition to new molds they were going to revisit characters from 2006 like Skywarp and Ultra Magnus. If that's the case I hope they re-release them AND ironhide and ratchet...

Also a Blitzwing would be awesome!!

Hmm... These are what I would want to see:

-Shockwave (With the movie popularizing him, i really hope Hasbro finally makes this guy)
-Blitzwing (not sure if Hasbro would do it knowing their policy)
-Sunstorm/Skywarp re-release with proper deco following gen TC.
-Trailbreaker (Legends foreshadowing)
-Hoist (remould of Trailbreaker)
-Arcee

Continue Deluxe/Scout sizing minibots
-Brawn
-Beachcomber
-Skids
-Gears
-Huffer
-Powerglide (I can dream)

ARCEE!!

You don't know how sad i was to Learn that the upcoming Arcee was for Transformers Prime and not Generations.

I'd also like a scout class version of Wheelie.

And Blitzwing. And the Insecticons, the rest of the Dinobots (Maybe even a new/better Grimlock?)

And some Japanese Characters like Star Saber and Overlord.

orionpax1
10th May 2011, 10:12 AM
mine would be:

Dinobots (with a better Grimlock)
The Triple changers
Rest of the autobot cars
Some combiners would be nice ( that actually combine)

and yes the cities would be nice, but a pipe dream i think

Lint
10th May 2011, 11:18 AM
We need more classics stunticons. New moulds would be fantastic but I would even settle for repaints of Autobot cars with retooled heads.

LordCyrusOmega
10th May 2011, 11:39 AM
Mine are

More Dinobots esp Swoop
Re-release Sideswipe
A decent Combiner such as Classics version Predaking
More Seekers
Insecticons

I can dream.

Guys, you've put a smile on my otherwise flu/cold ridden face. :D

It would be incredibly awesome if they re-did the entire main casts with the full attention of the Engineers and not the rather lacklustre attempts of Universe 2.0 Cheetor and Dinobot. :o
Whilst I'm loving the obligatory G1 Classicsverse figures, I'd really-really love to see some new Beasts enter the fray, hell, who wouldn't like a modern Beast Wars Ravage that is a fraction of the price of X-9! :eek::cool:

10th May 2011, 12:24 PM
I would like to see some characters from other series, like the Japanese ones.

Beast wars deserves its own classics line.

I hope Has/Tak eventually does a classics BW line-new show character moulds with show accurate detail-forget the universe Cheetor/Dinobot. Those were ok... but the beast mode still was crap.. and imagine what they can do with the current engineering!!!

They need awesome articulated bot modes, and the alt mode is totally covered up with no extra animal bits/kibble. I.e. Henkei Dinobot hands sticking out of his chest...

As for the next classics:

I want to add dinobots to my list (preferably MP style) Anything else just wouldnt do them justice.

I cannot wait for DOTM to be over to see what Hasbro/Takara's plans are...other than TF:Prime I think if they continue in the classics direction....we might get some real gems without a forseeable movie!

I have the henkei set and I love them. But ever since they released Windcharger as a Scout, Warpath as Deluxe... the legends scale is way off when displayed amongst the rest. Not to mention how huge Deluxe Bbee is when he should be of comparable size...

I wouldn't want to prioritize them over new moulds of new characters, but I'd still like Has/Tak to eventually make them. Same with a deluxe sized Powerglide... Warpath spoiled me into wanting these... before him, I was okay with what we had.

Personally, I prefer the Minibots as Legends Class figures with the exceptions of Powerglide and Seaspray which were done well, IMO, but if the trend is to turn to Deluxe Class then I want a Cosmos! :cool:

10th May 2011, 03:20 PM
I think we'll get:

-WFC Optimus repainted white as Ultra Magnus
-WFC Soundwave repainted purple as Shockwave but with a canon and head remould
-Classics Hound repainted as Swindle
-Sunstorm seeker repaint

What I realistically want:

Blitzwing
Springer that isn't a rubbish Cybertron repaint
Stunticons that combine
BEAST WARS!!!!111!!!11!!1

fatbot
10th May 2011, 06:00 PM
I'd love to get the G1 combiner teams. that do combine. Failing that, I'd love to get Bruticus, Defensor, Abominus, et al as Ultra class figures that don't seperate into the individual figures but still transform into something consistent with the original team.

I'd also love for the baseformers to be reimagined.

Failing both of those ideas, how about:

Sixshot
Go-shuta
Minerva
Soundwave
More Dinobots
Twintwist
Topspin
Broadside
Catilla
Longtooth
Octopunch
Gutcruncher
Skyhammer
Grandus
Wideload

Defcon
10th May 2011, 06:25 PM
Defcon's wishlist

cons

Blitzwing
Swindle
Motormaster
Stunticons as deluxes (Breakdown, Wild Rider, Dead End) as Generations, not movie repaints, a new mold would be ideal, that could be retooled for each character.
Sharkticons
New Galvatron as a Voyager and can be retooled into Shockwave
Mixmaster as a voyager and can be retooled into Hook!
Trypticon

Bots

Trailbreaker/Hoist
Cosmos
Springer as a deluxe triple changer
Broadside in Ultra Size triple changer, comes with Legends size Aerialbots.
More Dinobots
New Ultra Magnus
Omega Supreme

Paulbot
11th May 2011, 01:25 AM
Nothing too different or that I've not suggested before:

New (with repaint/mold):
Trailbreaker/Hoist
Autobot Skids/Crosscut
Autobot Gears/Swerve (deluxe or scout sized)
Huffer/Pipes (deluxe or scout sized)
Blitzwing/Overcharge
Runamuck/Runabout
Nightbeat/Autobot Siren (with or without Headmaster gimmick, released in United as Goshuta/Minerva)
Springer/Duststorm [Sandstorm] (both are helicopters/cars afterall)
Arcee/Chromia (car!)

Repaints of existing toys:
Sunstorm
Ricochet (Black Jazz)
Hot Zone [Hot Spot] (Blue Inferno with Grapple's hook remold)
Roadrage (Red Tracks)
Junkion (Brown or Green repaint of Wreck-Gar)
Soundwave (Perceptor repaint with new head)
Tailgate
Frenzy

dirge
11th May 2011, 05:17 PM
What I'd love to see:

Skids
Hoist
Trailbreaker
Blitzwing
The rest of the Dinobots
Individual Stunticons (as new moulds) - since they'd all work as stand alone toys. Okay, sans Drag Strip who has already been done.

optimus1
12th May 2011, 12:03 AM
I think the next ones will be the more likely repaints:

Ricochet - from Jazz recolour and Nightstick
Leozack?? - from Scourge instructions
Scourge/Nemesis Prime - G2 Prime repaint
Junkion - use of E-Hobby head mold, different colours
Cliffjumper - use of Classics B'bee

BUT
I hope these see the light of day:
G2 Grimlock - repaint of Classics Grimlock
G2 Sideswipe - better than the Botcon custom class version
Hooligan

Hopefully a Japanese G1 character gets a chance someday.
I'm hoping for a Star Saber or Victory Leo - unlikely though :rolleyes:

Erm there powerglide on release but squeezed in the movie line, which IMO is generations mold all the way but got swept into that toyline ( much like Bludgeon) due to it being the major thrust of the company.. for now.?

It's one of the few movie figures Im getting which will then be classicverse figure in my book, not DOTM...:p

I will get the DOTM powerglide.. but have you see the review pics? He is smaller than a scout... I will use him as a placeholder.. but if Has/Tak can give us such an awesome detailed fig as warpath. they have to give me powerglide in that form. Especially since powerglide was a more prominent character in the original g1 show.

YESH!! first thing that came into my mind

i reckon they need to create more voyager sized toys, Blitzwing and Roadbuster in Voyager class would be nice

Runamuck repaint into Runabout
Tailgate repaint with new head
Superlink Shockwave reissue

But any TF tribute from Masterforce (best series equal to G1) would be awesome

I hate to be a Debbie Downer but it would probably be best if we do realistic predictions. Hasbro are on the record saying that they will not do the following because they see it as "too hard":

- No combiners with individual transforming parts (robot modes).
- No triple changers (although they have already done Octane and Astrotrain).
- Likely no BW since they apparently peg warmed in Hasbro markets (possibly due to horrible colors for Dinobot and mediocre mold for Cheetor rather than the characters but that's not how they'll see it).
- No figures taller than a Deluxe unless it's a repaint.

30th August 2011, 07:25 PM
I've already posted my predictions (the Battlechargers should be new but I'll take them as exclusives) and while I don't think it's very likely a Laserbeak/Buzzsaw toy/repaint is required to finish of the 84 line (in addition to the couple of Bots still waiting). Put them with a small deluxe like Hound/Ravage, or sell them as Legends, but bring them on.

After watching some G1, I'd love to see

Elita 1 :)

And Why not Sunstorm?. Screw the KO.... I want official merch....

The best thing with doing Dinobots, they can do repaints.. Show Accurate, Toy Accurate, Diaclone, G2. I'm a sucker but I'm stupid enough to buy all the versions.:o

I had a Cindersaur as a kid, so a Grimlock repaint as him would be AWESOME, since he was my "Dinobot/ Grimlock" as a kid. A slight remold to give him a horn and I'd be all over that too. I fail to see how HasTak/Tomy can fail at this... Make product.. Sell Product... Make money...

I swear there was a Titanium prototype for Cosmos... Cast him in plastic and sell him in classics :)

Some Targetmaster love would be great too (not neccessarily with targetmasters, but it'd be great) Slugslinger, Misfire, Triggerhappy, Spinister, Scoop. Again a DOTM Vortex repaint can be used for Spinister so they Can provide us with Vortex, Rotorstorm and Spinister from the 1 mold (Originally Tomahawk) Again, I'm stupid enough to buy all 3 of those unless they looked crap.

In regards to the Dinobots being redone in Classicsverse styling, I would be very much behind that so long as they have a better attempt at Grimlock because that '06 Deluxe figure sucks Beryllium Baloney! :cool:

I had a Cindersaur as a kid, so a Grimlock repaint as him would be AWESOME, since he was my "Dinobot/ Grimlock" as a kid. A slight remold to give him a horn and I'd be all over that too. I fail to see how HasTak/Tomy can fail at this... Make product.. Sell Product... Make money...

Behold the sexayness of Botcon "G2" Cindersaur!

That's not Cindersaur, that's an assault on my retina's. It also looks like a colour in from a 4 year old ;)

This is the "real dea" :)

I'd love a Weirdwolf but again he's been done as a Botcon repaint... Damn you BOTCON!!!! *shakes fist*

I want a Classics Fangry! He should come with a can of oil so that Grimlock can throw it at his head like it happened in Marvel G1 when he wouldn't shutup.

Next round of classics

What I'd like to see

Some more Beast wars characters (Rhinox, Rattrap, Tarantulas)
maybe a beast machines character or 2 (Thrust, Nightscream, Strika)
Arcee
Trailbreaker
Constructicons (with ability to combine)
a few more characters from newer series turned into G1 characters (like what happened to lugnut and lockdown)
More Tripple Changers (Springer, Blitzwing, Sandstorm)
Soundwave
Voyager class Cosmos (to go with Seaspray and Powerglide)
G2 Prime repainted as RiD Scourge

Not a prediction, but what I'd like: Deluxe Brawn (but a small Deluxe, around the size of Classics 'Bee)

Springer. Yeah, there's the comic pack version (Cybertron Hot Shot Def. repaint) or Warbot Defender if you're into that, but a new mold HasTak one would be nice

Blitzwing would be nice

And I saw the Titanium Cosmos prototype mentioned earlier: I'd like to see all those done in Classics 4.0, obviously retooled for plastic instead of metal. I remember Arcee, War Within Bumblebee and Cosmos, offhand?

Another go at Prowl. I'd like to see another go at Ironhide and Ratchet too (although I'm looking forward to the IGear figures too, as THAT'S what I've always dreamt of for the characters. Great Coller likenesses too), because let's face it, Prowl was pretty mediocre and had issues, and Ironhide/Ratchet was very mediocre, and a vehicle mode that looked like a jigsaw. Ironhide/Ratchet had some of the post-movie influence that was quickly abandoned, and it really didn't do any favours for the toy.


Guido's designs for the hybrid F-15/F-22 seekers. Seekers sell, a new mold would be nice as the old one has been milked rather hard (although I'd still like to see it used for new seekers). It's a beautiful design, IMO.

Jackpot

Gears

Some Headmasters, not choosy on who

Beast Wars. ALL Beast Wars.

There was rumours surrounding a Rhinox years ago, when Cheetor and Dinobot came out, I'd like to see them come true.

The (possible) problem with the (possible) BW figures is adaptability of Beast forms. Take a character like Rattrap, I don't know how the figure could be adapted into a newer form that is different and more complex than the original version. I was wondering how Cheetor and Dinobot would come out, how they could be different yet similar to their old moulds, but it worked.

But I'm not a toy designer. I'll leave the magic up to the wizards at Hasbro and Takara to suprise me with wonderful new Beast Wars figures.
