What TF characters have NEVER had a toy in the multiverse you would like to see?

[BigTransformerTrev]

I know there have been a few threads like this before such as 'What 40 new Generations figures would you like to see" (can't remember who started it but good topic!) but decided to make this one a little different.



This is for:
TF characters that have appeared that have never had any toy/counterpart toy in any continuity across the multiverse - ever!


So you can't say 'Animated Mixmaster' because there is a G1 Mixmaster. You can't say WFC Slipstream because there is an (overpriced and relatively unavailable) Timelines Slipstream coming out. You can't say G1 Chromia because there is a ROTF toy.... blah blah and so on - you get the point ;)


So I'd like people to pick 1 to 3 characters that have absolutely no toy in any continuity that you think fully deserve a toy. Also describe whether it would be a totally new mold or a redo/reco of an existing mold. And if they have never had an alt-mode, what it would be. And finally the reason for your choices.


Note: You CAN pick characters that have recieved a toy from a 3rd party developer but not an official one (Such as a Quintesson Judge, Nightbird etc)

Some examples of characters that have never had a figure/counterpart figure:

*G1: Moonracer
*G1: Firestar
*G1: Nancy
*G1: Devcon
*G2: Jhaxius
*ROTF: Alice
*MTMTE: Rung
*MTMTE: Tarn
*Comics: Emirate Xaaron



So for me I would say:

Character: Nancy
Origin: G1 Junkion
Design: Retool of RTS Wreck-Gar
Reason for this character: I've always wanted to have a big gang of Junkions!



Go for ya life :)

[Megatron]

My first choices go to: G1 Nightbird! (I have the third party toys already) and SG Shockwave!! :D

Also going from your list because I don't know what other characters don't have any official toys.. Emirate Xaaron and Jhiaxus. Also do we have a Liege Maximo toy? That would be interesting, too. What about Overlord?

As for what alt modes and molds, whatever would make them look as close to their respective designs as possible, I suppose. Anyway that's my 2c. :p

[Sky Shadow]

My top three most wanted for ages are Star Upper, Alice and Botanica. Fulcrum would be next. Honourable mentions include Rung, Liege Maximo, as well as the Nova, Umeda, Nagoya and Mito Primes.

Jhiaxus has had a toy and Xaaron finally seems to be on his way as Ruination/Impactor, only twenty-seven years after we first met him. Overlord has had two toys and several other pieces of merchandise.

[doublespy]

There is a BM Devcon toy IIRC.


I'd love to see Moonracer and Firestar toys. I have a thing for retro-futuristic cars and fem bots:p

Jizaitoys did a prototype of Moonracer (http://jizaitoys.seesaa.net/article/164299327.html). Since he's collaborating with FPJ now I hope they will do some fem bots like this..

And I have to agree with you on Nancy. The king of Planet Junk has his bikie bang, now all he needs is a queen.

[GoktimusPrime]

Some examples of characters that have never had a figure/counterpart figure:

*G1: Moonracer
*G1: Firestar
Firestar does have a toy, it's called Flareup because Hasbro was unable to secure the trademark to the name "Firestar" (probably because Marvel owns it for their character).

For me...

Character: Xaaron
Origin: G1, former Councillor then leader of the Autobot resistance onf Cybertron
Design: Original mould based on IDW design. :)
Reason for this character: Because it's Emirate freakin' Xaaron! :D They should also create the mould with another head for Traachon, then repaint the toy accordingly. That way fans also get a toy of High Councillor Traachon and Hasbro gets more bang for their buck for the mould. Alt mode should be a tank; the one that Xaaron could never transform into because he was too old! :p
^scratch that, just saw Sky Shadow's post about a Xaaron toy coming later.
New one:
Character: Botanica
Origin: Beast Machines
Design: Original mould
Reason for this character: Yes, it's an incredibly lame concept, but the fact is that she was a pivotal character in the second season of Beast Machines and I want a toy, damnit! :p

Character: Rung
Origin: IDW
Design: Original mould based on IDW design.
Reason for this character: It irks me that this character has had such a pivotal role and yet no toy! Give him a movable eyebrow gimmick.

Character: Tappet
Origin: IDW
Design: Original mould based on IDW design.
Reason for this character: I hate the character, but the idea of a Transformer transforming into Noddy's car is too hilarious to pass up! I also like the idea of Hasbro creating a line of unaligned neutral TFs. Then finally they can have an excuse for not bothering to put any faction logos on a toy!! :rolleyes:

[Gouki]

I was going to cheat and say IDW Metalhawk, until I saw "multiverse".

Hyperdrive (with a possible IDW Sentinel Prime remold), Nova Prime and Jhiaxus are toys I've always wanted. Devcon too, but only if he comes with a Slizardo. Even if it's just a recoloured Kreon or Robot Hero or something lol

[UltraMarginal]

I can't think of anything more than what's already been listed,, though personally I dont' consider a character to have recieved a new toy untill it's specifically their own toy.

I'd like to see quality productions of quintesons and the unproduced variations on sharkticons from the 86 movie. but I think it would be hard for Hasbro/Takara to produce/sell a non-transforming Transformers Toy (quintessons)successfully unless it was done in a similar manner to the beastwars character they did years ago.

for example, the old re-colour of Kup into Orion Pax. that's not an Orion Pax toy, that's kup with a different Jumper. the upcoming Orion Pax toy is the first orion Pax toy in my opinion.

just like the new voyager Springer is the second proper springer toy we've ever had. (in my mind)

re-molds of things like junkions, I can dig, though again the more extensive the re-mold the better.

[Shirokaze]

Would really love to see a Nova Prime figure. After seeing some of the insane fan customs out there, I believe the idea has a lot of potential! :D

[Paul Agnew]

There is a BM Devcon toy IIRC.

There was, but ended up cancelled. Twice.

[GoktimusPrime]

Hyperdrive (with a possible IDW Sentinel Prime remold)
This confused me at first, then I realised you were talking about the unproduced G1 Autobot Turbomaster. ;)


Nova Prime and Jhiaxus are toys I've always wanted.
As Sky Shadow said, a toy of Jhiaxus already exists (even if it's just a repaint of Deluxe BM Jetstorm)

Didn't stop them from producing Alpha Quintesson (as awful as that toy is :p). But they don't necessarily have to be non-transforming, do they? They could make them transform into something, and just design the robot modes to resemble those Quintessons/Sharkticons.

I totally agree with your sentiment - and I personally wish that Generations will give us a proper Jhiaxus toy. ;) But for the purposes of this thread being inclusive of the entire multiverse, Orion Pax, Jhiaxus etc. don't count. :)

[BigTransformerTrev]

Nope, Flareup was Firestar's protege, a new character. That's why in Transformers Legends Firestar is called Firestar (Hasbro got the trademark back) instead of Flareup

Rubbish (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Rubbish)

[Sky Shadow]

There is a BM Devcon toy IIRC.

There was a BotCon mockup, but it was hand-painted so it had a limited release of one (http://www.transformertoys.co.uk/resources/review/universe/devcon/3799).

Villians and fugatives. :rolleyes:

[llamatron]

G1 Hyperdrive
IDW Rung
IDW Tarn

[Sky Shadow]

G1 Hyperdrive

Before someone questions it, Llamatron means this Hyperdrive (http://s90690880.onlinehome.us/jhiaxus/toymerch/hyperdrive.htm) rather than the Micromaster. And it's a good idea.

Alt-mode kinda looks like Thunder Clash. Maybe if the trailer could turn into armor instead of a battle platform? Or both like PM Prime :D

the sharkticons are transformers of a sort, so I'd love transforming toys of them.

the quintessons on the other hand, appear to be organic in a metallic carapace/armour, they aren't transformers as such and a quinteson toy that transformed would essentially be a non-canon toy.

It's like a transformers/marvel or transformers/starwars crossover in my mind they occupy their own universe, anakin isn't a transformer and his representation as a starfighter is just odd, in the context of transformers or star wars.

It's like having a starship enterprise that transformed into a kirk or picard.

a quintesson with excellent paint, sharp mold design and articulated tentacles, and maybe a light tower/stand gimmick would appeal to me a lot more than a quintesson that transformed into a bipedal robot, or a random space cruiser.

Um (http://tfu.info/1986/Decepticon/Gnaw/gnaw.htm)... huh (http://tfu.info/2010/Decepticon/BCSharkticon/sharkticon.htm)? :confused: On the subject of which, Arblus could do with a toy.

apart from the g1 sharcticon, there haven't been any others and there were other "shark" modes represented on screen that I'd like to see toys of, like the third party "allicon" that is being produced.

but my comment was in context with the quintessons, I would love good quality quintesson toys, but I'd prefer if they didn't transform and were well articulated instead.

Gah! <blames.Fridayitis> :p

I wouldn't mind if they could transform. For Hasbro's purposes it would make the toys more appealing to kids (and thus more viable as a product). If they wanted to make them non-transformable, then perhaps just release them as PVC figurines with limited to no poseability. Or maybe as a build figure like Transmutate. Though personally I find them to be absolute craphouse toys -- I'd prefer a proper action figure.

[liegeprime]

Botanica, Nightbird and Devcon. Or have they done Devcon in any Botcon figure?

Ah yeah this is the one:)
This appeared in the Universe comics as well I think?

[Sky Shadow]

Yes he did. :)

[Firestorm]

Character: Botanica
Origin: Beast Machines
Design: New Mould
Reason for this character: She was a major part of the story and cast in the later parts of Beast machines and was the only character in the show not to get a toy (Excluding Diagnostic Drone and megatrons zombie bodies)

Character: Scrounge
Origin: G1 Comics
Design: New Mould
Reason for this character: He has a special arm, there's no other like it :D but seriously he's on my list just because he's probably the most obscure toy-less character I know (my G1 knowledge isn't the greatest)

Character: Star Upper
Origin: Beast Wars Neo
Design: New Mould
Reason for this character: he's one of the few beast era characters not to have a toy and I am a fan of his design

BONUS 2

Character: Tarn
Origin: G1 Comics
Design: New Mould
Reason for this character: from what little I know about the DJD Tarn is the only one with a decent alt mode in terms of toys, plus I love his design and as their leader he'd be the best choice to represent them

Character: Wasp
Origin: Animated
Design: Repaint of Animated Bumblebee with new head
Reason for this character: I love Waspinator and sadly Wasp never got a toy in Animated's run, 1 was planned but it was just a repaint of bumblebee with no new head, it was a decepticon and it was named Fugitive Waspinator I'd rather a proper toy for his "Wasp" Body

[The_Damned]

i would love to see a skyfire as nice as classics and g1 jetfire are i want to see a g1 looking skyfire

[The Scream Man]

Rung is about the only one i can think of.

[Deonasis]

Deathcobra. A DotM Skyhammer repaint will do nicely.

[Jinto]

Ambulon! There'd be something amusing about a figure that can ONLY turn into a disembodied leg. :p

Also a Transmutate that isn't a piecemeal statuette.

[Sinnertwin]

Deathcobra. A DotM Skyhammer repaint will do nicely.

Nice. Ive always liked Deathcobra, shame about that Hellbat incident

[Hursticon]

Wow! - This is everything I'd like to see too, great minds think alike Firestorm! :eek::D
(Along with tonnes of additional Animated characters also ;))

[Jinto]

Character: Tarn
Origin: G1 Comics
Design: New Mould
Reason for this character: from what little I know about the DJD Tarn is the only one with a decent alt mode in terms of toys, plus I love his design and as their leader he'd be the best choice to represent them


Heck yeah!

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Mountain Dewbot would be the favourite, except he's got that Robot Heroes fig...
Besides Star Upper, how about these (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Signal_Lancer) guys (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Pay_phone_refugee)?

OMG how could I forget Signal Lancer! xD yes he needs to be made into a toy

[BigTransformerTrev]

The garbage truck Decepticon from DOTM, definitely deserves a toy :D

[Starscream77]

The garbage truck Decepticon from DOTM, definitely deserves a toy :D

Beat me to that comment, always wanted that one

hehe me too :D

[GoktimusPrime]

Character: Scrounge
Origin: G1
Design: Redeco/retool of FoC Frumble/Rewject - i.e. new head, repainted body
Reason for this character: Disposable but pivotal character in G1. The FoC Disc is ideally suited as Scrounge's wheel mode, and it's about the right size too. Being compatible with FoC Blaster is also deliciously ironic. ;)

[SkyWarp91]

Movieverse Erector.

Oh god my eye's been poked out!

[GoktimusPrime]

Movieverse Erector.
Pretty much already happened with Movieverse Mudflap. :o


Oh god my eye's been poked out!
:confused: Erector never attacks unless provoked... so if he's injured you in any way, you probably deserved it. Although eye gauging isn't his usual M.O.; Erector would be more likely to ensnare and capture you rather than directly assaulting you.

[Megatron]

Movieverse Erector.

haha I see what you did there... :p;)

[SkyWarp91]

haha I see what you did there... :p;)

At least someone got the joke :D

[VGMStudios]

This is not a character but ive noticed that we NEVER had a transforner that was a school bus and for some odd reason ive always wanted one.

[GoktimusPrime]

Yup... I said that in this post (http://otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=192554&postcount=12) on the Which vehicle mode would you like to see most? (http://otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=8863&highlight=mode&page=2) thread. :)
