I was happy when we got Chromedome in Titans Return. Also bought Maketoys Cupola.

Would love to see an updated G1 Slapdash

I've said this a few times elsewhere, but...ideally almost all of it, sooner or later. I don't mind at all if we get an Optimus, a Megatron, a Starscream, and a Bumblebee etc. in every line or two or three. That's what sells, and as a few others have said, it gives people who missed out on previous versions of a character or want to upgrade options to do so without breaking the bank.

But what I'd like to see also is the repaint/remolds of those big-name character toys being used to fill out some of the later/more obscure characters, as well as characters from later series. New Mirage toy? Cool - let's get an Aquaspeeder/Stormtrooper homage there too. New Trailbreaker mold? Sweet - how about a CHUG Armada Red Alert, or this guy? They don't have to be perfect homages, just a new head/chest/whatever will usually do. Same thing for the alt-mode and size-class/price-point - near enough is good enough.
To be fair, Hasbro/Takara have gotten better at this sort of thing lately. I'd kind of like it extended a little bit more is all, maybe including some of the less Bayverse-y designs in Studio Series etc. as well.

I suppose things can be quite frustrating between camps with the split of new updates and first time updates. Obviously I think a lot of collectors who have been in the game for ages and can afford to do so would prefer a continuous quick stream of those 87-93 obscure characters to just finally get it done. Padding out can also be a reprieve though for people like me, since a lot of close together releases I want mean I’m gonna struggle to get them all! It also caters to those new fans previously mentioned by Tha_Phantom.

It’s definitely not without its problems: it took almost 5 years to get just the 1984 seekers from the original classics mould (blood from a stone), and some figures like Eject from the TR Rewind mould never even got made, which still makes me very angry- the switch to micromaster cassettes makes it pretty much impossible we’ll ever see one, bar something like the Bumblebee movie sneaking in a Frenzy repaint from Rumble.

They seem to be doing a generally better job now, with all the major seekers getting made in the same year or so. We can only hope that better care is given to satisfying all those facets. Some things like the Siege Skywarp disaster still have me wary.

Don't bother. Once a user is on my Ignore list then they are completely ignored by me. I won't read their posts even if quoted by other users (I just keep scrolling without reading the quote box). Just to save you some time. :)

At least with the engine/weapon buddy included.

Heh, there's a difference between Powermasters and Power Masters, although only Powermasters existed in G1 and had engine components (whereas Power Masters are from G2 and had no binary bonded human components). Still, who wouldn't want a CHUG Bullet Bike? :p

I don't have a CHUG Bumblebee, so that would be useful.

Funny when there's too many bumblebees we complain, but when we actually want a new bumblebee they hold out on us haha. I definitely want an Earthrise Bumblebee too. Cliffjumper is great.

Wow, what an asshole. I'm trying to contribute to the list and you just ignore my help.

I for one don't want to see the Cliffjumper mould used for Bumblebee.
