Not to be confused with the holy grail thread, this thread is meant for characters you wish would go into production as a new mould or repaint.
Try to include relevant pictures to keep the thread interesting.
So without any further adieu, I'll start:
1. War For Cybertron (DS) Rodimus:
Small Voyager or Large Deluxe

2. War For Cybertron Arcee:
Deluxe

We have a few threads like this already, but it's usually fun to do and the wants change with time.
Will do up my latest ones when I have more time.
Generations G1 Arcee
'nuff sed.
My apologies. I had a look through the last 4 or 5 pages and I couldn't find a thread with this premise. All I could find was a thread devoted to listing 40 Generations figures people would like to see.Quote:

Maybe you could provide a picture of the vehicle you'd like to see as her alt mode? The Classics/Generations line has modernised the alt modes of almost every character so far, so Arcee would probably be a modern car as well.Quote:

+1 Instant buy for me if this gets producedQuote:

But since this is a Fantasy wishlist kinda thread ... if Hasbro is to release one - it would basically be the same only tougher plastic I presume.Quote:

I've seen an article and it in a link website hosted by the now extinct Geocities so the site no longer exists, SO when I saw Valkyrie and that other one Delicate warrior (Xena built hehehehe) - sporting everything almost identical in look and transformation from the pics of that raffle figure Arcee I knew they got to whoever won it and reverse engineered the thing. The Garage kit figure had better (waaay more) QC in built and Im guessing it could be like those garage kit Powerglide and Wheelie shown a few years back from one of them Winter toy festival in Japan.
SO for pics to Gok's fantasy figure we can only provide a 3rd party figure ... shame really, oh and these are old stock photos btw :o:)

Alt mode's pretty close to the toons anyhow - just needs better quality materials and built. Coz As you can see in the closeup it definitely looks KO materials and finish QC wise - but hey Hasbro continue to fail us on this so I got this for now.:p

http://tfarchive.com/fandom/kitbashe...i/Botcon_Arcee The story you're referencing is actually a bit different, what happened was an Arcee was made by a fan and won a competition. The fan (Hironori Kobayashi) was then hired by Takara and went on to design most Binaltech and Masterpieces... At some point his Arcee design was ripped off and released by the third party and as you say appears almost identical.
Thanks for clearing that up, I guess the article I read have gotten it mixed up or it could be I got it mixed up since it was a long time ago and I was more interested in the pictures than the article itself heheheh... ah well 4th hand info passed along always end up distorted :D (as like that parlour game - pass the message). Still if Hasbro picked up the design - seeing as they freakin hired the dude who made it in the first place they would've capitalized so much from it. tsktsktsk jst goes to show , you cannot fathom what their way of thinking about the franchise is. :rolleyes::rolleyes:Quote:

But yeah THAT mould is defnitely G1 Arcee... and if they ever make 1 it SHOULD be just like that!
In addition I'd like a Generations Fort Max - that new look design they've got for him in the ongoing comics looks wicked - from what I can work out it loos like he transforms into a battle station platform of sorts or could be a mobile battle tank/station of sorts. It's really interesting they comeup with these new characters who I hope end up with their own official figures ... just like Drift did. Rung looks like a motorbike of some sorts to me - Id like a figure of him too to stand next to my Generations Red Alert figure hehehehe:D
OH and also if they can come up with Omega Supreme - just like how he is in the new comics, THAT is awesome... the base mode is freakin cool IMO - a playset for generations toys wohooo!

If Hasbro releases an Arcee for the Generations line it would probably be the WFC version.Quote:
