Future of Transformers Toys...

[Sharky]

i would actually like to see them redo the headmaster gimmick..

with todays technology they could make them better..

fort max doesnt have to be as large as he was both he and scorponok could be leader sized toys and still be awesome.....

A Generations version of Fort Max would be awesome (considering they couldn't do a reissue). Generations Arcee would have to come first though.

As mentioned above, Transformers Prime toys should be out later this year / early next and we should also see some WFC toys with the second game. I'd bet that there will be a WFC Starscream considering Hasbro stated it was on their 'to do' list.

Sharky has it right, with the usual random repaints/rereleases of select old toys and more classics as filler lines. And lots more Bumblebees.

You know those transition lenses that tint in sunlight? I wonder if one day Transformers toys will use some similar type of plastic to that? Imagine for example if the windows went from opaque to transparent as you turned the robot into car?

And surely Transformers will need to eventually incorporate some sort of electronics beyond light and sound. I read about some toy recently that unlocks an avatar in a computer game. I would see something like that being part of Transformer toys, rather than "big missile firing weapons" which is a very 90s thing.
