Future Figure Fantasies

I'd want it more for the sheer bad-assery of going into therapy for being utterly insane...and then making a gun in the psychotherapy shop class.
Which he then proceeds to fire at everything around him.

It's kind of like the way the gun MP Megs came with wasn't that crash-hot design-wise...but it was still the gun he killed Optimus Prime with.

I thought Hot Rod killed Optimus.. lol.
Maybe Toyworld could make one? They made that awesome Hegemon figure.(Megatron) I'd eb happy with a deluxe if they made it to fit with my classicsverse but MP size would be great. Maybe a table as well that he made it on or the "mama"alien figure. I got this idea of a plactic/elastic kinda thing (trying to say strectchy plastic) that can fit tightly around his body like those purple thigns they have. I don't think Galvatron had a targetmaster, so we'll see. Maybe we shoudl start contacting some 3rd party companies to get something going.

I have sent an email (in Japanese)to Japanese 3rd aprty developing company, Toyworld, regarding the idea of a G1 Galvatron in similar proportion to their (not the toy store) Hegemon figure. (megatron)
I am awaiting a reply.

Yeah but I was just saying I hvae contacted them. I will bear that in mind. So moving onto Galvatron, definetely a mini Rodimus like i nightmare planet, and maybe his handmade gun from web world.
we pretty much have it covered.
Love being a dreamer.

Basically just every character from that six part first arc of Ongoing (the arc where everyone spent a lot of time crying about the art).

Especially Rodimus, Ultra Magnus and Blurr.

(I am aware that several of them were based on existing Universe 2.0 toys)

Oh also, EJ Su F-22 Raptor Starscream/assorted other seekers.

I'd be all over an Ongoing Rodimus figure:

I'm not sure whether it's great or annoying that you can see exactly how it would transform.

Great in the sense that it's plausible, annoying in the sense that it hasn't been done!

Definitely annoying that it hasn't been done. You can just tell it would have amazing articulation.

Don't forget that there's a massive difference between making a character transform on paper (or on screen) and making it transform as a toy IRL. I'm not saying that it wouldn't be possible for HasTak to give us a Rodimus toy based on that particular Ongoing G1 model (though I personally never liked Figueroa's Neo-G1/Movie hybrid style) - I'm sure they could... after all, they did give us Drift. But I think one shouldn't expect it to be 100% comic-accurate. It could come close, but it'll never been completely the same. You look at any TF toy that was developed as media characters first (e.g. movieverse, Animated, Prime) -- they'd come close, but they're never exact.

IMO Alternators Rodimus comes fairly close to that Rodimus design. <shrug> I also personally prefer Transformers to be designed as toys first, media characters second. (JMHO)
