Here's what I'd do if I were HasTak...Originally Posted by theheretic
1. Give the Phone Booth TF an accessory/weapon that resembles a sonic screwdriver (but don't make it actually resemble any of them). In the tech specs just call it a "sonic tool" or "sonic wand" or something like that.
2. Release variants with different colours and accessories! e.g.
+ Blue phone box, robot mode comes with a bow tie that can clip at the base of the head
+ Red phone box, robot mode comes with a really long scarf that can attach at the shoulders. Scarf has an image of a jelly baby on it.
+ Silver phone box, robot mode comes with a clip on visor with black rims ('clever specs')
+ White phone box, robot mode comes with a sword with a red question mark handle
+ Grey phone box, robot mode comes with a cricket bat that has an image of a celery stalk on it
...etc.
These variants could either be distributed to different countries (so say the blue one w/ the bow tie would be the common version, and others would be shortpacked in different regions), or just shortpacked across different assortments/waves. I'd probably go with the first version to avoid all these variants cross-competing with each other in the same market; so maybe the red one would only be released by Hasbro UK, the silver one by Hasbro HK, the white one by TakaraTOMY, others may become limited exclusives for conventions, clubs etc.
G1 Laserbeak and Buzzsaw's robot modes are meant to be robotic condors (the original Microman toys were called "Micro Cassette Robo Condor," and in Japan G1 Laserbeak was called "Condor"). But we haven't had a realistic looking condor though.A hummingbird would be kewl. I'd use the name Deftwing.
Lio Convoy's Cybertronian form in the IDW comics has alt mode kibble that arguably resembles a Zoidi want to see zoids as transformers :P

What about Leobreaker and Thundertron's beast modes? Do they resemble Zoids?

Be aware that Lio Convoy's Cybertronian mode only existed in the comics. The toy is a realistic looking lion (save the Kimba-esque white colourooo cheers gok you raise valid points i may have to invest in these). The nearest equivalent is probably Universe Leo Prime, though that toy was never released in Australia (it's a redeco of Leobreaker). We got the little Legends class figure though. There's also Robot Masters Lio Convoy which is smaller and cheaper than the original.
Leobreaker is a pretty craptacular toy. The design was greatly compromised for the incredibly underwhelming gimmick or being able to combine with Optimus Prime.I don't have Thundertron, but he doesn't look very promising. Check out the review thread here.
Yes! And he shall be called Nuzzlemus Maximus!
Ok, plants. I LOVE plants. So, here's my list...
Venus flytrap, Dionaea muscipula - self explanatory with an obvious "death-trap" alt mode.
Coconut palm, Cocos nucifera - throws huge "cannonballs" at its enemies...
Prickly pears, Opuntia spp. - you wouldn't want to go anywhere near one of these!
Sundews, Drosera spp. - don't be lured by the deadly charms of these dainty little plant-bots!
Variegated spider plant, Chlorophytum comosum 'Vittatum' - one of my favorites, the unassuming common house plant that spreads by constantly sending out plantlets of itself.
Moreton Bay Fig, Ficus macrophylla - the big daddy of them all, this massive Aussie native strangles and eventually kills its enemies!
And, of course, the great Triffids would make an unbeatable zombie plant army.

Animals:
Real: A burmese cat, could control humans through lovability
Fictional: As unit leaders, The Graboids from the 'Tremors' movies, along with Shrieker drones. Their underlings could be the Assblasters (Tremors fricken ruled! Go Burt Gummer!)
Plants: Was going to say Venus Flytrap but Megs already bagged that one, so I'll say a huge Gum Tree just because I'm a lad from the bush and I love the idea of them coming alive ent-style and stomping the hell out of one of those arsonists!
Non-Vehicle Machine: A toilet. Just because I cant think of a time that humans are more vulnerable and, appropriately, a Decepticon Toilet would scare the s#%t out of me! And man, would that bot have a grudge against humanity after a while!

How about a Mushroom...
Name - Fun-guy
Function - Party-pooper
Bio - Kept in the dark about everything. People just feed him sh-t, which gets him so annoyed that he then goes and spoils anything he can find.
Aww.. why do the Decepticons always get the s*** end of the stick?
lol

And it's arch rival would be a Beast-moded TF who transforms into an African Swallow!
Another cool plantformer would be a durian tree! It could throw its lethal fruit as projectiles; if the fruit itself doesn't kill you, the smell will!
