    I've though of one I really do want: G1 Sentinel Prime. Given the Animated and Movie incarnations of the character, and his importance in the story, I'm baffled that it's still taking them this long. We need the U-Haul Robot!

    I'd like to see it be a hybrid between the original G1 comic Sentinel Prime and the retconned G1 cartoon Sentinel Prime. The character is probably too obscure to warrant having two different toys made, and we never saw G1 comic Sentinel Prime's alt mode anyway. So something in the spirit of Classics Jetfire (Jetfire/Skyfire hybrid) as a fusion between the two different models.

    nice list there Scream Man, just a few comments of my own with that.

    Wheeljack could use some improvements, something like a cross between his Prime and Generations releases would be awesome.

    Perceptor is "ok" as is for me, I just try not to rotate his arms, but there is a trick to getting the backpack to stay there.

    Blurr: If only the original idea for Arcee happened as well (newer design, probably what was seen at the end of Dark Cybertron) as that design was supposed to be pre-tooled for Blurr too.

    Sky Lynx: yes.

    Omega Supreme: would prefer Titan scale, to face off against Devastator.... actually, I wonder if that's why Devs is Titan size....

    Technobots: Look likely based on the silhouette of Takara's defender

    Hardhead: The universe release with the Headrobots kit looks cool, but I wouldn't mind seeing an attempt at retooling Roadster and adding the Headmaster trick.

    Rotorstorm: Yes, would love to see that, in fact the Whirl mould could be re-tweaked to have the legs face the "normal" way, but then the colour wouldn't be all that different, so may be a while before this happens (if it does).

    Pyro - I almost pulled the trigger on the Botcon G2 Redux kit, as the Inferno repaint of Spark/Pyro looks sweet, but looking at the CW Hotspot mould, that just screams Pyro.

    Alpha Trion does need a bigger figure than the Minimus Ambus repaint Takara are doing.

    Nautica needs to happen. As does Riptide.

    Guzzle: I'm kind of OK with the movie-verse commander figure, as it's pulled a few design cues from the LSOTW design, but an updated, short & squat deluxe would be cool. Has to have the cannon riding high.

    Getaway: Movie 2007 Breakaway is this guy, but the mould is showing it's age, could almost use the Gen Night/Bee mould, or even a Streetwise/Dead End repaint...

    Legends class list is pretty much all I need to complete my original S1/2 cast (apart from the combiners) so all my yes there, though I'd kinda prefer Rung to be a bit bigger. I've seen customs of Prime Arcee/Gen. Chromia as Rung which work really well.... Of course he'd have to have an alt-mode more useful than "Ornament"

    I'd also like to see a repaint of maybe CW Ultra Magnus as Roller. If there was a way to retool it so the shoulder pylons weren't so big, it could work.... Or have a 3P make a Roller that fold up into CW OP's trailer, just for S&Gs.

    Takara's what now? Got a link?

    Edit: wait, never mind I get you know. You meant the apparent motorbike in the Defensor pic. I thought there was something else out there, like the promo art with Technobots in it I noticed ages ago.

    My wishlist would have to be the original 13 Primes as well as a nice set of the DJD and Wreckers at the non third party price.

    Yeah Prime with some tweaks could work pretty well. Slightly shorter arms and a different head, but that would involve some remolding.

    Perceptor is "ok" as is for me, I just try not to rotate his arms, but there is a trick to getting the backpack to stay there.
    It just never really screamed 'Perceptor" to me. I feel like he should be a bit slimmer is all.

    Blurr: If only the original idea for Arcee happened as well (newer design, probably what was seen at the end of Dark Cybertron) as that design was supposed to be pre-tooled for Blurr too.
    I didn't know that, that could have been cool.

    Sky Lynx: yes.
    It kinda feels like he could be closer. Appearing in the comics a lot, interesting design, it'll get the G1 fans onboard... i think he's got to be at the top of a list somewhere.

    Omega Supreme: would prefer Titan scale, to face off against Devastator.... actually, I wonder if that's why Devs is Titan size....
    Yeah could be.

    Technobots: Look likely based on the silhouette of Takara's defender
    He's also the last original Autobot combiner left to do.

    Hardhead: The universe release with the Headrobots kit looks cool, but I wouldn't mind seeing an attempt at retooling Roadster and adding the Headmaster trick.
    Yeah its not bad, and there was the Toyworld one that's OK as well, but I'd love to see one with a IDW vibe to it.

    Rotorstorm: Yes, would love to see that, in fact the Whirl mold could be re-tweaked to have the legs face the "normal" way, but then the colour wouldn't be all that different, so may be a while before this happens (if it does).
    Or tweak the RTS Tomahawk vibe.

    Pyro - I almost pulled the trigger on the Botcon G2 Redux kit, as the Inferno repaint of Spark/Pyro looks sweet, but looking at the CW Hotspot mould, that just screams Pyro.
    I dunno if the Hot Spot mold is right, it'd be a flat repaint and the character is a bit to... heroically proportioned for Pyro. Id accept a flat re issue of the Botcon one, that worked pretty well.

    Alpha Trion does need a bigger figure than the Minimus Ambus repaint Takara are doing.
    Yep.

    Nautica needs to happen. As does Riptide.
    Gah, of course it should be Riptide!

    Guzzle: I'm kind of OK with the movie-verse commander figure, as it's pulled a few design cues from the LSOTW design, but an updated, short & squat deluxe would be cool. Has to have the cannon riding high.
    Yeah that one was OK. I agree though, a little chunkier would be neat.

    Getaway: Movie 2007 Breakaway is this guy, but the mould is showing it's age, could almost use the Gen Night/Bee mould, or even a Streetwise/Dead End repaint...
    I'd prefer a new mold they could re-use as maybe a Blurr or even a Cybertron Tracks or Wheeljack. that could be cool.

    Legends class list is pretty much all I need to complete my original S1/2 cast (apart from the combiners) so all my yes there, though I'd kinda prefer Rung to be a bit bigger. I've seen customs of Prime Arcee/Gen. Chromia as Rung which work really well.... Of course he'd have to have an alt-mode more useful than "Ornament"
    I dunno, a deluxe Rung would have to fundamentally different to the character to make him exciting to kids. make him a Legend, he doesnt need to come with a gun, he can still transform into something relatively useless and he doesnt break the bank doing it.

    I'd also like to see a repaint of maybe CW Ultra Magnus as Roller. If there was a way to retool it so the shoulder pylons weren't so big, it could work.... Or have a 3P make a Roller that fold up into CW OP's trailer, just for S&Gs.
    Interesting idea, and i would like to see Roller. i dunno about Magnus as the base, but i haven't got a better suggestion either. Its something to think about
    i do NOT Play with toys...

    But I DO occasionally do scale model assisted simulations in physical fight dynamics.

    It's very much just my opinion, but I'd like to see a retool of DotM Sentinel Prime with a new head (and preferably weapon) for Pyro. With the right paint job it could work quite well IMO.

    It seems this is being discussed everywhere. Seibertron even had it as a news item this morning.

    But my two cents:

    Wave 1:
    Deluxe Blackarachnia
    Deluxe Terrorsaur
    Deluxe Scorponok
    Deluxe Cheetor
    Voyager Megatron
    Voyager Dinobot

    Wave 2:
    Deluxe Tarantulas (Retool of Blackarachnia)
    Deluxe Tigatron (Retool of Cheetor)
    Voyager Grimlock (Repaint of Dinobot)

    Wave 3:
    Deluxe Airazor
    Deluxe Lazorbeak (Repaint of Terrorsaur)
    Deluxe Buzz Saw (Repaint of Waspinator)
    Deluxe Windblade (Repaint of Airazor (Like Hasbro wouldn't do it))
    Voyager Inferno
    Voyager Optimus Primal

    3 waves and Hasbro will never hear a bad word said about them by a Beast Wars fan ever again.

    TRANSFORMERS: DEICIDE -- The Beast Wars 20th Anniversary Comic Book series that could have been...
    TRANSFORMERS: UNITY -- the BotCon 2016 Comic Book that should have been...

    The Tomahawk mould would be sweet for Rotorstorm actuslly, even has the dual missile launchers too.
