    Actually Rotorstorm would be a Voyager by today's standards.

    Furthermore by this logic...
    * All Autobot Mini Vehicles must be Legends Class (former Scout Class - now most are)
    * All Autobot Cars must be Voyager Class
    * All Decepticon Jets must be Voyager Class
    * Optimus Prime and Megatron must always be Leader Class
    * Soundwave must also always be a Leader Class
    * Cassettes must always be Legends Class (former Scout Class)
    * All Dinobots must be Ultra Class
    etc.

    P.P.S.: Ironworks was initially done as a Micromaster (called Irontread) last year as part of Siege. Earthrise Ironworks is the Micromaster Station that accompanies the Micromaster.

    It's the reason why I've still kept my G1 toys (which is about 93% complete). If I want to play with something that's purely G1 accurate, then that's what my G1 collection is for. But I personally don't look to CHUG to just aesthetically regurgitate G1 back at me. I prefer my CHUGs to have more diversity and even originality in their design. This is why I prefer toys like Classics Mirage and completely skipped Siege Mirage. Similarly I prefer Generations Springer and skipped Siege Springer.

    I'm assuming it's because Omega Supreme is too large according to your "Must proportionately scale with G1" method (in which case Omega Supreme must be a Commander Class figure).

    Air Raid
    Blades
    Streetwise
    Motormaster
    Drag Strip
    Brawl
    Predacons/Predaking (CW scale)
    These have all been CHUGgified. Perhaps not to what you precisely want, but they have been done.
    I'll say it again, but the purpose and intention of this thread is to discuss which toys we want to see become CHUGgified, not necessarily which toys we want to see become re-CHUGgified. I think that we have indulged you on your point for long enough and I would like for this discussion to remain on topic please.

    If they drop the price to 50% of what it is currently, then I can afford them.
    You don't collect most CHUGs (as they don't satisfy your exacting criteria) and you don't collect MP. How are you unable to afford the Seacons with such a limited collecting scope?
    Edit: The Generations Select Seacons don't count under Tilarta's method.

    Minerva is a possibility if they bother to repaint the existing CHUG Nightbeat toys or make a new Nightbeat that could be pre-tooled and/or redecoed as Minerva.

    That's why all the review threads here on OTCA include the size of the toys on the initial post.

    P.S.: I tried to recount my CHUGs using Tilarta's method - i.e. as slavishly G1 accurate as possible. After over an hour I've managed to sift through just my Early G1 (1984-87) characters and I'm too tired to push on any more. But anyway, just by means of comparison...
    My Early G1 CHUG collection according to Tilarta's Method = 21
    My Early G1 CHUG collection according to the UCM = 256
