Gimmicks That You Would Like To See Return.

I think they should revisit the double-agent gimmick; like a Classics Punch-Counterpunch and Doubledealer. It's a bit dodgy how with current toy engineering tech our more recent double-agents only feature the ability to change logos. (-_-)

Isn't Animated Shockwave like that?

Isn't Animated Shockwave like that?

Yes, he is, only he's an even better double-agent toy, since he has two distinct vehicle modes, unlike Counter/Punch and Doubledealer.

Pretenders! The Mega & Ultra ones, like Thunderwing where the shell transforms as well ( hopefully more articulated this time) and combines with an articulte innerbot. I dont mind if the innerbot is legends size as well. I was just playing with the Legends G2 megatron (from 25th series) and thought, how a little bit more articulation (an elbow) and an articulated outer shell of a skeletal samurai would make this a perfect Bludgeon. The decepticons have the more interesting Pretender shells as well.

Damnit, I want this toy!! I only just saw Animated Swindle last week... that's how slow distribution is in my neck of the woods. And it was at a stupid inflated price too.

Hopefully I can find Shockwave before the RotF toys come out. (-_-)

Base transformers, combiners with real hands/feet (officially), walking motors.
Parts-formers.
Throttle-bots, basically deluxe/scout car transformers with pullback motors in them.
Guns, not missle launchers, but guns.

And with better engineering than Cyber Slammers and Bumper Battlers. (-_-)

[MV75]

Yea, I'm going for what a throttlebot was, something with the motor that you manually transform. It wouldn't be hard to take a regular deluxe/scout transformer and add the motor to it.

Bumper battlers seem like a crude battlecharger.

I'd like to see the Headmasters come back. Since Nightstick is poseble, it'd be possible to make Headmaster robot modes with articulation, as opposed to being bricks.

Also, water-squirting guns, and guns in general. While I appreciate the use of alternative weaponry, some characters just need guns since they're a signature weapon for them. *coughCheetorcough*

Voyager Animated Prime's water squirts water.

Does anyone know if we're getting the purple redeco here in Oz?

Not a gimmick per se, but I want more unusual vehicle modes - besides Energon Sharkticon we have no submarines, no buses at all, no taxis, no good satellites...

More combiner armor a la G1 Ultra Magnus please @Hasbro, ideally a widely accessible Classics/Universe Ultra Magnus version (with missiles dammit) since I missed out on FansProject's excellent-looking version.

Twins is a nice idea, though I'd rather see insectoid twins than vehicles. Not keen on Ani Safeguard though the vertial combiation does look interesting. Might wait and see how the *spoiler* RotF Retard Twins go.
