Gimmicks That You Would Like To See Return.

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.

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.

Throttle-bots, basically deluxe/scout car transformers with pullback motors in them.

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.

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

He's already here - I bought one on Thursday. Check out the sightings threads.

[GoktimusPrime]

There's a thread for discussing what alt modes you'd like to see here Also, I believe that Deepdive has the most realistic looking submarine mode. But I agree that we need more of them. And we absolutely need taxis and buses; that's something that's never been done. Until then we always have Paulbot's Cabcharge.

Ya know there's something that I want back that doesn't need much improvement on - RUB SIGNS. Can I get an a-men?
