They already have, albeit just as a RH.

5FDP: ah I see, I wasn't aware of this, still, I'd like a transforming figure even if it were of Legends or Scout Class.

I'd actually like to see the robotic suit that Spike and Daniel wear in the '86 Movie be made.

I always thought as a kid that the suit was the coolest thing next to actually being a Transformer.

Yeah, Robot Heroes aren't action figures.

Speaking of which, there is a toy of Daniel in exo suit, but it's not an action figure either (and certainly can't transform). The stupid helmet just sits there and is easily lost.

We did have transformable exo suits in G1 though - but those are for Transformers, not for humans.

Impactor could easily be done with a simple retool and repaint of the G2 Hero Megatron mould. Hasbro probably still has the mould considering they used it as recently as RiD for Destructicon Bludgeon. You might even be able to do an Impactor with a straight repaint of that mould. Anyone wanna try a photoshop repaint?

I want action figures for ROTF Alice and Reedman. Nobody likes seeing characters in canon with no toys (hence why this thread exists!). Oh yeah, Animated Omega Supreme, Mixmaster and Scrapper too please. I can live without Animated Dirtboss.

Yeah, I know. I was taking the literal meaning behind Sky Shadow first post

What's one Transformer comic/cartoon/live-action/whatever character who's never been released as a toy (in any series or incarnation) that you'd like to see on shelves?

A Jihaxus toy that actualy looks like Jihaxus would be my vote. Yes I know he technicaly has a toy, but It doesn't look like him. I may as well just call some random TF tank toy Impactor.

Impactor would be my second choice, as long as he came with an alternative zombie Impactor parts or limited ed zombie version.

I'd also like to see Hook, Line and Sinker, a Deathbringer and Leige Maximo, though they would probably end up some sort of action figure rather than a TF.

Heh, I was fiddling with my RiD Jhiaxus this morning and thinking the same thing, and if they did give us a proper Jhiaxus toy, I would probably sell my RiD Jhiaxus, cos the ONLY reason I bought that toy (on top of having both the original Jetstorm mould _and_ RiD Storm Jet repaint) was for the name. That was _it_!

I'd like to see a Boltax toy that transforms into the Underbase. HasTak could then repaint it and repackage it for the movie line and call it the AllSpark (and the robot mode could be Primus! OooOOooOooOoooHHhhh!).

It's so very close, but definitely no cigar.

I tell you what though, that head sculpt appears to be very much retro 70's - 80's Action Figuery , for that fact the figure would fit in with a G1 collection fairly well.

Yeah, Robot Heroes aren't action figures.

Even though it is a tongue in cheek statement, any toy-figure that has articulation to be able to move (have action), would be classed as an action figure. RHs have articulation, albeit minimal, but with most having 3 points of articulation, compare it to some Gen1 toys that only had 1 or 2 - which is considered an 'action figure' then?


Researching the term ended up with the 'unofficial' Wiki definition making more sense than the 'official' Dictionary definition.

The dictionary website (which is about 95% advertising, making it difficult to even see the definition), states -

a toy doll representing a person or fictional character known for heroic or superheroic feats.

Kinda rules out the Wheelie toy from being an action figure, and any other non-hero type character toys...

As such, the Wiki definition is more encompasing of all toys that are deemed action figures, by stating -

An action figure is a posable character figurine, made of plastic or other materials, and often based upon characters from a movie, comic book, video game, or television program.
