Potential Generations Repaints

[Verno]

Something tells me there won't be too much remodelling or resculpting going on. Just straight paint jobs.

we can dream can't we?

The above quote raises a good question though. What with the butt ugly heads and all, do we want them to repaint many ROTF deluxe into G1 characters?

Years ago, I'd agree with this, but after seeing all of these:

Activator Bumblebee and Cliffjumper (head)
Universe Sunstreaker vs. Sideswipe vs. Alert (siren)
Universe Prowl vs. Smokescreen/Bluestreak (siren again)
Universe Ratchet and Ironhide (siren and head)
Alternity Bumblebee & Cliffjumper (head)

I'm not convinced.

Unrelated reminder: Hasbro said... "DELUXE ONLY"

ROTF Brawn to Guzzle, sure he isn't a truck, but Brawn has more than a passing resemblance to Guzzles' appearance in LSotW. And enough guns to do any wrecker proud!

[autobreadticon]

would love a henkei exclusive
Goldbug with new head
cliffjumper and tigatron

hubcap to jolt or electro
Drift into Jazz (i wonder if the front window could be turned upside to make it look different)

i wonder if Henkei G2 Seaspray with blkue chrome would look ^^

also since there are ROTF Breakdown and Dead End i would love scouts of Wildrider and Drag Strip and Deluxe Motormaster

I'm fairly sure that for the same licensing reasons that don't allow FP to use Movie 1 and RotF molds for Botcon exclusives, we won't see any of those molds in Generations.

Anyway, I'd like to see Energon Starscream as Skywarp. I saw a digibash to this effect years and years ago and it was awesome.

It doesn't matter about Licensing to make stunticons. Feel free to correct me, but the only one left is motormaster, all of the others have been redone, either as Takara Excluisives, in ROTF or as an Asian exclusive.

Seeing as how they have no truck molds at deluxe size point they won't do Motormaster. Plus we already have a Black Prime (nemisis) and a Purple (Botcon Shattered Glass) at Voyager, which hasbro aren't doing for generations

*edit*

there's also the fact that Licensing would only effect some of the ROTF toys, The Brakedown mold for example , may not have the same licensing as an on screen character eg wheelie.

I'm fairly sure I had this discussion a year or two ago over at TFW2005 and the conclusion that was reached was that any of the figures from the ROTF and movie 1 lines can't be used, as Paramount has an interest in all of them (Paramount is mentioned on the box of all them, even non movie characters) and thus it becomes to expensive/complicated for FP. Which is a bummer.

This applies even to non on screen characters (I wanted Wreckage as Grimlock or BW Dinobot but it just wasn't going to happen).

One would assume that Hasbro would have similar licensing issues trying to reuse them for different lines - which I think is why they're sort of just going for the morphing of the RotF line into generations, because it gives them more room to manouver as opposed to if it was a distcintly separate line.

Anyway, I'd like to see some new molds based on IDWs TF Ongoing - I'd give an arm and a leg for that new F22 seeker mold and Hot Rod's current format (based on a Pagini Zonda if I'm not mistaken - you can even see how it transforms just looking at the art).

Interesting and funny, it's as if somebody has been spying on this thread and has been shoving it in the suggestion boxes in the development section of Hastak

now ...

Generations Jazz into Ricochet
Generations Ironhide into Skids ( he's been neglected of late hehehehe)
