List Your Forty Ideal Generations Toys Here.

[Paulbot]

I rattled of list of 40 odd "only G1 classics" Generations a little while ago, but if it's got to include 10 retools/colours, let me ditch a couple and readjust it... while I think of what I'd include if I considered my true "ideal" 40, because a Star Upper would be fantastic.

1. Trailbreaker
2. Hoist (Trailbreaker retool)
3. Skids
4. Crosscut (Skids retool)
5. Brawn
6. Outback (Brawn retool)
7. Gears
8. Swerve (Gears retool)
9. Huffer
10. Pipes (Huffer retool)
11. Cosmos
12. Beachcomber
13. Slag
14. G2 Slag (repaint)
15. Swoop
16. Sludge
17. Snarl
18. G2 Snarl (repaint)
19. Razorclaw
20. Tantrum
21. Divebomb
22. Headstrong
23. Rampage
24. Chromedome
25. Hardhead (IDW style)
26. Hot Rod (IDW's original Earth mode style)
27. Side Burn (Hot Rod retool, FanPub brought him to G1)
28. Nightbeat
29. Siren
30. Minerva (Nightbeat repaint with Siren's head *)
31. Goshooter (Siren repaint with Nightbeat's head * to make the US toys look like their comic book versions)
32. Hosehead
33. Hotspot (Hosehead retool)
34. Apeface
35. Skullcruncher
36. Springer
37. Blitzwing
38. Bombshell
39. Shrapnel
40. Kickback

because a Star Upper would be fantastic.

Maybe we as Australians should start a campaign the way some of the US sites do - just keep suggesting Generations Star Upper in our sigs and message board posts until someone at Hasbro is convinced there's a market for a boxing kangaroo Transformer and acquiesces.

[Bartrim]

Hmmm lets see how I go with this...

1. G1 Huffer
2. G1 Pipes (Huffer retool)
3. G1 Gears
4. G1 Swerve (Gears repaint)
5. Animated Freeway
6. Animated Searchlight (Freeway repaint/retool)
7. Animated Chase (Freeway retool/repaint)
8. Animated Tap Out (Freeway retool/repaint)
9. Animated Bumper (Freeway retool/repaint)
10. Animated Hubcap (Freeway retool/repaint)
11. WFC Zeta Prime
12. G1 Rotorstorm
13. Beast Machines Botanica
14. G1 Springer
15. Animated Spittor
16. Animated Slapper (Spittor repaint would probably have to change the name too)
17. G1 Magnificus (CHUG Perceptor repaint)
18. G1 Longtooth (Done like Bludgeon with the cool pretender shell used as the robot mode)
19. WFC Scattershot
20. DOTM Armoured Roadbuster
21. Animated Hot Shot
22. G2 Jhaxius
23. G1 Splashdown
24. G1 Landmine
25. G1 Cloudburst
26. G1 Groove
27. G1 Streetwise (repaint of Prowl)
28. G1 First Aid
29. G1 Beachcomber
30. Dai Atlas (Would prefer Animated version)
31. Devcon
32. G1 Star Saber
33. G1 Deathsauras
34. Blue Bacchus (because Black Shadow needs his partner and his name sounds so cool)
35. G1 Doubledealer
36. G1 Topspin
37. G1 Twin Twist
38. WFC Ironhide
39. WFC Ratchet (Ironhide repaint)
40. DOTM Brains

I think Hasbro would like this list. All those Animated throttlebot-esque repaints from the Allspark Almaniac would require minimal effort and they could get so many toys out of it

[Sky Shadow]

Fantastically nerdy suggestions there Bartrim - I would be 100% happy if you were the boss at Hasbro.

[i_amtrunks]

4. Scorch
5. Rotorstorm

7. Snare
8. Falcon
9. Skydive
10. Talon
11. Stalker
12. Skyquake
13. WFC Ratchet

38. G1 Emirate Xxaron
39. G1 Nightbeat (IDW styled)
40. G1 Hardhead (IDW Styled)

So hard to narrow it down, and not even 100% happy with my selections. Would never happen either, too many same named characters. Maybe some IDW Wreckers would have been better...

[Verno]

Well, including Ravage, there were 30 different incarnations of characters in Beast Wars, so I've got a spare 10 spots if anyone wants them

[Sky Shadow]

Animated Skybyte

That would be cool.

Your other ten spots are repaints.

The 'Deluxe only' and '10 remolds/repaints of new molds' stipulation really limited my choices, but here goes. Note I'm using Classics as a catch-all term for CHUGURWhateverItIsNow.

1: Animated Red Alert.
2: Animated Cyclonus.
3: Animated Star Saber (Animated Cyclonus remold).
4: Classics Hoist.
5: Classics Trailbreaker (remold of Hoist).
6: RiD Tow-Line (Hoist repaint). What can I say, 'No Parking means No Parking' cracks me up.
7: DotM New Hat Bumblebee (DotM Bumblebee with felt hat). Has to actually come with a Malibu Stacy-esque new hat.
C'mon, it'd be freaking funny.
8: Rainbow PRiDE Knock Out (repaint). I'd buy it.
9-13: FOC Dinobots. Grimlock, Swoop, Triceradon Slag, Snarl, and Sludge. I'd only be after Snarl and Sludge myself, but it's about time the Dinobots got some plastic luvvin' again.
14-18: FOC Technobots - Scattershot, Strafe, Afterburner, Lightspeed, Nosecone, able to combine into Computron. Being Cybertronian vehicles anyway they're perfectly suited for the FOC aesthetic, and an Autobot combiner to match Bruticus would be nice.
19: FOC Terrorsaur (Swoop repaint/remold).
20: Evil Clown RotF Ice-cream Truck Skids and Mudflap repaint/remold. Maybe make them Shattered Glass or something, but with heads like that and an ice-cream truck alt-mode they're just screaming for the evil clown treatment. Lurid G2-esque colour scheme of course - I'm thinking black, purple, and neon green robot mode parts.
21: New-mold Classics Runamuck.
22: New-mold Classics Runabout (Runamuck remold). Sorry, but the Wheeljack/Tracks body just doesn't cut it IMO. I'd rather they were Scout-sized but a smallish Deluxe with lots of C-clip options in alt-mode would still be cool.
23: Classics Rotorstorm (HtfD Tomahawk repaint). Ideally with a Stalker repaint of Cybertron Defence Red Alert released too (not included here because he's not Deluxe class).
24: Mass-release Punch/Counterpunch (Classics Sideswipe/Sunstreaker remold).
25: 2007 Movie Dispensor. You know you want it dammit. Soft-drink can shaped projectile firing weapon please.
26: Classics Dead End. I like Dead End.
27: BW Star Upper. SO WANT THIS!
28: G1/FOC Cerebros. 'Cybertronian Supercomputer' alt-mode. Should be compatible with Fortress Maximus, ideally able to do the head thing too but at least compatible in City/Battle Station mode.
29: G1/FOC Mainframe (Cerebros retool). Should be coloured to match Brave Maximus.
30: G1 Nightbeat. With Headmaster gimmick.
31: G1 Minerva (Nightbeat remold).
32: G1 Broadside. Should be a Voyager like Thunderwing should have been, but will settle for a Deluxe.
33: G1 Flattop (Broadside repaint).
34: Prime Noisemaze. PRiDE Soundwave repaint. At least 2 per case please.
35: Classics Slugfest (FOC Snarl repaint). Since we already have Overkill.
36: FOC Iguanus (FOC Afterburner repaint/possibly slight remold).
37: FOC Skyfall (FOC Starscream repaint).
38: Robot Replicas Kick-Off (Robot Replicas Movie Jazz extensive remold/Classics Jazz remold). Preferably RR remold with a transforming accessory (and the character slogan "Alt-modes are for wimps!"), but I could live with a Classics Jazz repaint/remold.
39: DotM Photocopier/Printer alt-mode Laserbeak. DotM Laserbeak was one of the few bits I enjoyed about DotM, he deserves a halfway-decent alt-mode dammit. And there was that advertisement they did.
40: Animated or WFC Slipstream. Seriously, how long is it gonna take before we get a Slipstream toy?
