Future Figure Fantasies

[Defcon]

Speaking of Arcee, I don't really want the G1 aesthetics, or an earth alt mode. Must be Cybertronian, the WFC cybertron version looks about right. I'd like the character to look like she is wearing armor, without an exaggerated female form.
Deluxe seems fine. For me though it needs to be a package deal, the mold needs to be made into Elita 1, Moon Racer, Chromia, Firestar.

Right now because of the smaller deluxes, it seems the perfect size for characters such as Cosmos and Beachcomber. Id like to see Generations Crankcase, Barricade, Leadfoot.

3rd Party Valkyrie. Whether you admit it or not THAT IS THE MOULD that IS G1 Arcee, which will never see the official release light of day coz the 3rd party beat Hasbro into making one. But since this is a Fantasy wishlist kinda thread ... if Hasbro is to release one - it would basically be the same only tougher plastic I presume.

Not just better plastic, but also better design. Visually I can see that Valkyrie and Delicate Warrior may look like G1 Arcee, but as playable action figures I think they're awful -- just far too flimsy, even if you improve the plastic quality. It's like the original MP Starscream mould, they improved the plastic quality after MP03, but the subsequent versions are still inherently craphouse action figures because of the underlying flaws of the design itself; which is possibly what prompted TakaraTOMY to redesign that mould for the new MP Starscream (and upcoming MP Sunstorm) toys. Also, having such a frail Deluxe toy may also create legal issues in terms of child safety regulations (e.g. choking hazards etc.). MP03, like all Japanese MPs, was marketed at Ages 15+, and Hasbro's MP Starscream had superior more durable plastic.

Animated Arcee is a far more solid action figure with decent play value (my only real gripe is how the spoilers fall off too easily - don't know why they just didn't glue them into place). So I'd love to see a Generations Arcee toy designed with a similar visual aesthetic as say the third party Not-Arcees, but with a similar standard of engineering and playability as Animated Arcee.

OH and also if they can come up with Omega Supreme - just like how he is in the new comics, THAT is awesome... the base mode is freakin cool IMO - a playset for generations toys wohooo!

I need transformers animated omega supreme

Yarp. And Animated Constructicons.

I'd prefer to see some Headmaster get the classics treatment myself, with or without partners, just want the characters.

Fort Max, Scorponok, Snap Dragon, Brainstorm, Fangry, Flamefeather, etc....

Perfect Effects Motorbot is a pretty durable toy, lost of poseability too, but of course she is a departure from the classic G1 Arcee form with her bike mode, still she's Arcee enough for me.

Well they could make most of the parts Die cast for an arcee making it more sturdy, but yeah if ever loose the hi -heels. The 3rd party figure hi heels is just horrible when trying to stand the figure... I keep my not Arcee up with some blu tack heheheh

Id also like to see a proper figure Deluxe TRAILBREAKER and of course a redeco into HOIST. Then we can finally complete the Autobot cars

i new generation traibreaker would be nice

[SuspectimusPrime]

In addition I'd like a Generations Fort Max - that new look design they've got for him in the ongoing comics looks wicked - from what I can work out it loos like he transforms into a battle station platform of sorts or could be a mobile battle tank/station of sorts. It's really interesting they comeup with these new characters who I hope end up with their own official figures ... just like Drift did. Rung looks like a motorbike of some sorts to me - Id like a figure of him too to stand next to my Generations Red Alert figure hehehehe

Generations Fort Max would be so awesome next to Energon Scorpnok As for another Scorponok, I'm not that greedy, I just want a third-party like Headrobots to make a not-Lord Zarak

I just saw this tonight - amazing! http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/radico...-scrapper.html and http://youtu.be/OmTHv1x6VGg

That's one sweet custom.

The reason why Generations G1 style Arcee tops my list is because we've never had a proper G1 Arcee transformable action figure before. Remember when Armada Unicron first came out and everybody got super excited over it (myself included)? I know that as soon as news came out that Unicron had been sighted at David Jones, I raced over to my nearest one after work and grabbed two (one for myself, the other for another OTCAer). And I think Ben Yee described the euphoric feeling of getting this toy best -- it's the toy that we'd been waiting 18 years for!

It's been 26 years since TFTM hit cinemas and we saw Arcee... still no official action figure of her yet. Generations has been giving us several characters which debuted in media which didn't have toys before, like Drift and Straxus (Darkmount). Why not Arcee?
