    Aside from the fore mentioned Trypticon and Scoponok I would love reissues of the Headmaster and Headmaster Jr's. I have Encore Fort Max and a mint G1 Hosehead/Masterforce Cab but would love to keep building out my Headmaster collection.

    In light of all the recent KOs of the Headmasters , as well as the practically extortionate asking prices for complete originals, I'm whole-heartedly with you here dude (In-lieu of a Trypticon/Scorponok ) as it would be superb if they released the Headmasters & Juniors in 3-packs.

    Well whatever it is they have to continue the encore line... they still haven't redone the Insecticons in encore and that mold is available. I know it's been issued out but I have never even seen some of the ones supposedly sold at TRU. Plus the price was ridiculous. Army building dictates they do heheheh. Im oay with the big bases as well - Scorponok and Trypticon, as well as previously mentioned Blitzwing. BUt a real treat which Im sure would be a must get would be the Dino cassettrons - Jap exclusives - although Im not so sure if the molds on these were preserved at all. Sigh, the KOers were able to make a limited run and sold like hotcakes. Imagine an official one....

    Classics, eHobby, TrU Commemorative Series, TFC, Encore... reissues will always be manufactured in one way or another

    Has anybody bought the Madman Animated DVDs that have the 16:9 ratio?

    Any word on a complete set, or should I just bite the bullet and get the individual season?

    The reason I was thinking UM is that Encore specifically is a Japanese line, which UM hasn't been featured in yet, and with MP UM coming out it'd be Takara-Tomy's last chance to milk it for maximum sales.

    That said, I hope I'm wrong and it's, I dunno, Trypticon or Overlord or something.

    ^This.
    I've been purchasing all of TakaraTOMY's big reissues (including gestalts) even when I already have the original G1 figure, just to show my support (and 'vote with my wallet') to encourage TakTOM to make more.

    ...except for Encore Omega Supreme, I didn't get him... but I did get GADEP (so I do have a version of the Encore Omega Supreme mould). It's a shame that eHobby didn't make more variants of the other big reissues. I would've really loved to see:

    + new characters based on Diaclone-coloured Constructicons
    + Metrotitan
    + Grand Maximus
    + Battle Gaea
    ...I think all of these concepts could work as limited exclusive toys - obviously they'd be too obscure to justify releasing them as regular mass-produced figures.

    Instead they rerelease Devastator with a new head sculpt in a different shade. Nevermind the G2 colours, Diaclone or even RoTF movie colours (think Encore #5)
