Great list!

While I applaud the people who steer clear of 3rd Party, I collect for character and there's just certain characters I wouldn't be able to ignore. Beachcomber? Give me all the Beachcombers (Fun fact, Universe Beachcomber is because of me - Yay).

That said, this Chug thing, I'm totally on board with that. However I need proper re-implementations for me to be happy. TitanMasters don't cut it, nor do lazy recolours like Cindersaur. I'd aaalllmost say that Siege onward lifted the bar for Chug. Meaning I would not be upset if we got redo's for say, Dreadwing/Darkwing... or any of the other Combiners. The only thing that holds me back from that is I can't see a world where we get another crack at say Doublecross or the clones. Prime Wars gave us a lot of deep cuts that we'll likely never see again.

All that said, Man-o-Man, do I want to see the Firecons done right. Finish off the Targetmasters and Powermasters, give us the Triggerbots/cons. Omnibots Please and Venom!! It's not like I'm super greedy, but nice faithful releases of these guys with sexy ankle tilts and I'll be happy. Then we can talk about what to do with the Throttlebots, or Pretenders. Heck, I'm still surprised the Battlechargers didn't get remoulded into Chase, Freeway and Searchlight.
