    Default What vehicle has never been a TF that you'd like to see?

    I remember a few years ago driving and seeing an empty logging truck coming the other way. The barbs on its back were pulled up over the top and trailing in an arc down it's back and I though 'By Primus, they need to make a Decepticon out of one of those! It would be wicked!'


    So here's a fun little thread, what vehicle/s have yet to be made into Transformers that you'd like to see and why? I've put a bunch up in a poll but I'm sure people can think of others.

    My suggestions:


    Pimpmobile:
    Jazz's funkier cousin, like catnip to the femmebots

    Limousine: Like 'Stretch' out of the Allspark Almanac II

    Logging Truck: Such as I described earlier

    Airport Ladder Truck: Such as from the Simpsons Halloween TF episode

    Blimp: Such as Scourge from Hearts of Steel

    Submersible: Those little deep-dive buggers marine biologists use

    Golf Kart: Because it would be funny

    Tram/Trolley: Either a modern tram like in Melbourne or an old fashioned Trolley like in Hearts of Steel

    Passenger Bus: Good way to kidnap/rescue multiple humans

    Pogo-Stick: Hey, we had a Mini-Con that turned into a skateboard so why not? And funnier to watch than the golf kart!

    Yacht:
    Could be a rich, fancy friend of Mirage's

    Harvester: Farming machinery by day, Decepticon with multiple spinning blades at night

    Road Surfacer:
    Because they are damned weird looking!

    Oil Tanker Ship: Bigger than Broadside and a way to transport massive amounts of energon

    Other


    So:
    Which do you:

    A: Think would make a great toy?
    B: What purpose would its alt-mode serve and which side?

    Limousine for sure!

    Transformers needs a Tux-analogue something fierce & yes it indeed should be called 'Stretch' if 'Tux' isn't available.

    I'd then like to see this figure get retooled & repainted into a Hearse:

    There was a Delorian - 'Swindler' - a Micromaster from G1. Though it would have been more fun if he had been up to the antics that you describe

    1. BUS


    In 29 years of Transformers we've never ever seen a bus (or trams for that matter). As part of the whole "Robots In Disguise" motif, I'd love to see more really ordinary every-day vehicles that wouldn't draw attention to themselves. We've had lots of military vehicles and exotic sports cars, which are extremely attention-drawing, which brings me to my next point...

    2. ORDINARY CARS (i.e. regular civilian cars that aren't sports or racing cars)

    One of my favourite moments from The Dark Knight Rises:
    Alfred Pennyworth: "Will you be wanting the Batpod, sir?"
    Bruce Wayne: "In the middle of the day, Alfred? Not very subtle."
    Alfred Pennyworth: "The Lamborghini, then. Much more subtle."


    In a way, I actually preferred movie Bumblebee in the beginning of the first movie when he was a beat up 70s Camaro. As sexy as the Concept Camaro upgrade was, it just lacked that robot in disguise element that the 70s Camaro^Monaro had. You don't often see too many new concept cars driving on regular roads, but it's not uncommon to see a Classic 70s or 80s style muscle car.

    Yes, we have had some ordinary cars before -- including: Bumblejumper (Mazda 323), G1 Bumblebee (VW Beetle), Wild Ride/X-Brawn (ML320 SUV), BT Skids/Broadblast (Toyota bB/Rukus), ROTF Skids & Mudflap (ice cream truck), ROTF/DOTM Skids & Mudflap (Chevy Beat hatchback & Chevy Trax mini-SUV respectively). But we have more sports and racing and futuristic/Cybertronian cars than we do have actually ordinary street cars in Transformers. I'd love to see a Toyota Corolla or Mazda 3 (fitting for a Generations Bumblejumper toy) etc.

    3. TAXI
    We've only ever had one - Universe Overcharge - which was nothing more than a repaint of a sub-standard Mini-Con. We need more and better Taxiformers!

    To the FanFic-mobile!

    I'd like to see more vintage cars, concept vehicles and experimental aircraft :-)

    There was also the special convention-released TFPrime two-pack of a pink coloured Acree and Bumblebee as a New York Cab.

    No, neither did I. The only reason I know is about a month ago I got the MM patrol that he is part of and looked up his bio online. 2 different sites had him listed as a DeLorean. Before that I had no clue
