For me it's DotM Skyhammer, to this day I am a firm believer that he's the best helicopter transformers figure and design they've ever made for the simple reason that unlike most, he uses every chunk of the vehicle mode in his robot mode without it being unsightly kibble. -The tail of the helicopter mode which usually becomes an ugly backpack is made up of the legs -the rotor which usually is left dangling off the back or arm of the figure or partsforms off to become a weapon is now the chest plate of the robot with the rotor blades wrapping around his upper body to give him a unique silhouette, - since the cockpit cannot be used as a chestplate anymore, they actually made it split in half and become the shoulders. -and the wings, they nicely tuck in onto the back of the figure, you can even leave the missile pods attached so he literally doesn't even have partsform (besides i think those missilepods fill in his back super well) I am so sad that not a lot of people seem to talk about how amazing this figure is, and as far as I know he was the last toy-only voyager class character in the bayverse movies? (Maybe with the exception of AoE Slog and ss thundercracker cos let's be honest, repaints of movie characters don't count.)
Surprising no one, my suggestion is Armada Sideways. I've been waiting for a new one since 2010 when they did the Hotshot redesign. The fact he didn't come out during Titans Return will forever confound and infuriate me.
I think a leader class multipack would be the best way to get him. Two Titan Master figures representing Rook and Crosswise, plus helmets they attach to, giving him his iconic antlers. Throw in a core class non-transforming figure of Mirror to ride the motorcycle mode, and have an Animated Shockwave rotating faction symbol block in the chest to get around the spring-loaded panels issue. Maybe the chest block should have a third blank side for when he's an Agent of Unicron...
Sideways wasn't the only cybertronian not to appear during Titans Return. Quickswitch, Pestilence, Strongarm, Stardrive, Metroplex's brother Metrotitan, and Chela didn't appear during Titans Return. Truthfully, Sideways would have been awesome in Rise of the Beast, and I know it is possible to have a character like him in live action since Cogwell was part of Last Knight!
Some I'd like to see show up again are Cybertron Soundwave, Cybertron Clocker, and RID2015 Bisk. Technically some of them got multiple toys, but only during the same era. There are some characters from Earthspark that I worry might end up this way too. Aftermath, Soundwave and Arcee all look like they missed the window for more than a single toy.
I'd love another go at Bisk, but idk if that follows the theme of TJ's video since he did get a repaint as Thermidor. Twinferno? Only the one use. That said, I loved all of the Megaman-esque Maverick designs for the Decepticons in that show and would gladly pick up more.
I too would love an Oil Slick update along with the following G1 characters: Joyride, Splashdash, the Omnibots, the pretender beast (who strangely feel like a beast wars precursor), and the Throttlebots (at least the remaining 4 to 5 they haven’t touched in a while). Because of the beast wars stuff I feel that the pretender beasts could easily be done, and have retool potential (Chainclaw to Polar Claw and Snarler to Razorbeast). You could even get your Energon Prowl from Splashdash. Anyway I digress.
In the world of Animated, I'd have loved to have Oil Slick be the brother of Lockdown. They both have the lanky features, the spikes design. And Oil Slick looks like he'd be good at taking parts and giving them to Lockdown
Cybertron Scattorshot’s base form. If Age of Primes Solus ends up as his pretool (allowing him to appear in the Walmart Cybertron capsule; just replace Scattorshot’s head and turret with Solus’s head and hammer), I will be so happy.
Because 1) it would make Scattorshot about modern Mini-Bot size (which would be fitting for Cybertron Scout updates nowadays), 2) it would establish a link between Megatronus and Solus by making them both tanks, and 3) the Cybertron Scattorshot design can pass for a femme if you look at the silhouette just right.
@@frenchfriedbagel7035 You're thinking laterally, not vertically. With enough retooling Scattorshot can look like a van if you remove the cannons and curve the front of the vehicle.
Honestly, this list could be 100% made of toy-only characters from Beast Wars, Beast Machines and the early movie era. And hey, never say never, we got a new Thundertron!
14:35 Brimstone feels like it would be a wicked combo model of a Fossilizer and rock Weaponizer . Glowing green radioactive bones held together with scorched rock fragments, would pair well with Toxitron.
I've said it once, twice, thrice and probably more... and I'll say it again: G2 Laser Rods and G1 Omnibots. In spite of them being cars, they have either unique robot modes/transformations or unique vehicle modes or gimmicks. Man, I love those toys and designs...
Hey Tyler, love your vids, but if you ever do a set of videos where you play a game with friends, make it dokapon kingdom, it’s more evil than Mario party. Also if you like dinos, go try fossil fighters champions, don’t play frontiers though
I picked up the Chopsaw repaint of the chopper Brimstone and I love that color scheme being reminiscent of the Junkions. He works as a great addition to the evil Junkions alongside Detritus & Axlegrease
I'mma be over here chanting "Cybertron! Downshift! Cybertron! Downshift!" Honestly, I really wish that modern Transformers would look to classic American cars for inspiration more often. Downshift and his repaint as "movie" Big Daddy ruled. ROTF Hubcap was a solid little guy with a beautiful alt mode. Prime Cliffjumper's 70's pony car look was fire. And holy hell it is criminal that we will probably never get a decent figure of Earthspark Arcee.
3:00 That actually occurred to me the other day, too. We've had quite a few updates of Armada and Cybertron, and even Animated characters, but I can't think of a single Energon one... though I wouldn't be surprised to see the white-and-green redeco of Tidal Wave down the line... 6:25 Way back, I actually toyed with a retool of Cybertron Override as an upgraded version of Wheelie. It never came to fruition, but I feel like there's a lot about the style, and the transformation scheme that really carries over. 7:45 And for redecoes... go with me on this... Transmetal 2 Scourge. 12:45 Definitely with you on this one. Hammerstrike is... weirdly awesome. Or awesomely weird. 15:50 HELL YES. The Wreckage mould is _still_ my favourite Bludgeon. 18:20 I only recently discovered that Brimstone was inspired by Don Figueroa's pre-Beast Wars design for Manterror, only applied to an Earth motorcycle...
So looking at my shelves one I would like to see again is DOTM Icepick! The Human Alliance basic that turned into a snowmobile and had a hockey goalie mask for a head and a goalie shield. Also from RID15 is Stormshot, and from Cybertron is Thunderblast.
Cybertron Downshift is my pick , I absolutely love his classic muscle car alt-mode makes him more distinct from Wheeljack for which head design is homaging.
Energon Landmine would be my addition. I even see ways that the design could use a simplified transformation to go directly from vehicle to brute mode if the budget doesn't allow for the small robot + battle platform.
I'd love basically a new one of all of those, but if anything, I could totally see Wreckage hanging out with the combaticons (probably after Swindle gets kicked out or quits to do his own thing)
What's really annoying is that cyberverse has awesome designs thunderhowl an ancient wolf knight, wildweels a cowboy outlaw and hammer bite being just a cool ass shark . I want good toys of all these guys but we can't have nice things. I'd say hammer bite has a chance with the skybite toy coming out I could see a retool but I doubt it.
Totally agree on Sharkticon and Wreckage, hadn't though about Oil Slick since I couldn't get him (the only one I ever saw on shelves had a visible broken ram horn) but would go for it. My own three picks would be RiD Clampdown, ROTF Breakaway, and Cybertron Crumplezone.
I'd love to see some of the toy-only Movieverse guys getting revisited And with talks of Studio Series branching out to comics, it'd be a perfect opportunity to do those characters Since a handful made appearences in IDW's movie comics
A collector friend of mine and I are lire a broken record when it comes to movie Wreckage. Every time we talk about our wish list for future releases, Studio Series Wreckage comes up 1st spot
I NEED a new HFTD Hubcap, that old school car mode is so fucking sick and Id buy that guy in a HEARTBEAT since he was always a favorite of mine as a kid
Isn't it wierd that across all transformers we have specifically 3.5 transformers that turn into hammerhead sharks, all different Characters and all good guys
Idk why but my mind does go back to loving to have a modern cybertron mudflap alot like hes one of those cybertron designs that sticks to me alot alongside the likes of evac
Some I would love to see are a lot of the filler guys from the movie lines. Terradive, Hailstorm, but definitely Incinerator. A leader with a voyager body thaf has the budget focused on mass and making the rotor gimmick work would be awesome! Especially if they could add some more playablility with those rotors, like making them claws. I think he would pair nicely with Wreckage too, as a perfect Decepticon Destruction Duo!
I think you could probably do another 20 minute video on the RID 2015 Decepticons alone. Some never even got a toy, let alone a one-off. But Filtch might show they're willing to go for those now.
Shoot looking at Energon Prowl again he would have been great as a retool of Siege Mirage if they were to tackle him again. The car design is pretty spot on save for the light bar
there's so many original characters / character designs from the IDW continuity that will probably never get another chance to appear in any media or toy again. like Nautica. we got a toy of Nautica, which is more than characters like Geomotus, Stardrive or Nyx would probably ever get, but it's not a great one. and i would kill for a modern update that, y'know, actually looks like her (cus she's my favourite character in the entire franchise). or Terminator Arcee. what a badass and modern reinterpretation of Arcee's alt mode. or stealth bomber Megatron. just a banger of a design that i don't think i need to elaborate on. aside from IDW transformers, i would like a modern reinterpretation of Reveal the Shield Windcharger. no offence to G1 Windcharger but RTS Windcharger just looks so much more appealing to me. mostly because his torso and head isn't just a huge slab of grey
Technically Prowl did come out again as SWAT Prowl (or as previously stated, Speedtrap in my collection), but he's my favorite Energon design and I would love to see it make a return with or without the combination gimmick. Sharkticon is also one of my favorites and I wouldn't mind see make a return.
The more I think about it, they really should’ve repurposed Wreckage’s design for Megatron. His head look very reminiscent to a g1 megs and the design is just menacing
the fact we got plug in combiners like the energon combiners means any energy combiner not getting a new toy is a shame, they can use the earth spark combine ports for cross play between the two lines
I would champion for an Arcee and an Elita that didn't have the hyper feminine designs, but rather bulky limbs and bodies in general that Earthspark Elita has managed to achieve. For Arcee, the proportions of her Titans Return figure, especially the large Gwenpool-style boots, are so much better than the usual frame they give her. Offroad Bee is another one, as his body silhouette is the most ideal for him. Once again, the feet play a big role in making him feel like the kid type character, to add to being a short design. Don Figueroa's stealth bomber Megatron needs a new toy, and hopefully one that properly acknowledges Don.
We need a Beast Wars to happen.. we need new characters, new storyline, only sort of connected to what came previously. When I say a Beast Wars, I don't mean a remake or new Beast Wars but a Beast Wars type event for Transformers. When it came out, it was new and different. New kinds of toys, new storyline, only a little connected to G1 which we didn't find out till season 3. It was sold and worked with it's initial premise. Yes there were the Truck not Monkey people but over all it did well and is why we still have Transformers today.
Cybertron Scout Hardtop... It was the first Transformer I bought as an adult to start my collection and I got him on clearance at Wal-mart. I swore to honor him, I would buy every Hardtop that ever gets made. Technically he got repainted into Swindle... but besides that.. NOTHING... I was so excited to see he was going to be in Earthspark! NOW WE GET A NEW TOY! Yeah...just an arm...for Mandroid... ARRRGH! Season 2? He has more screentime! ...still nope. All the Earthspark toys have been announced... No Hardtop.
I know he's got bit of a negative legacy on this channel, but I would absolutely love an updated Optimus Minor. Make him a deluxe and use the added size to fix is articulation issues
Honestly, I could see an energon Prowl as a heavy retool of our just sharing engineering with Kingdom Mirage. The slimmed down promo design is really sick compared to the toy.
Hey, Chainclaw was in Power Core Combiners....and was a Minicon....and totally a name dump. My votes go to Energon Sharkticon, with just a hair more articulation and maybe a bit taller...man. Second is CAN WE GET A FRIGGIN NEW BEAST WARS QUICKSTRIKE ALREADY.
I think the worst one is Mutant Soundwave, because the toy was cast in gold plastic and now you can only find them sealed for crazy prices because the plastic expired in the 2010s. Why did they not use the prototype green plastic Any "one hit wonder" Transformer cast in gold plastic is the worst.
I'm actually struggling to figure out how the Wheelie figure has speakers that fold out. I'm assuming there's no part forming so i'm struggling to figure it out
I'm going to cheat a little bit because some of these have gotten modern toys but still only have 1 appearance in animation and barely even show up in the cartoons they're in. G1 The Clones. They BARELY appear in the G1 cartoon and have never been used again. I love the concept of these robots that look the same in robot mode but have entirely different alt modes. Punch/Counterpunch, he's in like one episode and I was completely confused as to if he was an Autobot pretending to be a Decepticon or a Decepticon pretending to be an Autobot. His one limited appearance never elaborated on which side he was really on. Just don't give him DID like they did in the comics because that's a terrible idea. It's an evil alter trope which is not how DID works and is a damaging stereotype. Beast Wars Pretty much all of the Transmetals except for the 3 that were originally designed to have a Diaclone gimmick that got scrapped before release. (Optimal Optimus, Dragon Megatron, and Tigerhawk) They've already proven they can do Transmetals without the chrome so if that's the only thing holding them back from doing them again. Make the rest of them! Beast Machines Tankor has gotten a modern version but where's the rest of the Vehicons? As much as people generally hate Beast Machines I think most people agree that the Vehicons actually had the best designs in that series. Not only the ones from the show but also the toy only Vehicons as well, can we get those designs again? Strika has shown up in other media but it's not really the same and oddly I always thought she was the worst one. Armada Blurr: I love his design in this series, there's a reason I put him in my top list, I want to see this Blurr again and there is a modern mold in Pointblank who could easily be retooled into Armada Blurr. Where's my Blurr Hasbro? Enegon Mirage and Sharkticon. Give me! Cybertron Thunderblast she's a boat and I kind of just like the idea of Elita-One having a Decepticon counterpart. I would like to reimagine her so she's not as obsessed with Megatron. Like I want her to actually have her own identity outside her association with Megatron. Like can we give her the Harley Quinn treatmeant where maybe she starts off in an abusive relationship with Megatron and then ends up in an actual loving relationship with a different character? Or maybe we make it so she just is Elita-One and she changes her name after leaving the Decepticons and joining the Autobots. Justice for Thunderblast who could have been a Harley Quinn type character if she was just written better. Movieverse Sideswipe, one of the few movie redesigns I actually love. I like the look of his vehicle mode so much I bought a model of it that doesn't even transform just so I could have a version that wasn't covered in panel lines. I wouldn't mind a similar design showing up in other media outside the movies. Animated Can I just get that Blitzwing to show up in fiction again? He's inspired other toys and even that went away after a while with more recent Blitzwings only having one face. Also Shockwave. Like I specifically want the spy Shockwave disguised as Longarm. I love this idea so much I customized my Siege Shockwave so the armor parts he comes with turn him into Longarm. RID2015 Fracture is a chopper motorcycle and one of the few Decepticon designs from that series I don't hate. In fact I'm just listing the Decepticons from this series I'd love to see again in other media. Overload, specifically the actor, we rarely get any indication of what the culture on Cybertron is actually like so to learn that one of the Decepticons is a theater geek is actually kind of interesting to me. I want more of this please. Cyberwarp, she had a lot of character development for someone was only introduced in the second to last episode of the series and only appeared in 2 episodes all together but it helps that she's the only member of her combiner team other than Cyclonus to have any speaking lines at all. And they did something interesting with her I've never seen before, what happens when part of a combiner starts to disagree with their team to the point of switching sides? And this could have been better if they had more than 2 episodes to flesh this out more but I loved this character despite the limitations. Cyberverse Thunderhowl, love the design but the character barely does anything in the actual show. Shadowstriker, I still don't think she has any proper toy that actually does her justice. The Legacy version is a weird mix mash of the Botcon version and the Cyberverse version and it ends up not really looking like either of them. I still need a proper figure of this character cause I really like her and I hope she escapes this series and shows up again. Rescue Bots High Tide Heatwave Hot Shot all of the above have aquatic vehicle modes and I just want articulated versions. Quickshadow Salvage Whirl I just love these characters and want articulated figures of them. Whirl would even be really easy to do since Twitch is already so similar in design anyway just repaint/retool her mold.
The Formula 51 race car transformer looks like a toy that can't figure out what it wants to be, and mounting large guns on race cars seems too old school. Perceptor seems cool! Slingshot is boring! I disagree with the insecticon assessment; it is awesome! Sky-Bite toy looks okay in bot-mode, but the vehicle side needs more guns and bombs mounted on it. Wreckage is the perfect example of overusing an IP name. The toy-transformer motorcycles seem boring, and it makes me "scream" for the return of Sideways. Why not talk about newer transformer-toys like Leniad, Shouki the triple changer, Agent Knight, or Pestilence? Lastly, Inferno, like many other toys in this video seems too similar to Gobots.
I would love an updated toy of Oil Slick.
No mention of my boy Thunderhowl? A wolf knight in an amazing color scheme, and nothing done with it!
For me it's DotM Skyhammer, to this day I am a firm believer that he's the best helicopter transformers figure and design they've ever made for the simple reason that unlike most, he uses every chunk of the vehicle mode in his robot mode without it being unsightly kibble.
-The tail of the helicopter mode which usually becomes an ugly backpack is made up of the legs
-the rotor which usually is left dangling off the back or arm of the figure or partsforms off to become a weapon is now the chest plate of the robot with the rotor blades wrapping around his upper body to give him a unique silhouette,
- since the cockpit cannot be used as a chestplate anymore, they actually made it split in half and become the shoulders.
-and the wings, they nicely tuck in onto the back of the figure, you can even leave the missile pods attached so he literally doesn't even have partsform (besides i think those missilepods fill in his back super well)

(Maybe with the exception of AoE Slog and ss thundercracker cos let's be honest, repaints of movie characters don't count.)

Skyhammer is my favorite Bayformer. He is amazing for all of the reasons mentioned above. 👍

Isn't it strange how Sideways and other characters with a "headmaster" theme seem to get smaller attention compared to other Transformers?
@@NiallByrne Armada's Sideways is also a dark mysterious villain, and maybe that is why he hasn't had a modern retool in legacy.
@@seanholmes7482 That's a huge part of his appeal though! That and his 4th-Wall Deadpoolesque antics in the Ask Vector Prime run.
Sideways wasn't the only cybertronian not to appear during Titans Return. Quickswitch, Pestilence, Strongarm, Stardrive, Metroplex's brother Metrotitan, and Chela didn't appear during Titans Return.

Why would Solus turn into a vehicle a where close to an APC?

@@samurexatlas7373 why would Solus be a van?
What no drift? The original IDW drift has never been redone and that toy ruled
A modern Jeelie would be cool
Honestly, this list could be 100% made of toy-only characters from Beast Wars, Beast Machines and the early movie era. And hey, never say never, we got a new Thundertron!
Other examples are basically any of the decepticons from RID 2015.
Steeljaw maybe but the others are dead in the water.
Super easy Animated Megatron.
The dual bladed helicopter was so awesome and they NEVER DID IT AGAIN!
I think Revenge of the fallen movie line had a biplane called Ransack that needs to be redone. I think we need more older vehicles.
Old vehicle would be awesome like the G2 laser rod vehicles
7:46 BotCon did wanted to recolor it into Ransack for the Star Seeker crew.
14:35 Brimstone feels like it would be a wicked combo model of a Fossilizer and rock Weaponizer . Glowing green radioactive bones held together with scorched rock fragments, would pair well with Toxitron.
They'd never do a new oilslick because they're allergic to making differently body typed toys now for some reason
My favorite one time design is armada demolishor.
I don't understand how we never saw it again.
RID15 Twinferno gives big Metroid vibes. Looks like Samus’ ship a bit
Great video, right on point and so many TF’s I’ve never seen. Wheelie is the one I can’t resist out of this. Twinferno, wow!!!
I've said it once, twice, thrice and probably more... and I'll say it again:

I can see the 2007 brimstone as a retool/remodel/repaint of studio series core class mohawk
Loved that bike, was such a cool design
I picked up the Chopsaw repaint of the chopper Brimstone and I love that color scheme being reminiscent of the Junkions. He works as a great addition to the evil Junkions alongside Detritus & Axlegrease

And holy hell it is criminal that we will probably never get a decent figure of Earthspark Arcee.
Energon prowl is my absolute favorite transformer design of all time, i really hope i see him again
Great choices all! My oil slick was always serving as Zartan’s ride.
If you look at the new Knight Rider collab figure, his robot mode instantly reminded me of Overdrive from the Omnibots!
Honestly, a retool of Twinferno could work as a Monster GoBot homage. Not even a specific Monster GoBot, just a nod to that whole aesthetic.

So many Cyberverse characters got only one toy(an usually a hard to find & subpar one) or even none at all. They deserve more figures.
I'd love to see some of the toy-only Movieverse guys getting revisited

Breacher is the Poster Child for this category.
Shoot looking at Energon Prowl again he would have been great as a retool of Siege Mirage if they were to tackle him again. The car design is pretty spot on save for the light bar
I would love to see a new figure of oilslick because his design was always one of the coolest from the animated toy line.
That may be prowl but I see mirage
Yep, he absolutely became my updated Mirage back then...
And he was named Red Alert in Japan.
there's so many original characters / character designs from the IDW continuity that will probably never get another chance to appear in any media or toy again.
like Nautica. we got a toy of Nautica, which is more than characters like Geomotus, Stardrive or Nyx would probably ever get, but it's not a great one. and i would kill for a modern update that, y'know, actually looks like her (cus she's my favourite character in the entire franchise).
or Terminator Arcee. what a badass and modern reinterpretation of Arcee's alt mode.
or stealth bomber Megatron. just a banger of a design that i don't think i need to elaborate on.
aside from IDW transformers, i would like a modern reinterpretation of Reveal the Shield Windcharger. no offence to G1 Windcharger but RTS Windcharger just looks so much more appealing to me. mostly because his torso and head isn't just a huge slab of grey
I'd absolutely would love for Hasbro to embrace the unique design thundercraker had in the first year of studio series.
King Atlas was so cool but i only saw him once at my store and fidnt have the money for him. Hammerbyte, Devcon, Thunderhowl are awesome
Technically Prowl did come out again as SWAT Prowl (or as previously stated, Speedtrap in my collection), but he's my favorite Energon design and I would love to see it make a return with or without the combination gimmick. Sharkticon is also one of my favorites and I wouldn't mind see make a return.
The more I think about it, they really should’ve repurposed Wreckage’s design for Megatron.
His head look very reminiscent to a g1 megs and the design is just menacing
For a very brief time when I was younger he was my fill-in for a G1 Megatron
My pick would be the Heavy Weapon Soldiers in Transformers Devastation
the fact we got plug in combiners like the energon combiners means any energy combiner not getting a new toy is a shame, they can use the earth spark combine ports for cross play between the two lines
The one that sticks out in my mind at the moment is breacher from the rotf toy line
I remember REALLY wanting rid twinferno when he came out
I would argue Energon Prowl's face is similar to his G1 counterpart in that it follows the basic outline of the Autobot Insignia.
I would champion for an Arcee and an Elita that didn't have the hyper feminine designs, but rather bulky limbs and bodies in general that Earthspark Elita has managed to achieve. For Arcee, the proportions of her Titans Return figure, especially the large Gwenpool-style boots, are so much better than the usual frame they give her.
Offroad Bee is another one, as his body silhouette is the most ideal for him. Once again, the feet play a big role in making him feel like the kid type character, to add to being a short design.
Don Figueroa's stealth bomber Megatron needs a new toy, and hopefully one that properly acknowledges Don.
I'm surprised they haven't announced another Armada Sideways.
We need a Beast Wars to happen.. we need new characters, new storyline, only sort of connected to what came previously. When I say a Beast Wars, I don't mean a remake or new Beast Wars but a Beast Wars type event for Transformers. When it came out, it was new and different. New kinds of toys, new storyline, only a little connected to G1 which we didn't find out till season 3. It was sold and worked with it's initial premise. Yes there were the Truck not Monkey people but over all it did well and is why we still have Transformers today.
Cybertron Scout Hardtop... It was the first Transformer I bought as an adult to start my collection and I got him on clearance at Wal-mart. I swore to honor him, I would buy every Hardtop that ever gets made. Technically he got repainted into Swindle... but besides that.. NOTHING... I was so excited to see he was going to be in Earthspark! NOW WE GET A NEW TOY! Yeah...just an arm...for Mandroid... ARRRGH! Season 2? He has more screentime! ...still nope. All the Earthspark toys have been announced... No Hardtop.
I know he's got bit of a negative legacy on this channel, but I would absolutely love an updated Optimus Minor. Make him a deluxe and use the added size to fix is articulation issues
17:03 yeah I would buy the crap out of that
I would really like to see Breakaway, from the PS3 game. Gamer Edition would be well suited to him.
Honestly, I could see an energon Prowl as a heavy retool of our just sharing engineering with Kingdom Mirage. The slimmed down promo design is really sick compared to the toy.
For me its Thrilling 30 Springer
Perfect asthetic for the chatscter, but anymore its almost always gonna be the good but dated G1 cartoon design
Twinferno there always looked like he was a Dinobot
Please talk more about mugenbine I love how it looks
Hey, Chainclaw was in Power Core Combiners....and was a Minicon....and totally a name dump. My votes go to Energon Sharkticon, with just a hair more articulation and maybe a bit taller...man. Second is CAN WE GET A FRIGGIN NEW BEAST WARS QUICKSTRIKE ALREADY.
also a double of years ago I would have said metalhawk (core robot) but we just got that so, I don't know what to say any more
I wanna see more of Wheelie in general.
You're tripping about wheelie. Looks like a creamsicle 😂
If only you could put the wheelie head onto g2 jazz’s body
For me its ejector and the frenzy that was a biplane
I've seen so many Hammerbytes yellow
any skybite toy can become hammerstrike just new shark head. so that's lazy on them
Okay thank you 😊😊
I think the worst one is Mutant Soundwave, because the toy was cast in gold plastic and now you can only find them sealed for crazy prices because the plastic expired in the 2010s. Why did they not use the prototype green plastic
Any "one hit wonder" Transformer cast in gold plastic is the worst.
I custom painted my hammebyte
well how about wingfinger, the fossilizer. i hope they redeco him
I'm actually struggling to figure out how the Wheelie figure has speakers that fold out. I'm assuming there's no part forming so i'm struggling to figure it out
twinferno could have b een th cyber verse double headed dragon, beast wars megatron cyotech, and well any dragon
Isn't Energon Prowl's transformation similar to Armada Swindle?
Interesting.
I'm going to cheat a little bit because some of these have gotten modern toys but still only have 1 appearance in animation and barely even show up in the cartoons they're in.
G1
The Clones. They BARELY appear in the G1 cartoon and have never been used again. I love the concept of these robots that look the same in robot mode but have entirely different alt modes.
Punch/Counterpunch, he's in like one episode and I was completely confused as to if he was an Autobot pretending to be a Decepticon or a Decepticon pretending to be an Autobot. His one limited appearance never elaborated on which side he was really on. Just don't give him DID like they did in the comics because that's a terrible idea. It's an evil alter trope which is not how DID works and is a damaging stereotype.
Beast Wars
Pretty much all of the Transmetals except for the 3 that were originally designed to have a Diaclone gimmick that got scrapped before release. (Optimal Optimus, Dragon Megatron, and Tigerhawk) They've already proven they can do Transmetals without the chrome so if that's the only thing holding them back from doing them again. Make the rest of them!
Beast Machines
Tankor has gotten a modern version but where's the rest of the Vehicons? As much as people generally hate Beast Machines I think most people agree that the Vehicons actually had the best designs in that series. Not only the ones from the show but also the toy only Vehicons as well, can we get those designs again? Strika has shown up in other media but it's not really the same and oddly I always thought she was the worst one.
Armada
Blurr: I love his design in this series, there's a reason I put him in my top list, I want to see this Blurr again and there is a modern mold in Pointblank who could easily be retooled into Armada Blurr. Where's my Blurr Hasbro?
Enegon
Mirage and Sharkticon. Give me!
Cybertron
Thunderblast she's a boat and I kind of just like the idea of Elita-One having a Decepticon counterpart. I would like to reimagine her so she's not as obsessed with Megatron. Like I want her to actually have her own identity outside her association with Megatron. Like can we give her the Harley Quinn treatmeant where maybe she starts off in an abusive relationship with Megatron and then ends up in an actual loving relationship with a different character? Or maybe we make it so she just is Elita-One and she changes her name after leaving the Decepticons and joining the Autobots. Justice for Thunderblast who could have been a Harley Quinn type character if she was just written better.
Movieverse
Sideswipe, one of the few movie redesigns I actually love. I like the look of his vehicle mode so much I bought a model of it that doesn't even transform just so I could have a version that wasn't covered in panel lines. I wouldn't mind a similar design showing up in other media outside the movies.
Animated
Can I just get that Blitzwing to show up in fiction again? He's inspired other toys and even that went away after a while with more recent Blitzwings only having one face.
Also Shockwave. Like I specifically want the spy Shockwave disguised as Longarm. I love this idea so much I customized my Siege Shockwave so the armor parts he comes with turn him into Longarm.
RID2015
Fracture is a chopper motorcycle and one of the few Decepticon designs from that series I don't hate. In fact I'm just listing the Decepticons from this series I'd love to see again in other media.
Overload, specifically the actor, we rarely get any indication of what the culture on Cybertron is actually like so to learn that one of the Decepticons is a theater geek is actually kind of interesting to me. I want more of this please.
Cyberwarp, she had a lot of character development for someone was only introduced in the second to last episode of the series and only appeared in 2 episodes all together but it helps that she's the only member of her combiner team other than Cyclonus to have any speaking lines at all. And they did something interesting with her I've never seen before, what happens when part of a combiner starts to disagree with their team to the point of switching sides? And this could have been better if they had more than 2 episodes to flesh this out more but I loved this character despite the limitations.
Cyberverse
Thunderhowl, love the design but the character barely does anything in the actual show.
Shadowstriker, I still don't think she has any proper toy that actually does her justice. The Legacy version is a weird mix mash of the Botcon version and the Cyberverse version and it ends up not really looking like either of them. I still need a proper figure of this character cause I really like her and I hope she escapes this series and shows up again.
Rescue Bots
High Tide
Heatwave
Hot Shot
all of the above have aquatic vehicle modes and I just want articulated versions.
Quickshadow
Salvage
Whirl
I just love these characters and want articulated figures of them. Whirl would even be really easy to do since Twitch is already so similar in design anyway just repaint/retool her mold.
but, isnt Prowl in 2 colors? blue and black?
Bring back Snow Cat from Energon
Where is sunstorm? He was the popular character and now hasbro doesnt mention his name.
There's been several Sunstorm toys so not one that qualifies for the list.
Cybertron downshift
ANY rid 2015 decepticon. Any of them. Especialy ESPECIALY Sabrehorn. PLEASE HASBR
The Formula 51 race car transformer looks like a toy that can't figure out what it wants to be, and mounting large guns on race cars seems too old school. Perceptor seems cool! Slingshot is boring! I disagree with the insecticon assessment; it is awesome! Sky-Bite toy looks okay in bot-mode, but the vehicle side needs more guns and bombs mounted on it. Wreckage is the perfect example of overusing an IP name. The toy-transformer motorcycles seem boring, and it makes me "scream" for the return of Sideways. Why not talk about newer transformer-toys like Leniad, Shouki the triple changer, Agent Knight, or Pestilence? Lastly, Inferno, like many other toys in this video seems too similar to Gobots.
