Honestly, I 100% agree with you on Wasp. Wasp was my FAVORITE character from Transformers Animated and the fact that he was never revisited was such a damn shame. The fact that it is so easy is what pisses me off even more, they are so allergic to green Bumblebees they will sooner do a goddamn Hubcap or Glyph than they would Wasp.
I remember when it was rumored for a bit that we'd get a subline of WFC repaints styled after Bayverse colors; ie, Earthrise Prime in AOE Optimus's rusty "evasion mode" colors. It hasn't seemed to materialize and now I doubt that it was a real rumor, but I'd still love to see it.
17:05 Wait a minute... we almost have Nova. The Christmas OP mold converts essentially the same! That could be repainted or have some chunks lifted for Nova!
@@Lazrael32 Unless they can retool it further to remove the licensed vehicle. If they can retool a Volkswagen into Cliffjumper, they should be able to do it.
@@twistedgaming9185 that one is actually backwards. They retooled cliffjumper into a volkswagen. I'm willing to bet it is easier that way. Their license may not allow a retool. Which would explain why we got a generic optimus instead of the g2 version people expected. But maybe not.
Well, you got your mainline Nova Prime and (I think Amazon exclusive) Senator Ratbat, and with TFA Bee coming out in the 2024 line Wasp is a likely repaint there.
You know what, they barely reused a lot of the Kingdom beast molds. It's criminal that we didn't get a Packrat out of the Rattrap. While they're at it, they might as well give us his old Botcon pack-in buddy, Fractyl.
We were supposed to get a packrat and fractyl in pulse. but they seem to have majorly hit the breaks on their select releases. I don't think the extremely lazy recolors have sold as well lately. but i am pretty sure they are missing out on some good money on those two! that or they are saving them for an exclusive line. (i know a couple of selects rumored figures have been coming out it these store exclusives lately)
I'm surprised we're 2-for-2 on modern Laser Prime molds and they still haven't repainted them in the movie deco. Also wild how we still haven't gotten a Slipstream from a seeker mold
A Marvel comics line of figures, repaints and new figures would be so cool. Imagine Spanner as a figure (somehow). Scrounge and other more obscure characters would be awesome. Some of the characters in the Origins line, like Optimus as an Artillery cannon like in the comic. Please do a Marvel line Hasbro.
You had a rocky start with this video for me, leading with comics that like 80% or better of the fandom has never actually read and therefore probably wouldn't recognize, as well as some other random obscure colors that just wouldn't do much like those Megatrons, BUT then you brought up Predacon Rhinox and despite me not being huge on Beast Wars even I can't deny that that one is such a missed opportunity that surprisingly has never been done (Given your history with Cybertron Backstop, hearing you compliment a purple rhino threw me off a little) HOWEVER, the one I think you absolutely NAILED is Wasp! Aside from the fact that Wasp is such a critical plot-relevant character in Animated both on his own and as part of Bumblebee's character development, he's a really cool concept all his own. What's crazy about it is that now that Bumblebee has just kind of become like...THE mascot character of the franchise by this point, the fact that they have the opportunity to have a "evil version of Bumblebee" to mirror the likes of Nemesis Prime or Scourge, and they've NEVER taken it??? I understand that Wasp was kind of a one-off character who was only seen in Animated, but so were Lockdown and Lugnut, and look at how they ended up, With Lockdown being a major character in one of the live-action films and Lugnut being such a fan-favorite between his outrageously expensive aftermarket Reveal the Shield toy as well as Clobber's existance...Wasp being as simple as a repaint of one of the most iconic characters in the franchise LOADED with potential, this is probably the best entry on the list by far.
One question for TJ. When do you get time to sleep or do anything other than work or make and edit your show? It's amazing how much you do for us. Great stuff.
I don't see Hasbro ever doing a series of Nelson Yamtov color-error Transformers repaints but that definitely seems like something Super7 would jump on in an instant.
Hasbro did 2 of the ehobby gobots already, where's Treds? We have the kingdom warpath right There?! Speaking of kingdom, where are the Terrorsaur repaints? We got a toy deco Terrorsaur, but no Lazorbeak, Hydra, Strafe, or Fractyl? And speaking of Fractyl, where's the Packrat repaint of core rattrap? We got Botcon Sandstorm from Scorponok, but no Doublepunch? We have an Optimus Primal and Lioconvoy where's the Burning/Flash 2 pack?
Yeah, I would really like to see Soundwave (marvel), Skid-z and Wheeljack (armada) on the shelves :) Also I would add some realistic decos for characters like Astrotrain, Warpath, Blitzwing and those, it would really stand up the *Robots In Disguise* thing
@@tfuniverse1651 boy i hope that is their subline. it'll be an easy skip for me. I know why some people like it but i always hated the crappy marvel colors.
There’s Treds, the Go-Bots character sharing Warpath’s mold, who is a green tank. We have Overcharge for Blitzwing, though I’m confused as to why a beige deserty tank isn’t realistic enough for you. Galaxy Shuttle is our “realistic Astrotrain”, though the G1 toy has been done up in straight black and white before Personally I’m ok with transformers being silly and don’t care much for being overly adherent to tie robots in disguise tagline, especially since “more than meets the eye” has overtaken it as the main franchise tagline.
My question is, where is packrat? It would be so easy for them to do a blue repaint of rattrap. The only other use that mold got was for the Netflix, which was slightly different.
Amazing how many characters that were just background extras for a few seconds in one episode almost 40 years ago they've actually given names and turned it into figures.I mean as far as I can remember the green blue and yellow seekers were only on screen for like 2 seconds in the 1st episode of the 3 part 1984 pilot.
Considering the Classics Seeker mold got every repaint under the sun, I'm SHOCKED they haven't been churning out that Earthrise mold. Where's Sunstorm? Slipstream? Ghost Starscream? Action Masters? Do what they did the Ramjet (twice) and revive a cancelled G2 color scheme that was all black Heck, just color it as generic seekers and I'll cave in!
I think the trick with comic colors (in general, not just with Transformers) is telling the difference between an actual alternative color palette and a trick of the coloring/printing process. Like that Galvatron. To me, that reads as a shiny gray metal reflecting ambient blue light. I remember thinking that Machine Wars Soundwave could work if they made a new Cybertron Defense Red Alert. While we're at it, we could also get a new Stalker to go with Skyquake. But using Doubledealer to integrate the cassette gimmick would be awesome! One easy idea I have in mind is Galaxy Convoy into Nemesis Prime colors, because that is the only Optimus Prime design that I'm aware of to never get that repaint. Aside from that, some G1 repaints of the Studio Series 07 Autobots would be really cool to see. Especially that Jazz with the racing livery.
Yeah. The original design for spiderman was red and black. but they used a lot of blue to highlight it and most people thought it was supposed to be red and blue. so eventually it was.
Any SS Bumblebee as Cliffjumper. Simply put "This is Cliffjumper from an alternate universe where he escaped from Shatter and Dropkick and made it to Earth" in his bio on the back of the box and there ya go!
I'm surprised Starscream, at least to not my knowledge, got an Underbase/Cosmically Powered Starscream (no the Golden Lagoon repaint of CW Screamer doesn't count).
Of all the Starscream variatons, early Marvel Starscream is one I'd be interested in. Of course, when ER Screamer came out, David Willis turned one into a custom with those colors, but even 3P companies haven't done that color variation. Though, yes, I would definitely want a Marvel US "steel blue" Galvatron. It's just so striking.
Sunstorm. We haven’t had a proper Sunstorm repaint in a long time. The last time we even got one in retail that I can remember was the Target exclusive for TF Animated.
Two of my most requested repaints made it into the video, that being Predacon Rhinox and Trigger Blackarachnia. However there are a few other Beast Era repaints that are really obvious that DON'T exist. Granted a couple of these would require some minor retooling as well but they are doable. Beast Wars Quickstrike. Specifically I'm talking about the version of Quickstrike from the episode where he was remote piloting Optimal Optimus. The Power of the Primes mold would be fairly easy to turn into Quickstrike because of the way that toy works it was already designed with a gap in the robot mode right in the same place where Quickstrike was piloting from in the show. This would technically be a brand new figure cause what you do is you reuse the Optimal Optimus body but not the smaller Optimus Primal figure, that part you replace with a new Quickstrike toy specifically designed to fit into that body where Optimus Primal was suppose to go. The body you would just need to repaint in gunmetal grey and you have Quickstrike's remote exsosuit from the show. Optimal Megatron. Again this is another reuse of Optimal Optimus that should be obvious but they've never done. And the Titanium version of the figure was already designed without a Beast Mode which makes that toy a terrible Optimus but a great Megatron. They just released it with the wrong face. I will also point out that Tarantulus appeared in the comics using the same Ransack mold that Rattrap had been repainted from but that Tarantulus toy doesn't exist. Scorponok has TWO pre-BW appearances, one of them really didn't look like anything... I think it was suppose to be Energon Scorponok but it would take a LOT of retooling to make that mold look like BW Scorponok cause it looks like they only used the tail and arms, everything else would be an entirely new mold. The other was based on Cybertron Shortround that would really only need a new head. We also never really got a Terrorsaur... I mean we did eventually get one that KIND of looks like his original depiction unlike the other two but they weren't using Cybertron molds anymore by the time any of these figures came out so they don't really fit in with the rest of the Pre-BW figures. Another super obvious one that exists in fiction is Botanica. Not her original BM design but the one from the comics that was based on Prime Beast Hunters Soundwave. Obviously that mold exists since they intentionally used it in the comics around the same time that Soundwave was available in stores and I think that designs works really well as Botanica but the actual physical toy was never actually produced as that character. It sucks that even when she's based on an already existing mold she still can't get a toy. Outside of Beast Era stuff for a minute... there is also a version of the Fallen who was based on Fall of Cybertron Bruticus.... they gave those figures a repaint into the Wreckers that have never appeared in fiction looking like that but never thought to make the Fallen out of those molds? I think the robot head was even more closely resembling the Ruination version rather than Bruticus but I love the Fallen's design in the comics and that version of the Fallen is one of the few redesigns that actually remembers he's suppose to be a living furnace. If they released those molds in the Fallen's colors, maybe threw in some flame FX to complete the look, I would buy those molds AGAIN... for the 3rd time... cause I already have the Combaticons and the Wreckers, but give me that Fallen damn it! There is also a couple Omega Supreme repaints I'm surprised they never did... Specifically the Titans Return Sentinel Prime/Astrotrain mold, the "Train" mode on that figure is very similar to the "train" mode that Energon Omega Supreme had. The space ship mode is also very similar to Animated Omega Supreme. So it felt like there were two different Omega Supremes being homaged in that one figure, why the heck was that mold never repainted into that character? The recent Ark figure is also a pretty obvious choice to use as Animated Omega Supreme. That could still be a titan class figure they might produce as a new mold and make accurate to Animated later on but if they wanted to go with a more G1 style design like they did with Animated Prowl in Legacy I could see them just retooling the Ark into Animated Omega Supreme. Another recent super obvious repaint... if they repaint Earthspark Twitch as Rescue Bots Whirl I will buy that figure... I technically already have two of that mold because the first Twitch I picked up had defective misshaped parts that prevent her from actually transforming into her vehicle mode. The second one I got for free after E-Mailing customer service at Hasbro and works perfectly. Maybe I'll try modifying the defective copy into Rescue Bots Whirl. I mean that figure already came broken, I can't make it worse.
After the recent Evan interview when we find out, it was gonna be soundwave or emirate Xaron, I’m kind of glad Soundwave hasn’t come yet just because he’s an easy layup for later.
I need more Diaclones... red Mirage, yellow Trailbreaker, blue Hoist, Loudpedal, Reboost, the other red Skids, Twintwist, and the Insecticons. The animation repaint of Rhinox is coming. He's packed with Scorponok.
16:50 Two versions they could do would be: 1. Redeco/head swap Legacy: Orion Pax into Nova Major. 2. Follow Maketoys route and redeco/retool Laser Optimus Prime.
Yes! Thank you! I'm still surprised that they haven't done this with the Siege figure. We already have SG Starscream. So, why not give Thundercracker a go too?
10:42 I really like the Kingdom One. So much so I even sold my Thrilling 30 figure. Though now I regret it. How awesome would customizing that into Predacon Rhinox be? What baffles me the most, as a person, is how I never once thought of repaints for either toy. Good vid!
They could do a recolour of the MP Soundwave (the swappable faces would seem more realistic on an MP) and I think people would certainly buy it (I can think of at least one)
I feel like one repaint that would be sick is a hell would be repainting the Constructicons as Autobots based off the vehicles they takes. Scrapper as Cybertron Landmine Mixmaster as G1 Quick Mix Long Haul as Throttlebot Wideload Hook as G1 Grapple Scavenger as RID2001 Grimlock but would be called Hurricrane because why not Bonecrusher as Armada Scavenger (but I would call him Musor which would be from his Russian name of Musorshchik)
I would agree but I think both of those characters started out as fan created. There might be some licensing concerns with those characters. I could be wrong though.
I haven't bought a figure in over a decade but if they finally released a Sideswipe figure repainted as Armada Wheeljack I would snatch that up no question, Armada was my introduction to the franchise and Wheeljack was my favorite character from that show so it's a no brainer for me.
I'd probably say a Diaclone Battle Convoy/G1 Toy Prime could be a very interesting retool/repaint of the Earthrise Prime (or Siege if they could somehow retool it into an Earth mode first for SS86 or something). Especially with a replication of that original head and the stickers with it.
IDW and Netflix used the Siege Seeker mold as the basis for the character models of 7 Seekers and I wish we got them repainted from the Siege mold: Dirge Thrust Ramjet Hooligan Spacecase Wingstun Nacelle Add Sandstorm, Blackout, G2 Ramjet, Sunstorm and Cloudcover to the list too. Not all of us like the Earthrise mold. Actually the Siege Seekers have mostly gotten disappointing colour schemes: Starscream seemed faded particularly with the battle damage muck. The Rainmakers were based on a crudely animated cartoon. Acid Storm already had two nice colour schemes to choose from thanks to Classics and Masterpiece. Hotlink was like a burnt KO Skywarp. Who asked for the damn Sparkless zombie when there are plenty named Seekers needing figures? I think most of us would like Siege Skywarp reissued at retail and we dont need the Battlemasters hiking up the prices. Some non Seeker repaints: Backstreet from Tracks ROTF Oilpan from Legacy Breakdown. Ruckus from CW Offroad at retail. G2 Motormouth from CW Ironhide. Selects Runabout reissued at retail. Carnivac from Titans Return Weirdwolf. Stepper from SS86 Jazz. Ferak from Kingdom Cyclonus. Gutcruncher from Kingdom Warpath. Botcon Scorch from Hound. Botcon Rapido from Siege Barricade. The cancelled Actionmaster Botcon set at retail: Skyfall from TR Highbrow Sprocket from TR Triggerhappy
Armada Overload for me. He never got a proper Ultra Magnus repaint despite being named Ultra Magnus in JP. The closest that they came to it was the Magazine prize-exclusive. I mean, Universe was just around the corner too. Easy way to retool them was to basically just say it was RiD2001 Optimus and Magnus before they hit Earth (which could explain the combination)
I've also done a Vlog about this topic on my channel. My video was a Top 10 of Unused Repaint Potential, which included G1 Stalker from the Cybertron Defense Red Alert mold among others.
Novus nova should be the holiday prime mold, the legs being the truck bits make the most sense to me and make me the trailer can turn into a crappy jet pack
Honestly the repaint I want to see most is Armada Red Alert from JP-93 from the Jurassic Park 2 pack. It's just begging to be made. But I fear they'll use Crankcase so they can do both the Armada and Cybertron Red Alerts at the same time. A lot of these are exactly how I feel about Botcon's later years. The repaints just got so random and out of alignment, and yet there were still so many missed opportunities and poor choices (like who was seriously asking for a DOTM Megatron made from Prime Breakdown when we could have gotten Flywheels from the Blitzwing that was out at the time to compliment Battletrap?). Hasbro also seems to be skipping out on the great repaints a lot of times too. I'm all for the "Power Corrupts" two pack, that's freaking brilliant. Another one they could do it "Energon Surge" and have Terrorsaur with a red Energon surge effect and a maximal like Cheetor with a blue version of that. The Kingdom Rhinox IS getting a repaint, but only in Takara's lines. They really have a missed opportunity with the Bumblebee and Cliffjumper molds out rn. Wasp, Glyph, Tap-Out, Searchlight, etc. If you're going to use that mold as often as you are, go nuts with the repaints so we can at least get more characters. Armada Wheeljack better happen, I actually did a Digibash of that on TFW2005 along with Energon Arcee from Prime Arcee and Cannonball from Legacy Crankcase, and they all work pretty well. Nova Prime needs a figure, big time. And the TFCC one isn't even THE Nova Prime, but reformatted SG Optimus Prime. Nova Prime is in desperate need of a figure.
It should be obvious, put the triangle at the top of the tower. Instead of the full hourglass, cut it in half, make it bigger and add the details into it.
You already mentioned the bot I've been asking for awhile Armada Wheeljack from Siege/Earthrise Sideswipe. But here's one "major" character that is an easy repaint yet, Hasbro hasn't done him yet. SunStorm. Seriously why hasn't SunStorm got a new toy from the Earthrise mould!? Just paint that mould in his colours, give him a megaton of fire effects and call it a day.
The fact we STILL don’t have an armada wheeljack out of the siege or kingdom sideswipe mold astounds me. It’s one of the easiest repaints they can do and they have clear evidence of demand for more Armada toys.
I know the Cliffjumper mold has been used a lot, but it would make a great starting point for doing the Throttlebots. Freeway and chase would really only need new heads. Searchlight would mostly need a retool on the feet. Rollbar could me retooled from Brawn. I don't have an immediate suggestion for Wideload. But we already have Goldbug.
I'd love to see SS86 Jazz redone into Ricochet/Stepper. We already have Artfire, and they have no shortage on Tartgetmaster molds to include with him. Another very obvious one is Nemesis Prime using the Earthrise mold. I know we got two versions with the Siege version, but I'd love to see an Earth mode variant. They could throw in the Volvo/Christmas Prime head to spice it up, too. An Earthmode Soundblaster in Headmaster animation colors would be sick too, the purple chest would look so good and it could be how an ER Buzzsaw could finally be released.
It could boil down to the fact that they just couldn't fit Buzzsaw into the Siege or Earthrise release timeline or he was considered and never made the cut like Kingdom Gears or Polarclaw.
@Nagare Ryouma They could have included him in Selects over the Ratbat repaint or pack him with a show character from S2 to give people reasons to get them if they aren't selling him with an ER Soundblaster.
Technically Armada Wheeljack is more based on Red Alert than Sideswipe. Same G1 toy design, I know, but the Sunbow model for Red Alert was more slavishly toy accurate than Sideswipe was.
One color scheme I’m surprise has never been used. Even in Japan is Megatron in that translucent purple as he’s been transformed into Galvatron I know that color scheme is used on the Galvatron toy. But that color scheme would feel like an obvious way to use the original G1 toy well getting going around toy law I mean we know to Cara has the technology to use the G1 molds translucent plastic. They’ve done if you ghost starscream toys, so put him with a G1 gray, Optimus prime can you have an a perfect homage to the movie for the last time we see these two characters in hindsight, it seems obvious
Just wanted to say as a big fan of the g1 Marvel comics (I spent 2021 and 2022 collecting every g1 issue, crossover with GI Joe issue, headmasters issue, the movie issues, and even those 4 transformers universe issues that are full of character bios!). I love the idea of a comics galvatron, megatron, and soundwave! Hell maybe there are a few more characters I just can't think of at the moment you nailed the really different color schemes already. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get the Marvel G2 issues next lol
I think we technically got Marvel Galvatron in Selects (his colors in the comics _were_ based off the toy IIRC), but then again, Selects should *_really_* be available at brick-&-mortar retail and less difficult to acquire /:
16:07 I took the time effort and money to upgrade white Combiner Wars Optimus Prime into Nova Prime with a kit. Can’t remember the name of it offhand. Worked like a dream though. Looks exactly like your pic used here as an example. He’s easily leader sized. Hell, he’s practically MP scaled! I’m not sure Hasbro can do the character justice as a simple repaint. He’d need to be a massive retool, with wings.
Yeah I'd be all over that diaclone Mirage! I'm for all the others mentioned too. I love that idea, using a vok symbol instead of the widow hourglass and the "power corrupts" three pack. I'd like to get a diaclone Blitzwing repaint I'd also like that helicopter/jet triple changer to get a new figure in Legacy.
19:16 hey TJ Omega if we were to get a legacy repaint of action master starscream (using earthrise starescream mold) i think it would need a two pack release with a weaponizer partner that forms both a jet and armor for starscream, and that weaponizer partner would be using the seige sixgun mold. It be quite similar to the modernday shatter glass slicer & exo-suit two pack but hopefully with a heavy retooling built into it rather than a simple repaint like shatter glass exo-suit. Oh as for action master optimus prime (with that truck that also a mobile battle base) i think the legacy armada optimus prime mold would do quite well with it. (At least some time after the legacy armada optimus prime is released)
Comparing Kingdom Rhinox to the Takara repaint that's about to come out, I'm willing to call the Kingdom version "Predacon Rhinox" until we get a proper one. His rhino skin is that darker shade at least.
I agree with you on some of these. Like they need to do a two pack of flash leo prime and burning Optimus primal. And also a galva leo prime I mean when it came to a “convoy” mold that had repaints he had several I could want to see but the two I mentioned are probably going to be big sellers
I've been yearning for Marvel repaints for so long. All we seem to get is the occasional third party Grimlock and Optimus. I'd have a blue Megatron too please.
This wouldn't be based on existing characters, but I always thought there should be Sunstreaker repaints that were equivalent to Deep Cover and Clampdown. Sideswipe gets so many repaints, but the primary ones are Tigertrack, Red Alert, Deep Cover, and Clampdown. Sunstreaker only has Spin-Out and Cordon. We need a Sunstreaker in black and another in white and red to complete the symmetry.
@Cdr2002 That's true, although it could be argued that Cordon is a Red Alert equivalent purely in terms of being Sunstreaker's first lightbar remold, as Red Alert was to Sideswipe. Cordon would of course be the basis for a new fire chief car, in the opposite but equivalent way that Red Alert is the basis for Clampdown. Deep Cover and Clampdown being originally a two-pack is why I tend to think that way.
Earthrise Optimus as Evasion Mode Prime... or Primus forbid: Movie Prime flamejob on G1 COE style toys. They should've used Earthrise Hoist as RiD Towline: same vehicle type and the chest looks similar in robot mode. Even the placement of the wheels is accurate. Legacy Animated Prowl looks decent enough for an Armada Sideways, though I am biased as Sideways is my first Transformers toy ever. WFC Ultra Magnus as RiD Optimus/CR Fire Convoy. The combination is similar enough, so is shouldn't look too inaccurate. Though Galaxy Armor Prime took the firetruck slot for that mold. Siege Springer as a G1 style Drift/Deadlock. They have teased something like it in Cyberverse and I know they still use the mold for the current Wreckers subline. I've seen fans suggest Cybertron Downshift out of SS86 Jazz, mostly because of the hood-chest and the legs. It would be cool to have some more classic musclecars in Transformers. It would after that be an easy remold into a High Octane Bumblebee. A cute way to get Movieverse Bee in Legacy. Like it or not, I think he needs a spot in there somehere. Legacy Arcee would be a decent base for a Cybertron Ransack. They'll only have to redo the head and the chest... maybe the fairing in motorcycle mode.
Yesss I would love a Marvel Comics adaptation for them especially Galvatron, always loved that Steel blue color on him. Soundwave with the purple color scheme. With Machine Wars I had the same thoughts about using WFC Doubledealer for Soundwave. Especially that he can store "cassettes". That was always my turn off on the Machine Wars Soundwave, no place for his cassettes. All they needed was a simple retool and could have re-released the G1 Cassettes. Now with Skyquake id love to see a Machine Wars Starscream. Loved the color on him and in my fan fiction head that was the new body Unicron gave him. Another one I'd love is Dreamwave Sunstone. Come on! We got a seeker mold! Let's get this bada** seeker from Dreamwave. Another easy one would be taking the Earthrise Sideswipe and with a few tweaks Armada Wheeljack (lol just wrote this right before you mentioned him 😂😂😂) Always thought the same thing about Mindwipe a remold of him as Senator Ratbat was a no brainer. Heck being a Headmaster would they do wrong giving his headmaster a bat mode? Another one I can see it Siege Spinister. With some work he could be Armada Cyclonus.
This may sound controversial, but I would like some earthrise seeker recolors of rain makers, as well as other background seekers from season 1. No more siege recolors.
The fact that Kingdom Blackarachnia didn't get repainted into Animated colors is criminal
Or her trigger color scheme.
I mean, that could still happen.
AKA TJ's shiny Transformers wish list
Is bumbljumper a shiny 🤔
Ooo… shiny!…
@@ravenisnthere unique mold. As unique as the micro change penny-racer cars can be.
Honestly, I 100% agree with you on Wasp. Wasp was my FAVORITE character from Transformers Animated and the fact that he was never revisited was such a damn shame.
The fact that it is so easy is what pisses me off even more, they are so allergic to green Bumblebees they will sooner do a goddamn Hubcap or Glyph than they would Wasp.
Seeing as Animated Bumblebee is coming next year, a new Wasp seems almost inevitable.
I remember when it was rumored for a bit that we'd get a subline of WFC repaints styled after Bayverse colors; ie, Earthrise Prime in AOE Optimus's rusty "evasion mode" colors. It hasn't seemed to materialize and now I doubt that it was a real rumor, but I'd still love to see it.
I mean, "dead Optimus" and the "sparkless" bots released in that line pretty much covered the bayverse bland color scheme, lol.
Not just Nova Prime. We need more Primes as figures in general.
17:05 Wait a minute... we almost have Nova. The Christmas OP mold converts essentially the same! That could be repainted or have some chunks lifted for Nova!
yeah he brought it up. considering they have to pay a fee for that version i doubt they'll do it.
@@Lazrael32 Unless they can retool it further to remove the licensed vehicle. If they can retool a Volkswagen into Cliffjumper, they should be able to do it.
@@twistedgaming9185 that one is actually backwards. They retooled cliffjumper into a volkswagen. I'm willing to bet it is easier that way. Their license may not allow a retool. Which would explain why we got a generic optimus instead of the g2 version people expected. But maybe not.
They did an Animated Bumblebee. So hopefully now we get Wasp.
Hm. We’re getting a Shattered Glass Sideswipe and Mini-Con Whisper. So hopefully we get Armada Wheeljack soon.
Well, you got your mainline Nova Prime and (I think Amazon exclusive) Senator Ratbat, and with TFA Bee coming out in the 2024 line Wasp is a likely repaint there.
Original color tarantulas just came out in the 4-pack too
13:51 this... brings up a curious detail.
Nemesis Prime is an evil OP clone, why hasn't Wasp become the evil Bee clone?
Seems like Bug Bite is evil Bee to them but they barely use him either
You know what, they barely reused a lot of the Kingdom beast molds. It's criminal that we didn't get a Packrat out of the Rattrap. While they're at it, they might as well give us his old Botcon pack-in buddy, Fractyl.
They could have easily included them both in the Amazon Wreakers line.
We were supposed to get a packrat and fractyl in pulse. but they seem to have majorly hit the breaks on their select releases. I don't think the extremely lazy recolors have sold as well lately. but i am pretty sure they are missing out on some good money on those two! that or they are saving them for an exclusive line. (i know a couple of selects rumored figures have been coming out it these store exclusives lately)
For me I really want to see Mainframe get one in his actual colors since Mainframe has a really cool design
Agreed, the computer mode can be done up in silver as Teletraan 2
Even if they screw up legacy animated bumblebee and make him look awful, they give us a fugitive wasp repaint I will be more than happy!
I'm surprised we're 2-for-2 on modern Laser Prime molds and they still haven't repainted them in the movie deco.
Also wild how we still haven't gotten a Slipstream from a seeker mold
A Marvel comics line of figures, repaints and new figures would be so cool. Imagine Spanner as a figure (somehow). Scrounge and other more obscure characters would be awesome. Some of the characters in the Origins line, like Optimus as an Artillery cannon like in the comic. Please do a Marvel line Hasbro.
You had a rocky start with this video for me, leading with comics that like 80% or better of the fandom has never actually read and therefore probably wouldn't recognize, as well as some other random obscure colors that just wouldn't do much like those Megatrons, BUT then you brought up Predacon Rhinox and despite me not being huge on Beast Wars even I can't deny that that one is such a missed opportunity that surprisingly has never been done (Given your history with Cybertron Backstop, hearing you compliment a purple rhino threw me off a little)
HOWEVER, the one I think you absolutely NAILED is Wasp! Aside from the fact that Wasp is such a critical plot-relevant character in Animated both on his own and as part of Bumblebee's character development, he's a really cool concept all his own. What's crazy about it is that now that Bumblebee has just kind of become like...THE mascot character of the franchise by this point, the fact that they have the opportunity to have a "evil version of Bumblebee" to mirror the likes of Nemesis Prime or Scourge, and they've NEVER taken it??? I understand that Wasp was kind of a one-off character who was only seen in Animated, but so were Lockdown and Lugnut, and look at how they ended up, With Lockdown being a major character in one of the live-action films and Lugnut being such a fan-favorite between his outrageously expensive aftermarket Reveal the Shield toy as well as Clobber's existance...Wasp being as simple as a repaint of one of the most iconic characters in the franchise LOADED with potential, this is probably the best entry on the list by far.
One question for TJ. When do you get time to sleep or do anything other than work or make and edit your show? It's amazing how much you do for us. Great stuff.
I don't see Hasbro ever doing a series of Nelson Yamtov color-error Transformers repaints but that definitely seems like something Super7 would jump on in an instant.
Hasbro did 2 of the ehobby gobots already, where's Treds? We have the kingdom warpath right There?!
Speaking of kingdom, where are the Terrorsaur repaints?
We got a toy deco Terrorsaur, but no Lazorbeak, Hydra, Strafe, or Fractyl?
And speaking of Fractyl, where's the Packrat repaint of core rattrap?
We got Botcon Sandstorm from Scorponok, but no Doublepunch?
We have an Optimus Primal and Lioconvoy where's the Burning/Flash 2 pack?
Man I'd love to see love for machine wars. I love machine wars. I own the whole toyline.
In collaberative if Disney would sign off, The Kingdom Netflix mould or SS-18 would be easy to make into Herbie.
Yeah, I would really like to see Soundwave (marvel), Skid-z and Wheeljack (armada) on the shelves :)
Also I would add some realistic decos for characters like Astrotrain, Warpath, Blitzwing and those, it would really stand up the *Robots In Disguise* thing
It seems in the Amazon comic subline we will be getting a Marvel Soundwave
@@tfuniverse1651 boy i hope that is their subline. it'll be an easy skip for me. I know why some people like it but i always hated the crappy marvel colors.
There’s Treds, the Go-Bots character sharing Warpath’s mold, who is a green tank. We have Overcharge for Blitzwing, though I’m confused as to why a beige deserty tank isn’t realistic enough for you.
Galaxy Shuttle is our “realistic Astrotrain”, though the G1 toy has been done up in straight black and white before
Personally I’m ok with transformers being silly and don’t care much for being overly adherent to tie robots in disguise tagline, especially since “more than meets the eye” has overtaken it as the main franchise tagline.
@@Cdr2002 yeah i'm super surprised they haven't reused warpath for anyrhing. I think we will get an overcharge in the next year or two.
My question is, where is packrat? It would be so easy for them to do a blue repaint of rattrap. The only other use that mold got was for the Netflix, which was slightly different.
Amazing how many characters that were just background extras for a few seconds in one episode almost 40 years ago they've actually given names and turned it into figures.I mean as far as I can remember the green blue and yellow seekers were only on screen for like 2 seconds in the 1st episode of the 3 part 1984 pilot.
Considering the Classics Seeker mold got every repaint under the sun, I'm SHOCKED they haven't been churning out that Earthrise mold.
Where's Sunstorm?
Slipstream?
Ghost Starscream?
Action Masters?
Do what they did the Ramjet (twice) and revive a cancelled G2 color scheme that was all black
Heck, just color it as generic seekers and I'll cave in!
I think the trick with comic colors (in general, not just with Transformers) is telling the difference between an actual alternative color palette and a trick of the coloring/printing process. Like that Galvatron. To me, that reads as a shiny gray metal reflecting ambient blue light.
I remember thinking that Machine Wars Soundwave could work if they made a new Cybertron Defense Red Alert. While we're at it, we could also get a new Stalker to go with Skyquake. But using Doubledealer to integrate the cassette gimmick would be awesome!
One easy idea I have in mind is Galaxy Convoy into Nemesis Prime colors, because that is the only Optimus Prime design that I'm aware of to never get that repaint. Aside from that, some G1 repaints of the Studio Series 07 Autobots would be really cool to see. Especially that Jazz with the racing livery.
I feel like Sixshot is like that too, his regular green g1 colors look more bluish on camera, thus his Headmasters/Japan release colors
Yeah. The original design for spiderman was red and black. but they used a lot of blue to highlight it and most people thought it was supposed to be red and blue. so eventually it was.
Any SS Bumblebee as Cliffjumper. Simply put "This is Cliffjumper from an alternate universe where he escaped from Shatter and Dropkick and made it to Earth" in his bio on the back of the box and there ya go!
This may sound odd, but I've always thougt of the red mirage as Dino from DOTM.
If we get a Red Mirage I want them to call him Dino for that reason.
@@tfuniverse1651 Nice! I would do that too!
17:41 That's BotCon 2017 you're talking about because they had the same idea.
I'm surprised Starscream, at least to not my knowledge, got an Underbase/Cosmically Powered Starscream (no the Golden Lagoon repaint of CW Screamer doesn't count).
Of all the Starscream variatons, early Marvel Starscream is one I'd be interested in. Of course, when ER Screamer came out, David Willis turned one into a custom with those colors, but even 3P companies haven't done that color variation.
Though, yes, I would definitely want a Marvel US "steel blue" Galvatron. It's just so striking.
Considering there's a legacy animated bumblebee on the way, I bet we're getting a wasp as a Target or Walmart exclusive
17:35 And the newest Senator Ratbat toy that just got announced is... A Scourge repaint? Wow. We were _this_ close to predicting the future
AND the box of the Shockwave/ Orion Pax set teases a Nova Prime based on the Galaxy Upgrade Prime (or Magnus)
Sunstorm. We haven’t had a proper Sunstorm repaint in a long time. The last time we even got one in retail that I can remember was the Target exclusive for TF Animated.
Two of my most requested repaints made it into the video, that being Predacon Rhinox and Trigger Blackarachnia. However there are a few other Beast Era repaints that are really obvious that DON'T exist. Granted a couple of these would require some minor retooling as well but they are doable.
Beast Wars Quickstrike. Specifically I'm talking about the version of Quickstrike from the episode where he was remote piloting Optimal Optimus. The Power of the Primes mold would be fairly easy to turn into Quickstrike because of the way that toy works it was already designed with a gap in the robot mode right in the same place where Quickstrike was piloting from in the show. This would technically be a brand new figure cause what you do is you reuse the Optimal Optimus body but not the smaller Optimus Primal figure, that part you replace with a new Quickstrike toy specifically designed to fit into that body where Optimus Primal was suppose to go. The body you would just need to repaint in gunmetal grey and you have Quickstrike's remote exsosuit from the show.
Optimal Megatron. Again this is another reuse of Optimal Optimus that should be obvious but they've never done. And the Titanium version of the figure was already designed without a Beast Mode which makes that toy a terrible Optimus but a great Megatron. They just released it with the wrong face.
I will also point out that Tarantulus appeared in the comics using the same Ransack mold that Rattrap had been repainted from but that Tarantulus toy doesn't exist. Scorponok has TWO pre-BW appearances, one of them really didn't look like anything... I think it was suppose to be Energon Scorponok but it would take a LOT of retooling to make that mold look like BW Scorponok cause it looks like they only used the tail and arms, everything else would be an entirely new mold. The other was based on Cybertron Shortround that would really only need a new head.
We also never really got a Terrorsaur... I mean we did eventually get one that KIND of looks like his original depiction unlike the other two but they weren't using Cybertron molds anymore by the time any of these figures came out so they don't really fit in with the rest of the Pre-BW figures.
Another super obvious one that exists in fiction is Botanica. Not her original BM design but the one from the comics that was based on Prime Beast Hunters Soundwave. Obviously that mold exists since they intentionally used it in the comics around the same time that Soundwave was available in stores and I think that designs works really well as Botanica but the actual physical toy was never actually produced as that character. It sucks that even when she's based on an already existing mold she still can't get a toy.
Outside of Beast Era stuff for a minute... there is also a version of the Fallen who was based on Fall of Cybertron Bruticus.... they gave those figures a repaint into the Wreckers that have never appeared in fiction looking like that but never thought to make the Fallen out of those molds? I think the robot head was even more closely resembling the Ruination version rather than Bruticus but I love the Fallen's design in the comics and that version of the Fallen is one of the few redesigns that actually remembers he's suppose to be a living furnace. If they released those molds in the Fallen's colors, maybe threw in some flame FX to complete the look, I would buy those molds AGAIN... for the 3rd time... cause I already have the Combaticons and the Wreckers, but give me that Fallen damn it!
There is also a couple Omega Supreme repaints I'm surprised they never did... Specifically the Titans Return Sentinel Prime/Astrotrain mold, the "Train" mode on that figure is very similar to the "train" mode that Energon Omega Supreme had. The space ship mode is also very similar to Animated Omega Supreme. So it felt like there were two different Omega Supremes being homaged in that one figure, why the heck was that mold never repainted into that character?
The recent Ark figure is also a pretty obvious choice to use as Animated Omega Supreme. That could still be a titan class figure they might produce as a new mold and make accurate to Animated later on but if they wanted to go with a more G1 style design like they did with Animated Prowl in Legacy I could see them just retooling the Ark into Animated Omega Supreme.
Another recent super obvious repaint... if they repaint Earthspark Twitch as Rescue Bots Whirl I will buy that figure... I technically already have two of that mold because the first Twitch I picked up had defective misshaped parts that prevent her from actually transforming into her vehicle mode. The second one I got for free after E-Mailing customer service at Hasbro and works perfectly. Maybe I'll try modifying the defective copy into Rescue Bots Whirl. I mean that figure already came broken, I can't make it worse.
My favorite paint job of Soundwave is actually a 3rd party version of Prime Soundwave, with a delicious black n yellow deco.
That’s based on a GI Joe thing that they did as a con exclusive
After the recent Evan interview when we find out, it was gonna be soundwave or emirate Xaron, I’m kind of glad Soundwave hasn’t come yet just because he’s an easy layup for later.
I need more Diaclones... red Mirage, yellow Trailbreaker, blue Hoist, Loudpedal, Reboost, the other red Skids, Twintwist, and the Insecticons.
The animation repaint of Rhinox is coming. He's packed with Scorponok.
TJ was talking about Predacon Rhinox. It's different from his regular animation colors.
@OptimusPhillip I was not looking when I heard it... I just assumed... on second watch I see.
Studio series 86 Wreck-gar as Cykill with a new head and chest piece and maybe remolded shoulders so you can plung the wheels in it
The holiday Optimus could easily be retooled into Nova Prime because of the legs being the same style
16:50 Two versions they could do would be:
1. Redeco/head swap Legacy: Orion Pax into Nova Major.
2. Follow Maketoys route and redeco/retool Laser Optimus Prime.
Im still waiting for them to do an action master/SG Thundercracker
Yes! Thank you! I'm still surprised that they haven't done this with the Siege figure. We already have SG Starscream. So, why not give Thundercracker a go too?
Oh we are getting an orange Tarantulas now. Kind of. It’s not a 1:1 representation.
11:57 Repaints like what you’re suggesting are the perfect option for exclusives. Not freaking Ironhide and Prowl.
10:42 I really like the Kingdom One. So much so I even sold my Thrilling 30 figure. Though now I regret it. How awesome would customizing that into Predacon Rhinox be? What baffles me the most, as a person, is how I never once thought of repaints for either toy. Good vid!
I want the Buzzworthy Bumblebee Core Class Bee figure to be given a new head giving us Bumper.
Waiting for Hasbro to realize they never made a Soundblaster from the Netflix retool
Come on HasTak, you've already got the moulds, let's see:
- MP-13SG Shattered Glass Sir Soundwave (and his cassettes)
- MP-21GB Goldbug
13:46 I remember having this idea with that one movie bumblebee.
19:38 (core memory: unlocked)
They could do a recolour of the MP Soundwave (the swappable faces would seem more realistic on an MP) and I think people would certainly buy it (I can think of at least one)
I feel like one repaint that would be sick is a hell would be repainting the Constructicons as Autobots based off the vehicles they takes.
Scrapper as Cybertron Landmine
Mixmaster as G1 Quick Mix
Long Haul as Throttlebot Wideload
Hook as G1 Grapple
Scavenger as RID2001 Grimlock but would be called Hurricrane because why not
Bonecrusher as Armada Scavenger (but I would call him Musor which would be from his Russian name of Musorshchik)
Particularly after we got Goldbug in Buzzworthy, I cannot believe we haven’t gotten a Glyph and Tap-Out two pack for Selects.
I would agree but I think both of those characters started out as fan created. There might be some licensing concerns with those characters. I could be wrong though.
With the new Animated Bumblebee, Hasbro better make a Wasp eventually, we’ve waited long enough
Give him a unique head mold too, that would be great.
I haven't bought a figure in over a decade but if they finally released a Sideswipe figure repainted as Armada Wheeljack I would snatch that up no question, Armada was my introduction to the franchise and Wheeljack was my favorite character from that show so it's a no brainer for me.
I'd probably say a Diaclone Battle Convoy/G1 Toy Prime could be a very interesting retool/repaint of the Earthrise Prime (or Siege if they could somehow retool it into an Earth mode first for SS86 or something). Especially with a replication of that original head and the stickers with it.
IDW and Netflix used the Siege Seeker mold as the basis for the character models of 7 Seekers and I wish we got them repainted from the Siege mold:
Dirge
Thrust
Ramjet
Hooligan
Spacecase
Wingstun
Nacelle
Add Sandstorm, Blackout, G2 Ramjet, Sunstorm and Cloudcover to the list too. Not all of us like the Earthrise mold.
Actually the Siege Seekers have mostly gotten disappointing colour schemes:
Starscream seemed faded particularly with the battle damage muck.
The Rainmakers were based on a crudely animated cartoon. Acid Storm already had two nice colour schemes to choose from thanks to Classics and Masterpiece.
Hotlink was like a burnt KO Skywarp.
Who asked for the damn Sparkless zombie when there are plenty named Seekers needing figures?
I think most of us would like Siege Skywarp reissued at retail and we dont need the Battlemasters hiking up the prices.
Some non Seeker repaints:
Backstreet from Tracks
ROTF Oilpan from Legacy Breakdown.
Ruckus from CW Offroad at retail.
G2 Motormouth from CW Ironhide.
Selects Runabout reissued at retail.
Carnivac from Titans Return Weirdwolf.
Stepper from SS86 Jazz.
Ferak from Kingdom Cyclonus.
Gutcruncher from Kingdom Warpath.
Botcon Scorch from Hound.
Botcon Rapido from Siege Barricade.
The cancelled Actionmaster Botcon set at retail:
Skyfall from TR Highbrow
Sprocket from TR Triggerhappy
Bit of guilty repaint wish: Siege Megatron mold in 2001RID Destructicon Bludgeon deco, use head from Selects Combat Megatron release.
Armada Overload for me. He never got a proper Ultra Magnus repaint despite being named Ultra Magnus in JP. The closest that they came to it was the Magazine prize-exclusive.
I mean, Universe was just around the corner too. Easy way to retool them was to basically just say it was RiD2001 Optimus and Magnus before they hit Earth (which could explain the combination)
I've also done a Vlog about this topic on my channel. My video was a Top 10 of Unused Repaint Potential, which included G1 Stalker from the Cybertron Defense Red Alert mold among others.
Novus nova should be the holiday prime mold, the legs being the truck bits make the most sense to me and make me the trailer can turn into a crappy jet pack
Honestly the repaint I want to see most is Armada Red Alert from JP-93 from the Jurassic Park 2 pack. It's just begging to be made. But I fear they'll use Crankcase so they can do both the Armada and Cybertron Red Alerts at the same time.
A lot of these are exactly how I feel about Botcon's later years. The repaints just got so random and out of alignment, and yet there were still so many missed opportunities and poor choices (like who was seriously asking for a DOTM Megatron made from Prime Breakdown when we could have gotten Flywheels from the Blitzwing that was out at the time to compliment Battletrap?). Hasbro also seems to be skipping out on the great repaints a lot of times too.
I'm all for the "Power Corrupts" two pack, that's freaking brilliant. Another one they could do it "Energon Surge" and have Terrorsaur with a red Energon surge effect and a maximal like Cheetor with a blue version of that. The Kingdom Rhinox IS getting a repaint, but only in Takara's lines.
They really have a missed opportunity with the Bumblebee and Cliffjumper molds out rn. Wasp, Glyph, Tap-Out, Searchlight, etc. If you're going to use that mold as often as you are, go nuts with the repaints so we can at least get more characters. Armada Wheeljack better happen, I actually did a Digibash of that on TFW2005 along with Energon Arcee from Prime Arcee and Cannonball from Legacy Crankcase, and they all work pretty well.
Nova Prime needs a figure, big time. And the TFCC one isn't even THE Nova Prime, but reformatted SG Optimus Prime. Nova Prime is in desperate need of a figure.
It should be obvious, put the triangle at the top of the tower. Instead of the full hourglass, cut it in half, make it bigger and add the details into it.
You already mentioned the bot I've been asking for awhile Armada Wheeljack from Siege/Earthrise Sideswipe.
But here's one "major" character that is an easy repaint yet, Hasbro hasn't done him yet. SunStorm.
Seriously why hasn't SunStorm got a new toy from the Earthrise mould!? Just paint that mould in his colours, give him a megaton of fire effects and call it a day.
Can we get a Rodimus Unicronus from that commander class? I'd love to get a remold for the mustache too.
I would love a subline if Fox Kids styled Kingdom repaints
* *crawling, coughing and crying* *
Please... No more geewun. For the love of God....
The fact we STILL don’t have an armada wheeljack out of the siege or kingdom sideswipe mold astounds me. It’s one of the easiest repaints they can do and they have clear evidence of demand for more Armada toys.
Add Spychanger REV to the obvious Sideswipe repaints.
9:59 Definitely need this in my life.
11:02 This even more so
19:09 On the subject of Action Masters, Omega Spreem, Vange1us would love that one.
14:58 Looks more like a quick re-tool of Gigawatt. Either way, totally in the realm of possibility. It would sell like hotcakes too!
I know the Cliffjumper mold has been used a lot, but it would make a great starting point for doing the Throttlebots. Freeway and chase would really only need new heads. Searchlight would mostly need a retool on the feet. Rollbar could me retooled from Brawn. I don't have an immediate suggestion for Wideload. But we already have Goldbug.
Still waiting for comic-accurate goldbug…or at least a replacement head
That Soundwave look is awesome!
I'd love to see SS86 Jazz redone into Ricochet/Stepper. We already have Artfire, and they have no shortage on Tartgetmaster molds to include with him. Another very obvious one is Nemesis Prime using the Earthrise mold. I know we got two versions with the Siege version, but I'd love to see an Earth mode variant. They could throw in the Volvo/Christmas Prime head to spice it up, too. An Earthmode Soundblaster in Headmaster animation colors would be sick too, the purple chest would look so good and it could be how an ER Buzzsaw could finally be released.
I don't understand why we haven't gotten a ER Buzzsaw already years ago.
It could boil down to the fact that they just couldn't fit Buzzsaw into the Siege or Earthrise release timeline or he was considered and never made the cut like Kingdom Gears or Polarclaw.
@Nagare Ryouma They could have included him in Selects over the Ratbat repaint or pack him with a show character from S2 to give people reasons to get them if they aren't selling him with an ER Soundblaster.
Technically Armada Wheeljack is more based on Red Alert than Sideswipe. Same G1 toy design, I know, but the Sunbow model for Red Alert was more slavishly toy accurate than Sideswipe was.
One color scheme I’m surprise has never been used. Even in Japan is Megatron in that translucent purple as he’s been transformed into Galvatron I know that color scheme is used on the Galvatron toy. But that color scheme would feel like an obvious way to use the original G1 toy well getting going around toy law I mean we know to Cara has the technology to use the G1 molds translucent plastic. They’ve done if you ghost starscream toys, so put him with a G1 gray, Optimus prime can you have an a perfect homage to the movie for the last time we see these two characters in hindsight, it seems obvious
Just wanted to say as a big fan of the g1 Marvel comics (I spent 2021 and 2022 collecting every g1 issue, crossover with GI Joe issue, headmasters issue, the movie issues, and even those 4 transformers universe issues that are full of character bios!). I love the idea of a comics galvatron, megatron, and soundwave! Hell maybe there are a few more characters I just can't think of at the moment you nailed the really different color schemes already. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get the Marvel G2 issues next lol
I think we technically got Marvel Galvatron in Selects (his colors in the comics _were_ based off the toy IIRC), but then again, Selects should *_really_* be available at brick-&-mortar retail and less difficult to acquire /:
16:07 I took the time effort and money to upgrade white Combiner Wars Optimus Prime into Nova Prime with a kit. Can’t remember the name of it offhand. Worked like a dream though. Looks exactly like your pic used here as an example. He’s easily leader sized. Hell, he’s practically MP scaled! I’m not sure Hasbro can do the character justice as a simple repaint. He’d need to be a massive retool, with wings.
How about a purple and blue Megatron figure called Archforce or an Optimus Prime figure with a red body and white legs called Sureshot.
Soundwave, how about a face mask separate, I have seen it done a few times already.
Yeah I'd be all over that diaclone Mirage! I'm for all the others mentioned too. I love that idea, using a vok symbol instead of the widow hourglass and the "power corrupts" three pack. I'd like to get a diaclone Blitzwing repaint I'd also like that helicopter/jet triple changer to get a new figure in Legacy.
I really want a legacy acidstorm with the camouflage deco on the jet mode and also a sunstorm
19:16 hey TJ Omega if we were to get a legacy repaint of action master starscream (using earthrise starescream mold) i think it would need a two pack release with a weaponizer partner that forms both a jet and armor for starscream, and that weaponizer partner would be using the seige sixgun mold. It be quite similar to the modernday shatter glass slicer & exo-suit two pack but hopefully with a heavy retooling built into it rather than a simple repaint like shatter glass exo-suit.
Oh as for action master optimus prime (with that truck that also a mobile battle base) i think the legacy armada optimus prime mold would do quite well with it.
(At least some time after the legacy armada optimus prime is released)
Comparing Kingdom Rhinox to the Takara repaint that's about to come out, I'm willing to call the Kingdom version "Predacon Rhinox" until we get a proper one. His rhino skin is that darker shade at least.
kingdom wingfinger into beast machine skydive
Kingdom Blackarachnia painted as Arcee with a new head sculpt should be done
I thought we were getting Marvel Soundwave? Like a leak or something.
I don’t think they’ll do the no faceplate look
Marvel Comics coloured decos would slap so hard.
15:43 Only a few customizers have tackled it.
Kinda surprised they never did a G2 Starscream. I know it’s basically just G1 Starscream without the blue, but I thought it looked neat.
They did do G2 Starscream from the Classic Seeker mold. It was done by the Club, and was actually the last use of that mold.
They do have the comic book Galvatron with the alternate colors
I agree with you on some of these. Like they need to do a two pack of flash leo prime and burning Optimus primal. And also a galva leo prime I mean when it came to a “convoy” mold that had repaints he had several I could want to see but the two I mentioned are probably going to be big sellers
I love that idea for Armada Wheeljack
I've been yearning for Marvel repaints for so long. All we seem to get is the occasional third party Grimlock and Optimus. I'd have a blue Megatron too please.
12:01 Except for the Kingdom's Golden Disk card art.
This wouldn't be based on existing characters, but I always thought there should be Sunstreaker repaints that were equivalent to Deep Cover and Clampdown. Sideswipe gets so many repaints, but the primary ones are Tigertrack, Red Alert, Deep Cover, and Clampdown. Sunstreaker only has Spin-Out and Cordon. We need a Sunstreaker in black and another in white and red to complete the symmetry.
Cordon is the equivalent to Clampdown and Spin-Out is the equivalent to Tigertrack
A black one would be dope
@Cdr2002 That's true, although it could be argued that Cordon is a Red Alert equivalent purely in terms of being Sunstreaker's first lightbar remold, as Red Alert was to Sideswipe. Cordon would of course be the basis for a new fire chief car, in the opposite but equivalent way that Red Alert is the basis for Clampdown. Deep Cover and Clampdown being originally a two-pack is why I tend to think that way.
@@wsc0tt I think I get what you mean
Earthrise Optimus as Evasion Mode Prime... or Primus forbid: Movie Prime flamejob on G1 COE style toys.
They should've used Earthrise Hoist as RiD Towline: same vehicle type and the chest looks similar in robot mode. Even the placement of the wheels is accurate.
Legacy Animated Prowl looks decent enough for an Armada Sideways, though I am biased as Sideways is my first Transformers toy ever.
WFC Ultra Magnus as RiD Optimus/CR Fire Convoy. The combination is similar enough, so is shouldn't look too inaccurate. Though Galaxy Armor Prime took the firetruck slot for that mold.
Siege Springer as a G1 style Drift/Deadlock. They have teased something like it in Cyberverse and I know they still use the mold for the current Wreckers subline.
I've seen fans suggest Cybertron Downshift out of SS86 Jazz, mostly because of the hood-chest and the legs. It would be cool to have some more classic musclecars in Transformers. It would after that be an easy remold into a High Octane Bumblebee. A cute way to get Movieverse Bee in Legacy. Like it or not, I think he needs a spot in there somehere.
Legacy Arcee would be a decent base for a Cybertron Ransack. They'll only have to redo the head and the chest... maybe the fairing in motorcycle mode.
But we had a Senator Ratbat out of the old Generations Scourge mold, and that retool was reused as Serpent O.R. aka Serpentor.
Neither were widely available and the secondary market is just unreasonable these days.
Just reissue the Animated line. It was virtually perfect anyway.
Yesss I would love a Marvel Comics adaptation for them especially Galvatron, always loved that Steel blue color on him. Soundwave with the purple color scheme. With Machine Wars I had the same thoughts about using WFC Doubledealer for Soundwave. Especially that he can store "cassettes". That was always my turn off on the Machine Wars Soundwave, no place for his cassettes. All they needed was a simple retool and could have re-released the G1 Cassettes. Now with Skyquake id love to see a Machine Wars Starscream. Loved the color on him and in my fan fiction head that was the new body Unicron gave him. Another one I'd love is Dreamwave Sunstone. Come on! We got a seeker mold! Let's get this bada** seeker from Dreamwave. Another easy one would be taking the Earthrise Sideswipe and with a few tweaks Armada Wheeljack (lol just wrote this right before you mentioned him 😂😂😂) Always thought the same thing about Mindwipe a remold of him as Senator Ratbat was a no brainer. Heck being a Headmaster would they do wrong giving his headmaster a bat mode? Another one I can see it Siege Spinister. With some work he could be Armada Cyclonus.
i think that sg souncwave and bbuzzworthy goldbug are allowed to be uswed outside od walmart because of the different heads
Legacy Tarn would make a fantastic War Within Grimlock.
This may sound controversial, but I would like some earthrise seeker recolors of rain makers, as well as other background seekers from season 1. No more siege recolors.
I'm the opposite. I want more Siege Seeker repaints. I don't like the Earthrise mold at all.
Where. Is. My. Empowered. Blackarachnia!
