For Prowl, I'd say this is a golden opportunity for that one Animated Barricade art piece we never got.
Derrick J Wyatt also created a character model for Groove from Animated Prowl, and First Aid from Bumblebee. They can't combine, but it would be interesting to see if Hasbro remembers those designs.
I want to see Axelgrease be remoulded as Animated Lockdown, but come with extra parts so you can replicate his limb swapping from the show with hook, chainsaw, EMP blaster, etc. Plus he’s already a spiky muscle car. Maybe retool the figure to have longer legs for an extended hood of the car and to make Lockdown taller and lankier in robot mode.
Edit: I enjoyed this format. Would be down for more
I need Trashmaster as Animated Wreck Garr to go with him pronto!
My guess is at first that was gonna be the case then they decided Chase as the retool and that is who we get in the Star Seeker subline
I would like to get Axel grease, so that way I could combine it with shadow striker.
Personally I’d much rather an original mold I can't really see Axelgrease doing him justice
@@tfuniverse1651 I was going to say exactly this. Lockdown needs to be a tall, lanky deluxe class, and Axlegrease doesn't do it for me with her bulkier proportions.
Fascinating idea, hope this video gets traction so we can see this in other toylines
There was a character in RID'15 that was an Autobot recolor of Bludgeon that would be cool to get a repaint/retool of. I think his name was Blastwave. I enjoyed the episode he was in
Almost wonder if they could get Armada Sideways out of the Animated Prowl.
Replace the head with a port for Headmasters.
A fascinating idea I've seen for Tarantulas is to turn him into Octopunch. Merging the crab elements of his core robot with the octopus bits of his shell.
For tm2 Megatron, I'd buy a green repaint based on the Classics Minicon Brimstone.
Metalhawk i can see.making for an interesting take on Pretender Starscream. If one bases the deco on the shell.
Shard's mold can be retooled into Energon Bulkhead. That mold was made for him.
We need non transparent Eject and Rewind in solid black and blue.
We’re getting a solid eject with 86 Blaster
11:58 There's a TON of dragons they could pull for Dragon Megatron.
I will forever stand by making a retool of scraphook into tow mater
The Skids mold I want to see used one more time just because I will be livid if my favorite of the City Turbo bots, Reboost, is the only one to not get a new toy. I have every color of this mold and I want my damn Reboost to complete the set.
I still need to get the Crosscut repaint, even though I keep telling myself I don’t need it because I’ve got the MP.
I think trash master's probably gonna get retooled Into tfa wreckgar Since it is the same kind of garbage truck that wreckgar turned into an animated. I could also see them doing a repaint with slight retool out of the strong arm mold into Nightra.
Ooh, I’d love a Nightra retool of Evo Strongarm!
If they release Armada Optimus in his final episode colours without a trailer but with his minicon I'd buy that. I don't like that I'd have to buy a new one and that he didn't just come with it in his normal colours but that repaint of Optimus goes hard.
Edit: The only acceptable mold to use for Cybertron Ransack is the Legacy Arcee mold. Its PERFECT for him, the "Prime" Arcee headsculpt looks almost exactly like his does minus the horn, and everything else on the figure just lines up exactly where it did on Ransack. Animated Prowl doesn't even come close.
The only thing that Ransack and Prowl have in common is where the arms end up in vehicle mode
Tarantulas, in my opinion, is one of the best modern Transformers.
The only other use for him is for a Collab, maybe for their MONSTER line, where he is some sort of a horror movie spider.
Fox Kids! Transmetal color scheme repaint
@@benjaminwiseman6567that’s my favorite Tarantuluas deck and came here to say that!
Funny thing about the Prowl. DNA Design already did a Samurai Prowl kit. I got it. It's pretty damn good tbh. So I doubt Hasbro would do it to begin with, but if most collectors got the upgrade kit, then there's no chance.
3:49 I know there's one customizer that recolored this mold into one of the Battle Beasts.
The insecticons have not been represented in Studio Series for their appearances in the 86 movie yet. I could see Hasbro reusing those molds there.
I love the concept of this video. It would be fun to do this with molds in previous lines. For Tarantulas, I want the Fox Kids! Transmetal color scheme, the silver and black one that was the hardest Transmetal to find.
I could see the Devcon mold being used as Fulcrum for a Scavengers capsule. Like you said, it's generic enough that could work for anyone.
Devcon is an extensive remold of SS86 Blurr, you're right.
Not only that, but SS86 Blurr is a retool of Titans Return Blurr (or at the very least uses TR engineering)
re: the core seeker mold, I agree we need a redo of Skywarp, but I wouldn't mind seeing it retooled into the coneheads as well.
Trashmaster should be retooled into Heavy Load.
I want core class cone heads Hasbro
A flying car Starscream! How droll!
They could do a Spiderman or Venom repaint for Tarantulas as a easy crossover figure.
I thoroughly enjoyed this format wouldn't mind seeing this redone as a special treat or once a year for each toy line but only as a recap only.
8:00 I know there's a cancelled Takara concept where they wanted to recolor the original Legion/Legends scale version into G1 Prowl's Action Master partner.
Great video! The ONLY thing i would change is add Re-issue/ Re-pack for some of the harder to get figures that people missed out on.
You actually did a package refresh with Tarantulas. He was package refreshed from Legacy year 1. And core Energon Megatron is Legacy United.
Good stuff as always.
Really like this format.
I also couldn't agree more about needing Axel Grease in junkion colors = Drives me nuts.
Like a pirate with a steering wheel belt buckle.
Glad I'm not the only one who feel this way too 💯
I think with some extensive retooling, you could get Rescue Bots Heatwave out of Trashmaster.
Trashmaster is an easy heavy retool into Energon Demolisher in his dump truck form after he was reformatted.
For reals.
I really hope that Ruckus is a VERY heavy retool of Beachcomber and not just a "new head repaint" like Windsweeper. Ruckus
needs his heavier shoulders, legs, and enclosed cabin to absolutely nail it for me.
I want a Core class Ultra Magnus trailer to come with a repaint of Core Optimus Prime.
14:37
Transformers Prime: Widower
The 2025 toyline, and a name for Black Widow version.
Even added a United figure in there :D
28:08 What about some recolors & retools based on his Movieverse version (I was thinking even Cybertron: Hardtop, since that was used for his SG version)?
I would love to see a beachcomber repainted with a new head as Joyride.
I think that Joyride will work better as a remold of upcoming Sureshot.
I think this is a cool format. I'd like to see more similar to this.
It's a bit depressing HOW MANY of these toys I've NEVER seen on shelves anywhere.
So true.
I'd love to see this become a full series. You could possibly go over previous toylines and do a then vs now which is better or which one id love to see redone/reissue again
I can see them doing Trash Master as Animated Wreckgar. It would need to be retooled, but the vehicle would work.
There was a red recolor and green recolor of Animated Prowl that appeared in the IDW comics. I think one was called Horsepower but I have to check.
9:40 crazy repaint. ROTF green repaint
Honestly the skids mold would be a real great repaint/retool into animated soundwave. And i could see devcon being retooled relatively easily into cybertron thunderblast (the female decepticon who turned into a speedboat.). Also even though its technically not part of this line, can we all agree that voyager cyclonus is the best base to use for retooling into beast wars depthcharge?
Animated Prowl feels like it will get remade as "Samurai Prowl" around the same time we get an Armorizor/weaponizer that can be redecoed as his Samurai Armor.
Then it's an easy two pack of Animated Prowl and that Armorizor/Weaponizer as a selects or exclusive
Good point. Nice posting!
I'd be down to see one of these for base legacy too since we're still seeing some repaints from that line
This is an interesting idea. Please do more video of this format
Yep. More vids would be good.
I would love a retool of tarn to be done with the quartex helm from cyberverse
Watching this just made me realise most of Evolution is old molds
The repaint of Leo Prime is shelfwarming *HARD* where I am. That one is probably due for a retiring.
He's called Dead End because anywhere you look for one, it's a dead end.
Core Class Energon Megatron could work as Straxus. His altmode in Marvel comics has similar vibes.
Energon Galvatron has a few repaints such as red/black which would be cool.
I want to see Armada Sideways from Animated Prowl
Dig the format, would like to see the stuff from WFC onwards done in this format (we're probably not seeing stuff reused from before that to any significant degree).
I do hope we get a Golden Lagoon Beachcomber. Even if a gen select with paint instead of gold plastic
2:15 We need more Soundwave repaint in other colors. A green one? A red one? Why not! Invent new guys! 3:30 How about retooling Bomb-Burst into his buddy Submarauder? Just a new backpack, new weapons and a new head? 5:50 we need a blue Optimus repaint, it looks really good. 12:35 I'd retire the Blurr mold I'm tired of it... OR just give him the right head and chest and we got a Fulcrum! It's not a bomb but it's sorta similar in shape to Fulcrum's altmode. 16:20 I want a red repaint as Go-bots Little Foot! 23:54 Rescue Bots Salvage is right there! I've also seen a digibash of a retool as Heatwave too.
Nice points.
I feel like the Prowl figure could be retool into Sideways
Here’s my idea for bludgeon/Tarn: get rid of the stinking clear plastic chestplate, and replace it with solid plastic. I will keep bringing that up until Hasbro does it. If that doesn’t happen in the package, refresh, I am going to take an entire day off from Transformers. Yeah, it would make me that frustrated.
Great format/idea. For me, I would love if they took one more run at Blaster, simplified the mold by removing some of the extra greebles, removed the translucent plastic and released him in the SS86 toy line. I could take or leave a Twincast or a SG version of this new tooling.
But at least give us modern Steeljaw and Ramhorn before the mold is retired. 😢
SS86 Blaster is already listed and confirmed to be a Target Exclusive
Also Steeljaw is a core in 86 this year
@@noodle9829 Yes and while that release covers some of what I said, I wish they would also get rid of the extra speakers and other greeble. I like the design for a modern take on 50-year-old tech, but I still want the toon look for SS86.
@@noodle9829 And unless there's another listing for SS Steeljaw that I've missed, I think the Core class release you mentioned is the AOE version, not 86.
@@Trebleshot It was originally believed to be AOE Steeljaw but was corrected afterwards. It’s 86.
For Breakdown, Beachcomber, and Devcon I'd like to see Re-ISSUES lol never saw those guys anywhere.
I think it would be pretty cool if the retool/repaint of Tarn was an autobot variant
So, Roller
I won't retire the Skids mold until I get Reboost and the other red one
I was about to say that retooling Nemesis into the Victory would fix that issue you had with her, then it occurred to me that the Victory was... basically just another Nemesis. So it wouldn't really be all that different.
I can think of one more use for that Blaster mold you might be into. _[eyes clear plastic Eject deviously]_
There are a ton of 1988 buggy characters that may need the Beachcomber mold.
Tarantulas in Legacy Evolution was a Package Refresh from Legacy so I don't think he should count here. With that being said I would love him in prerelease orange colors that were featured in original ad and early boxes.
I think they could get a decent Armada Sideways out of Prowl. Even maybe finagle a rider who could be a helmet to replicate the headmaster gimmick and release it as an exclusive voyager.
G2 Beachcomber would be fun
I feel like we need another sideswipe repaint, but I don't think Hasbro is listening to the demand for more sideswipe repaints.
I'm not done with Devcon, Bombshell and Beachcomber, because I'M STILL WAITING FOR MINE DAMN IT!
I have an idea for a mold: Rescue Bots Boulder and Energon Landmine.
3:20 there's also the all white one
I want a reboost out of skids, hopefully a generation selects
Too true. More Skids for the win.
Trashmaster could easily be retooled into Landfill and Wideload. Beachcomber could be retooled into Joyride (powermaster).
Would love to see armada sideways from prowl
Tarantulas needs to get the toy deco treatment, I've been loving those, I still need to get the toy Blackarachnia!
How about retooling the transmetal 2 megatron as charizard that way Hasbro can do a Pokemon colab figure as well as doing the yugioh colab tj omega
nice video, yes, I'm agree with you, there are lot of usage and not... definely we need a new Tarn with a good color scheme improvement
You could do Crossovers Spiderman from Tarantulas, as well as the orange prototype version.
Not gonna lie I think the Legacy Elita-1 mould could work for most of the Female Autobots if they heavily retooled it like they did with Strongarm, but after they did all the team out of the dang PotP mould I doubt they're gonna redo them any time soon which is a shame. Wouldn't mind them retooling Strongarm into Nightra tho
How about Armada Prime retooled with actual truck doors ?
True dat.
Good format!
i agree with you about trashmaster, though i can see them trying to get an animated wreckgar out of it before retiring it..even though it would be crap.
Can we have a tutorial on how to do this?
You could probably make a decent repaint of tarantulas in idw colors...from the wreckers comic
Maybe Nautica out of that 86 Blur mold
Machine Wars Hoist and Hubcap from Tow-Line.
Which one of these could be heavily retooled into a deluxe class Windcharger?
The irony here is that you say you'd like another repaint of Axelgrease but then you turn around and say you'd be fine with retiring Scraphook which is what got remolded/repainted into Axelgrease to begin with.
Watch Ruckus be a Hound repaint😂
I think Strongarm has one more use. Smallfoot from GoBots.
This was a great video idea. I say do it again whenever United wraps up.
I like this concept for a line retrospective kinda thing. Looking forward to one for united when that's done.
I loved the g1 looking Japanese repaint of Animated Prowl and really hoping for it. I also want a nod to Fox Kids Transmetal Tarantulas if we can’t get a real Transmetal Tarantulas and repaints.
Energon Megatron was only legacy united I thought.
I believe that they are rerelease the Kingdom Blaster mold one last time to make a Rewind that isn’t in the clear plastic and a solid blue color. I think they should just release the Blaster 86 Movie cassettes in either a four pack or as individual core class figures.
Yea Minerva was done so wrong. Using the Elita mold was strike one and taking away her headmaster ability was strike two. I might have accepted the new look if she had been retooled to incorporate the headmaster ability (Takara Legends already gave us a Headmaster mold) retooling the canopy to open up wouldn't have been that hard. Yea not the right look for her but maybe acceptable. Ohhh Skyquake yea we need a Machine Wars Starscream and Universe King Atlas, but Machine Wars I have little hope for. King Atlas ehhh possibly. Yea Nemesis was probably more famous cuz of Beast Wars. I haven't picked it up because of space, but yea if it was done more in the Beast Wars colors I'd really think it over. The Cyclonus/Metalhawk mold I really think they could rework that into Thunderwing (Marvel Comics version)
damn when you said cryotek i was thinking of visionaries
Ha! You too?
SKIDS SUPREMACY LETS GO
Call me crazy, but I think you could make a decent reimagining of Leader-1 out of Metalhawk.
27:23/27:36 What about some retools based on his 3P counterpart?
