The design, of course, is similar to the Voyager.

It's odd that there aren't more spare/alternate heads... those could be useful for turning the many Classics Bees into other characters [this guy uses a Movie Bee head and a Cyb Hot Shot head].
I'm also not exactly surprised it hasn't been made, but I would like an alternate Skyfire-type backpack thing for Classics Jetfire. -------------------- Click to visit Cybertron Philippines, the biggest Filipino Transformers fan community!  |

FP's usually not into that sorta thing. I'm sure they could manage an inaccurate version, and add a shortened trailer with only one extra set of wheels, which would be passable, I suppose. But I still wanna see a show-accurate one... |

Not just heads. Posable hands, too, seem like they'd be a no brainer. This post has been edited by TheTurnipKing: May 7 2011, 09:58 AM |

Some kind of Powermaster Prime trailer, although if it involves having a big chunk form some kind of awkward gun, I'm out.

I'm surprised there isn't more minicon compatible stuff. Even if they didn't want to use Minicons as minicons and prefer to go with nostalgia, there's still ports they could use for their own creations and whatnot.

For largely static parts like heads, though, most of the materials should be OK (especially since you're probably going to need to paint it anyway. For a transformable figure, you'll need a little more care in material choosing. This post has been edited by TheTurnipKing: May 7 2011, 02:05 PM |

I thought someone would make some add-ons for MP Rodimus. I.E.: Shield and Sword from the shuttle scene, energon-goodie dispenser, a mini Daniel figure and hoverboard, stuff like that.

I've always liked Nebulan companions. ) Sorry for slightly derailing the thread, by the way. |

I grabbed a couple of Redshifts little targetmasters, and they were great. Just avoid the detail material. It's not really up to transforming joints. (Would probably be fine for static parts like a head, though) This post has been edited by TheTurnipKing: May 7 2011, 02:59 PM |

More alternaye heads.
A G1 style head for ROTF Nightbeat. I'd love trailer/armour for Nemesis Prime that makes him Motormaster. A basic size Energon Prowl head for the Machine Wars Prowl mold. Though I'd probably throw it on Robotmasters Mirage for colour accuracy. A smaller deluxe head for Reissue Kup. G1 Kup is a nice toy but the head ruins it for me. As a lover of the custom head for G1 Ironhide, I'd love an adaption of G1 Skids' weapons so Ironhide could have his flip out drill even it clips on rather than flips out. Hunter Headmaster for Sunstreaker. Clip on roof/spoiler to make Cybertron Swerve resemble G2 Hot Rod a tad more closely. It could be one piece and act as an arm mounted shield in bot mode while clipping onto the cyber key/gun port in car mode. A little flame sticker for the bonnet would be nice too. Pretender armour for Starscream. |

classics god bomber ... skip Powermaster all together ... give it two connection points so Prime can tow it between G3 and Powered commander.

QUOTE(windsweeper @ May 8 2011, 02:41 PM) Hunter Headmaster for Sunstreaker. If it's for classics wouldn't that require some fairly heavy work on the connection area, and a rather tiny headmaster head? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-arcee.gif) As for things I'm surprised haven't been done... I suppose it makes sense given how geewunny these third party kitters tend to be, but I'm a bit bummed no one tried to make a head upgrade to turn Roadbuster Ultra Magnus into Roadbuster himself. Also, an upgrade kit to give HFTD Ironhide a movie-accurate left arm cannon, instead of mounting that drone on there. And as much as I'd rather not see it made, a sniper rifle/monocled noggin' for RTS Perceptor. -------------------- QUOTE You're far too young to be this bitter and angry at the world....  |
