Had to be asked. OK More than 40 Generations figures in 2013 is a huge number when you come down to it. Literally huge. So go at it. Can you name your top 40 existing characters (no particular order) you'd like to see reborn next year? 1) Grimlock 2) Slug 3) Swoop 4) Snarl 5) Sludge 6) Blitzwing 7) Trailbreaker 8) Gears 9) Hoist 10) Skids 11)Kickback 12) Bombshell 13) Shrapnel 14) Silverbolt 15) Sky Dive 16) Air Raid 17) Slingshot 18) Fireflight 19) G1 Arcee 20) Fortress Maximus 21) Chromedome 22) Scrounge (please?) 23) Macabre 24) Impactor 25) Grotusque 26) Hun-Grr 27) Blot 28) Sinnertwin 29) Rippersnapper 30) Cutthroat 31) Skorponok 32) Carnivac 33) Jhiaxus 34) Elita 1 35) Deathsaurus 36) Devcon 37) G1 Top Spin 38) G1 Twin Twist 39) Chop Shop 40) Venom -ZacWilliam, god 40 is a hard list to fill, and I'm sure I left off a ton of good choices (especially big guys as i'd love Omega Supreme but not smaller than Leader)and yeah, I'm a G1 fanboy, no appologies there. What's your dream list look like? -------------------- Ever wonder about the speed of Turbofoxes?

I .... I think that 40 might be more than I want.
Certainly more than I can afford. -------------------- |

Doubt them. Question them. Suspect them. Group: Citizen Posts: 40,903 Joined: 10-October 03 From: England Member No.: 3,679 |
It would be completely unreasonable to expect forty new mold Deluxes. I seriously expect many of the forty if that number is accurate to be Cyberverse toys. And repaints from previous Generations toys plus repaints from other new molds yet to be announced.
Forty would be easy to fill but then I'd list some obscure characters few others care for. |

2) Slug Who now? Ah yes, we can't use "Slag" anymore. Meh. Anywhoozle, give me Trailbreaker, Gears, Huffer, Fortress Maximus, Laserbeak/Buzzsaw, Soundwave, along with the canceled Rumble and Frenzy, and I'll be a damned happy-camper.

Of course it's not 40 new mold deluxes. I'm sure the number includes redecos.

I guess if I were to take my list and put it in order of OMG WANT, it would read...
01) Fortress Maximus 02) Trailbreaker 03) Soundwave 04) Laserbeak/Buzzsaw 05) Huffer 06) Gears 07) Rumble/Frenzy Of course I'd love new Dinobots as well, but I put completing the 1984 cast + Fort ahead of that. -------------------- |

I know! Let's list our 40 favorite transformers! Brilliant! :/
The big question is what will they repaint/remold. I'd love a Jackpot from Prowl, a Ricochet from Jazz, and a REAL Roadrage/Swerve from Tracks. Purplestuff, Slicer, movie-esque Barricade from Prowl, and a half dozen other Classics/Universe/Generations autobot repaints. Including a junkion 2 pack w/ a more g1 inspired Wreckgar paintscheme. Sweeps. If you want to know what my priority deluxe Generations wishlist is... I guess: Blitzwing Swoop Slug/Slag Snarl (voyager) Sludge (voyager) Grimlock Gnaw/Sharkticons clearly listing 40 is just obscene. |

We know (ok, reasonably expect) the head remolds to be part of that so...
1) Kup remold (Swerve?) 2) Prime remold (Nemesis?) 3) Scourge remold (Ratbat?) 4) Jazz remold (uhhh?) 5) Perceptor remold (Reflector) 6) Lugnut (uhhh?) Plus I figure a lot more are redecos/remolds of earlier molds. I'd be shocked if we even get 20+ new Generations molds in 2013. -------------------- ![]() |

Really anything I put down just sounds way too fanboy-y/delusional.
If I could walk into a store and buy a voyager Ultra Magnus and at least one, but preferably more, of The 13 I will be incredibly happy. I'd want Ultra Magnus to be new and Aligned-y looking, and the The 13 should be one that doesn't have a toy already. Also, I don't really see them putting out 40 deluxes in a year. At least not all in one line. There has to be another size class. -------------------- |

Well, let's see. Just throwing out forty names, without any care for how recently they've had a toy/faction balancing/whether anything's announced/completing "team" groups with the guys that often seemed like filler...
Grimlock (Spotlight Shockwave) Swoop (Spotlight Shockwave) Divebomb Nightbeat Shockwave Dreadwind Darkwing Blackarachnia Hot Rod Impactor Ultra Magnus (some version of his classic "armour" look - i.e., NOT a white Prime!) Tankor (BM) Xaaron Springer Bludgeon Prowl Fortress Maximus (as a standard-size TF, not a base) Jetstorm (BM) Thrust (BM) Swindle Ratchet Scorponok (G1) Blaster Doubledealer Tarantulas Highbrow (G1) Blitzwing Kup Blurr Razorclaw Jihaxus Hardhead Nova Prime Override (Cybertron) Scourge (Cybertron) Sunstreaker (as Headmaster) Last Autobot Ratbat Broadside Rook (G2) |

I can't believe I forgot Nightbeat! I feel like that omission throws my whole list into chaos and doubt. I'm like the guy from Monty Python who got ejected off the bridge for misstating his favorite color. ;p Seriously. Nightbeat is right behind "The rest of the 84 cast" and "all the Dinobots"on my top wish list. And pre-planed Minerva repaint/remold please. -ZacWilliam, yes 40 new mold Deluxes is rediculous, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun listing the 40 characters we'd love to see done.

1. Shockwave (A helicopter, a less flimsy-looking HISS Tank or hoverjet like DOTM Laserbeak would be nice)
2. Soundwave (A stealth drone or a tricked-out van would work) 3. Starscream (An F-22, as long as he's less boring than the Classics Seeker mold) 4. Red Alert (UT) 5. Starscream (Armada) 6. Megatron (Tank, can be colored like G2 or Classics) 7. Scourge (Nemesis Prime made from RTS Prime) 8. Swindle (Can be a new mold or a Hound retool) 9. Lockdown (The ROTF mold is good, but I'd like one with less panels) 10. Blitzwing 11. Jetfire (Armada) 12. Optimus Prime (Can be a new Deluxe firetruck, maybe?] 13. Ironhide (either a Humvee or a Movie-inspired pickup truck) 14. Flatline (A hearse, natch; this guy NEEDS a toy. And more appearances in fiction. A Classics-ization, but due to him modifying his own body, he's very lanky-looking and freaky.) 15. Nightbeat (new mold) 16. Megatron ([strike]Armada[/strike] MOOSE) 17. Megatron (BW) 18. Ratchet (A new separate mold from Ironhide) 19. Blaster (Can be a Soundwave retool if Soundwave's a van) 20. Arcee (Preferably a bike, basically a Classics-ization of Prime Arcee) 21. Cosmos (Has to be a UFO, and has to be chubby.) 22. Barricade (Classics-ization of Movie Barricade) 23. Prowl (Retool of Barricade) 24. Sky-Byte (New mold for all the people who missed out on Botcon Sky-Byte; I didn't, but it'd be nice for there to be more Sky-Bytes for everyone) 25. Waspinator (Every joint is able to be detached and re-attached - just like in the show!) 26. Slipstream (Classics - turns into a Berkut) 27. Thundercracker (Transforms into a Cobra Rattler) 28. Skywarp (Transforms into an F-117 and comes with a cardboard stand that's essentially a set of stairs for him to push people down (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-fire.gif) ) 29. Springer 30. Optimus Primal 31. Sentinel Prime (Classics-ization of the DOTM version) 32. Bulkhead (Classics take on Animated Bulkhead) 33. Cannonball (New mold Amphibious Assault vehicle, or maybe a Bulkhead retool - like a bigger Breacher) 34. Whirl (A V-22) 35. Roadbuster (Basically a Warthog from Halo) 36. Rhinox 37. Orion Pax (A pick-up truck based on Alternators Optimus - has the IDW Pre-Prime Optimus head) 38. Galvatron (New mold that turns into a futuristic tank) 39. Jackpot (Nightbeat Retool) 40. Blackarachnia (A show-accurate representation of her original BW form) |

There's been a little confusion.
You see, the breakdown is actually like this: Ten Fall of Cybertron toys (Bruticus, Shockwave, Optimus, Jazz, filler, filler) And the remaining spots are all Sky Lynx. -------------------- |

And pre-planed Minerva repaint/remold please. Curious as to whether the repaint/remould would be Minerva or Siren (for the latter, packaged in car mode, it'd be a blue car and a silver car). Never likely to get a Siren otherwise, after all, and while Hasbro are slightly less gun-shy than they once were on the "OH NOES GIRLS!1" front, I'm not entirely sure they'd go out of their way to do one if there was an alternative.* *No, Nightbeat and Siren weren't originally mouldmates, but they ARE similar cars associated with one another, and cases like Tracks/Wheeljack, Drift/Blurr & Bumblebee/Cliffjumper/Hot Shot show they're not shy about making a repaint/remould out of a character who originally wasn't one. |

I really hope the 40 figures includes older Classics molds like Mirage. I'd love to own Mirage again, I don't remember what happened to mine.

all the head remolds finally released and a rumble/frenzy 2pack cause i ain't paying foreign prices for something hasbro should've already put out.
as for new stuff, i'd really like to see the dinobots all made, but i'd really prefer a voyager size class to be included so they could make sludge bigger. and if we're getting voyager class, i'd throw in bm tankor, bw rhinox, and tm megatron -------------------- ![]() |
