What I love is translucent plastic with a paint layer underneath to bring out details on the underside. It never fails to add that bit of extra class.

Triple changers as its an extension of the core gimmick: Transforming.
Playsets and/or vehicles. Granted, they mostly only work for small-scale figures (Core and smaller), but building a world for the Transformers to live in beyond just the Titan figures is kind of fun. (Much like the Target/Battlemasters, I would prefer transforming vehicles and playsets)
On a tangential note, some day, I want to see Optimus' trailer transform into some kind of robotic steed for him to ride.

All the Breastforce partners turn into animals, right? I've said it before, but leave out the 'r' and you have the similar-sounding Beastforce without losing much. It would even kind of synergize with Dinoforce.
That is a good one. Breastformers are like Action Master partners, but better.
