Well, there was this proposal for a Gobots BotCon set from several years back.

Ramjet does seem to make a better Fitor..... I'd definitely want one!

Long list here...

• Deathsaurus and/or Hun-Grr (whatever it's spelled)from Cybertron Scourge
• The Fallen from Universe 2.0 Galvatron .(could work, probably. if not him, then someone...)
• Enemy from Rumble/Frenzy (Not sure how likely this would be...)
• Skyquake from Ultra Silverbolt (some retooling required)
• Ultra Magnus from RTS Optimus. Also, Turbomaster Thunderclash from same mold.
• Cybertron Hot Shot from RTS Tracks (considering that they're both sports cars with wings). Which also leaves room for a Goldbug retool.
• Bug Bite from Legends Bumblebee
• Ricochet from RTS Jazz. They can give him a PCC mini-con or something. Or even none, since it might cause confusion with Cyclonus' Nightstick.
• Artfire from Universe Inferno. For the Nebulan partner, same as Ricochet above.
• Air Warriors from Energon Starscream (the Classics mold has been used a few times too many, methinks). Also, G2 Smokescreen from same mold.
• Sentinel Prime from Cybertron Defense Hot Shot.
• Star Convoy from Cybertron Optimus. (okay, probably less likely than most others on the list.)
• Dead End from Universe Sideswipe/Sunstreaker
• Metrotitan from Cybertron Metroplex (why not?)
• Megaplex from the Classics Tank Megatron.
• Cy-kil from RTS Wreck-Gar.
• Seacon Overbite from Beast Wars Transmetal II Cybershark. (Can they still actually use this mold?)
• Quickmix from Cybertron Quickmix. They can call his Min-con whatever they want.
• Beastbox from Cybertron Crumplezone (that mold was already ape-ish, anyway).

I think I had some more ideas, but they've either already been mentioned, or I can't remember them right now, unfortunately.

(...)They could probably use the Revel the Shield Perceptor mold to make Blaster and Soundwave.

Yeah, this too. Although Soundwave I want more than Blaster.

[ssg4life]

which sentinel prime are you talking about? animated?

[Luke]

Cybertron Hot Shot from RTS Tracks (considering that they're both sports cars with wings). Which also leaves room for a Goldbug retool.

Blue car into lighter blue car?

Ricochet from RTS Jazz. They can give him a PCC mini-con or something. Or even none, since it might cause confusion with Cyclonus' Nightstick.

Takara's doing it, so not likely...

Star Convoy from Cybertron Optimus.

What's different?

Quickmix from Cybertron Quickmix. They can call his Min-con whatever they want.

WANT.

what's wrong with one of the two good Classics and Friends Soundwaves we have now?

One is sold out and expensive (not to mention tied up with electronics when most people just want a simple toy). The other is a Cybertronian mode that just isn't what some people want.

Now, how the Perceptor mold REALLY solves the latter one, I dunno, but I'm not the one asking for it.

Actually the two Classics Soundwaves are the WfC one and a TRU exclusive reissue of the original 80's toy.

That doesn't negate your response...just take out the "electronics" part and add in "just a reissue".

[Luke]

RTS Prime with colors closer to the laser prime toy. Maybe a darker Mettalic grey, painted in matrix, and a different shade of clear plastic.

So... this.

[NotVeryKnightly]

War Within Sentinel Prime. I think there was a Sentinel Prime based on Cyb def Hot Shot that was planned as a convention exclusive, but they decided on Springer instead.

Cybertron Hot Shot from RTS Tracks (considering that they're both sports cars with wings). Which also leaves room for a Goldbug retool.

Blue car into lighter blue car?

Still better than all those redecos of Bumblebee as Bumblebee. I want the Goldbug more than the Hot Shot, honestly. We need a heroic version of SG Goldbug.

Well, the Perceptor mold does look more like an Earth vehicle than any of the WfC guys. I'm all up for a vehicle Soundwave, honestly.

Also, about that Star Convoy one, looking at the actual Star Convoy, it looks like Armada Prime would be a better match.

And um, more ideas:

• Cybertron Defense Hot Shot as Onslaught. (it's the back cannons)
• PCC Searchlight as Sandstorm

But also... Movie Brawn from the ROTF line seems to work really, really well as ironfist. The pistols even look like the brain guns.

Fallback would probably be a much easier starting point.

[Vestras]

CHALLENGE MODE!
Ideas for repaints of CHUG HotShot, Cybertron Menasor, and DotM Skyhammer. GO

[NightViper]

Master Disaster
*Pass - please no repaints of that thing*
Rotorstorm

Yeah, this too. Although Soundwave I want more than Blaster.

Definitely agree with the Energon Starscream mold for Seekers. I remember reading War Within 3 and thinking the Air Warriors looked very like Energon Starscream. Plus we can retrofit Seeker drones into the Universe Trilogy.

Megaplex needs some love as well.

Might I suggest Beastbox from the Real Gear X Box controller as the bot mode was definitely reminiscent of a gorilla.

Would kill for Powertrain and Ironworks from RTS Prime with the head in the instructions.

RTS Windcharger would be cool as G1 Gobot Megatron or Blackjack. Wildrider would be nice too.

Tankor as War Within Motormaster?

Regarding Hun-gurrr from Cybertron Scourge, I'd like all the Legends Classics repaints applied to their larger counterparts, especially Blades.

With all the talk of G2 Optimus as Scourge/Nemesis Prime, I thought I'd throw this out there, if someone could digibash it that'd be great.

RiD Autobots:
Inferno as Super Fire Convoy
Ironhide as X-Brawn
Ratchet as Prowl
Mirage as Skid-Z
Grapple as Wrecker-Hook

RiD Decepticons
Onslaught as Mega-Octane
Hound as Rollbar
Starscream as Windsheer
Jetfire as Skyfire for kicks

heh, that would be a nice Botcon set with exclusive two packs.

That's...different

Ratchet as Prowl

That's...different

Ment Red Alert, my mistake

Edit: I'd use the Japanese names too, Mach Alert, Wild Ride and Indy Heat, as opposed to Prowl, X-Brawn and Skid-Z, in hopes of an actual Classics Skids at some point.

Grapple as Wrecker-Hook

Kup would be a better fit for Tow-Line, I think. There's no CHUG tow truck, but a pickup's a closer match than a crane.

If you're going to drop the "tow" and just go with "truck" RTS Optimus might actually be closer than Kup. Considering it's a heavy-duty wrecker truck, not your run of the mill tow truck.
