Remember the Transformers x Street Fighter releases?
Well, picture this:
Transformers x Donkey Kong Country
The main two are obvious: Optimus Primal as Donkey Kong, and Rhinox as Rambi.
Beyond that, it gets a little trickier. Optimus Minor as Diddy Kong?

They dragged out the Terrorsaur mold during Age of Extinction, so it's not that farfetched.

Now I'm curious. What was the most recent use of a Transmetal 2 mold? Universe Frostbite?
Was there some statement given some years ago that the Transmetal 2 molds were gone/unusable for something?

No, we don't all know everything but we should spread and share that what we do know.
If I'm consistently misspelling a word, I would want and expect people to correct me as should I imagine all decent people who know the value of good literacy.
Its just arrogant laziness to know you're spelling a word incorrectly and not correct yourself or ignore the advice when people do tell you how to spell a word correctly.

Great minds and all that jazz:
A preliminary BotCon 2016 souvenir concept for Undermine aka Unit-3 from the BW2 Lio Convoy mold. He was actually dropped from the final proposal, but then the proposal got changed to Combiner Wars and he was added back in using the Streetwise mold. pic.twitter.com/ZCDbAaeMTA

I thought the Lio mold was gone, is this wrong?

I don't know one way or the other, but it wouldn't surprise me if pitchboards like that were made before any serious investigation into whether the tools were available, because there'd be no point to trying to track one down before you were sure you wanted to use it. It takes a lot less time to mock up a picture.

Plus, even if the original mold was lost, there was always the RobotMasters mold, which had even been used in the Legend Commander Collection as late as 2014.

Undermine might have been a more interesting mold choice, but I think conceptually I like him less than Unit-3, simply because he seems to "retcon" Under-3 into just being a simplified toy of a guy who "really" turns into a proper lion.

Yes I know it's broken. It's an HTTPS thing and I haven't gotten around to dealing with it yet.

I had a dream last night, and while I don't remember most of it, but the short version is I realize we need a glorious Iron Man-themed Devastator. Maybe all featuring Iron Man's iconic red and gold deco, or maybe just one in those colors and the rest sporting some of the other color schemes ol' Shellhead has worn over the years. Perhaps as an "Iron Legion" homage?
The slightly longer version is, with what I remember from the dream, I was suggesting it both as a toy deco and pitching the concept to Iron Man in a reality where all of his Marvel Crossover figures had been legitimate (and successful) armors. Trying to think of something "new," I spotted Mixmaster. Given how often Tony Stark is depicted as a former weapons manufacturer... seemed like a good fit. Oh, and somehow, this led to negotiations with the Constructicons, basically "stealing" them from the Decepticons, because G1 animated Megatron just didn't appreciate them. They basically got amnesty for past crimes, work that piqued their interest (from Stark), compensation for willingly sharing their schematics... while this new series of armors would be ready in months instead of years.
Note that my brain tends to get lazy when I dream, so it wasn't as impressive as it sounds. Most of that was just something I suddenly "understood" in the dream. XD
