I'd be fine with reissues that fix some of the more problematic elements.
Generations 2027: No More Primes! It is the Age of Evolution!

Nicely colored Transmetal reissues?
Maybe Slipstream
Maybe Energon Skorponok
Definitely Thunderwing
Maybe Rook
Maybe Scoop
Maybe Slash
As someone who's trying to limit himself to "G1 that they havnt done well yet or is much improved." theres not a lot for me in these leaks yet.
-ZacWilliam, but given modern prices maybe that's a blessing.

This. I am not 100% certain, but my increasingly-failing memory wants to tell me ("he tell me!") that there was a mod or hack, in-period, that managed to rotate his kibble around. Not sure if it was still transformable, but I believe there were at least...attempts.
*Edit: Alright, there's at least this: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/transmetal-rattrap-robot-mode-action-figure.952306/ However, it was 2013 and not capable of transformation.
G2 Megatron, TM Megatron, and Thunderwing are must gets for me. The others I am going to wait and see on.
For me it's G2 Megatron, Slipstream, probably Lugnut, Thunderwing, and most of that capsule. Waiting to see how Nightbird is and who Collapse is.
I'd rather they prioritize feet that don't suck. That toy faceplants all the time because of those awful ankles.
Well, he's being made in the era of "this has pinned ankle rocker things, but the feet are big planks", so it may be a mixed bag of an experience.
Speculated to be another one of Nexus Prime's limbs, possibly a renamed Landquake.
And comes with his gun.
And bombs.
And can use his wheels as a shield.
Y'know, thinking on it, in most cases I kind of associate the Transmetal versions of most characters as the "main" or "real" versions of those characters in my mind.
Optimus a little less so, but definitely on Cheetor, Rattrap, Megatron, and Tarantulas.
I'm hoping they just decided to give other lines some spotlight after Kingdom for the reason we didn't get Transmetals (other than a couple), and not because they believe that they have to use vac metal or else.
You joke but if I could get roughly in-scale
Show design BM Jetstorm
Botanica
Nightscream
and BM Silverbolt
that'd be a BUNCH of toys off my most wanted list.
-ZacWilliam, Other than the small 88 Autobot Headmasters and like Beet Papil I'm not sure there's anything I want more.
I mean, it makes sense if we're talking about stuff that NEEDS a proper updating.
I'd love a new Silverbolt and a new Beast Changer/Savage Noble, and a better Tankor. New Strika and Obsidian. A Primal that isn't huge. A Botanica, after all this time.

It's a shame the toy-only characters will never get new toys, because Beast Machines had some great stuff.
I will never forgive myself for not picking up Universe Blastcharge before it got expensive. I appreciate BM Blastcharge but mine is an absolute glitter bomb these days so I don't like touching it.

Give me a Leader-class Tankor.
Monkey paw curls; it's the Fallen with a new head.

I mean... we would all take it, wouldn't we.
I'd pass on it unless they gave him the toy's giant clobberin' arms.
