I did not know that; Spinister's a pretty good mold, and the color layouts would lend themselves to Cop-Tur's own layout. I would definitely hope for a head remold and a new weapon to replicate his original rotor blade if Hasbro were to go that route, but Spinister is a great option!

Definitely wouldn't mind a Bug Bite that looks closer to a VW Bug. Another poster mentioned Cop-Tur from Siege Springer; while I can't think of a current mold that would be a better fit, I'd rather any Cop-Tur had a rotor with at least 4 blades to better match the original's signature weapon...

Between KARR being a relatively easy redeco of KITT and being voiced by Peter Cullen, this only makes sense for a future Transformer figure. The only hurdles I could see would be the licensing costs and possibly a new voice chip?

I really like these ideas, but I agree, it kind of derails the thread. How about we move this discussion to the Gobot thread? https://www.allspark.com/forums/threads/gobots-and-machine-robo-news-discussion.620/page-5

So, now that we got the Legacy Gobots 3-pack, what other Gobot-based decos and retools would you like to see on Legacy molds? I would like Throttle or Dart from the Animated Prowl mold: https://tfu.info/Gobots/Guardians/Throttle/throttle.htm https://tfu.info/Gobots/Renegades/Dart/dart.htm

You know, making a Transformers Legacy line is kind of a fine-line balance, isn't it? Modern toy engineering CAN improve on figures from G1 and early G2 (but that doesn't automatically mean that it does), but from Beast Wars onwards, the improvements generally tend to be less drastic, and often...

Some of the Machine Robo figures that didn't make it to Gobots, like Apollo Robo and Mini Cooper Robo were pretty cool and unusual, too. Also, looking at some of the unproduced designs, if they'd kept releasing those as Gobots, the line would have been wild!

Weird Association Wednesday: after reading the news about the planned RotB sequel/GI Joe crossover, I had the following thoughts: Crossover HISS Megatron as the Septic Tank: https://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/91/septictank/ Or the GI Joe Chimera (didn't realize this was a thing that existed)...

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one, until all are one, then they are one and the same?

Obviously, it's an Arc Reactor.

While we're tossing out obscure vehicles, how about the cars from the Pole Position cartoon, Wheels and Roadie?

There's things that the Deluxe/Voyager/Leader size classes do really well. One of those is the potential for remolding far exceeding what is feasible at the Core/Legend/Legion scale; not saying it's impossible (Core Ironhide and Ratchet proved that, though I'm sure that was planned into the mold...

If we're talking Legacy, this is why some form of Core/Legends/Legion class should continue: How many generations of Transformers and Transformer-adjacent lines can you find represented?

1985, it seems: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/monogram-6108-turbo-teen--538613

FWIW, to me the biggest draw of the Core class was getting TF figures roughly in scale with the small Gobots figures. Granted, we've gotten more Gobots homages at Deluxe than I ever imagined we would, but I've always figured it would be easier to get Transformers that scaled with Gobots rather...

The French don't say anything, they're just rude like that...

I got my Bootlegs from Shopko! And liked it. (Also Big Lots, mayyyybe KB Toys, and once at Walmart) Sure, they were cheap, but they were fun!

I've said it before, I will say it again (over and over): Sell two or three Core-size figures at the Deluxe or Voyager price point as Versus Packs. Gives kids (or kids at heart) instant play options right out of the box, minimizes multiple size points in an increasingly competitive shelf area...

Also, they remolded the head on Ectotron when it was re-released, if Agent Knight gets a KARR redeco and reissue, and it DOESN'T have an Optimus Prime-like head, someone at Hasbro is missing the point...

Agent Knight is a must-own, and I had Sgt. Slaughter and the Triple T Tank as a kid, so that Kup is also a high-want for me. Now, we just need A-Team and Airwolf crossovers. Mr V and The Lady deserve to be Transformers, too!
