I would be fine with non-Headmastered Transtector versions, but like Viola pointed out, with the Decepticons hewing so close to the originals, Minerva kind of sticks out (and I am perfectly happy with Legacy Minerva, don't get me wrong!)
Meanwhile, Cab/Hosehead is sitting in a corner, wondering...
Sorry, let me clarify:
If I could buy Goshooter for around regular Deluxe retail (probably less than $35), I would buy that one, but as prices currently stand? Gonna have to hope the brand team wants to take a crack at finishing the Autobot Headmaster Juniors to complete my set.
Horri-Bull: "Are you the Gatekeeper?"
Fangry: "Uh, I guess, sure? What gate are you talking about..."
Fits like it was my own head!
Purple's off a shade, but not bad!
Headmaster Juniors!
Fangry is getting another go-around next year, right? Just need updates for Goshooter (transtector, i do...
Wasn't there even an unused alternate head for the mold that showed up on the instructions?
Either way, it is a shame the mold was used so little, it really is glorious!
I got a couple, they were all blue in-package. I can't speak for all my samples, but Haywire3's definitely changes color to black with ice water and back to blue with hot tap water.
That said, the most recent samples I've seen in stores were a VERY DARK blue, not quite black. So, it's certainly...
If licensing wasn't an issue, I would be interested in newer altmodes like Alternators had. Not that complexity, but those vehicles mostly fit the characters pretty well.
Otherwise, I'd actually rather see Transformers with car and truck altmodes from the 50s and 60s.
The Deluxe Insecticons were not from Diaclone, but from a series called Beetras:

It would be cool to see the modern molds in their original Beetras colors, though I doubt those would be on the table for an actual release...
My nearest Target (25 miles away) only has Tiger Force Duke, but as of yesterday he was ringing up at $15 for some reason. If I can get over there and they still have some, I will see what I can do.
EDIT: looking like it will be Sunday before I can make the trek to the nearest Target, so hard to...
Oddly enough, I'm not as interested in Pythona and Big Lob as I am in Destro and Snake Eyes. For one, I'm really not trying to (re)build a Joe collection, so I'm not trying to be completionist. For two, snow Joes and Cobras are kind of my jam for various reasons, i already got Arctic Cobra...
I would love to see the Legends/Core Insecticons reissued in the clone colors; I have the Deluxe Insecticon versions of the Legacy Insecticons, but the Insecticon trio only in G1 reissue and Legends/Core class size, which I feel works better for the group.
It does seem kind of odd; Amalgamous' implementation seems to be stealing Nexus' shtick. It looks pretty cool, and certainly unique, but it makes a person wonder how Nexus will turn out?
My son: "Hello. My name is Haywire. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"
Me, doing my best James Earl Jones: "No, Haywire, I...am your father!"
My son: "No! That's not possible! If you were my father, you would be dead!"
....can't argue with that logic!
