That striped Sunstreaker still looks so good.
We really need a Misfire reissue. But we’ll prob get Wheeljack instead.
Kinda would like a Crosshairs redux with his Targetmaster buddy. Also, an actual Targetmaster Blurr with Haywire. But, yeah, Misfire could use another run
And Twin Twist, while we're at it. The late-wave guys always get boned.
It would be nice for a new round of Retros that bring in the other Targetmasters, Jumpstarters, etc. Twin Twist and Topspin could even go carded now that that line has that kind of packaging.
If anyone needs a new run, but with some changes, it's Mindwipe. I'd be fine with the same figure overall as long as they redo the wings so they don't need to be made out of corrosive bubble gum. Skullsmasher/Skullcruncher maybe next, because that dumb back flap seems to need it even less but at least it isn't as pervasive and dire as Mindwipe's situation.

i wouldn't mind Mindwipe's beast mode head to be remolded so that it can look forward and not perpetually looking down.
Since I dug them out to take a picture for another thread...
Not pictured: DX9 Speedoo, Armada Blurr, RiD15 Legion Blurr, and Minicon Incinerator that I couldn't put my hands on immediately and 2 or 3 Rescue Bots Blurrs that are
Also also, I am realizing that, while there have been a relatively adequate number of Blurr releases over the years, there have been a woefully inadequate number of Haywire releases to complement him...
Oh, sure, I post up a Svengoolie idea and it's off-topic, but someone posts their newest Bigfoot photo and somehow that's just fine...
But yeah, I get the idea of the younger generation sometimes goofing up a photo idea by 'borrowing' the bot and then maybe remembering to return it, but on the other hand, a kid playing with toys is a great thing in this digital day and age, I'd call it 'adequate trade-off'!

I was at my nephews and he was watching DVD's. I'll give you a hint on which one.

Took me a second to pick out the TF in that picture. In my defense, he was wearing a mask . . .
Thinking about the retro cards - they're fun, and I do have some carded TFs and Hot Wheels on the wall in my study - but I really liked the boxed titanmaster/headmaster reissues.
I don't have the shelf space, but it'd be fun to have him out in front of his box like this. (Right now that's reserved for Pepsi Optimus and a couple other guys.)
I really liked these, though. I didn't know they were releasing them, so it was fun to just stumble across them in Walmart. The back of the box was cool, too - tech specs were multi-lingual and abbreviated compared to what used to be there, but it was still fun to have those and the battle scene.
So - the cards work, especially when the original was a mini-bot, but it'd be cool to see retro/revised boxes like these again, too.
Don't worry, Mysterious Prime will show up soon and pull it off.
Caption this photo.
