We *are* due for some kind of Alternators homage, aren't we? Car Grimlock, Decepticharge... the possibilities are limited!

I want a Decepticharge and an Arcee out of the Studio Series Windcharger mold. And an improved retool, or just an entirely new Tracks mold, that can be used for Yellow Tracks and Loudpedal (give the latter a Ravage alternate head or something).
And at this point just make a new Cybertron Downshift that can be redecoed and retooled into Alternators Wheeljack and Grimlock.

I know, I haven't done one of these in a while.
It's kinda cheating since it's not strictly Alternators but I would love a deep red Rodimus with white stripes.
I've wanted another take on that design (especially since the GT is incredibly sexy, and IDW also gave him hood/bumper shoulders for a while) since then, something more mainline scale and avoiding the flaws of that mold. Never would've expected we'd get more and more G1-focused takes first.
But the red Twin Mill should be an interesting distraction for now...

Omnibots first, thanks.
We already got the Powerdashers, I feel like the bar for obscurity is pretty low now.
The Target exclusive red Twin Mill has a lot of that energy.
Well, yes. IIRC they're the oldest TF toys/characters that haven't really been redone.
*Technically* Camshaft and Overdrive have been, but IMO INO (lol), and Downshift sure hasn't.
AND ANOTHER THING as a team, they should all be done within a short timeframe and with a consistent design philosophy (for lack of a better term).
Arguably, the Powerdashers need new molds to be done "properly," but I'm too happy with what we got to get worked up about it.
Sure, but the fact that we got homages to guys so obscure that they didn't even have official names is still pretty striking.
Funny enough, two out of the three could make for a twofer... but only technically, and perhaps not as satisfyingly.
Yes. We need the Omnibots, and they need plenty of 5mm ports so they can use the Powerdashers.
I don't mind the Powerdashers not having their own molds. I think they work well as Weaponizers. Reinforcements from Cybertron now means oodles of weapons. It's a good fit. Not that I wouldn't buy a more accurate set too, but I'm more than happy to have what I have, and it's still crazy that Hasbro managed to complete the set faster than they've ever managed to complete the Seeker or Datsun trios in any modern line.

I would absolutely make this a Pulse exclusive or something.
That light tealish blue is so pleasing.
Yeah. For some reason I gave up on the original blue and aimed for a more Chogokin kind of blue. I don't remember why.
Because it makes it look more like the Courageous that we remember rather than the Courageous that actually was.
