So, what's left in terms of recognizable vehicles? The A Team van, & the Batmobile? The Simpsons car/The Homer?

FedEx is probably the one I've had the most issues with personally. Customer service is a huge pain in the ass that makes doing simple things near impossible.
I've never had a problem with DHL myself.
UPS? I've had some issues with UPS... but simple things that are a pain in the ass with FedEx are marginally less irritating with UPS.
USPS? Look... I'm Canadian. USPS can be annoying and frustrating at times, but it's a G-dsend compared to Canada Post.
Amazon is utterly baffling. I live in an apartment building with delivery lockers. Sometimes Amazon delivery uses them no problem. Other times they just leave the packages on the floor for security to find and I get a text telling me to pick it up at the front desk. At least once Amazon delivered it to a locker but entered the wrong locker number so the automated text I got was incorrect and security had to CSI the security tape of the guy delivering the package to figure out what locker he put it in.
Thing is Amazon, AFAIK, sometimes uses freelance people. Basically the UberEats or Door Dash model. So I can't blame them entirely if someone comes across an unfamiliar delivery system and doesn't know what to do. FedEx though? This is your entire job. Please get better at it.

Got a link to that? It gives me an idea...
The Orca was rumored a few years ago. That might have been interesting.
Maybe they could branch out into generic crossovers that don't require any licensing deals with anybody. Like the classic generic rocketship, with a robot mode armed with a generic ray gun. Immediately recognizable but completely nonspecific at the same time.
Iirc it got eaten by the big crash. But I've got the goods.
Well I ordered the Blaster JEM set.
Really want an Airwolf Transformer. She should be a Transformer.
Also, a KARR version of the Knight Rider crossover. If they don't do that, it's a huge missed opportunity for a Peter Cullen reference that isn't Optimus.
I want a Kamen Rider that turns into his bike but that’d be in Takara’s ballpark and after their Godzilla, we’d probably get Legacy Prowl in green.

I wonder if hasbro has toy devs trawling forums like this for ideas...
Sadly, it seems to be have been lost in the crash. The crash happened right after that went up. It is almost like Hasbro was trying to erase it so people wouldn't know where all their ideas came from......
That is a pretty good list. Maybe the Akira motorcycle, Smokey and the bandit Firebird, and the USS Enterprise.
So... am I the only one that would happily buy a line of star trek transformer titans? Or even just something like the gijoe transformers?
(is still salty at not getting mobaprime.)
There are at least two of us!
I would love an Enterprise, Enterprise A, Enterprise D, Enterprise E, or Enterprise G that transforms into a cool robot.
Other than the Titan bit. I don't have the space or budget to collect a bunch of Titan-class Transformers. Even Fortress Tiberious, despite my fondness for Animated Trek, would probably be something I would have to admire from afar.
But, a series of Deluxe or Voyager (V-ger?) scaled figures based on Trek ships would absolutely be in my wheelhouse!
Also, I know I am in the minority on this, but I would really love to see a lot of the Collab figures revisited at Core or Legion scale. I collect Hot Wheels movie and TV vehicles, it would be cool to have Transformers in a similar scale.
If we don't get a Voyager class USS Voyager from Voyager, what's this all been about?
(The main elongated disc part would actually be fairly doable with T30/TR Cosmos' transformation, and the rest can accordion down into backpack thrusters or shoulder cannons, or split up into weapons or something.)

The odd thing is I was really looking at Mach 5 possibilities (mostly for my Monster City diorama as a casualty). I've looked at everything from Jada to model kits, hadn't bought anything yet. If the future Transformer actually turns into that and looks well done, I may go for it instead. Scale doesn't mean much for me, I can get around any of that with camera angle. And since it will most likely be deluxe or at most Voyager, it will scale perfectly with Kup, who will be photographed poking the Mach 5's previously unknown pet goat with a stick. Triple duty, it can be the Mach 5, a diorama set piece, and he can set it up to goad Speed Racer's goats.
Also, I know there is a certain amount of baggage that would need to be addressed, but a list of 80s vehicles that ought to cross over with Transformers isn't really complete without The Dukes Of Hazzard. The General Lee is fairly iconic even without the original flag on the roof, and I have long wished we could see a Barricade reimagining as Roscoe's Sheriff's cruiser.
