I think they'd rake it in personally, if they made a multi-pack ala the K-mart Minicons but featuring updated cassetticons/bots! I'd have to say I'd be all over it!

One of my dream projects is making a set of casstticons that were modernized, and also all combined into a larger Gestalt warrior. I even have some rough drawings and a fan fic started to support the idea!

Smokescreen GT · 11-26-2008, 07:23 PM

That's a good list, trebleshot. I'd get all of them if Hasbro made 'em. Do you think Jazz should be a repaint of the Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen mold or an entirely new one? I think a new mold is preferrable, but Hasbro would probably go the repaint route.

I'd also add in the rest of the Dinobots, as well, especially Sludge and Snarl (the stegosaurus). But I'd also like to see Classics versions of Slag and Swoop, too.

trebleshot · 11-26-2008, 07:39 PM

I'd prefer if Jazz got a new mold based partially on his Legends figure, but I would understand if they remold Prowl/Streak/Screen.

And I'd love to see the remaining Dinobots made for both Animated and Universe, but I would be happy with Sludge and Snarl for Universe first. They could even release the G2 colors as redecos.

EDIT: Since they did a redeco of Grimlock as Overkill, they could do a new mold for Snarl (the stego) and a redeco into Slugfest.

Screwed up knees again?

My Energon version was fine, so I hope I'll have the same luck when I pick up Universe Superion.

trebleshot · 11-26-2008, 10:28 PM

Hard to say, though anything is possible. Especially since MP Magnus was reissued recently.

trebleshot · 11-26-2008, 10:52 PM

Ok, not that anyone can really give a definitive answer to this question. It's really subjective and leads into how we count our collections.

Ams from TFW had a good ballpark for this question at 3500-4000, which for me seems to cover everything in and out of the US.

Anyone here have any thoughts on the matter?

Shin Densetsu · 11-26-2008, 11:17 PM

-New mold Soundwave with a new tape, and compatible with the new Ravage that is coming out w/Hound. Make the tapes available via minicon sets, heck make the counterparts Blaster's tapes.
-Wheeljack
-Jazz
-Powermaster Prime
-Ultra Magnus
-Predaking
-Broadside
-Sandblaster
-Springer
-Computron

big hank · 11-27-2008, 12:03 AM

Dare to dream, Shin!

I would be so broke if they made your list!

Smokescreen GT · 11-27-2008, 08:27 AM

I'll have to pay close attention when I find one of these sets in stores. I usually look closely for good paint apps when buying TFs, but I'll look for this issue as well. Thanks for the heads up.

Dark Ramjet · 11-27-2008, 09:35 AM

I really like Shin's list but I would also like to see Rodimus Prime and Scourge. New molds not plastic copies of the titanium ones.

Smokescreen GT · 11-27-2008, 12:24 PM

It'll depend on the character. I may pick up the silver Megatron since they never did a BT/Alt. version of him. I'm sorta on the fence about Prime, though.

Optimus Scourge · 11-27-2008, 12:33 PM

No, I can't afford it, they are very nice, though.

plowking · 11-27-2008, 01:41 PM

I'm waiting to see what the Megs looks like, then I will make a decision on to buy or not to buy.

deceptifocus · 11-27-2008, 02:01 PM

i really want them, but i bet theyll end up costing as much or more as BTs when theyre released, like how the BTs went up to $60 in box, and im not sure the size is worth it.

I remember when we were discussing the first movie toys here on Toyark--

Wait a second. :lol

I would love to see Wheeljack as well. To me is a great character, being unique in his look. I always kind of wanted the original version, then I look at his legs and wonder what I was thinking. Wheeljack is cool though, with his wacky light up ear-things.

Smokescreen GT · 11-28-2008, 06:40 AM

1984-1991 is what I consider to be G1's era.
