Good list, those would make good BAFs, but I'd hate to see that idea in Generations because it would inevitably mean the actual figures would get cheaper/smaller to offset the cost.

I would say bump deluxes up to $25, to cover it. It's around what ML and DC Multiverse run, and deluxes will get there eventually.
By the time they do get there, we'll have run through most of the best BaFs.

Certainly an interesting idea. And they wouldn't necessarily need to be non-transforming BaFs - they could be partsforming weaponisers. Which would at least potentially give the included body part the ability to interact with the figure its sold with, rather than just hanging around like a spare part (since that'd be exactly what it was).

They could do a huge non-transforming Unicron.
Or Action Masters, Doc'!

Hmmmm, I may be wrong, but I don't think Doc' likes BAFs. Not sure though. He's very vague about it. I do wish he'd be clearer on such matters.

What's the beef with BAFs, guys? I liked the Marvel ones, when I had a couple of them. Heh, I remember once impulse buying an obscure DC character, 'Imperiex', one time off eBay, during my crazy impulsive buying days.

Ralph does not like having random lumps of shite he can't do anything with (and which contribute to the cost) packed in with his toys. Oh look, a leg. How fucking useless.

Oh. Well, I suppose if you're not planning on getting the entire series the it could be annoying.

While the weaponizers that we've gotten have failed to impress me (mostly due to bad QC and an inability to hold themselves together after being taken apart more than once), it makes me sad that Hasbro will never take them to their logical extremes.
Weaponizers that, while still being able to do random parts, have a specific intended configurationb like Leobreaker's Savage Claw mode.
More complex voyager Weaponizers intended to combine with Siege Magnus/Optimus, like God Bomber and Cybertron Wing Saber.
Reimagined Pretenders, with legend scaled robots w/simplistic transformation, while they have weaponizer armor that evokes the shell.
Actionmaster Vehicles that follow the Modulator's lead.
Micromaster Transports-
Roughstuff, Overload, Erector, and Flattop, sold as deluxes that come with trailers, that turn into powersuits/super modes for them.
Leader Class micromaster combiners-
Full team multipacks that come with weaponizer parts allowing them to combine.
Build Team-
Deluxe Weaponizer Wedge
Deluxe Weaponizer Grimlock
Deluxe Weaponizer Hightower
Deluxe Weaponizer Wideload
All capable of doing the normal weaponizer shlock, but also being able to assemble into Landfill.
On top of regular pan-generational homages like Armada Demolishor, Movie Scorponok, BW Transmutate, and eHobby Detritus.

Okay so it's starting to seem like hasbro is embracing the diaclone train, with "wfc" molds.
Most of the diaclones that became the autobot cars got police/emergency redecoes.
So I wanna see them embrace this, and create the Autotroopers.
Throw every existing police deco, like Clampdown, and Cordon as Autotroopers, then supplement the crew with new editions.
· Siege Galaxy Optimus as energon SWAT Checkpoint, the commander of the autotroopers
· Siege Mirage as e-SWAT Prowl, duel swat/mw prowl homage
· WFC Inferno as Artfire
· WFC Ratchet in movie green
· Whatever eventual WFC Skids, as the autotrooper troopbuilders
And some lip service stating that Regular Prowl and Artfire are former members, while Red Alert tried but was never admitted into the group.

You've got to wonder if Hasbro still have the remaining Powermasters and Targetmasters on their minds. Real shame they're not complete.

Post by Benn on Jun 28, 2020 15:07:47 GMT
Yeah. I can understand putting Getaway out there as he was a bit of thing thanks to the comics, but Crosshairs seems a tad random.
And yet, and yet, with the release of Doubledealer it's only Slapdash and Joyride who haven't had Generations updates from the Powermaster line. They have to be considering finishing the group, haven't they?

Post by Pinwig on Jun 28, 2020 15:19:33 GMT
You'd think so, but then we also only need Pointblank and Sureshot to finish the whole of the 87 Headmaster/Targetmaster line. In fact all 87 would be missing at all are the Throttlebots and Slugfest/Overkill.

There's honestly no existing toy that works as a base for Joyride.
They need a new mold, and I'm down for that.

Post by Benn on Jun 28, 2020 16:53:29 GMT
You could make a new mold that works for Joyride and Slapdash both. Close enough alt modes, same chest. Different heads and I think you could swing it.

Joyride- New Mold
Slapdash- Siege Mirage retool (new head and chest)
Getaway- ER Runamuck retool (new head) would polish off the powermasters nicely.
