I'd agree with Andy; I'd like to see a (maybe Voyager sized) Trailbreaker. And, obviously, we could also get a Hoist as well, so that's a mould worth investing in!
I think it's only him and Wheeljack of the 1984 Autobots (barring the mini-Autobots, of course) not yet Classicfied. (And no, I don't count that Energon version.) Mind you, if they did that Cybertron Wheeljackalike in white/black it would be a passable "Classic".

Henkei @ HLJThe Thundercracker is a limited edition toy sold to a certain company in Japan (ditto Skywarp) eBay or BBTS. But you'll be paying $60 + Owch. A little steep for my blood all things considered - especially given it is a mold I already have two of already. If there had been amendments to the mold, or it was a slightly larger scale it might be worth it. But that's a little too pricy for my blood. Acid Storm is the one with the odd F1/Vietnam era F-100'ish two-tone camo scheme I believe? It is an odd looking beast but the retro-colours are surprisingly nice on it. Karl |

I knew about the limited Thundercracker, but I could swear it was also getting a general release. Maybe that's the bit I imagined.

I very rarely buy a Transformers toy these days and if I do I like it to be no bigger than a deluxe so uber-selfishly I will suggest all of the following should be done at this size...
Shockwave (that unproduced titanium model makes me weep)
Arcee
Cosmos
Swoop
Scourge
Kup
Blurr
Mindwipe
Nightbeat
And really going out there for obscure characters, I'd love to see (but know we never will)...

Kup would probably end up being a repaint of Deluxe Animated Cybertronian Prime, surely?

We definitely need a Shockwave, and I second that there should be at least one citybot. I'd prefer to get Metroplex, although I could very easily go for a Fortress Maximus in the form of the current IDW design. I know Hasbro aren't big on doing citybots, but Fort Max could be a rolling battle station that could interact with the legends sized figures. Also, I love the Energon Scorponok so much that I would shell out the cash for a G1 style repaint.

Which toys would you most like to see remade in the current design aesthetics?
I'd like to see...
Universe Deluxe Jazz. (I normally want to see more obscure characters, but have a sudden hankering.)
Animated Ricochet, complete with an ickle transforming gun. (Now I'm asking for a repaint. What's wrong with me?)
Mighty Muggs Scorponok. This should have a new arm mould, but could probably get away with the Bumblebee head mould.
Masterpiece Warpath.
Masterpiece Cosmos.
Movie Wreck-Gar.

For ages I was wishing for Animated Cyclonus - but now we actually have that design. Whether it sees actual production toy-wise is another story.
Animated Sludge and Snarl (or Slag, depending on which Dino-name we're plumping for) - just to complete the set.
Universe Deluxe Scourge - to go along with my wee Cyclonus.
A decent Universe Galvatron.

GREAT THREAD!!!!! I love this sorta thing! Oooookay....
Classics/Universe JAZZ (come on, already!!!) -this is my biggest 'want'
Classics/Universe BLITZWING
Classics/Universe BRAWN -Delux sized if you please
Classics/Universe Frenzy and Rumble to fit into Cybertron Soundwave
Classics/Universe Shockwave, although I do love my Energon Shockwave
Classics/Universe SKIDS
I'm also comming round the the idea I'll never be happy 'till I have a complete 'Ark Crew' in Classics/Uni. So thats - WHEELJACK (Energon adequate for now), Trailbreaker, Gears, Windcharger (botcon Huffer is great), (& maybe the likes of Tracks, Graple and Hoist).
[note: my disapointment with Classics Ironhide has left a huge '?' over this area of my collection... I've a Ratchet on the way, despite myself...... ]
Classics/Uni INSTECTICONS: Shrapnel, Bombshell and Kickback.
A 6 piece, Delux and Voyager sized Classics/Uni CONSTRUCTICON set, that combine. Cartoon styling, if you please.
(You can see where I'm going with this...)
Also....
MASTERPIECE SOUNDWAVE - size of MP Megs, with 3 or 4 cassets (Frenzy, Rumble, Laserbeak)
MASTERPIECE SHOCKWAVE - size of MP Megs and Op. Gosh he'd look cool.
MASTERPIECE RATCHET & IRONHIDE - Alt/Binaltech size to fit in with existing Alts/BTs. Cartoon style.
MASTERPIECE BUMBLEBEE - Size to fit in with existing MP/Alts. ie small, bless 'im.
MASTERPIECE ASTROTRAIN & BLITZWING (asking alot)
(TITANIUM 6" SHOCKWAVE. TITANIUM 6" JAZZ (War Within Pref). TITANIUM 6" WHEELJACK (again War Within). - pipe dream, I know.)
AND FINALLY....
An Ultra Sized INFILTRATION STYLE MEGATRON!!!!! I love this version of Megs; my all time fave. Megatron shouldn't be a gun, he should be a Tank! Damn it!
I think the Classics Jazz, Classics Blitzwing, MP Soundwave, MP Shockwave and the Infiltration Styled Megatron are the high flyers here. Heh, you asked, Nige! And yeah, I think about this stuff alot.

My first choice would be Universe deluxe Shockwave. I know that a voyager would make more sense but for purely selfish reasons (I'm unlikely to buy bigger than a deluxe) this is the size I'd like. I look longingly at the unproduced Titanium mould!
Some basics-sized Universe toys would be nice. There could be a few recolours of previous basics (err, Cruellock as Overkill or somesuch) but ideally, I've always wanted a basic-sized War Within Ratbat. Wouldn't he be great?
I echo the call for a Universe Scorponok.
Universe Deluxe Bludgeon (IDW-style)
Universe Deluxe Nightbeat (IDW-style)
Once I would have put a G1-style Universe Arcee at the top of this list but I'm pretty pleased with the Animated toy we're getting, especially as it looks like she has some IDW design cues like the swords.

Edible?
As for my "please make" -
Pretenders.
But with better poseability and other upgrades. Basically - the whole Headmaster/Masterforce line but updated just like they did for G1 over the years.

Is a Universe Scorponok necessary ? Doesn't Energon/Superlink Scorps tick all the boxes ?

Some more non-US centric alt-modes would be nice. Another European airport fire engine like Pyro perhaps, or Stormcloud as a Rafale M or a Typhoon. A new Skids as a small hatchback (perhaps a Ka).

I just want an Impactor. Deluxe, voyager, whatever. Roadbuster has found a new lease of life as a Cybertron Defense Hot Shot repaint, but Whirl was just a repaint Legends figure and got rather short shrift. Okay, his colour scheme is flat sky blue so I can see why Hasbro weren't bending over backwards to slap it on a larger figure.
Rack and Ruin. There will never be toys of Rack and Ruin, although Animated Jetfire/Jetstorm could work if repainted with new heads- they're both wee jets like R&R were, they're practically identical apart from weapons and they link up. I wouldn't object to new moulds, though.

A while back I finally admitted to myself I'd only be happy when I have the entire '84 Autobots and Decepticons in Classics/Universe (with a few '85ers in there too to beef things up abit, partic' for the Decepticons, such as the 'Cone-Heads', Triple Changers, Constructicons).
Doing ok at the mo. Few massive holes to fill, but going ok. Generally recent Uni Classics have been excellent (bar Ironhide and Ratchet!).
Anyone else share this, I don't want to use the word obsession, but if the shoe fits....?
Largest holes in my opinion are:
Delux Jazz
Trailbreaker (delux)
6 X combing Constructicons (G1ick, delux and voyager sized to make a decently huge Devastator!)
Blitzwing (delux or voyager)
Many of the existing G1 homages fit in very well, me thinks, such as Cybertron Soundwave, Botcon Huffer, Energon Shockwave, Energon Wheeljack/Downshift.
Also, Legends Brawn is just too small to go alongside the other Classics/Universe figs. A delux version would be brilliant, if unlikely. (note how I haven't even mentioned that delux Strike Planes are too small, and I'd love voyager sized Strike Planes. And also note how I said Strike Planes and not Seekers.)

Shattered Glass Jazz is actually a pretty good Classics Jazz as long as you dont mind the evil decals.

I was going to say that. In fact you could probably remove them if you want to fork out for one. I havent looked at mine for ages so I cant remember how bad they are. Strongarm was planned as a botcon toy with a new head as Brawn which would have looked good. The same mould did get used without a new head as Outback.
TFW has dozens of people making Devastator customs (the ones that sometimes sell on ebay for crazy money) apparently they arent that hard to make, hardest part is just getting the toys and a Unicron for limb parts, the less you want to pay the harder to get.
Blitzwing if I wanted to do a Classic line up I think I'd just use Animated Bltzwing.
Trailbreaker I think people are using the Ratchet/Ironhide mould for customs I cant say I've really looked at them though.

When pictures of the Marvel crossover Transformers figures of Wolverine in X-Force colours first showed people talked about that being a good base for a Trailbreaker. |

Great ideas for Devastator! Yeah, I'd love a Botcon Jazz, but tooooo many Meatballs. I really do dislike the Uni Ratchet/Ironhide mold. Anyone know of a way to make the head sit up? So the fig isn't looking at his boots all the time? Drives me bonkers.

There is a head fix, again check TFW. I keep meaning ot do it but well it still wont make me really like the toy.
