Animated motormaster was already leaked to be coming out in wave 4 of United in october 2024 back in August last year.
Also I feel like we could maybe get Glyph out of the new Level A 86 Bumblebee coming out this year, or do what I actually want and give us an Animated cybertronian Bumblebee so we get animated Glyph and the other background characters who share that body
headswap of optimus prime almost 100%
That’s… literally what BotCon Motormaster was. He was just Animated Optimus with a new head.
Cybertronian Animated Bumblebee would be awesome!
After the origins figures for Bee, Jazz and Wheeljack I could see them doing Cybertronian versions of the characters, since I think outside of the comics or media set primarily on Cybertron, it has the highest concentration of cybertronian designs shown in both modes which are distinct from their earth designs.
Of them I'd say Optimus is the most likely, the Legacy figure takes inspiriation from the Deluxe figure, which shared engineering with the Cybertronian one.
Bumblebee I'd say is the second most likely, not only because it is basically a retooling goldmine, but because it's Bumblebee, and Bumblebees sell; I'm half surprised Legacy didn't include Prowl retooled into Prime Bumblebee.
We might get Prowl.
If we get a main animated Ratchet, I could see them doing Cybertronian Ratchet, since it would have 3 remolds, and a repaint of one of said remolds.
Outside of them, I believe Bulkhead, possibly Starscream, Megatron, Ultra Magnus and Sentinel, were all shown in their cybertronian designs in both forms.
It may be in 4 years though, for Animated's 20th.
@@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho you never know what crazy thing hasbro could do that makes no sense, imagine animated motormaster but it's the commander class mold.
We got Cloudcover and the other cancelled G2 color schemes. I don’t think any toy or character is considered as too obscure to do.
Know what BotCon I'd love to see? Springer Remolded again into Battletrap!
9:40 Runestone thought that with some clever re-skinning, this would make an interesting pre-mutant Icebird.
11:25 - 11:29 I believe Sideswipe's design was partially the basis for 90 - 95% of the Gobot/Spychanger toys (Netflix's Deep Cover is decoed in his blue color scheme).
15:38/15:40 She could be called Sillouette (her original name) to distinguish her from her Cyberverse incarnation.
11:53 my most wanted repaint right now. My boys in the discord and I would go nuts.
17:01 also they sold HARD not doing Magnus out of the laser prime. We know they should’ve, we know that they know that we know that they know they should’ve.
I too want that magnus, he rocks!
If they told me a Selects box with Shadow Striker and Roulette they would not be able to stop me from preordaining it fast enough!
I looked up the TF:GO! Thundertron.
OH BABY that looks good.
Go! deserves some more love, the idea was cool and they also turned Optimus into a dragon.
Also, THE Motormaster is slated in listings for the Animated Prime mold.
If we can get new toys of Ganoh, Kenzan and Jinbu in the Generations style (hopefully with enough Generationsification to fix their wonky proportions), I will be happy.
Then again, I’d also be happy with IDW Rodimus and Autobot Megatron figures in Generations.
@@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho Maybe Leader class, just for all the complexity and the kabutos, I think they were called?
Or would they fit Voyagers?
@@samurexatlas7373 They could work as really short Voyagers
I could have sworn there was a listing for Fractyl at some point. I’m personally looking forward to that Ferak toy. He’s the only BotCon figure I own and I’d love and update. Plus, that Cyclonus mold is just great. I’d also be down for Onyx Primal but only if they gave us a new bat Optimus Primal toy as Nyx.
me too. i think we were supposed to get a 2 pack in selects. then it just vanished.
I’d love to see dawn of futures past. The one with the pre beast maximals
We need a new Apelinq.
Already leaked for ss
@@purplewolfranger22 I mean an Apelinq based on his botcon toy
We still can’t even get a modern Buzzsaw from the Laserbeak mold.
Glyph and Tap-Out are definitely the most curious absence of all of these.
Fractyl and Packrat have been waiting in the wings (tee hee) since 2021. However, I’d like some minor retooling done to the Kingdom Terrorsaur mold for any future versions of it. Less floppy ankles, please!
My wild card idea would be Machine Wars Strika from Kingdom Warpath. She wore Generations Warpath’s mold surprisingly well and I’d love to see how those colors would look on a more G1 Warpath.
If we get a Catscan, I’m using him as Cataclysm.
Mixing the two versions Shadow Striker was actually a GREAT idea.
Alpha Trizer would be pretty cool.
It's great that we've gotten so many at retail/Selects in recent years:
Nacelle, Ferak, Antagony, BW Sandstorm/Scorpius, Flamewar, Bugbite, Toxitron, Red Wing to mention a few. We even got Heatwave from Hero Mashers a few years ago.
A few figures I'd like to see:
Leozack: Cybertron Starscream
Skyquake: Cybertron Starscream
Hooligan: Cybertron Starscream
Hellbat: Cybertron Starscream
Gaihawk: Cybertron Starscream
SG Thundercracker: Siege Seeker
Oilmaster (inner robot): Legacy Gears
I don't see Catscan being as unlikely as you suggest given the new BM Cheetor figure.
On a side note, I'd love to see the Legacy Laser Prime mold retooled as Powertrain and Ironworks. So tired of most Transformers trucks all looking Optimus Prime in robot mode.
Amusingly, I had the same idea of “Powertrain retooled from an Optimus Prime figure”… except my idea was of Beast Hunters upscaled Commander-to-Voyager Optimus Prime with a new head.
I also wanted the characters you listed from the cybertron starscream mold. I actually had started making customs from the original cybertron mold. Now I'm tempted to wait for the new mold.
Let’s go Glyph!
Since we are getting Big Convoy I really hope for Ultra Mammoth to be released too. The colours pop and its the best Beat Wars Ultra Magnus counterpart you could ask for.
I really want to get a Legacy Arcee and repaint it into Flare Up
Some of the more odd ball bot con stuff would be nice that and maybe combiner characters like tripredacus if we wanna get wild.
Although megazarak those colours on legacy megatron as a selects repaint that would be golden or the beast wars characters give them cybertronian modes from current figures also amazing
One botcon repaint I wanna see them do is shattered glass elita 1 with the new override mold and that purple shattered glass generations spec ops jazz repaint they did
6:12 I know Runestone thought so for his Feral Scream Collection.
"It's technically possible to get a Cat Scan but extremely unlikely" Ah yes the US Healthcare system
Ferak is just a name reuse. The toy Ferak doesn’t look like how he did in the Marvel US comic, nor does he resemble the generic nameless Decepticon from the UK comic in robot mode that they assigned to be Ferak.
20:17/20:23 What about all those OG Wheeljack recolors that fans made for BotCon affiliates Night Shining Inc. & Pete's Robocon?
Why haven’t they repainted core Rattrap?
Because there’s 6,000 of him in my Ollies for $2.99 and they still ain’t selling. No way Hasbro uses that mould again… 😅
Originally, Scorponox and Zarak was called Mega Zarak, and black Zarak was his power up.
Count me in as one who always freaks out about Alpha Trizer being Cheetor. I know that's accurate but Alpha Trizer could have just been a Maximal version of Alpha Trion, it's a weird of of no where reveal that he's actually Cheetor, and there's no indication that it is Cheetor outside of like ONE pannel at the end of his comic appearance.
Anyway... I honestly don't care about the weird 1 off BotCon characters. If they appeal to others that's great, I hope you get the figures you're after they just don't appeal to me personally.
There are some BotCon concepts however I'd like to see at retail that I didn't think we'd ever see till they started making Shattered Glass at retail. So take another crack at the Dawn of Future's Past set cause I'd love a chance to get some pre-BW toys with new molds that might look a bit more like the characters they're suppose to be. I never thought that Rattrap or Rhinox worked since they didn't get new head sculpts and the existing heads just did not work for those characters.
The Predacons really got the short end of the stick cause a lot of them didn't even match Cybertron's asthetic as they started pulling from random toy lines so I just think the BW characters deserve a second go around at retail.
I'm down for new update for Universe 2003 Megazarak
19:08 T know that mold as G2 Hooligan. G2 deserves more than just Laser Optimus Prime and Stunticon for representation.
I'm hoping we get something like dawn of future past
Tap Out is a name they should have applied to a Pretender. Big wrestler robot and a little one inside.
19:20 idk why but i'd like to see Ricochet as an extensive retool... of Studio Series BBM Blitzwing.
I’d love roulette & shadowstriker, megazarak, and windrazor!
20:23 Have they thought about doing some of BotCon's recent characters (from 2022 onwards)?
So far there's Leonicus & Minerva from Cheetor/Tigatron and Quickslinger from Terrorsaur.
While I know they have nothing to do with this video, I really want new versions of the Dawn of Futures Past figures. Or maybe redoes of Sideswipe and Cheetor from The Stunticon Job.
We already have a listing for Animated Universe Motormaster.
Great discussion! 🎉
PS. Still got the Timelines BotCon 2005 Ricochet originating from the G2 Hooligan/Jetfire mould, and he is mighty fine! (Definitely wouldn't mind a revisit if the right mould candidate came along)
BotCon 1994 NightRacer, either a Bumblebee Goldbug done in black and blue, or blue and gold, like the stealth bee, but it has to bne more like a muscle car toy than a VW bug. It's a Decepticon battle charger basically. The stealth bee from the Bay verse in 2008 was close, so I use one in my fan films, but also there is a Transformers Prime power up Blue Bumblebee that is also, a different timeline one.
Thundertron was also done with red highlights as a prime, hoping we got that one
Id be down for an Apelinq from Siege Apeface.
Maybe a Sentinel Maximus from Galaxy Upgrade Optimus.
But from your list specifically, I'd want the Virulent Clones
Night Racer as a sidwswipe also works.
What if the did boundroad pack rat and cryotek as a three pack call it cobalt creatures or something
Maybe Mega Zarak. Though TJ said it would be unlikely, Cat scan from the new core BM Cheetor.
I’m waiting for Fractyl and Packrat to get new toys because I think their decos are great.
Glyph and Tap Out would tops on my list even though I don't like how small and out of proportion the alt modes are.
I wish some 3rd party would do an OS KO of the ER Bee and Cliff moulds in Masterpiece scale.
Yes, I'm saying I want the mini-bot cars without the mini in them.
(Except Brawn. He works perfectly as a small Jeep as is.)
The studio series Noah Will do a nice Ricochet repaint
It’d be crazy to see, but every time I see the new thundertron I see potential for a repaint/retool of thunderhowl from cyberverse, I recently picked up the ultra class toy and I think it’s super unlikely but with the little bit of cyberverse we’ve seen in legacy so far I don’t think it’s impossible!
How about:
Darksyde Megatron from Doubledealer?
Shattered Glass Junkions?
Shattered Glass Ricochet from SS86 Jazz?
I'd like to see earthrise Starscream and studio series 86 Wreck-gar as both Leader-1 and Cykill from gobots
5:31 Really makes me wonder why it wasn't used as Chromia since that's what her Cyberverse & IDW versions are based on.
Personally, if we see another SG Optimus, I'd rather they just re-release the Earthrise version.
The amount of people who have no idea about shadow striker being from the old sideburn mold is astounding lol. They all act like there’s absolutely zero reason why she is a sideburn pretool in Legacy 😂
7:34/8:04 It was gonna be part of BotCon's 2017 lineup, but that never happened.
These are great but I want to see another combiner
new constructicon and aerial bot listings have been leaked
We had Fractyl as a minicon weapon
I'd take any and all beasts. I wanna collect them all.
Hope you're having a good day
5:55 Would Erial work as a repurposed or slightly recolored/retooled Energon: Arcee, especially since it was retooled from Flamewar.
Any of the Beasties. I always want more beast formers
In the video at the 2:56 Mark you said that the character Ratpack needs a new figure. I don't know if a person has said this in comments of this video but we did have a pervious Packrat figure in the 2015 Botcon set in which the theme was called Cybertron Most Wanted it was using the Transformers Generations thrilling 30th deluxe Rattrap mold. I can understand you may have forgotten that Botcon did a pervious Packrat figure because in peoples opinions it was the weakest Botcon set to come out. Keep up the great work TJ Omega.
I'd like them to do the shattered glass upgraded Optimus prime I'd grab that and the nightracer
I would buy Windrazor
17:50 - 17:53 What about his Leo Prime redeco?
I want Serpent OR!
9:21 Would Legacy: Skyquake work as their Cybertronian forms (going by Windrazor's Beast Wars: Uprising illustration)?
How about Sentinel Maximus and before the Cyclonus mold is retired Shattered Glass Cyclonus
A repaint I'd like to see of the new Rattrap... Ravage. But then a black rat with an obvious diseased look.
Wasn’t there a leaked Amazon 2-pack a few years ago that was supposed to include Fractyl? I swear I remember seeing something about it but can’t seem to find it.
Let's see How many of these we get revealed over the Next Few 40th Streams
I spotted a new editing Tiger Hawk in a Target last Thursday, but he was TINY! What is it with these downscale plastic toys? That thing was a Titan class toy today. It should be at least Leader class. The toy is barely Voyager class.
10:40 Isn't the ROTB toy kinda partially influenced by his BM design?
Very enjoyable video
Why not pitch these characters to hasbro like emailing them about these ideas
I would kill a man for a Glyph and Tapout box set
They need to make actual cars and trucks for the femmes. Stop with the bikes. Alita One, retool of Kup, Chromia, retool of a light blue green tank, Arcee is a retool of a convertible modern vette, Firestar (flamne out) should be a fire vehicle retool of Hoist, and Lancer a retool that looks like a McLaren, not as bike.
Decepticon femmes, Night Racer is a muscle car, a Camero or a Dodge Challenger, Slipstream is a small drone jet.
Who is Rick O'Shea? Is he an Irish character?
Fistitron? lol It's FISItron.
I'd much rather have the original Lightformer Ironfist.
They should've just released Legacy Shadow striker as the Botcon repaint, I would actually have bought her
Too bad the alt mode on the new Shadowstriker mould is hot garbage.
