G1 Transformers figure updates we need!

[@Zenkaiser]

funny that you have powerglide, seaspray, and windcharger lined up in the thumbnail cuz I was literally just thinking earlier today that I want new generations toys of them lol

[@franzise3605]

Fwiw Goldbug isn't the only Throttlebot who's had an update; Chase was in Titans Return, though they called him Roadburn there, probably to avoid confusing him with the Chase from Rescue Bots

[@RPO808]

What he said. Roadburn=Chase

[@TF80s]

But he had no hood so we still need an undated version.

[@Brickerbrack]

@@TF80s Also, he was a Legends class, so he's tiny compared to his compatriots.

[@codytriffo]

Definitely want Windcharger, Powerglide, Seaspray, Ramhorn, G1 cartoon recolour of Rewind from the Twincast pack and the G1 Female Autobots Chromia, Firestar, Moonracer, Greenlight and Lancer. As well as the Constructicons, the Aerialbots, the Protectobots and the Combaticons. And a G1 Ratbat from the 1986 movie.

[@DragoonMS]

Interesting list, but...do you not remember that Power of the Primes Windcharger that they retooled into Tailgate??? Granted, those two can use the "tiny Deluxe" treatment, but it worries me that Hasbro's design & engineering teams could screw it up like they did with the Earthrise Cliffjumper mold.

[@loganmorales5568]

Considering how good Brawn & Gears were (being the most recent minibots) i’d expect Powerglide, Seaspray, & Windcharger, along with Tailgate, Swerve, & Outback

[@mitchellbambam5926]

I think we need a new Bumblebee and Cliffjumper as well. Preferably one that doesn’t have 1/3 of the alt mode as a useless extra piece.

[@dinoguy163]

86 studio series bee is there

[@mortelpaolo]

G1 accurate Elita, Moonracer, Greenlight, and Lancer, for both hot and alt modes, are easy Blurr retools (considering what they did with Devcon), while Chromia and Novastar/Firestar are easy Kup retools. There are even digibashes of that.

[@codytriffo]

I want all of the Female Autobots from Season 2, Elita-One, Firestar, Moonracer, Chromia, Greenlight and Lancer.

[@RetroRobotRadio]

I would love to see them release a red VW Beetle as a new character. Call him Stinger or something. Meanwhile a yellow Cluffjumper, as a new character. We had these toys in G1 after all!

[@cuddyfox6973]

Talking about G1 cassettes, They should reissue Nightstalker and Stripes. They only came with Twincast and that was in the 80s. Stripes was suppose to be in the movie, before he was recast.

[@Sonny90091]

I expect the studio series 86 PROWL without damage

[@codytriffo]

Me too

[@MST2312]

Y'all do realize that's just the Earthrise Prowl

[@kerry1979]

@@MST2312 Exactly so Earthrise prowl counts. Already been done.

[@StoobsPitt]

A new g1 Metroplex would be interesting if it happens because we haven't had new molds for any character that's been made at titan or commander class. Excluding the rumoured 86 Devastator as a combiner is a unique case

[@RetroRobotRadio]

Thinking in the opposite of direction I would design a body who could be several characters. For instance... a Deluxe size dump truck with several head and weapon options could be released Targetmaster Landfill, Energon Demolisher and Throttlebot Wideload.

[@superjoe37]

Swerve and Tailgate got some love in the IDW comics. There will always be room for them on my shelf.

[@reedy9333]

Yeah, but octane goes from an 18 Wheeler to a 747.That's ridiculous too

[@Wchapel88]

If Hasbro took The Deadeye Duel 2-Pack of Kaskade and Javelin. Give them new heads, rebuild, remake, remold, repaint, and or retool how ever you wanna say it. You could have two of the Technobots of Lightspeed and Afterburner. Thank you for a great video.

[@JasonX0659]

I'm typing this from the future where the new Legacy United Soundwave has been announced and he comes with Ravage, Buzzsaw, and SS86 Rumble in his toy colors!

[@Gregory11811]

Oooh, maybe a new Metroplex could combine with the combiner limbs and torsos like the G1 version did.

[@TF80s]

I've always believed Hasbro have their toes in those toy filler companies...I refuse to fork out for any extra pieces for deliberately incomplete toys that I've already paid a fortune for.

[@Peshi80]

FYI: Overkill had a Classics repaint of Grimlock that were exclusive to Ross. Still have mine.

[@codytriffo]

The Season 3 Autobots are Metroplex with Six-Gun, Slammer and Scamper, Broadside, the Technobots, and Throttlebots (Rollbar, Chase, Freeway, Wideload and Searchlight). The Season 3 Decepticons are Trypticon, the Predacons, Octane, Overkill, Slugfest and the Terrorcons. The Season 4 Autobots are Fortress Maximus, Chromedome, Hardhead, Brainstorm, Highbrow and a new Crosshairs. The Season 4 Decepticons are Weirdwolf, Skullcruncher, Mindwipe, Slugslinger, Misfire, Triggerhappy, Sixshot and updated versions of Apeface and Snapdragon. I wouldn't mind the Headmasters Japanese Cartoon characters like the Trainbots, the Monsterbots and the Duocons.

[@JRJohnson1701]

Mindwipe in my opinion needs retooling to make his transformation more G1. I'd like there to be an option for their Japanese and US faces on the heads, where they differ. Hardhead needs the face retooled to be less stylized if he's going to represent G1. The headmasters do need some filling in of their hollow parts though. The Squeezeplay coming up is slightly disappointing in that the arms don't form the back shell of the crab monster. If we can get a good Horri-Bull update that would be awesome since his original figure is so ridiculously expensive, and get a new Siren, Hosehead, and Nightbeat too. Throttlebots, easily Runabout remolds for most of them, though I'm hoping no fake chests if possible, and Chase and Freeway should have different car fronts (Runabout and Runamuck had exactly the same car mode, sadly.). I'd like the Clones to be redone, taller, about Sideswipe size. Outback will need some retooling since the door wings on his arms use the car mode parts, and his arms are different from Brawn's in the cartoon. Windcharger/Swerve would be an easier repaint set. There should be a Go-Bots set with repaints for Cosmos, Gears, Warpath, Bumblebee, and Powerglide. (we have Road Ranger already). I'd love to see Targetmasters done properly, and the Powermasters too. Bumblebee and Cliffjumper, though, (and Hubcap and Bumper) I would like retooled so you don't have to turn him around and have the car roof upside down - that's not very G1. Deluxe Autobots would be a nice companion to the Deluxe Insecticons we're getting. We do need Constructicons, though I sincerely hope they will be more toy-accurate (ahem, Mixmaster), and better articulated than the combiner wars version, especially Long Haul. There's even two G2 repaint options - yellow and orange. Triple changer Broadside and an SS86 Springer would be great to see coming up, with an option for different faces for Broadside, and a better Octane than the Titans Return version would be really nice. I'd like to see the Monsterbots redone so they're not headmasters, and even if they don't have the cold sparks, I'd be fine with it. That and the triggerbots/cons and Sparkabots/Firecons would be great. Slugfest and Overkill need updated modes too. Out of all the figures, I'd want Powermaster Prime with his Apex Armor the most. That was my absolute top present as a kid, and while I'm glad there's an MP coming out, I want a version that will be in scale to the upcoming SS86 Prime. Second would be a G2 Prime repaint, damaged prime (with replaceable arm and head to simulate the end of Dark Awakening where he's damaged, and a white Magnus repaint so we have the inner Magnus robot finally.

[@soundblaster1987reviews]

We have a Knight Rider crossover coming up, and KITT is the same model of car as Windcharger. A new Seaspray could provide potential for a Shattered Glass Octopunch, and a new Powerglide will complete the eHobby Gobots repaints as well as providing a new COBRA Rattler crossover.

[@EPICJ0HN]

Metroplex was actually based on the titans return KZbin show made by Machinima. FOC design had a much wider torso. Great video guys keep it up!

[@mrsamaritan6881]

Actually you've got it backwards. That KZbin show made by Machinima based their Metroplex on the Titan-class one.

[@EPICJ0HN]

@@mrsamaritan6881 so you’re saying they made a metroplex figure based on FOC but decided to make him look nothing like his in game counterpart. Then took that figure design and decided to make a cartoon where that is the design?

[@mrsamaritan6881]

@@EPICJ0HN the Titan-class Metroplex came out in 2013. The Machinima series came out in 2016. Since it came out THREE years before the cartoon, OBVIOUSLY its not based of the then not-existing cartoon. However, the Titan-class Metroplex IS based off the WfC/FoC design, which is closely resembles but it's not a prefect replica.

Deluxe PowerGlide as a PLANE and not warthog would be fantastic. They could even slightly remold it into the Cobra Decepticon warthog crossover.

[@kerry1979]

They did already Viper was his name with a New face plate. I have both of them Even g2 powerglide from box set.

[@davidm4566]

@@kerry1979 They redo characters all the time, though. I wasn't really wanting a Viper, just saying that one of the reasons they haven't made another PowerGlide and/or a good version (my stepson had the CW version and it wasn't very good in my opinion) in a long time is because they pretty much have to be able to make repaints and remolds now or they don't' make the figure. I was saying that there was potential to do a remold, so they can do this figure. And G2 means they could have at LEAST 2 other figures come out of the same basic mold so they can definitely do a PowerGlide.

I have the Unite warriors COmputron & defensor & I am fine with those. As with metroplex No need for a actual update of him. What I would like is A Titan class broadside. They can Add windcharger to Studio series & My thought too. Runamuch Mold for throttle bots. & Make a couple new molds. Wideload should be a voyager or a retool of trashmaster, Trashmaster would be good for wideload. Maybe Brawn can be retooled into Rollbar. I am fine too with the female bots. What we really, Really need is. Complete Updates of all three Autobot powermasters, Quickmix & Landfill. Hasbro is doing the triggercons. Why not triggerbots?

[@RetroRobotRadio]

I want to see Leader Class Marvel Comics Scorponok and Fortress Maximus. Neither were city sized in the comics.

[@sidearmsalpha]

I just want those 3 mini bots and then I'm pretty much done with mainline. I feel like Hasbro won't really do much better for all their G1 characters unless they raise them to the next class size. And if they still make them gappy and waffled with a lack of accessories, they won't be worth it. They set the bar high with Siege Jetfire and a few others but rarely hit that mark. Even now, with all the mainline figures I have, I'm going to have to invest in upgrade and filler kits to make them better, things that Hasbro could have done at their current price points or maybe a few bucks more for larger accessories or larger figures that need more plastic.

[@mwg500]

Fort Max is the main one I want updated. He deserves better than a Metroplex remold. As for non-show characters, it is time for another Straxus. He should be a simple Galvatron remold. And we are due for a new Thunderwing. He can ignore the "pretender" gimmick as long as both the large and small robots are included and can transform and both jets connect (and he has all the weapons).

[@RetroRobotRadio]

I don’t see why Hasbro couldn’t do a Studio Series 86 Metroplex. He appears in the movie as a main set piece although only in his alt mode, but we got a Snarl and he was in a total of six frames in the whole movie? So, Metroplex is a no brainer titan class figure for Studio Series 86 line.

[@mrsamaritan6881]

Well, its Autobot City that appears in the movie, which Metroplex is technically part of, but he's more like inside it and the city is like "armor" for him in base mode. Hense Metroplex doesn't actually appear in the movie.

[@RPO808]

@@mrsamaritan6881 oh! Okay, so those couple of frames of Snarl in alt mode is okay to green light a figure, but you’re saying that the ENTIRE battle of Autobot City, NONE of it in the least is even a small portion of Metroplex himself in city mode? 100% positive we only see his “armor” in the movie? Seems legit.

Combiners are too expensive now. They were expensive during Combiner Wars & Power Of The Primes but now with the price hikes & a Commander Class body it's just too much. Collecting all the Combiner Wars combiners was overly expensive & extremely difficult. Especially near the end. And if you also tried to get the Unite Warriors.
