I'm hoping they'll make a Masterpiece IronHide and Ratchet.
And an actual scale SoundWave that will hold real cassettes.
A 4-pack of Rumble & LaserBeak and their repaints, Frenzy & Buzzsaw.
I expect to see Soundwave eventually. They did Grimlock, which surprised me, I thought they'd make SW first.
Ratchet and Ironhide seem like good candidates too, since they would be great repaints of each other, and their original toys REALLY REALLY were lacking. That's a nice way of saying they sucked big time, compared to what they passed off as their animation models. I realize that the toys were designed first and not intended to be sentient robots, but I always wanted a great Ratchet/Ironhide that stuck to the cartoon designs, and we have yet to get them.
Yea, VW has been weird in the past allowing their licensing (after the first 80s toys, anyways) for VW/Porsche to be made into "war machine toys", but apparently money changes their minds. I too worried about not getting an MP Bumblebee or Jazz due to that issue (which is the story behind why we didn't get a VW Alternator Bumblebee or a Porsche Alternator Jazz) but they really shot that little excuse by allowing their Audi R8 to be in TF2.
Audi, Porsche and VW are all owned by Volkswagen, and apparently they've stopped caring about their cars being associated with fighting machines, because Michael Bay talked them into putting their car into the new blockbuster. If we don't get a proper BB or Jazz from here on out, I'll be severely disappointed in them for going back on their word when it works in their favor.
