The Want List

Last Update 18/11/25

Here's where I keep a track of TransFormers toys and Third Party bits and bobs that I'm interested in laying my hands on... Just a simple list, but hopefully it'll document a few cool purchases... I also keep an Amazon wish list featuring some of these items but, while I know this sort of thing happens for some bloggers (and particularly YouTubers), in all good conscience, I neither expect nor suggest anyone buy these for me (other than, perhaps, close friends and family, for birthday or Christmas presents). It's just another means of tracking the figures and their availability.

Mainline Hasbro TransFormers:

Cybertron Longrack (because the original amuses me, and the just the idea that they adapted Armada Hoist into a Cybertron version of him even moreso)

Energon Dreadwing ('cos I like the Gundam-ish mold)

Beast Wars Inferno

Beast Wars Metals/Transmetals 2 Tigerhawk
Beast Wars Metals/Transmetals 2 Megatron

SS TransFormers One Elita-1 Bought (not a great rendition of the character, but certainly better than any of the Legacy Femme-Bots and those revealed so far in Age of the Primes)

SS TransFormers One Airachnid Preordered (looking legitimately impressive, this is quite a surprise... but it remains to be seen how it works in the rubbish plastic Hasbro are churning in their factories these days)

Generations Selects Legacy Evolution Antagony Bought (an impulse buy on holiday)

TransFormers Retro G1 Gears Bought (I certainly didn't want the AotP version but, new head aside, I'm hoping this is as good as some folks say it is...)

TransFormers Retro G1 Brawn Bought (can't stand the cartoon-style head that Hasbro invariably give their Brawn figures and, while I still have my objections to the dumpy proportions of this one, it does at least look more the part)

Mainline Takara Tomy Figures:

TransFormers Generations Senator Ratbat

Beast Wars Neo Big Convoy (maybe... Might get the Encore version)

Masterpiece Ratbat (maybe... Not 100% convinced by Badbat...)

Adamas Machina AMT-01 Rodimus (I've been on the lookout for SXS R-04 Hot Flame for a little while and and starting to think that, while expensive, this official Takara Tomy figure might be the better choice if I actually want a stylised Hot Rod figure... It certainly looks fantastic)

Missing Link Bumblebee/Cliffjumper (I mean, I like and want both... but not enough to pay £35 each)

Missing Link Sunstreaker (looks to be a significant improvement on the KO toy I own but, like the two above, I'm not sure I £75-80 want it.)

Missing Link Optimus Prime (need to look into the fragility of some of its joints some more, but the toy-colour version almost feels like it's worth the asking price)

TransFormers Live Action Movie Figures:

MPM Brawl - Bought (another one found at a discounted price... though not quite 50%)

SS KSI Widow Bought (a very basic-looking engineering of the concept art character, but it's another Femme-Bot, and I've seen a lot worse...)

MPM Blackout (maybe - I remain pretty satisfied with the Studio Series toy, and still think the WeiJiang upscaled KO looks better... but it's a question of availability and cashflow)

Misc Exclusives/Special Releases:
TFCC BotCon 2009 Scourge

'Holy Grail'/'White Whale' Figures:
Encore/G1 Omega Supreme (because the Siege version is way too big for my collection and I like motorised features)
G1 Overlord (frequently on eBay in various states of incompleteness, and debatably better than the version from the Titans Return toyline. Cool 'Double Powermaster' features, and a more intricate base mode)
Beast Wars Ikard & Tako Tank (actually not that difficult to find for a reasonable cost, I just don't have room for it right now...)
Beast Wars II Galvatron Color Lio Convoy (super-unlikely considering only 50 were made)
TFCC BotCon 2006 Darksyde Megatron (appeared on eBay during late 2016 for the frankly insane price of $1,300, eventually sold for a just as loony $1,000. Also seen for €1,100 Euros, which is still nuts)

Third Party Transforming Robot Figures:

Yolopark AMK Series Elita-1 Cogged Version Bought (an impulse buy at MCM London Comic Con in May)

Blockees Classics Class Rise of the Beasts Arcee Bought (an impulse buy on holiday)

Magic Square MS-G03 Blueberry Girl Bought (thought I might have missed out on this one!)

Unique Toys R09 Red Destroyer Bought (a positively mindblowing adaptation of AoE Stinger, carrying on UT's tradition of making the impossible CGI of the movies possible in (approximately) MPM-scale plastic)

Newage XM-2 Duel (yet another version of Dark of the Moon Megatron, but looking less fiddly than the Alien Attack one, while being more accurate and complete in vehicle mode than the Unique Toys version)

Iron Factory EX-78 Blackarachnia Samurai Edition (been a while since I bought an Iron Factory figure, and I'm not wholly convinced of the samurai aesthetic on some of the other figures, but this one looks fantastic)

TianYi Design Studio Sideways (as if UT's Stinger didn't look awesome enough, this looks like the breathtaking product of dark sorcery... and I'm already wondering if they'll do a version of Dead End using the same mold)

Sci-Figure Industry Wuling Hongguang Mini EV Nebula (basically a shellformer, but a cute Femme-Bot nonetheless...)

Shock Warrior SW-01 and 02 (being upscaled and improved versions of the Studio Series Ratchet and Ironhide toys based on the Bumblebee movie CGI... I'd been thinking of getting these as I felt the Deluxes were a touch undersized, but pretty much made the decision to get them when I can after my SS Ironhide lost his forearm)

Original Venerable OV-01 (an upscaling and substantial reworking of the Studio Series Sentinel Prime figure, which almost looks to be Masterpiece grade, with an exceptional paint job - I was pretty much sold on it when I saw the pneumatic spike from his vehicle mode utility arm could be pegged into the robot's forearm)

Black Mamba FA-01 Supreme Elder (an upscaling of slight reworking of the SS version of The Fallen with a massively improved paint job, which is everything the Hasbro version should have been)

WeiJiang 'Robot Force' M05 customised Blackout (assuming the issues with build quality - breaking clips, etc. - were sorted... and if it's still available)

Master Made SDT-02 Diabolus Rex (because I rather like Trypticon and this Super Deform version is just adorable!) OR...

Dr.Wu DW-E14 Energy Dragon (as above!)

CollectionSpace CS-03 Star Queen (while CS's Bumblebee analogue didn't impress me - being 100% shellformer - this thing looks intriguing... though I'll reserve judgement till I see actual product images rather than CGI)

Big Firebird EX-02 Scarlet Princess (maybe - I gather the idea now is to make something unique and substantially less IP-infringing than the originally-intended Windblade-analogue but, whatever it is, I'm potentially on board for Big Firebird's next full-size Femme-Bot... if it ever happens)

Mastermind Creations R-09 Eupatorium (if the price is right...)
