The Want List

Last Update 24/9/24

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

Mainline Takara Tomy Figures:
Arms Micron (TFPrime) Jet Vehicon General (or the APC Toys KO...)

TransFormers Generations Senator Ratbat

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

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

TransFormers Live Action Movie Figures:

MPM Blackout (maybe - I'm still 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)

MPM Bonecrusher (maybe - chances are, and improved KO will come along... but equally, I'm not that invested in the character and the Studio Series version is fine for me...)

MPM Brawl (maybe - as above, there may be an improved KO eventually... having lost my Leader Class Brawl, I'm definitely in the marked for an update, and this mold looks fantastic... if a little lacking in paintwork)

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:

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

APC Toys Galaxy Mob AirGeneral - a beautiful silver repaint of APC's KO of the TFPrime Jet Vehicon... which comes with a couple of Scraplets, apparently... 

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)

Unique Toys R09 Red Destroyer (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)

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!)

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)

Big Firebird EX-03 Nacha (very slight maybe - their take on an arachnid Femme-Bot has an Egyptian slant which may turn out well... or might just look weird... Certainly doesn't look very robotic at the moment. Keeping an eye on it for now)

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