I'll be voting for Shrapnel, I really want a set of full-sized Insecticons (assuming this is a pole for a new deluxe or larger).

We just got good retail figures of both the Sharkticons and Shrapnel. The Battlechargers were in the cartoon so there's always a chance for them. Needlenose is the odd one out, so he's who I'd vote for.

Yes for Needlenose here as well.

The choices are a bit weird, it is almost like Hasbro really just wanted a vote between Needlenose and Runabout/Runamok and said lets put 2 characters we've already done reasonably well in there for filler.

I can sorta see an arguement for all 4 characters. Shrapnel would likely be similar enough to FOC Kickback that they wouldn't look awful next to each other, the battlechargers haven't had retail figures in quite a while, having a Gnaw as a deluxe would be a cool leader to a Sharkticon army, Needlenose hasn't had a figure at retail in a while with the latest figure being a collector's club one. For me, it's a tie between Needlenose and maybe Gnaw. Though if the deluxe Sharkticon is actually one of those Allicons, I'm all for it. But, I doubt it

Edit: Whoops, forgot Takara had a recolor of the Blackjack mold in the Adventure line for the battlechargers :oops:

Needle nose for me, not quite sure why another insecticon so soon when they have the legends sized figures to fill out (unless it's the deluxe insecticon at deluxe size, then yay! - reflectors already arguable about scale so bigger insecticon would def throw scale out of the window).
Talking about throwing things out of the window... Gnaw??? Wrong time zone let alone we have TR and cyber verse that are usable (especially cyber verse). Maybe we will see some out of time/place cybertronians in siege line after all (excluding faction change jet fire which already breaks the time line). Galvatron may be sooner than we think (and he time travels anyhoos).

Needlenose all the way here, unless the Battlecharger silhouette is a stand-in for a surprising candidate: generic Decepticon from Devastation.

Needlenose would be pretty sweet too, but I have a feeling he'd be based off his original toy instead of his TCG design

Needlenose, though if Hasbro released a 3-pack of the Legends Insecticons with premium, matching decos in the Selects line, I'd probably buy that. The subtle quality differences between T-30, CW, and TR 'bug' me.

Either the Battlechargers or Neddlenose would be awesome. I don't see why we need new versions of toys that were released less that two years ago.

Re: 2020 Transformers War for Cybertron Toyline Fan Vote (2024250)
Posted by Immortal Starscream on June 12th, 2019 @ 11:43am CDT

Add one more to the needlenose list. I also agree that the addition of Gnaw and Shrapnel are odd here. while gnaw could have been better, they are already fine additions, and scale proportionately to when compared to their g1 toys counterparts, and not that much shorter from their toon versions really (when compared to siege deluxe scale) g1 gnaws toy was quite a bit bigger then the status quo at the time, so maybe a bigger one would be nice. but personally I feel we need to have more figures that haven't gotten any love in a long time, or at all.

I don't really care who wins the vote (don't have an attachment to any of these guys), but I'll be casting my vote for Needlenose.

Posted by PushYouDown on June 12th, 2019 @ 1:37pm CDT

Needlenose for sure.

I like my Insecticons smaller so Shrapnel would be a distant 4th for me.

These are just weird choices, except for Needlenose, who lost the fan vote last year. I have a feeling Hasbro and Takara REALLY want to make him. It'd be nice to have the Battlechargers, but it's pointless if we only get EITHER Runabout OR Runamuck. We need both or nothing at all. We already have a great Sharkticon figure, but if this is at the Deluxe size, maybe the cartoon scale is better? Shrapnel is definitely the worst choice. We already have the Insecticons at the perfect cartoon scale size, that being Legends Class. They're supposed to be around the same size as the Minibots, particularly Huffer. They're not nearly Deluxe Class sized like Reflector is supposed to be, standing eye-to-eye with the likes or Prowl or Sideswipe. I already have the TFCC Needlenose, so I guess my top pick would be the Sharkticon. My second choice would be Needlenose.

The way I see it, if Runabout/Runamuck gets made, not only will the other get made, but there is a very good chance of the mold being retooled as Sunstreaker, considering they share a similar body layout.

Although Needlenose could get retooled into Jhiaxus, so there's that possibility as well :-?

Runabout and Runmauck may look similar, but each sports a different car mode and head design. Speaking of which, it's probably the white Runamuck in the silhouette, judging by the head and faceplate, not to mention his gun:

Transformers G1 1986 Runabout Gallery

Transformers G1 1986 Runamuck Gallery

Makes sense, the "Runamuck" trademark was still available back in 2012, while "Runabout" was not, being replaced with "Over-Run" for the 2012 Club toy.

Yep, if one gets made, the other will be his pretool. Calling it right now!

Re: 2020 Transformers War for Cybertron Toyline Fan Vote (2024263)
Posted by Grahf_ on June 12th, 2019 @ 2:48pm CDT

Needlenose has a deluxe figure.
Gnaw has a legends figure, an upcoming deluxe for Cyberverse and an older deluxe.
Shrapnel has a legends figure that was released twice outside of Japan.
The Battlechargers have both deluxe and legends figures.

I'm good on all of these choices already.

I get that not everyone (like myself) was able to get all of them as several were exclusives but still, these are some shitty choices.

The only ones I'm missing out of the figures we already got are both versions of Runamuck and Botcon Gnaw. Also Cyberverse Gnaw as it's not out yet. So I guess my vote would be for Runamuck, if it is revealed to be him specifically as he's the only one I don't have any version of currently.

Given all of them have modern releases, I'm disappointed these are our options.

Obviously I'd love to see a total random like Stalker thrown in, but I guess it's hard for Hasbro to move past the first two years. At least they're showing some Decepticon love for once I guess.

Not for main retail, tho. Needlenose hasn't had a proper main retail release in ages, Runabout/Runamuck... somewhat. CW Blackjack was originally made to be Runabout, and was redecoed as him for TF Adventure:

Transformers Adventures Runabout Gallery

With Runamuck as a mail order redeco. 8-}

We haven't had a proper ICBM Tank for a good while, haven't we?

The mold itself could be re-used for a Machine Wars Soundwave, or even Cybertron Defense Red Alert.

Yeah I'm a Stalker fanboy, but honestly, Stalker, the Predators and the Turbomasters all have so much potential and I'm sure people would like some different characters for once.

Welcome to the eternal pandering that is Generations from now on. I've once theorized that, once the trilogy kicked off by Siege is over that the fanbase (at least the older fans) will experience serious G1 fatigue once Hasbro end up constantly remaking the same characters over and over and over...

At least for Siege it did win even skeptics like me over purely on the fact that, yes, the toys are just that good as far as mass retail goes. HOWEVER! If Hasbro start being afraid of moving past the '84 to late '85/Movie lineup this brand will die off. There are many, many G1 characters still left without a modern update but companies have to do what is profitable and I suspect the 'guys in suits' think it would be only profitable to keep making the '84/'85 guys-that-everybody-knows and throw fans and design a bone by 'spicing up' these lines with some characters who did need love (see: CW Liokaiser, TR having the likes of Overlord and Sixshot and Siege having city-bots buddies as 'Weaponizers'). In the long run this business model cannot be sustained, at least not for a line like Generations. Yes, every new cartoon will always have a new Optimus, Megatron, Starscream or Bumblebee but this is CHUG, the 'classics' line.

Look I understand they need the heavy hitters on the shelves for monetary and branding reasons. However, with Gnaw and Shrapnel I worry Hasbro is gonna be going in circles already. At least you could argue Runabout and/or Runamuck aren't quite such a case given their recent-ish toys weren't mainline toys and despite being part of the 'oldschool G1 crew' they're not exactly big names. More like crowd-filling cronies.

However, Needlenose need a new toy because DAMN IT HASBRO, YOU'RE DOING TARGETMASTERS AGAIN! Just retool Impactor into Quake and release him alongside Needlenose and Spinister. Beside, the WFC trilogy need more Decepticons at the deluxe price point. This is basically no-Horrocons-for-Titans-Return levels of mishandling. :HEADHURTS:

It's the predominant social media, they're using it because that is quite literally the best method of reaching their fan base and gauging their opinions.

If people aren't on Facebook, they miss out, that % of people will be barely a blip to them.

Agreed 100%, especially since I'm not on any social media platform but its probably more cost effective than setting up a poll on their own site.

You guys are good. I would have had no idea who the silhouette for C was, even though I have the TFCC version of Needlenose. I'm sure he will be the winner since:

1. Schrapnel's T30 figure, was just re-released in 2018 as part of PotP
2. Gnaw was just released as part of TR
3. Runabout/Runamuck were released as exclusives in Japan under the legends line. Also speaking of Legends...

These three were all part of this size class. Since Needlenose was part of the TFCC, but integrated into the CW aesthetic, I wonder if he wins then this will mean... That the Legends size class will be returning for the 2020 Generations line?

I mean it is pretty silly after all. 2 would be obvious reissues, and the 3rd Hasbro could just swipe from TT the deco of the already existing Legends Blackjack Figure...Unless...there is some stipulation in the wording of the contest (which I cannot see to confirm for myself) that this would be an ALL NEW figure, no matter the result of the poll...

As a college student, these weird poll choices remind me of multiple choice tests I've taken where the answer choices are:
A. Blatantly wrong answer
B. Close to the right answer
C. Obviously the right answer if you think about it
D. Obviously wrong answer

Skritz wrote: Long post about G1 rehash burnout

I agree with basically everything you said here, although I disagree that we need a new Quake so soon after the TR one, part of your whole argument and the problem with this poll in the first place is that it has two characters who just got figures in Prime Wars. Also, why did Needlenose specifically come back, but not Spinister? He would easily be a better choice than Gnaw at least.

The issue with Quake is that he'd be 'the odd one out' and the new Impactor mold is a dead ringer for him versus a Hardhead repaint. The thing, with Gnaw and Shrapnel is that they not only already got a toy, but flat out got one that work. There is nothing new to add to Gnaw and Shrapnel except maybe making them bigger.

Quake didn't get a Japanese release? So he'd fit into the same category as the battlchargers for most of us (having a release that's not easily available), though he wouldn't have an earth tank alt mode as part of Siege any way. Just do some battlemasters for the TR one rather than waste a repaint/character slot (and hasbro don't mind having battlemasters that don't really appeal to the Japanese Market by trying to sell characters that were already included with deluxe there).
Would be annoying if they only did one battle charger, which is always a possibility.

Re: 2020 Transformers War for Cybertron Toyline Fan Vote (2024287)
Posted by Skritz on June 12th, 2019 @ 7:27pm CDT

I mean, Quake seems like one of the better choices to retool Impactor, given their similar vehicle mode and robot modes. All he'd need is a new head and (maybe) chest. I doubt Hasbro will skip on a chance to reuse the Siege molds down the line in this trilogy, especially if it lacks line-wide gimmicks (that aren't just 5mm ports, anyway).

I'm pretty indifferent to this poll between recent Hasbro offerings and what we got from FunPub. I'd rather see things like the Legends class Insecticons given a uniform deco than remade all over again. Needlenose I'd go for if I knew I'd also get a Quake that isn't a Titan Master and a Spinnister that isn't a combiner (I'm tired of my teams not being uniform). I'd go for Runabout and Runamuck only if I knew we were getting both at retail. I don't really need another Gnaw.

I'm curious if people would be against a new, full function Doubledealer figure that could be retooled into Stalker even if it meant Stalker being a triplechanger? I mean, a bird of prey is a fitting thing for him to turn into and it would let him fly around like his teammates.

o.supreme wrote:3. Runabout/Runamuck were released as exclusives in Japan under the legends line.

That's not a thing that exists. They were released in the Adventures line, but they were at Hasbro's Legends scale since they were CW Blackjack repaints/retools. Plus one was a mail away exclusive that you had to buy a book to order making it extra difficult to get. Hasbro and Takara Tomy both should consider these two and Needlenose as priorities.

I like the idea, but I'd be conflicted. Mostly because if we get a new Doubledealer, I'd hope he'd have his powermaster gimmick or something similar to it. But that gimmick doesn't suit Stalker. On the other hand, Stalker having a flight mode might be nice just so, as Emerje said, he'd be able to fly around with his teammates
