Skywarp all the way! We've had Blaster reissued in the U.S. TWICE now in the past decade. We don't need a third. It's easy to find him if you want him, honestly, and he even comes with three of his cassettes.

Its the same for Skywarp. I think both these choices are lame. I'd rather see a figure that we haven't already gotten reissued a dozen times before.

I'm not in the US but perhaps Walmart could stock Skywarp with the teleportation feature reactivated! After all, they reactivated the missile firing function years ago. 
Failing that, bring back Blaster with a sound chip that plays Rick Astley and can't be turned off.

I voted for Skywarp simply because we already had a very recent reissue of Blaster, which is clogging store shelves in many different parts of the world, and I would like a Skywarp.
That said, if they were to make a Blaster (which will probably happen because the poll is leaning that way), I need it to be in the original G1 colors. Alot of reissues, including the new one, have a slightly beige plastic with sparkles in them, and the orange appears lighter, so I would like Blaster to have his true G1 colors back

Skywarp reissues arent as recent though. But I agree, neither of these are great choices. but I think hasbro is banking on character popularity. really wish they could throw us another curve ball like with trypticon or even the coneheads (not saying I want these rereleased, I mean I want releases LIKE those).

I was really excited at first but then it kind of sank in and I think some of you have a point they both are just a little...underwhelming? They both hold real personal nostalgia for me but I don't know if I'd need to really havehavehave either of them despite them being two of my favorites.
But, I'm trying to think of someone who never got that Blaster when they were young, or man, if they'd just been able to find that awesome black and purple Seeker. I mean I can totally see it being awesome for someone else they're iconic classic characters with cool figures.

The last time Skywarp got a U.S. reissue was in 2003, sixteen years ago.

It's not just that. It's the mold availability. Those Geewun are cheap to reissue because of that.
Still, I'd like Blaster. Simply because the latest (Platinum?) reissue was never found in my area.

Your right, it wasn't. But since the platinums were readily available in China (and I think made specifically with that market in mind), they were available on e-bay at the same price we would find them in stores.
In fact, that Blaster set is one of my best articles on this site simply because I showed the new stuff with the slides that came with perceptor and how to do it correctly (because it so happens people cant be bothered to read instructions).
we missed out on a few platinums, like the unicron.

What will be really exciting is to see some of the original Autobot cars get reissued. We've gotten Optimus Prime, Soundwave, Blaster, Perceptor, and the Insecticons multiple times over the past 10-12 years, but nothing of the likes of Prowl, Jazz, or Sideswipe since the TRU reissues in the early 2000's.

But please, no stepper. There were enough from that first batch to still get one for cheap today.
Jazz would be super cool though.

Neither. I'd rather reissues from other lines instead. It's not like these even sell anyway going by the steep discounts on the other figures. It's just like the last few times they reissued G1 figures. They sell well for a few weeks then they clog shelves until they get marked down by around 80%.
Give me a Cybertron Galvatron reissue or another redeco of Tigerhawk or something. They'd sell just as poorly as the G1 figures but at least they'd be more interesting. Or do something similar like Takara did with Unicron of Light and reissue altered versions of exclusive figures from Botcon and the like. I'd love me a Deathsaurus and TM3 Megatron. Predacus, Terrorsaur, Dawn of Future's Past Maximals and Predacons, SG figures, Megazarak, Bugbite, Roulette and Shadow Striker, the list goes on and on.
I grew up on G1 figures, I bought the first bunch of reissues for about $4 each from Toys R Us, then I sold them a few years later as I realized how much I didn't actually like them. I moved on, so should Hasbro. There will always be a place for G1 reissues but Transformers is more than just G1 now and that's putting it mildly.
So in short, bring back the Universe line and don't limit yourself to just G1 reissues.

Nowadays, however, with the runaway success that the live action movies have brought to the brand, Hasbro has plenty of new product to offer retailers. So much so, even, that some of it doesn't even make it to certain retailers, like tail-enders and such.
With the current spread of Siege, Cyberverse, Studio Series, the normal Bumblebee movie line, and even BotBots (Rescue Bots is by a different branch of the company and sold in a different toy aisle than the main lines), that's five lines worth of product available to retailers from Hasbro, in contrast to significantly less abundance of product that was available during the Unicron Trilogy, making a line like the old Universe line an unnecessary endeavor in Hasbro's eyes.
Posted by Sabrblade on May 17th, 2019 @ 5:02pm CDT
While I don't disagree in theory, the Universe line came about due to a demand from retailers for more Transformers product. Hasbro didn't have enough new product at the time during Armada/Energon to meet that demand, so they had no choice but to turn to redecoing reissues of preexisting molds.Alpha Weltall wrote:So in short, bring back the Universe line and don't limit yourself to just G1 reissues.

I've said it before, but I will say it again--it all comes down to if they will do anything "special" to these like they did with the first wave of minibots and with Starscream. Since Starscream had painted eyes, I would "hope" they would paint Skywarp's eyes. But if they were do something nice with Blaster...

That surprises me, since ASDA usually gets the Walmart exclusives (since it's literally the UK's Walmart).

Asda rarely even has transformers now. Maybe a few of the kid aimed ones but that's about it since they reduced wave 1 or 2 of studio series many months ago. Not sure if Walmart ever bought out bnm but it will be unlikely they get the exclusives until its discount.

Walmart has wanted rid of Asda for a while now, and ir's been a few years since the ones near me ever had a decent tf range. I too assumed the reissues might have appeared at a few of the stores, if only to promote the bumblebee movie.

Ooop, you're right yup, looks like Warp lost out. Ah well. You know though you all are proposing ways of making a Blaster reissue way more appealing. I think I lack faith in Wal-Mart of doing anything cool like that though.

Ooop, you're right yup, looks like Warp lost out. Ah well. You know though you all are proposing ways of making a Blaster reissue way more appealing. I think I lack faith in Wal-Mart of doing anything cool like that though.

Well, adding another to the shopping list. I love my transforming gadgets.

Now that, that would be the way to do it. Hmmm, man, that's how you make that worth while.
How about Blaster standalone with his cassettes in 2-packs like they're doing with Soundwave?

Pretty sure it will be a standalone blaster since the idea is to replicate their g1 releases (obviously not to a T). Casette 2 packs make sense.

And unlike with Soundwave, you can get all them that way (Ratbat missed the boat).

I had the brightest idea for a reissue.
This. The G1 Optimus Prime trailer. By itself.
…for 50$US or 70$CAN!

But Roller’s separate on card at the Minibot price point. Of course.

Well the fans voted, and the results announced for the latest fan poll held on the Official Transformers Facebook page.
The result? It's a win for Blaster!
This means that G1 Blaster will be making his way back to store shelves next year, but there's no word on if his cassettes will be joining him like Soundwave's joined him. If you want to take a look at the potential deco we could see again next year, click here to see Seibertron.com's own gallery of the original release of Blaster!
What release would you really like to see reissued? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

When the poll had just started, the votes were 60ish% Blaster, but then slowly went down to 50ish+% near the end, only beating Skywarp by a smidge.
I can imagine Warp would have won had the poll been longer, but who knows

Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Especially with the fact that Skywarp has had less reissues than Blaster.

Blaster didn’t come with cassettes and the whole thing about these releases are them coming with what they were released with and in their original packaging so no
Yes starscream came with a Megatron gun and Optimus his alternate rifles but those are small things that didn’t involve what would involve a transforming cassette. If sound waves cassettes are being released than it’s possible some of blasters will as well down the line

It'll never happen (and we all know why), but Jetfire is far and away the one that I'd like to be rereleased.

I'm with you on that one, but unless Harmony Gold can make peace with Takara, we won't see one for as long as we live
I really want a G1 Megatron reissue, but the likelihood of that happening is probably even less than Jetfire.
I would like some Headmasters, as I was looking through some for sale, and I feel bad for those who have lost the head over the years, because I am in awe that the head costs 10 times more than the rest of the figure. So some more readily available Headmasters would be nice.
What's the likelihood of a reissue of Liokaser?

Perhaps it's less impossible than you think. Harmony Gold's time is running out on the license, and if it isn't given back to them then there's a chance so long as Takara could work things out with...Was it Takutoku who made the original Valkyrie mold?
Edit: I would love a Liokaiser resissue
