8:14 I too REALLY want an Anode, but I don't want a Windblade repaint, my favorite part of her is that her alt mode is a biplane! She NEEDS to be a biplane, not just some regular jet. If they can retool Windblade into a biplane I'd go for it, but I doubt they'd do that. We have had literally ONE biplane mold in the entire history of Transformers and it was a ROTF scout, but now we have an official character who is a real canon biplane and that MUST be represented in the toy line!
Animated Wasp for sure. And I can agree with you that Chase could easily be remade into a Prime’s universe Cliffjumper. I could also see them partially retooling that into prime Vehicons.
I don’t see the Vehicons at all personally. Their design is more specific than they credit for and this attitude that they can just be a quick retool of any random carformer has always confused me. Prime Cliffjumper is the most likely candidate, followed by maybe a G1 Throttlebot or two. Chase getting retooled into Chase would be funny
I'm 100% sure that if Hasbro isn't going to release a Wingpack for Animated Prime, DNA is. They already did Prowl's Samurai armor that properly turns into the sidecar, AND comes with the Seismic Staff.
@@twistedgaming9185 That'd definitely be the move unless they wanted to do another Gen Selects accessory pack like they did for OP and Megs in Earthrise
I like the idea of a capsule of Universe 1.0-themed repaints you brought up, just because that would mean the boxes would say they are from the Universe Universe
Here’s my bets: Bouldercrash and Magneous (as well as any Armorizers that follow them) are getting Energon (like the fuel) themed recolors. I would love a multipack of these two in Dark Energon and Tox-En colors so Toxitron can have some extra armaments (as if the trailer wasn’t enough). Energon Megatron has the obvious Galvatron repaint, but what about a Core Class SG Megatron retool? We already have a Core Optimus who they’re willing to repaint into evil colors, so why not do an SG Core 2-pack? Tasmania Kid will probably end up with a Selects Bound Rogue repaint if the design team is willing to go that obscure. Animated BB has the obvious Wasp and Cliffjumper, but I saw a fantastic Stinger digibash on TFW2005 and I wouldn’t mind seeing a Bug Bite out of this mold either. The craziest reuse I could see them getting out of this figure, though, is perhaps a Generations “Classics Universe” Bumblebee with a new head and some extra parts that bump him up to Voyager while also recreating his jet ski/jetpack. Chase has the obvious Prime Cliffjumper, evergreen Barricade and Star Seeker Lockdown retools coming. Can’t really think of a good retool other than those three. Windblade, aside from the Slipstream we know is coming, could have a Cybertronian Airazor retool or a Til All Are One “Vigilem Avatar” repaint. Thundertron could have “Alpha Trizer” and maybe a Selects version of Go Prime. Also, with how gung ho this design team is about IDW, I wouldn’t be surprised if a Mortilus retool was planned at some point. Animated OP should get his Armor Up repaint (from Activators), an SG recolor, and a “what-if” Season 4 palette. Know that Tigerhawk shall be repainted into Razorclaw eventually!
There's a big part of me that wonders if we'll get a Black Go Prime out of Thundertron. Very much so the easiest to do since he'd just need a new coat of paint, but obviously the bot's insanely obscure, being a toy-only character from one of the most obscure Transformers series who only ever got any in-universe appearances in an even more obscure comic. But it'd be cool to see Go of all things get some love in generations.
PerspectiveEnd said something in his video about these reveals and i really agree what if Hasbro uses the Chase mold and turns it into Barricade linda based on his evergreen desgin,that could really work
6:51 Not to mention that their Animated versions do utilize Bee's body-type. Also makes me wonder if some of the other obscure Animated Bee redecos/retools would carry over to the G1 version?
15:59 I know BotCon wanted to use the original in Predaking colors (they also wanted to use it as a form of SG BW: Megatron when they were planning their 2011 set, which I assume was where they got the Metalhawk/Cyclonus retool and the Toxitron Collection/Mayhem name from).
I’ve seen suggestions for Chase to be retooled into Cliffjumper and Lockdown, but another one I’d be hyped for is Barricade. This mold would look killer in black, white, and purple.
I see that they are going to do a Magmatron. You know they are going to recolor that into Grimlock, Swoop and Paddles. Why Paddles and not Sludge? It is because Magmatron's gimmick is land, air and sea and Paddles is the only Dinobot that can swim.
speaking of throttlebot freeway. they should do the throttlebots using the various car molds they have with them being deluxes and wideload being a voyager maybe remolding the trashmaster mold. the chase throttlebot would have to be called "throttlebot chase" to differentiate it from the rescuebots one
Personally, I think it would make a whole lot more sense for Barricade to be retooled from Chase. Not only are they both American style Police cars, the silhouettes are similar too. While Barricade wouldn't get to have the whole side of the car as his arms. He does get to have the wheel as a part of his shoulder, so he does get to keep a bit of his unique silhouette.
This, because Galactic Odyssey Barricade is hard to find for a decent price, and it'll be nice to have him differentiated from Prowl, Bluestreak, and Smokescreen
Now that you've put it in my head i want an full fire truck animated Optimus more than anything, and I'm also hoping for a Wasp & Leobreaker to come out.
I'd love if they did Razorclaw and labelled his universe as "Universe Universe" XD fr though, I don't see Lockdown from Chase, my bets are completely on Axlegrease as the base. The weaponizer gimmick is too good to pass on as an Animated reference and the vehicle mode is already on point. Plus there's the engine which can double as the EMP weapon. I'd say switch out the big smokestacks for some accessories that go over his hands that allow you to put weapons on horizontally, so he can have the hook in the proper orientation. As for likely retools of Chase, Prime Cliffjumper seems like a possibility. Speaking of Rescue Bots, hope they turn Legacy Bulkhead into Heatwave and replace his accessories (like doing the Axe Energize weapon instead of the wrecking ball, a hose, and the ladder in place of the riot shield). He'd also need a new torso piece probably. I really hope one of the rock guys get redone in pink translucent plastic so they can be passed off as a bot made of pure Energon.
My guess is Tasmanian Kid: Copy T.K. Chase: Prime Cliffjumper Bee: Wasp, Glyph, maybe Bumper Windblade: Maxima, Anode Thundertron: Thunderhowl Prime: Toxitron, maybe retool into Cybertronian mode, SG Optimus as a way to get one back out there and tribute to TFA almost doing a episode Tigerhawk: Razorclaw Excluding Slipstream and TFA Motormaster as both are leaked to be coming
If you want a repaint of Tasmania Kid that's just as obscure as Bound Rogue, you could also go with his original alt-mode, a Cheetah that he planned on scanning before the Tasmanian devil got in the way. He even daydreamed what his body would look like if he was successful!
Honestly I never liked the idea of Slipstream being a Windblade repaint never really worked, imho I'd rather they'd wait until they've an Animated Starscream in their coffers and make her from that mold or at least redesign Windblade to have a seeker-like transformation
the vast majority of it seems based on the 2012 thundertron design though with notable changes being the head sculpt, bigger shoulders pads without the movable claws and the claws on the robot mode hands but i could see them doing a thunderhowl remold of the new thundertron
I am so happy one of the big Transformers UA-camrs has brought up Anode as a possible Legacy figure. After discovering her existence and really liking her design and alt mode I would love to see a figure of her get released. Even if her alt mode isn't exact with a lack of biplane styled wings, I've seen a thing on tfw2005 where someone 3D printed new wings, the front of her alt mode and a head for RiD Warrior class Windblade and with how good that vehicle mode looks I'd take something like that for a remould of Legacy Windblade.
This might sound a bit ludicrous, but I could also see animated optimus getting retooled into rescue bots optimus. All it would need is a remolded head and arms, then a new paint job, and then the light bar removed and it would be a passable rb optimus prime
I would like to see Hasbro give us Animated Lockdown and Siren/ Go Shooter from the new Rescue Bots Chase, so we can have our favorite bounty hunter/mercenary and the next modern take on a Headmaster junior to go with the Minerva we got.
I think if we do get Slipstream she’ll definitely be made from Windblade, I’m also hoping we get a new Barricade out of Chase Also it feels like they could use Tigertron for Silverbolt
For me a Lockdown retool from Chase looks like an EXTREME jump compared to Prime Cliffjumper after noticing all the tons of little details. For instance, the detailing under the window in robot mode which if you look very closely if painted would look a lot like the headlights and bumper, then the four arm design at the wrist which could be painted black, the fact that about 3/4s of the car looks near identical to prime Cliffjumper’s car mode; just take off the siren, change the part with the grill on it which includes the very front tip of the hood and is the same color plastic as the head, and make it red. Although I will admit, I definitely see how this design would work great for a Lockdown, I just think it would look FAR better as a Cliffjumper. Also, this could be very slightly biased since my favorite character IS Cliffjumper.
I like the idea of reusing the upcoming Legacy Animated Universe Optimus Prime to get the wing blade version we never got out of Animated, but I would like to pitch a similar idea that would be so far out of left field, such a massive curveball that it just might work. What if..Hasbro were to reuse Legacy Animated Universe Optimus Prime, and retool it enough that you could get the Project: Powermaster armor that we also never got?
I'm not sure they would directly do Animated Powermaster, since it's just a thing that was in a book and never made it even to the cartoon, let alone the toy shelves. However, after TJ said it, perhaps a leader class, or maybe commander, for the trailer/rear section, part of it could come off to form the Endgame armour, with other parts becoming some sort of battle station, then the rest could bulk out the super mode into something resembling the Powermaster.
I like the idea you pitched and I think that would most likely be the best way to handle it so that one could get both versions out of the same figure. With Legacy being the line for anniversary figures and Animated being one of the series that can get new figures, now is most likely the best chance to reuse any Animated season 4 concepts that we never got. I wouldn’t exactly put it at the commander price point (mainly because I kinda doubt that Hasbro would go 2 for 2 on Optimus Prime at that size class, but if I’m wrong, I’ll admit it), but I think somewhere between leader and commander would be the best option.
Tasmania Kid actually has one very obvious and easy repaint and it's Copy Tasmania Kid the black repaint and Windblade is easily can be repainted in to Maxima from Machinima's combiner wars series
9:07 Lug's transformation scheme was based on Rewind's. Anode's was based on Mindwipe's. Not to mention that Windblade was also used for Maxima in Combiner Wars, Stiletto in Beast Wars: Uprising & Airazor's Cybertronian form.
Bumblebee as Wasp, or the entire Animated fandom likely riots. For that matter, I'm surprised you didn't hit the most obvious, lowest hangin' fruit Yoooooo, I never knew there even *WAS* an Animated Toxitron. But yeah, I doubt a Nemesis Prime simply because Animated already used The Motormaster as the obligamatory black repaint there. Thundertron is obvious: Alpha Trizer, just like last time. Ligerjack/Leobreaker would be incredible (but Nemesis Breaker would be more likely to be Generations Selects or Takara Tomy Mall), too. Cyberverse Cheetor is probably the best bet for a Cheetor from this mold. Chase as Lockdown? Nah...I still see Gamer Edition Barricade as a potential G1ified Animated Lockdown. TFP Cliffjumper is just ridonkalonkalous, but nobody expected SS86-1 Jazz to be retooled into TFP Knockout. (And yet, they still haven't done the obligamatory further retool into TFP Smokescreen) BUT...maybe they could make Chase into somebody from the Unicron Trilogy. 🤷🏽♂️
Man I wish I thought of doing Username Ladiesman217 when getting my Patreon shoutout, I messed up with setting it up so I had to wait a month before making TJ shout out what I wanted to which happened when he went over Pulsecon.
Something you didint mention about the Armorizers is that Magneous has almost the same chest as Rock lords stoneheart. So I imagine that's a high probability
Love the idea for throttlebots but that mold only accounts for 4 of the 6, but again people had been wondering why the WFC Cliff mold never got used for them.
Mentioning Razorclaw: I noticed that on Tigerhawk's beast head that there is a tab there for something. Perhaps they'll also do a toy colored version of Tigerhawk with the blue and put that inevitable beast mode battle mask that might also come with Razorclaw.
Leo Breaker/Ligerjack was also my first go to thought of a potential alternate use for the Thundertron mold, another safe bet for it would be a Leo Prime/Convoy repaint since that has happened to Thundertron in the past
I think what they should have done with the rocklords is let them transform into a rock mode but then also have a vehicle mode so they can homage the original alt forms. All rocklords could be triple changers but just the rock mode as a 3rd form.
-Besides Wasp and possibly Bug-Bite from Animated Bumblebee, a Glyph and Tap-Out would be cool to see. -Cyberverse Windblade can be repainted into Maxima. -Don't want Slipstream to be remolded from Windblade, but it is possible. They can go the Takara legends manga reason, as the turbines are interdimensional gyro-rotors. Which would explain how she got into the Legacy multiverse. -A full firetruck Animated Optimus Prime would be great for Hasbro to do. -Rescue Bots Chase can be repainted as Throttlebot Chase. Maybe even remolded as Wildwheel.
Yeah I made my axel grease some playmates with copies of towline and scraphook with some slight painting and also some females using the towline colors and scraphook body. And now I have all three of those 'bad junkions' with Detritus and Toxitron as a rogue junkion faction.
I'm not sure about Beast Hunters Prime, the torso is bulkier but BH prime is sorta bulky all around. Also it'd be two possible red and blue Optimus with a jetpack from the same mold and directly from the animated mold I would prefer the endgame armour. Don't get me wrong, I would love them to do Beast Hunters Prime, that's a badass design, it was criminal how little time it got in the spotlight, and none of the figures in the Prime toyline did it justice, the voyager didn't really get the bulkiness right to me, the bigger one is a little tootall in vehicle mode and sacrifices the accurate jetpack for that dumb dragon head ring thing, the cyberverse one was obviously simplified and the second voyager was Hasbro copying the people who do the oversized KOs in pound stores, so it'd be cool to see a new figure, preferably either leader or even commanderr if it meant we got that gattling gun done right, but for that specific mold, if it came down the BH or Endgame, it has to be Endgame.
I can see Thunderhawk being retooled into BW Silverbolt. The transformation is sort of similar. Will Beast Machines get any love this year? Will we see Nightscreen or Botanica or Obsidian? Or was the series so unloved that Hasbro doesn't want to remind people it existed?
You don't actually have to do much to Tazmania Kid tp get a good looking dog, fox, or cat - mostly just shift the ears from the feet to the little panel that flips onto his back, and remodel the beast face a bit while you're at it, change the tail as well for a cat or maybe for a fox. I don't really see them doing another Cheetor-family character so soon when some of the WFCK versions are still shelf- and peg-warming and I'm not sure there ever even was a fox, so Snarl or Wolfang I guess? Maybe that racoon guy from BW II or Neo?
I'd love a retool of Chase into evergreen Barricade imho, I just want a really good figure of that evergreen design of Barricade as opposed to another prowl-ish design
The Core Tasmanian Devil would be best served as a highly detailed premium redeco homaging BWII by Takara Tomy; sold as a 2-pack with Lio Convoy. Fingers🤞😊
I'm really worried that Bumblebee will just get turned into Cliffjumper Prime. I'd rather it be Wasp, but knowing how Hasbro thinks, Cliffjumper is very likely to be the alternate head. Yeah, I'm firmly in the Thundertron for Leobreaker camp. Sadly, I agree that he probably won't be able to form an arm at the Voyager price point, but either way I'd be happy with just a good Leobreaker toy. Plus, they did mention in the presentation that Thundertron had some liger elements to him...
I don't think Hasbro is willing to piss off the fanbase like that again. They butchered Arcee, gave mad disrespect to Knockout by making him a retool, and gave Bulkhead the completely wrong vehicle type. After all the deserved backlash they got for that they release Skyquake who's a lot more accurate. (Even if it still has G1 aspects cause Hasbro are G1 whores and can't help themselves) If anyone is gonna be retooled into Cliffjumper Chase is the best bet. The robot mode might not be completely accurate but it'll be better than all 3 of the original Legacy Prime figures robot modes AND 2 of the 3's vehicle modes.
@@TheDaxter11 I meant Cliffjumper Prime as in Animated Cliffjumper, who I believe was a Prime in that series. Sorry, I should've realized that would be confusing.
I don't mind Axelgrease's color scheme for one reason. She's a decepticon, the rest are autobots. My hope is that if they release more decepticon junkions they share that color scheme
Hey TJ are you willing to consider a doing a video on Hasbro’s manufacturing process how retools are done and what the machinery looks like and how the paint apps are done Or will the evil algorithm gods shoot you down on that one Just an idea 🤷♂
I still think it would be a better idea to do a Lockdown from the Axelgrease mould since that’s already a Mad Max car and if it’s a selects release or something you can swap out his arms and for the hook or the chainsaw like in Animated, which is something no other toy is going to be able to do
Lockdown's whole shtick was upgrading himself with parts or weapons stolen from other Transformers, so having him be made from one of the current Junkions would probably be the easiest way to replicate that.
I can totally see a movieverse shatter out of that windblade. I know she wouldn't be a triple changer. But I'm fine with her just being a jet! Also someone on Twitter said that thundertron could be remolded into cyberverse thunderhowl!
Surprised you didn't mention for Thundertron, Thunderhowl for Cyberverse, some of the details almost seem lifted from him, implying Thundertron is the pretool.
There's another possibility for repainting Tasmania Kid, TJ. He got a black and grey clone in the anime from the same machine that created Copy Convoy (AKA Dark Ember/Nemesis Lio Convoy)
Personally to me Chase seems like an easier choice for a Throttlebot than Animated Bumblebee, unless they do a lot of serious remolding, chase having the more squared-off vehicle mode and the lights at his feet makes more sense to me is all
RID2001 Gasskunk is a very easy retool of Tazmania Kid, just swap the tail and head and Hasbro would say close enough. I could have sworn we were promised a unique mold Slipstream a few months ago.The Motormaster is already showing up in retail listing, as The Motormaster. Chase could easily be a Aligned/evergreen universe Barricade, Axlegrease is more likely to be Lockdown, the hook is part of the mold, the spikes are part of the mold, the forearm weapon is part of the mold, all they would need would be a new head and a fake chest remold.
8:14 I too REALLY want an Anode, but I don't want a Windblade repaint, my favorite part of her is that her alt mode is a biplane! She NEEDS to be a biplane, not just some regular jet. If they can retool Windblade into a biplane I'd go for it, but I doubt they'd do that. We have had literally ONE biplane mold in the entire history of Transformers and it was a ROTF scout, but now we have an official character who is a real canon biplane and that MUST be represented in the toy line!
Animated Toxitron is definitely on the way. You can see the plunger molded into the axe as a part of the handle
@@GH0STST4RSCR34M yeah I did, that’s what happens when you let speech to text do the typing for you and don’t look it back over after lol
@@GH0STST4RSCR34M yeah I was out for a walk at the time so I didn’t feel like staring at the screen 😂
Animated Wasp for sure. And I can agree with you that Chase could easily be remade into a Prime’s universe Cliffjumper. I could also see them partially retooling that into prime Vehicons.
And hopefully Barricade.
if they don’t make wasp i would cry
Maybe sunsteaker???
@@Jazmission
Excellent suggestion! Well, we just have to wait and see for the reveal of his studio series 86 figure
I don’t see the Vehicons at all personally. Their design is more specific than they credit for and this attitude that they can just be a quick retool of any random carformer has always confused me. Prime Cliffjumper is the most likely candidate, followed by maybe a G1 Throttlebot or two. Chase getting retooled into Chase would be funny
I'd love to see a shattered glass optimus out of the legacy mould, we would just need an alternate goatee head!
Him and SG bee in those big bite colors
I meant bug bite
I’d like to see at least a Heatwave or a Whirl sometime in the future.
I'm 100% sure that if Hasbro isn't going to release a Wingpack for Animated Prime, DNA is. They already did Prowl's Samurai armor that properly turns into the sidecar, AND comes with the Seismic Staff.
Hasbro will probably just re-release the Legacy toy with the wingpack (and a new head with the battle mask).
@@twistedgaming9185 That'd definitely be the move unless they wanted to do another Gen Selects accessory pack like they did for OP and Megs in Earthrise
I like the idea of a capsule of Universe 1.0-themed repaints you brought up, just because that would mean the boxes would say they are from the Universe Universe
I’d prefer to call Universe 1.0.-inspired characters “Cauldron Universe” characters.
Here’s my bets:
Bouldercrash and Magneous (as well as any Armorizers that follow them) are getting Energon (like the fuel) themed recolors. I would love a multipack of these two in Dark Energon and Tox-En colors so Toxitron can have some extra armaments (as if the trailer wasn’t enough).
Energon Megatron has the obvious Galvatron repaint, but what about a Core Class SG Megatron retool? We already have a Core Optimus who they’re willing to repaint into evil colors, so why not do an SG Core 2-pack?
Tasmania Kid will probably end up with a Selects Bound Rogue repaint if the design team is willing to go that obscure.
Animated BB has the obvious Wasp and Cliffjumper, but I saw a fantastic Stinger digibash on TFW2005 and I wouldn’t mind seeing a Bug Bite out of this mold either. The craziest reuse I could see them getting out of this figure, though, is perhaps a Generations “Classics Universe” Bumblebee with a new head and some extra parts that bump him up to Voyager while also recreating his jet ski/jetpack.
Chase has the obvious Prime Cliffjumper, evergreen Barricade and Star Seeker Lockdown retools coming. Can’t really think of a good retool other than those three.
Windblade, aside from the Slipstream we know is coming, could have a Cybertronian Airazor retool or a Til All Are One “Vigilem Avatar” repaint.
Thundertron could have “Alpha Trizer” and maybe a Selects version of Go Prime. Also, with how gung ho this design team is about IDW, I wouldn’t be surprised if a Mortilus retool was planned at some point.
Animated OP should get his Armor Up repaint (from Activators), an SG recolor, and a “what-if” Season 4 palette.
Know that Tigerhawk shall be repainted into Razorclaw eventually!
The rocks could also get new-head retools to be the Granites from Inhumanoids. Their listed universe is already Infernac.
There's a big part of me that wonders if we'll get a Black Go Prime out of Thundertron. Very much so the easiest to do since he'd just need a new coat of paint, but obviously the bot's insanely obscure, being a toy-only character from one of the most obscure Transformers series who only ever got any in-universe appearances in an even more obscure comic.

Chase is going to be fun to see what he's retooled into
I’ve seen suggestions for Chase to be retooled into Cliffjumper and Lockdown, but another one I’d be hyped for is Barricade. This mold would look killer in black, white, and purple.

Thundertron into Cyberverse Thunderhowl? I know the names are similar, but the mold would wear the colors well.
The Chase to Lockdown idea is absolutely brilliant!

Not only are they both American style Police cars, the silhouettes are similar too. While Barricade wouldn't get to have the whole side of the car as his arms. He does get to have the wheel as a part of his shoulder, so he does get to keep a bit of his unique silhouette.
Barricade is more likely than lockdown or Cliffjumper , or we might get all 3 of them , knowing hasbro.
This, because Galactic Odyssey Barricade is hard to find for a decent price, and it'll be nice to have him differentiated from Prowl, Bluestreak, and Smokescreen
Now that you've put it in my head i want an full fire truck animated Optimus more than anything, and I'm also hoping for a Wasp & Leobreaker to come out.
I'd love if they did Razorclaw and labelled his universe as "Universe Universe" XD
fr though, I don't see Lockdown from Chase, my bets are completely on Axlegrease as the base. The weaponizer gimmick is too good to pass on as an Animated reference and the vehicle mode is already on point. Plus there's the engine which can double as the EMP weapon.

Speaking of Rescue Bots, hope they turn Legacy Bulkhead into Heatwave and replace his accessories (like doing the Axe Energize weapon instead of the wrecking ball, a hose, and the ladder in place of the riot shield). He'd also need a new torso piece probably.
I really hope one of the rock guys get redone in pink translucent plastic so they can be passed off as a bot made of pure Energon.
My guess is
Tasmanian Kid: Copy T.K.
Chase: Prime Cliffjumper
Bee: Wasp, Glyph, maybe Bumper
Windblade: Maxima, Anode
Thundertron: Thunderhowl
Prime: Toxitron, maybe retool into Cybertronian mode, SG Optimus as a way to get one back out there and tribute to TFA almost doing a episode
Tigerhawk: Razorclaw
Excluding Slipstream and TFA Motormaster as both are leaked to be coming
The rock guys could be done in pink or blue to be Energon
If you want a repaint of Tasmania Kid that's just as obscure as Bound Rogue, you could also go with his original alt-mode, a Cheetah that he planned on scanning before the Tasmanian devil got in the way. He even daydreamed what his body would look like if he was successful!
Wild idea, what if they retool Tasmania Kid into Diver the frog?
Honestly
I never liked the idea of Slipstream being a Windblade repaint
never really worked, imho
I'd rather they'd wait until they've an Animated Starscream in their coffers and make her from that mold
or at least redesign Windblade to have a seeker-like transformation
Half of the molding on Thundertron is based on Cyberverse Thunderhowl, so I think that's the one we are gonna see on him.
the vast majority of it seems based on the 2012 thundertron design though with notable changes being the head sculpt, bigger shoulders pads without the movable claws and the claws on the robot mode hands but i could see them doing a thunderhowl remold of the new thundertron
I am so happy one of the big Transformers UA-camrs has brought up Anode as a possible Legacy figure.

I would like to see Hasbro give us Animated Lockdown and Siren/ Go Shooter from the new Rescue Bots Chase, so we can have our favorite bounty hunter/mercenary and the next modern take on a Headmaster junior to go with the Minerva we got.
A good retool for rescue bot's chase would definitely be downshift he's an obscure character who hasn't had a toy
I see one remold right away from beast wars, Silverbolt! Seriously just replace the head with a wolf head and it works surprisingly well!
There is a listing of a voyager bw silverbolt
I think if we do get Slipstream she’ll definitely be made from Windblade, I’m also hoping we get a new Barricade out of Chase
Also it feels like they could use Tigertron for Silverbolt
Maybe, but I personally think the Fuzor would have his own mold. We'll see.
For me a Lockdown retool from Chase looks like an EXTREME jump compared to Prime Cliffjumper after noticing all the tons of little details.
For instance, the detailing under the window in robot mode which if you look very closely if painted would look a lot like the headlights and bumper, then the four arm design at the wrist which could be painted black, the fact that about 3/4s of the car looks near identical to prime Cliffjumper’s car mode; just take off the siren, change the part with the grill on it which includes the very front tip of the hood and is the same color plastic as the head, and make it red.
Although I will admit, I definitely see how this design would work great for a Lockdown, I just think it would look FAR better as a Cliffjumper.
Also, this could be very slightly biased since my favorite character IS Cliffjumper.
Would love love love anode from windblade, but would also like Machinima universe Maxima.
I gotta get that chase
Haven’t seen anyone else say it, but I think Thundertron is an EASY retool for Cyberverse Thunderhowl
I assumed Lockdown from Axle grease due to the parts swap-ability, but Chase would be a good choice as well
I like the idea of reusing the upcoming Legacy Animated Universe Optimus Prime to get the wing blade version we never got out of Animated, but I would like to pitch a similar idea that would be so far out of left field, such a massive curveball that it just might work.
What if..Hasbro were to reuse Legacy Animated Universe Optimus Prime, and retool it enough that you could get the Project: Powermaster armor that we also never got?
I'm not sure they would directly do Animated Powermaster, since it's just a thing that was in a book and never made it even to the cartoon, let alone the toy shelves. However, after TJ said it, perhaps a leader class, or maybe commander, for the trailer/rear section, part of it could come off to form the Endgame armour, with other parts becoming some sort of battle station, then the rest could bulk out the super mode into something resembling the Powermaster.
I like the idea you pitched and I think that would most likely be the best way to handle it so that one could get both versions out of the same figure.
With Legacy being the line for anniversary figures and Animated being one of the series that can get new figures, now is most likely the best chance to reuse any Animated season 4 concepts that we never got.
I wouldn’t exactly put it at the commander price point (mainly because I kinda doubt that Hasbro would go 2 for 2 on Optimus Prime at that size class, but if I’m wrong, I’ll admit it), but I think somewhere between leader and commander would be the best option.
Tasmania Kid actually has one very obvious and easy repaint and it's Copy Tasmania Kid the black repaint and Windblade is easily can be repainted in to Maxima from Machinima's combiner wars series
9:07 Lug's transformation scheme was based on Rewind's. Anode's was based on Mindwipe's.
Not to mention that Windblade was also used for Maxima in Combiner Wars, Stiletto in Beast Wars: Uprising & Airazor's Cybertronian form.
OMG, yes Anode and Lug, please. (but chances are probably low).
Hehe, I also kind of wish that the rock bots just transform into weird rocks.
Honestly, the first thing I thought when I saw Chase was "SS86 Sunstreaker pretool" and I'm surprised no one else has thought the same.
Bumblebee as Wasp, or the entire Animated fandom likely riots. For that matter, I'm surprised you didn't hit the most obvious, lowest hangin' fruit
Yoooooo, I never knew there even *WAS* an Animated Toxitron. But yeah, I doubt a Nemesis Prime simply because Animated already used The Motormaster as the obligamatory black repaint there.
Thundertron is obvious: Alpha Trizer, just like last time. Ligerjack/Leobreaker would be incredible (but Nemesis Breaker would be more likely to be Generations Selects or Takara Tomy Mall), too. Cyberverse Cheetor is probably the best bet for a Cheetor from this mold.
Chase as Lockdown? Nah...I still see Gamer Edition Barricade as a potential G1ified Animated Lockdown. TFP Cliffjumper is just ridonkalonkalous, but nobody expected SS86-1 Jazz to be retooled into TFP Knockout. (And yet, they still haven't done the obligamatory further retool into TFP Smokescreen) BUT...maybe they could make Chase into somebody from the Unicron Trilogy. 🤷🏽♂️
Man I wish I thought of doing Username Ladiesman217 when getting my Patreon shoutout, I messed up with setting it up so I had to wait a month before making TJ shout out what I wanted to which happened when he went over Pulsecon.
Here's hoping we get a sg Megatron out of the core class
Based on what they brought up in the stream. My theory about what they could do with Thundertron is Zoids universe mechs.
I could see Slipstream as a retool of Windblade.
Thundertron is so much more likely bound to be a future Thunderhowl.
How about tigerhawk into beast wars silverbolt🤔 would need a bit of retooling but that would be an idea
I really want a cliffjumper from chase honestly the only ones i dont want is the animated ones since i dont like there look
Something you didint mention about the Armorizers is that Magneous has almost the same chest as Rock lords stoneheart. So I imagine that's a high probability
Wouldn't mind a retool of Tigerclaw into Beast Wars Silverbolt
I could see the chase mold being used to make a Barricade or a prime Cliffjumper
Tasmania Kid could get the Nemesis Leo Prime treatment as most of the Maximals from Beast Wars 2nd got cloned in that same episode like Leo Prime did
Love the idea for throttlebots but that mold only accounts for 4 of the 6, but again people had been wondering why the WFC Cliff mold never got used for them.
Mentioning Razorclaw: I noticed that on Tigerhawk's beast head that there is a tab there for something. Perhaps they'll also do a toy colored version of Tigerhawk with the blue and put that inevitable beast mode battle mask that might also come with Razorclaw.
Leo Breaker/Ligerjack was also my first go to thought of a potential alternate use for the Thundertron mold, another safe bet for it would be a Leo Prime/Convoy repaint since that has happened to Thundertron in the past
i want windblade to be remolded into lyzack but id also love an anode
I think what they should have done with the rocklords is let them transform into a rock mode but then also have a vehicle mode so they can homage the original alt forms. All rocklords could be triple changers but just the rock mode as a 3rd form.
-Besides Wasp and possibly Bug-Bite from Animated Bumblebee, a Glyph and Tap-Out would be cool to see.
-Cyberverse Windblade can be repainted into Maxima.
-Don't want Slipstream to be remolded from Windblade, but it is possible. They can go the Takara legends manga reason, as the turbines are interdimensional gyro-rotors. Which would explain how she got into the Legacy multiverse.
-A full firetruck Animated Optimus Prime would be great for Hasbro to do.
-Rescue Bots Chase can be repainted as Throttlebot Chase. Maybe even remolded as Wildwheel.
Yeah I made my axel grease some playmates with copies of towline and scraphook with some slight painting and also some females using the towline colors and scraphook body. And now I have all three of those 'bad junkions' with Detritus and Toxitron as a rogue junkion faction.
3:08/3:22 I wonder how this mold would look in more realistic colors?
I would love to see a three pack of Prowl, bumblebee, and Optimus in elite guard colors
I'm not sure about Beast Hunters Prime, the torso is bulkier but BH prime is sorta bulky all around. Also it'd be two possible red and blue Optimus with a jetpack from the same mold and directly from the animated mold I would prefer the endgame armour. Don't get me wrong, I would love them to do Beast Hunters Prime, that's a badass design, it was criminal how little time it got in the spotlight, and none of the figures in the Prime toyline did it justice, the voyager didn't really get the bulkiness right to me, the bigger one is a little tootall in vehicle mode and sacrifices the accurate jetpack for that dumb dragon head ring thing, the cyberverse one was obviously simplified and the second voyager was Hasbro copying the people who do the oversized KOs in pound stores, so it'd be cool to see a new figure, preferably either leader or even commanderr if it meant we got that gattling gun done right, but for that specific mold, if it came down the BH or Endgame, it has to be Endgame.
I can see Thunderhawk being retooled into BW Silverbolt. The transformation is sort of similar.
Will Beast Machines get any love this year? Will we see Nightscreen or Botanica or Obsidian? Or was the series so unloved that Hasbro doesn't want to remind people it existed?
We're supposedly getting Beast Machines Cheetor as a core class next wave, but there doesn't seem to be much else.
Silverbolt is supposed to be a voyager in wave 2 according to listings
I’d love to see a retool and recolor of Magmatron into Onyx Prime
Another good possible retool for the Thundertron mold could be Cyberverse Thunderhowl
Animated Motormaster is already confirmed. He has a toy listing along with the regular Optimus
4:28 What about Shattered Glass: Megatron (since that's what the original was based on)?
You don't actually have to do much to Tazmania Kid tp get a good looking dog, fox, or cat - mostly just shift the ears from the feet to the little panel that flips onto his back, and remodel the beast face a bit while you're at it, change the tail as well for a cat or maybe for a fox. I don't really see them doing another Cheetor-family character so soon when some of the WFCK versions are still shelf- and peg-warming and I'm not sure there ever even was a fox, so Snarl or Wolfang I guess? Maybe that racoon guy from BW II or Neo?
i think they won't do animated prime with an addon, but i do believe a third party will design one
I'd love a retool of Chase into evergreen Barricade imho, I just want a really good figure of that evergreen design of Barricade as opposed to another prowl-ish design
What if Chase was reused as a G1-ified MV1 Barricade?
Animated Prime as Thunderclash
Windblade is probably going to be Armada Thrust, to be released alongside his minion Tidal Wave.
Lockdown is what jumped out at me for chase as well....plus they indicated it was something we would be hyped for.
Thundertron is definitely getting a remold as Thunderhowl, and probably Go Prime as well.
The Core Tasmanian Devil would be best served as a highly detailed premium redeco homaging BWII by Takara Tomy; sold as a 2-pack with Lio Convoy. Fingers🤞😊
I'm really worried that Bumblebee will just get turned into Cliffjumper Prime. I'd rather it be Wasp, but knowing how Hasbro thinks, Cliffjumper is very likely to be the alternate head.
Yeah, I'm firmly in the Thundertron for Leobreaker camp. Sadly, I agree that he probably won't be able to form an arm at the Voyager price point, but either way I'd be happy with just a good Leobreaker toy. Plus, they did mention in the presentation that Thundertron had some liger elements to him...
I don't think Hasbro is willing to piss off the fanbase like that again. They butchered Arcee, gave mad disrespect to Knockout by making him a retool, and gave Bulkhead the completely wrong vehicle type. After all the deserved backlash they got for that they release Skyquake who's a lot more accurate. (Even if it still has G1 aspects cause Hasbro are G1 whores and can't help themselves) If anyone is gonna be retooled into Cliffjumper Chase is the best bet. The robot mode might not be completely accurate but it'll be better than all 3 of the original Legacy Prime figures robot modes AND 2 of the 3's vehicle modes.
@@TheDaxter11 I meant Cliffjumper Prime as in Animated Cliffjumper, who I believe was a Prime in that series. Sorry, I should've realized that would be confusing.
@@OptimusPhillip Oh. Oh yeah shit he was a Prime in that series. I thought you just grammard wrong and meant Prime Cliffjumper lol, my bad.
I don't mind Axelgrease's color scheme for one reason. She's a decepticon, the rest are autobots. My hope is that if they release more decepticon junkions they share that color scheme
Hey TJ are you willing to consider a doing a video on Hasbro’s manufacturing process how retools are done and what the machinery looks like and how the paint apps are done
Or will the evil algorithm gods shoot you down on that one
Just an idea 🤷♂
Ppl are referencing the 1st edition Cliffjumper as a chase retool. They are more or less, the same. Look at the toy, not the show model.
I still think it would be a better idea to do a Lockdown from the Axelgrease mould since that’s already a Mad Max car and if it’s a selects release or something you can swap out his arms and for the hook or the chainsaw like in Animated, which is something no other toy is going to be able to do
Lockdown's whole shtick was upgrading himself with parts or weapons stolen from other Transformers, so having him be made from one of the current Junkions would probably be the easiest way to replicate that.
I can totally see a movieverse shatter out of that windblade. I know she wouldn't be a triple changer. But I'm fine with her just being a jet! Also someone on Twitter said that thundertron could be remolded into cyberverse thunderhowl!
Surprised you didn't mention for Thundertron, Thunderhowl for Cyberverse, some of the details almost seem lifted from him, implying Thundertron is the pretool.
Windblade as Maxima
Am I the only one secretly hoping for a killmaster toy
There's another possibility for repainting Tasmania Kid, TJ. He got a black and grey clone in the anime from the same machine that created Copy Convoy (AKA Dark Ember/Nemesis Lio Convoy)
In this episode, TJ proposes a “Universe 1.0” 2.0!
I soooo need a slipstream
i hate that too on color schemes that don't match the rest of the combining team. I'll never understand Breakdown.
I'm surprised no one has proposed the idea of Thundertron being retooled into Cyberverse Thunderhowl, that's the first thing that came to my mind
We are getting motormaster in wave 4
Personally to me Chase seems like an easier choice for a Throttlebot than Animated Bumblebee, unless they do a lot of serious remolding, chase having the more squared-off vehicle mode and the lights at his feet makes more sense to me is all
RID2001 Gasskunk is a very easy retool of Tazmania Kid, just swap the tail and head and Hasbro would say close enough. I could have sworn we were promised a unique mold Slipstream a few months ago.The Motormaster is already showing up in retail listing, as The Motormaster. Chase could easily be a Aligned/evergreen universe Barricade, Axlegrease is more likely to be Lockdown, the hook is part of the mold, the spikes are part of the mold, the forearm weapon is part of the mold, all they would need would be a new head and a fake chest remold.
Prime Cliffjumper PLEASE 🙏
Thundertron has features that match Cyberverse Thunderhowl.
So That's my first most obvious choice for a repaint/minor retool.
