If you're wondering why I'm asking such a random question, I'm planning to make some art depicting what Transformers characters would look like if their alt modes were vehicles from LEGO City, and Megatron is by far the character I'm having the hardest time picking an alt mode for. LEGO has a strict rule against making military vehicles - aka what Megatron usually transforms into - so I need really creative.

There's just an empty space between his hips, it looks really weird once you notice it.

I know his toy is from Japan and all the writing was changed to English for the Transformers release, but it still has the design of a Japanese Highway Patrol car.

She's a superhero, part of a team called the Superiors, and she's obviously the muscle of the team (and she can fly).

I'm not very good at copying styles, but I tried my best to recreate the game's style.

I mean, yes, this guy has even less screentime than Kranix, but... let's be honest, knowing Hasbro's obsession with reusing molds over and over again, this guy getting a toy is an inevitability. If he's a mass retail figure too, I'm throwing something.

I'm not exactly saying I WANT this, but I still feel like it'll happen at some point because Hasbro's stupid.

I'm not creative enough to decide myself.

I recently got Studio Series Que, and for my first Bayverse figure in a LOOOOONG time, I actually quite enjoy him! Wish the ankle tilt wasn't so weird, but otherwise it's not too bad imo.

I know that erosion is a thing, but this is a MASSIVE space cruiser - think about how big human space ships are, imagine how big they'd have to be for GIANT ROBOTS - sticking out the side of a volcano like a soar thumb, it's seems highly unlikely with how thirsty for knowledge some humans are that this thing would go unnoticed until 1984!

Personally, I've never really cared about Prowlestator, but something about Thundercracker as Superion's arm looks really cool to me.

These are the only 3 Diaclone figures (aside from the Constructicons, who I'll do a separate post for) that still haven't become Transformers - Red Mirage, Blue Hoist, and Red Skids (not Reboost, the other one).

I genuinely have no idea what this deco comes from or if Dr. Wu pulled this out of their ass.

G1 Slapdash: I love him for literally no reason.
G1 Defensor: My 2nd favorite combiner after the boring choice.
Rescue Bots Blades and Boulder: I will not rest until the Rescue Bots are complete!
IDW Liege Maximo: Way more my thing than the G2 design that we got for AotP.
Nitro Zeus: One of the most noticeably empty slots on Studio Series (and yet they still feel the need to make more G1 shit), fun character.
Anode and Lug: Where are the trans lesbos Hasbro?
Animated Megatron: The best Megatron.
Diaclone Red Mirage: The coolest missing Diaclone repaint.
Shattered Glass Goldbug: I NEED one using the Legacy United Hot Shot mold!

I really like how Wheeljack looks in the cartoon, but whenever a toy of him is made to look exactly like it - like the Legacy/Studio Series or MP-20+ - I think it looks really bland.

On the other hand, Swerve has one of the worst cartoon designs of them all, but whenever a toy is made of G1 Swerve - like the AotP figure or Fans Toys Diverge - I am irresistibly drawn to it.

I'm not asking if you like this mold (I know a lot of people don't), I'm asking if you think it will happen. Mainly because I want a Hubcap for the sake of having all the Minibots and I personally prefer the 86 Bee mold of the ER Cliffjumper mold.

Titans Return Overlord is the immediate first thought for me. The Titan Master gimmick isn't as intrusive as other figures (no hollowed out accessories and you don't have to remove the Headmaster), he's got ankle tilts before they were normalized, and he isn't as stylized as most TR figures were, he's pretty faithful to his G1 design.

I see a lot of people say Nexus Prime looks generic, but I think Skids and Crosshairs could be seen as geneeri-bots too.
