"Universe 3.0" AKA wacky redeco ideas
Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2020 8:59 am
Remember when the Transformers brand was so massively popular that Hasbro couldn't actually churn out enough new molds to meet demand, so they dusted off some old ones and reissued them in new colours? And then they did it again? I would remember but those toys never came out in the UK, so alas I missed out. But anyway, I always thought Universe was a really neat idea for a line, and created some awesome toys. So, fellow Seibertronians, let's suppose the brand goes through another golden age and they do it AGAIN- what crazy redecos would you want to be made?
The only restrictions are that it has to be an existing mold (though for the sake of fun let's say that figures can have new heads) and the deco must be in some way significantly changed- no straight reissues of existing figures. Any mold is available, including previously worn-out molds (all mold degradation has been reversed by magic). You can make any character, be it an existing one or a new one, in any deco. Continuity is not an issue as they're going for the classic "Warriors across time and space have been drawn into a battle for the fate of the multiverse" excuse plot.
So, what would YOU make?
A few ideas from myself would include:
>Megatron from Energon Bulkhead (as seen here).
>Likewise, Optimus Prime from Energon Landmine.
>The CW/POTP/Selects/whatever they're categorized as Seacons in that one exclusive redeco scheme the original toys got done up in (Timelines was it?).
>Nemesis Prime from the LG Lio Convoy (the one done from Alpha Trion).
>Virulent Clones from Deluxe TR Repugnus.
