Unlucky for some-Encore #13

Well if I'm being honest, I'd like them to release a Monstructor reissue boxset. Yes, yes..I realize you guys are thinking "why!!??", but it was indeed one of my favorites as a child and I'd love to be able to once again have one at an affordable price. Of course I know this will likely never happen, but that would be my wish.

My other big wish would be a reissue of G1 Bludgeon. Another one of my favorites, more for his comic character than the actual toy, but as a kid they were one and the same more or less. I could see this one maybe happening in the west at any rate due to the comic, but I don't know how popular the character was in Japan, I'm guessing not very.

Barring those wishes, a reissue of Gnaw the Sharkticon would be nice to me. I realize their is a KO out these days, but an affordable official reissue would be really nice for me.

Wolverine a better example?

David Beckham?

Transcendental character identification.

has jazz been re released?

Yes Jazz was Encore #8 hes not strictly G1 accurate as the Martini Porsche bits now say Agent Meister buts its close enough.
They have also dragged him into the 21st Century by using pre-applied Tampographs for the decals rather than stickers probably because of how much of a 'mare the ones for the back arches are to apply.(same goes for Stepper/Ricochet as well)

Maybe they'd be more popular in western countries?

Cliffjumper wrote:The key to the Star Convoy reissue is that he's Convoy. It's difficult to find a comparison, but basically Convoy is considerably more popular than Transformers itself over there (again, it goes back to the long tradition of Animes with a single, starring robot - Tetsujin-28, Mazinger, Combattra, Voltes V, etc, etc.)...

Sadly, the merger appears to have saddled Takara with some businessmen. This is why there seem to be more Convoy-related releases than ever at the moment.

So does that mean no Grandus or Sky Garry? Me want Triple combination Battlestar attack...

Trypticon would be a nice reissue, if only since the bastard came with a bevy of small parts meant to swivel in his motors! Bludgeon might not be a bad stopgap for them either in terms of how much money they'd probably stand to make, especially if it had a sword this time..

And the winner is.......none of us.
Not one one of us managed to peg TB or Hoist as #13 but Im glad TB is getting another release as my one is missing all his accessories and has had to borrow bits from one of my Hoists just for something to put in the holes at the end of his arms.

Guys does anyone know if there is a possibility of them reissueing the Dinobots or the Constructicons? I'd love to have them both.

Other combiners I would also like to see and maybe some G1 cars.

Unfortunately the dinobots and constructicons have been reported as destroyed or missing iirc.

Dunno bout the dinos, but i thought somewhere stated that only the piranhacon and i think abominus moulds survived, though we do know Predaking survived due to the reissue. Not sure bout Abimnus though. Might be wrong on that.

Menasor is gone?

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Combaticons would have survived (I'd imagine) since they were used in Car Robots, RID*2 and Universe.

Devvy's gone, Menasor's gone...What about the Autobot combiners? Are Superion, Defensor, and Computron gone? What about Monstructor or Japanese combiners like Road Caesar and Liokaiser?

RID Scourge · Post by **RID Scourge** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 2:26 am

Chances are that anything that hasn't been reissued by now probably won't be, unless Takara manages to pull a rabbit out of their hat.

I think I might get this set. If they do 14, I would hope for something like Fort Max or another base class type.

Sunstreaker2 · Post by **Sunstreaker2** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 4:03 am

Superion was used in G2, as were Road Caesar and 4/6 of Liokaiser...I would KILL for a Reissue Liokaiser.

Cliffjumper · Post by **Cliffjumper** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 5:36 am

Seeing as Grimlock, Snarl and Slag were reissued for G2 (unlike the Motorvators or Rescue Force, which were G1 toys...), there's plenty of chance for the moulds to have gone missing since then. Similarly, Wheeljack, Sunstreaker, the Protectobots, Aerialbots and Stunticons came out again the same time the Road Caesar/Liokaiser moulds were used in Europe.

Aha tnx R.I.D. Scourge.

Well ok then it's just waiting to see what Takara brings out next.
