I usually wait until most of the characters on the first most wanted list are made before I release a second list; however, there's so much thinking I've done about this line and having many of the figures myself now I've thought of several more characters that I'm very much hoping make it into this trilogy of lines over the next three years. Very quickly, the Siege line has become a top rate G1 toyline, with two more years of this War for Cybertron trilogy to follow. Aside from those characters in my first list, here are another of my top 5 most wanted Transformers figures from the War for Cybertron toyline trilogy!

Top 5 most wanted WFC Trilogy figures
Honorable mention- Haslab or titan class Unicron
For a line focusing on G1, this would be the ultimate release in terms of characters that sorely need a new figure. There are a couple of outlets that could give us a truly massive, towering Unicron figure and while an in-scale figure would never be possible, there are some ways to get a version out that would overshadow the other figures in the line. Most obviously, Hasbro could use their new kickstarter program, Hasbrolab, to fund a figure as large as they want. That would be the most ideal way for Unicron to get a definitive figure; however, a titan class sized Unicron could also be an option and would similarly tower over lower tiered size classes. Either way, Unicron is due for a new figure.

5. Sunstreaker
Moving onto my actual top five. We got Sideswipe in wave 1 of the toyline, with no mention or rumor of Sunstreaker to follow. I remember these two best as twins in the original show, usually by one another's side, and while Sideswipe has soared above his brother in popularity in recent years, I still think a Sunstreaker figure should be released to go alongside his bro. In a toyline focusing so heavily on the G1 cast, this figure could already be a likely candidate for the next couple years. I'll be waiting.

4. Wheeljack
This guy is one of the most iconic and popular characters of the original show, with a fun personality, and a creative gimmick of his "ears" lighting up every time he spoke. There was an initial fan vote for characters to appear in the line, and while Mirage beat out Wheeljack, I'm still hoping that the hapless inventor can make it into the line, because he is very much a needed part of any G1 collection. Not to mention, he was one of the only Autobots seen on Cybertron before the group left for Earth, meaning he has a Cybertronian form for the toyline to pull for. Just saying.

3. Movie/Season three heroes
We already have Ultra Magnus, with Springer set for release later this year. Their figure are looking just as awesome as the rest of the line, and it is making me very hopeful for figures of the other movie/season 3 heroes that we were introduced to later in the show. Blurr, Kup, and Arcee could all do with newer, more accurate molds; all of them sporting Cybertronian modes in the show that would work perfectly in the toyline as we've already seen with Springer and Ultra Magnus. I am also wanting a new Hot Rod figure, even though we just received the Power of the Primes leader class Rodimus. I think this line as the potential to make an even more show accurate version of the character, and my OCD just wants all the characters to fit in the same toyline aesthetic.

2. Coneheads
In the span of the Siege toyline, we're receiving all three of the G1 season 1 Seekers with Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp (leaked for future release), along with the possiblity of a repaint by the name of Red Wing. All this release of Seekers have me wanting the season 2 Seekers next, the Coneheads! While they wouldn't be simple repaints and need extra work, Thrust, Dirge, and Ramjet are figures that I expect to come next and I'm ready for them to beef up the Decepticon army.

1. Commander Class Tidal Wave
From the moment that Jetfire was revealed with the line's new "Commander class," my mind instantly flew to the Armada Decepticon, Tidal Wave. This size class would be a perfect fit for him, who wasn't as big as a titan, and would be too small in the leader class size point. The reveal of the leader class Optimus based on Transformers: Cybertron gives me hope that the Unicron trilogy is on Hasbro's radar, and that Tidal Wave is on their list for commander class character possibilities. This character towered over others in the show, and with Jetfire releasing the Decepticons will need their own commander class figure to battle the Autobot giant. Tidal Wave is the perfect choice in my opinion, and hopefully Hasbro thinks so as well.
