Top 5 most wanted Transformers Studio Series Autobots vol 3
5. Crosshairs
Coming up first on my next most wanted Autobots from the Studio Series line would be Crosshairs, one of the new Autobots introduced to us when the series underwent its soft reboot. His design has been a tough one for Hasbro to nail down in the past thanks to his "trench coat," however, with the toyline somehow figuring out a way to do a decent Galvatron figure I think they can finally figure out Crosshair's design.
4. Evasion mode Optimus Prime
Sticking in the fourth film of the franchise for another slot will be me talking about the Evasion mode Optimus, a great callback to the G1 square truck before the Bumblebee movie would eventually come along and outright give us that original G1 form. This design is much more in keeping with Optimus' live action Bayverse design in robot mode, albeit with the kibble flavor of that G1 inspired truck.
3. 1986 Brawn
At this point we've nearly checked off every character from the original 1986 movie but there's one glaring omission that really sticks out to me! Brawn is one of the first characters we see in the movie during the shocking slaughter aboard the Autobot shuttle, and holds the significance of being the first unexpected death the movie would throw our way! Studio Series delivered a bombastic rendition of the character based on his Bumblebee movie appearance, which has me even more excited to one day get a new G1 inspired figure.
2. Mudflap and Skids
While they are not the most appealing characters in the movie universe, they had their entertaining moments and are two characters who have some nominal potential for the toyline! I personally love their ice cream truck combination, and am a complete sucker for combiners! They could be packaged together in one single deluxe release, similar to the Arcee sisters all coming together, or I think they could even fit as Core class released individually!
1. Que
Just like the Decepticon who is headlining the top spot in my most wanted Decepticons vol 3 post, Que is one character from the movie I'm baffled hasn't been redone in the Studio Series so far! The line's initial promoted focus was that they would give figures primarily to characters who had never had figures before, or who needed good updates, and Que certainly fits that. His original release was cancelled and impossible to find afterwards, and given the time since that original release I think Hasbro can do a lot better and give us one of the last Autobots from the original Bayverse trilogy.
