The War for Cybertron game figures in Hasbro's Transformers Studio Series line have been admittedly hit or miss in terms of quality. Some like Optimus and Sideswipe are very well rounded, whereas others like Barricade leave much to be desired. Overall I am happy to see this sublime of the series continue, and we've gotten lots of characters from this first game I was hoping to see such as the Seekers, Megatron, and Bee. While finishing the 86' movie seems to be a priority at the moment, I hope War for Cybertron isn't left to the wayside as these are five more figures I'd appreciate updates for in modern times!
5. Zeta Prime
I say "updates" but in the case of Zeta Prime there is no prior figures to update on! This is where Studio Series really shines, taking it's original mission statement into account by producing figures for characters who have never had such. Zeta was a very cool personality in the game, providing a much more aggressive Autobot leader for Megatron to prevail over, and one whose blue and gold coloration could really shine.
4. Jazz
In times past the War for Cybertron design for Jazz was made using the Sideswipe mold, which I think works as a stretch but I'd much prefer this epic Jazz design to get a mold geared towards this specific design. This may just be my favorite Jazz design of all time, surmounting the 2007 movie design which I adored growing up. While he was a simple cameo in the first game, we have seen figures made for less (Cliffjumper and his DS appearance for example) and I'm always down for more Jazz.
3. Jetfire, Air Raid, Silverbolt
With the Aerialbolts on everyone's mind in the collecting community with the recent Superion combiner release it could be a perfect time to put out this trio. Jetfire, Air Raid, and Silverbolt spearheaded a very fun aerial mission that ultimately turned out to be played within Trypticon himself! With the Decepticon Seekers already filled out we are in need of the Autobot sky support, and then possibly a Titan class WFC Trypticon down the line...
2. Soundwave
This is one I'm frankly shocked hasn't become a reality yet. Soundwave is and will always be one of the most popular Transformers of all time, and for the WFC sublime to be now over ten figures deep without a Soundwave is not something I expected to see. They can take the Leader route as they have within recent Soundwaves and include Rumble and Laserbeak, both of whom had great WFC designs as well.
1. Warpath
Its been a while since we got a Warpath of any kind from the Transformers brand, and what better way to get the trademark back out than to give us one of the game's best Autobot designs! With the uniquely shaped tank barrel, his heftier size, and perfect pairing with the Optimus and Ironhide we already have, this Warpath designs is begging to be made as an action figure and to this point has never happened!
