So I've been doing this thing where I take toys that don't have fiction and try to come up with characterization for them, along with giving same character redecoes new identities and repurposing old updates of characters that have been supplanted and giving them new identities and such. I dunno if it's too fan-ficcy for SA, but I thought I'd share them here, see if they interested anyway.

I'm gonna try to make this a regular thing, so if it's well received, I'll post what I do at the end of every week.

Sounds like a fun idea to me, I've posted some fanfic sort of ideas in the past here as well, maybe I'll dig those up

Rattrap is the guy who asks you if you "found any new positions" when you get back from fraternizing with the enemy and hangs out in Cybertronian strip clubs, having literal balls is extremely on-brand

I suppose I should ask if anyone has any fictionless characters or same character redecoes you guys might’ve always wanted a personality for. I’m wanting to do five of these a week so I need suggestions.

Old Classic-style toys that have been supplanted work too. For instance, I have a concept for GDO Springer as a RID 2001 version of the character.

But slightly less lovely than Siege. Seven or eight more seasons of this and they might reach decent.

I don't know about the rest of the country, but nothing beyond Earthrise wave 1 ever reached saturation here. I saw parts of wave 2 a few times, but nothing from wave 3 in stores. It's not like stuff was shelfwarming though, it just seemed like everyone kept restocking wave 1. Though when I say everyone I really mean Target, since I won't go to Walmarts unless I'm hunting an exclusive, and no one else is left around here selling toys.

At least Thrust is now hitting en masse. I still have an unfulfilled preorder I plan to keep and offer to anyone on here who needs it though, with preferential treatment to foreign goons since who knows if you'll get the opportunity. for Thrust elsewhere.

ROTF Thrust is a favorite of mine, he'd be good for that, especially taking into account some of his odd aspects like having a jet alt-mode with no weapons at all(even Autobot fliers usually have some, so a Decepticon without any is particularly odd), or his odd robot mode aesthetic which to me at least gives some implications about how he fights(I've made comparisons between him and the Byarlant Custom from Gundam Unicorn* before)

*I mentioned this a couple weeks ago but yeah Transformers would definitely benefit from stealing how Gundam does it's better animated fights

I've always thought that G19 Ratchet would work well as a completely separate character, especially with the faction switch. Maybe some version of Flatline or Scalpel?

That guy already got a bio as the movie verse version of Thrust, but how do you feel about me repurposing his recolor?:

So it's kinda odd isn't it that Galvatron showed up in Earthwise but he has no action figure coming out or under the Earthwise subtitle isn't it? Most other characters even if they showed up for an episode have a figure.

Unless he's suppose to return in the next Netflix part and he'll have a form there.
