Reskin ideas

Hi, I'm new to the forums and from what I've read, I think new bots is not likely/possible due to various reasons, but 'Reskins' are more likely. I'm a huge fan of the Shattered Glass universe, I'd love to get some redecos of Optimus, Megatron, Sideswipe and Starscream in their SG colours. Also Classics Cliffjumper from Bumblebee.

Are Reskins possible or does that cause glitches in the game in the same way as adding bots? What ideas do you guys have?

    Reskins are possible. The problem is that new glitches occur every time a new Bot/ feature is added, which further detracts from the game's fun. It'd be recommended to first deal with the majority of the glitches the game currently experiences before adding new skins.

    Also Kabam is a lot more focused on the other Marvel game (we don't use its name here for fear of repercussions), and don't give this game too much attention as a result.

    Maybe they will after that game finishes its launch or do you think that they are gonna be fixing stuff in that game cuz hey its kabam we're talking about

    Thanks for that info, I guess I won't get my hopes up.

    Just for the heck of it...

    I'd like to see a G1 Ironhide as a reskin of Ratchet (of course).

    Maybe a Brawler class bot with a theme of building up anger and engaging in high risk combat, but also being hard to kill. Might be interesting to be able to switch between two different survival states, one that increases armor and one that gives a repair option. Key those to opponent's Power or something.

    I dunno, others have done much better at workshopping new bots, and there's probably already a good G1 Ironhide kit on the bot request thread

    Sunstreaker

    Gearhead

    Go check out this-
    https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Body-type
    (also fun fact slipstream never featured in the G1 cartoon at all)

    Some people theorise that she got her colour pallet from that one episode in g1 but that could be false. From what I could remember it was more pastel like than the purple she usually has today

    TECHNICALLY there was going to be an Animated Slipstream toy to promote Animated before the idea got scrapped
    (Not guaranteed to be a fact, BTW. Pretty sure I heard it from a Chris Mcfeely video)

    @Firebot I'm just kidding around, all suggestions are good suggestions. Also @Cr4zy_Wheeljack points out, a proper TFA Slipstream would've been a seeker too

    Potentially there are tons of reskins possible. I have zero problems if thats the direction F2F goes in, just hope we get some!
