Site sponsor BigBadToyStore has listed three new Generation 1 reissue pre-orders:

• Ultra Magnus
• Astrotrain
• Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor

These are likely being reissued for the Asian market, but good opportunity for those who may have missed these great figures in the past.

I suppose if you're extraordinarily nostalgic, but I'd prefer the articulation and transformation of Classics Astrotrain. Only re-issues I am looking forward to are the city-formers (Fort. Max., etc.)

Agree. And enough Optimus Prime toys already. Next thing you'll see is an utility belt around its waist.

Hasbro didn't already do an Astrotrain reissue, right? Still got my original, so I'd only be interested if he was a more show-accurate repaint, like that really-sought-after Takara reissue. Still, glad they're doing one new reissue...I think

And I'm guessing Magnus still has the same firing safety missiles? No new launcher alteration?

10 years ago, this was huge news. Now? Even if you missed both trucks and the last Optimus and Soundwave reissues, has their price gone up on the secondary market? Is this in anticipation of the U.S. Supreme court killing all secondary markets this coming Monday? (Seriously, that case needs to get SOPAed; everyone, do your homework!)

Supreme Court? They are going ahead with that? I thought that was a no-brainer. How can they say we can't re-sell something we bought legitimately. Would that eliminate garage sales to (rhetorical)? But, this isn't a legal forum so.....


I miss the Ultra Magnus car-carrier mode, but the bot mode was horrible and might as well have been a statue. If someone would do a carrier, a-la FansProject-like, for the Classics/Henkei Magnus I'd be all over it.

Power master Optimus.Yes

Yes they did. It was a Hasbro Toy shop exclusive and featured the black train/white shuttle deco.

Ive already got all 3 of those but wouldnt mind gettig astrotrain cause mines pretty banged up, but that price is way to high. Dont think i paid that much for the TRU power master prime reissue.

Dear Astrotrain...

Please be purple and grey.

Are these Hasbro or Takara? Either way all three have seen reissues before. Isn't it time we got some reissues of rarer figures? Liokaiser would be a good start...
