This comes as a surprise to most, but Ozformers member Griffin-of-oz has posted some pictures of the Austrailian Toy Fair. He only has a few pictures, but what he has taken shows us alot!

This is our first look at Ultra Class Universe Silverbolt, as well as the new Marvel Crossovers. In the pictures we see Wolverine, Venom, Grey Hulk, Human Torch and Spider Man. We also get a small peek at what Universe Sideswipe may look like Transformed (Universe Sunstreaker)

Griffin-of-oz has been kind enough to share pictures with everyone over at TFW2005. To check them out, click here

Man when are they gonna make a classics gestault...or will I have to get all the pieces in Botcon '09

[woosh]

oooooh, i'm so gonna love VENOM'S alt mode.

[astig]

WHOAH! COOL! Sunstreaker posed as his brother Sideswipe! i can't wait for classics 2.0! So, is "ultra class" the new "voyager class" or is it bigger?

also excited to see the marvel crossover TF's. I wonder what they would think of next? WWE crossovers?...Batista transforming to a tank?...hmmm

[jazzrules]

Silverbolt eh? Is that a new mould or is it an old one? Looks pretty cool either way.

As for the potential Sideswipe, he looks a bit odd due to the fact that his head seems to be set too far back

[Zeds]

Long live the universe line!

[astig]

it would be great if hasbro will make all the members of the aerialbots in ultra class, then enable them to combine into a really big ultra-ultra classs SUPERION!!! that would be cool!

[Tekka]

I would imagine if he did combine the limbs would be small Voyagers or less. It would still make for a huge combiner.

Still that is an awesome looking Silverbolt, definitely preferable to Powerglide.

[Magnimus]

Wow, Sunstreaker does not at all live up to the promises made by the prototype images. He looks terrible. I mean, Classics Bumblebee has a lot of yellow too, but he doesn't look like a hunk of unpainted yellow plastic.

[--B--]

Had we heard anything about Silverbolt yet, or is that really new news? Maybe he was supposed to be unveiled at BotCon?? I found it surprising that Onslaught and Powerglide were alone in that size, usually it's three to a case, so a third mold makes sense.

Can't wait to see better pics of all of them!!!

That's actually a prototype of Sideswipe.

[First-Aid]

DOes anyone else notice on the back of the Wolverine TF box in the lower right hand corner...what looks to be a "grey Hulk" repaint of the Hulk's tank mode?

[[JRX]]

it would be great if hasbro will make all the members of the aerialbots in ultra class, then enable them to combine into a really big ultra-ultra classs SUPERION!!! that would be cool!

Agreed!
...of course I can hear the conversation with my girlfriend already...
"Either Ultra-ultra Class Superion goes, or I go!!!"
Decisions, decisions...

You guys might want to check out the original posting here:

For clarification on somethings.

Apparently, as I suspected looking at the pics, there was no toy in the Silverbolt box.

[Dead Metal]

Wow that is awesome, Venom WILL be eating some TF brains!

Silverbolt, cool I just hope these guys will combine, I mean him and Onslought.
I'm so hyped for this line, the Marvel TFs not so much, except Venom!

[Pot Bot]

man, i need to find more display room, every time i work out where each and every one will go, they go and announce more toys lol

[Flint]

Silvervbolt looks quite good. More Money from me to Hasbro this year...

[Wheeljack35]

Silverbolt is in the classics line?

I wish I could of seen his robot mode

I'm liking these Marvel Transformers and I'm not even a Marvel fan

[shadowsfm]

hey its silverbolt
i guess hes a new mold with lights and sounds, must have!
yellow sideswipe does look odd, i hope they give sideswipe and sunstreaker racing stripes or something, plain yellow and plain red is boring
wolverine looks good

Actualy it is Sunstreaker - just with his chest transformed like Sideswipe's will be.

[Nekoman]

Silverbolt needed an update, good choice. Now lets hope he will still combine.

[munkimus prime]

I definately want that silverbolt he looks nice.

[Talous]

Not much to look at but I like what I see. Looks like I'll be breaking the 200 mark on my collection this year.

[Autobot032]

Silverbolt looks fantastic. (I wasn't expecting this bit of news!)

We now have Onslaught and Silverbolt. To say that Combiners are out of the question, is just silly. Do they absolutely have to be Aerialbots or Combaticons? No.

I'm really liking how C/U2.0 is shaping up.

If Animated and C/U2.0 run the length of a normal line...they'll run right into TF2 summer 2009...if that happens, we're all going to be broke and taking out second mortgages, loans, etc. lol

Fact of the matter is...both lines are going to get the short end of the stick in favor of TF2. Just wait and see.

[Autobot Jazz]

Didn't expect Silverbolt, but it's pretty cool, though not sure yet if I'll pick him up or not. I wonder if this means that we'll see any other Gestalt team leaders like Motormaster. Sideswipe looks pretty cool, but I hope the final design makes him look more G1ish w/ a differnt head mold, a shoulde rocket and a red paint scheme.
