Animated Blurr is one of the best Animated figure i've seen. Although i'm not liking the hood-weapon thing.

Universe Inferno, Hound, are Cyclonus are superb! Can't wait to get my hands on them.

Hound is so much better than Binaltech Hound.

I wished they done something more than just simply recolor Starscream. This figure is not bad. But still got a lot of room for improvements. Like for example, find a way to fix the big hole under the jet mode, and redesign the legs to give them true "Classics-grade" articulation. Without building the whole figure from ground up.

Well, I've just had to put a freeze on my TF spending for a while (good thing my City Commander set was already ordered), but I've GOT to find a way to own these things--they all look amazing. Cyclonus, Hound, Inferno, Animated Blurr and Swindle...heck, even the legends "minispies" are all gold!

I wonder if McDonald's is hiring for the night shift...

Why is Slag named Snarl?

I also wish they would do the other two rainmakers to complete that set and add some new seekers to the lineup.

According to Wikipedia, "slag" is a british swear word. I will not go into detail on that, but simply put, the chance of seeing "Slag" on an impressionable kid's toy is N-I-L.

Speaking of which, wanna bet the original Snarl will be called "Striker"?

Of course, why not change two names, when you only need to change one!!! Makes perfect sense! 8-}

As I said, I think HASBRO is just going to phase out the whole stegosaur dinobot.

Biggest surprise has to be The Last Autobot. Definate, definate purchase. I'm really hoping that the production version looks as good as the test shot. The wealth of moulded detail on the figure looks to be brought out really well by those paint aps.

I think we said that about every Vector Prime product picture that HASBRO/Takara put out.

I didn't double post, I answered to two thoughts on separate occasions.

Is there a problem with that?

I'm all over the new mold figures. Cyclonus, Hound, Inferno, Beachcomber & Brawn are awsome. And the Starscream repaint looks fantastic with the closer to G1 paint job and properly painted head. Universe (Classics 2.0) are shaping up to be just awsome figures!

I agree. Universe/Classics line is awesome. But only on the new molds, or molds designed specifically for this line.. I'm not sold on all those Universe repaints from other lines.

You’ve had too much caffeine lately, and because of your behavior, I will report this to the shogun and see to your perma- douching.

Anyone see the pictures of Hot Shot and Dinobot? (Awesome.)
After seeing Hot Shot, you'll wonder why they didn't just release this version of the figure from the get go.

Dinobot isn't perfect, but he's good. I might even pick him up.

Also shown was Wheelie (yeah, you read that right), and Warpath.

In the Universe line? Interesting. Haven't seen those yet. Any links?

No links available because the pictures he's talking about are exclusive to the newest TFClub issue and aren't offically mass released yet. They show Smokescreen, Hot Shot, Dinobot, Legends Warpath, Hot Rod & Wheelie. They all look really cool except for Dinobot being mistransformed. But even he looks awesome.

No one will post pics or even links to them on this site lest we incur MODWRAITH.

Ok, Warpath looks like about the best thing there, and I don't like the H-tank look. :-(

News Credits: 767 · Sat Oct 04, 2008 11:57 am

That Hot Shot looks awesome!
Dinobot will look better I guess, Wheely isn't bad.

Mucho gracias, señor! You have an amazing gift!

So all the G1 revivals are Legends.

Wheelie can actually fit into my Classics collection. Maybe a bit of complaint will be the stiff unbending arms.

Hot Rod is quite nice for a Legend.

Why is Warpath's tank not a tank? I hope it's just mistransformed.

Hotshot and Dinobot looks mighty good. Especially Hotshot. Not so kiddie design this time. Nice.

Looks as if he has grown up.
