i keep having questions!!!!

my most recent involves the universe ironhide: why does his head look like its pointing down. i mean it looks like he had a bad day and he's all sad. is this just because its an early mold and they're gonna re work it. i noticed this in the hasbro "official" shots and the pics from botcon. i had a problem similar to this with my movie ironhide, maybe its a trend...

Most likely he's not transformed properly or posed poorly. Hasbro has a bad habit of misstransforming their own figures.

I'd rather have just Prime and pay $40. I was going to get one for my 5-year-old daughter, but not at $70.

Just about everything else looks great!

He's Cybertron Evac as Protectobot Blades.

BOOM. I'm getting him for sure. Is he going to be an exclusive?

I was going to. With the announcement of Classics Springer, I don't know now. I'm definitely getting Springer, and I don't know if I need 3 of that mold.

I hope Titanium Skywarp isn't too limited edtion, I'll be pissed if yet another series goes by without me completing the Seeker Trio...

WW Grimlock getting a release is the icing on the cake.

And what a cake!

If only blades was more white and less red, and Powerglide was more red and less white...

I have to say, as amazing as all the upcoming figures look, I was most impressed with Cyclonus. He was just beautiful. We're all in for quite a treat over the next year, and we're all going to be flat broke.

Looks great, but where is my movie leader Bonecrusher!!!

I really want that to happen.

[zero-kaiser's YouTube Channel] · Sun Apr 27, 2008 5:28 am

personally im really excited.. new classics 2.0/universe... MP grimlock in the works.. itll be nice to go to TrU and not just see a whole display of movie camshaft's or the odd leader class they had kicking about.. or, as seems to have been the case with my local woolworths for MONTHS!!.. all theyve had in is legends movie megatron..

ill hold my hands up and admit.. i let out quite the frustrated groan at the sight of so many repaints this early on.. but.. some of them have grown on me.. and.. as someone else further up said, itll give me a chance to get some of those molds that i missed last time round.. cybertron for example..

universe silverbolt is one of those figures i dont thing photos will do justice.. i recall the first time i saw movie leader class prime photos online my instant reaction was "what a peice of crap!!" yet when i saw it in the flesh so to speak.. it litterally rocked my socks clean off..

im not saying everyone should give all the upcoming things a go.. everyone has their own tastes and wants and peeves.. i can only think of about 3 figures i might get from the animated line.. if i feel like it.. but still.. we have alot to look forward to

Yeah, the Cybertron repaints are a mixed bag but mostly positve.

I'm really loving that Cybertron Starscream painted in Dirge's colours, nice.

The Springer repaint of Cybertron Evac looks ace too, it's a reminder of just how good that line was.

sentiment shared there craven knight

cybertrons one of my big favourates.. hell.. theres still a bunch of them that im searching for here and there.. but the springer repaint is definatley on the wants list now..

im still dying to know how this targetmaster cyclonus looks.. does anyone know if ryan's getting photo's and eventually uploading them here? or is it gunna be a case of waiting it out till we start seeing stuff online?..

What exactly is his colour scheme, and is he a Decepticon?

I ask because he was one of the few Micromasters I had as a child and I loved him to death because of his awesome colours. I would really prefer to get him over regular Powerglide.

According to Allspark he's black and purple with a bit of green.

Sweeeet. Thanks! I will be getting him instead of Powerglide without a doubt.

I might actually get Storm Cloud and then wait for Henkai Powerglide, since he would probably be in the RIGHT colors.

News Credits: 2 · Sun Apr 27, 2008 9:03 am

I am especially happy about this as Storm Cloud was one of my favourites, and small enough for me to take anywhere and everywhere I chose. He was basically a miniature version of Skywarp to me. It's gonna be weird having him be so massive now though. It'll be even funnier having the two of them standing side by side.

Good to see Silverstreak will be available at retail and so quickly after Prowl.
Hopefully Hasbro have learned their lesson with the Seekers debacle and won't make Smokescreen one of next year's Botcon Exclusives.

...ditto

Classicverse Smokescreen is among my most anticipated figures!

I always dug that colour-scheme, hopefully they won't junk it up with tacky racecar advertising like they did with the Alternators/Binaltech version.

I liked the G1 color scheme better too.
One thing I'm thinking about doing to Prowl and Silverstreak when I get them is to remove the spoiler as Smokescreen was the only one of the G1 versions that had one.

Problem with "Storm Cloud" is it's ANOTHER of those messed up homages. The A-10 Warthog Decepticon Micromaster was named Tailwind! They should have made him blue and called him Tailwind. The white one should be Hothouse, and a RED one should be Powerglide.

Sun Apr 27, 2008 10:32 am

True - they could have repainted Silverbolt as a better stormcloud.

Sun Apr 27, 2008 11:58 am

So let me get this straight:

Deluxe Ironhide
Deluxe Sideswipe
Deluxe Hound with Ravage
Deluxe Cyclonus w/ Nightstick Targetmaster
Deluxe Silverstreak
& Ultra Silverbolt

You know... When I come here, I always hear good news. It makes me feel good and proud to be a Transformers fan. :APPLAUSE:
