I'm thinking more grey then purple, but those would be the primary colors.

In other words I can sleep peacefully knowing that NO MEG's Recolored thing is coming... I guess

But I was under the impression that the magazine will have pictures... Am I wrong?

DAY-UM...

Are you guys thinking that Galvatron may actually be in this next wave!?!?!

Now that would make this line really awesome!!!!


And here's another question--

Realistically, how many more waves/figures (however you want to calculate it) do you think Hasbro will release in the Universe Classics????

That will depend on the success of the initial wave. And also on the success of the Allspark and Animated series.

Right on, I was just asking people to estimate how far it will go.
Even if you take that stuff into consideration.

I'd have to say at least 2 waves maybe 3. Depending on how well the first one does.

What would you do if the entire first wave is all combaticons and nothing else.

The only repaint we'll see of Classics Megatron is the TT version.

Also, Galvatron won't be in the first wave on Universe.

That will be just great, expecting this wave for long time and not having much information is not, say, nice?
Galvatron is a must!... and if there are all combaticons... indeed got to catch them all!

I'm really not sure if they will drop the rest of the Combaticons in Universe. I'm not even sure the Onslaught we've seen is a combiner.

I think this Classics 2.0/Universe line will do a stop and go. Whenever there's something hot, like TF2, they'd stop and take a back seat. When things died down, they'd pick up the pace again.

Just like the role of Classics 1.0. A gap-filler.

So we can expect Classics 2.0 to be around for a very long time, albeit in a piecemeal fashion.

Classics has the potential to go a long way. There were hundreds of characters to revive. And they will always be attractive to fans, especially the original G1 fans.

It's just natural Hasbro will use this line to prop up any sagging seasons in their toylines.

I have to agree with you on this, and I think it is a great way for Hasbro to keep their Transformer line alive and kicking. I think Classics 2.0 has a lot of potential considering how many characters there are from the G1 series and toy line and comics, also considering that we got Combiners, Pretenders, the various master types, they can do a lot of stuff with this line.

We need not worry who will come out and who won't come out.

Eventually, most of the popular bots will be produced.

For some people clapping is a normal expression of happiness perhaps you are not use to it... spamming is would be If I am placing the same message all over on every single forum conversation etc, some times, again for you to understand, a picture says more than a thousand words... ignorance look for it in a dictionary.

You are right, we are just guessing and dreaming... but wouldn't it be nice? personal example, since Classic toy line was first released, I am hoping to see Jazz and the twins... two out of three after two years, I guess is fine, there are some many cool characters still that could be use? Hound... Hoist, I mean! too many!

does "clapping" introduce anything informative to the topic at hand? because i have the telling assumption that spam includes posts that do not contribute to the information pertaining to the thread's overall flow of discussion.

imotron is quite new. Let's cut him some slack. He'll get into the flow soon.

Maybe he's just excited.

Everybody gets out of the line from time to time.

As much as I hope you're right, I have my doubts about how far this line will go,
simply because
I don't know how willing I think Hasbro is to please fans.
The mass market of consumers isn't necessarily going to jump at some of the older, slightly obscure characters.
Especially with the big push of resurgence of interest coming from the movie, and that style of TF's.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for getting every character possible it's due in plastic.
While some of us would love to see Grapple, or Hoist, realistically, will these sell WELL to the general public?

I guess I'm trying to keep my excitement in check...

It can actually be beneficial to see such popular characters as Jazz and Ironhide be pushed into future production.

By that time, toys would inevitably have improved even further. More details, more articulation, more realism, more technology.

A classic example is Classics Hot Rod. It's a tremendous big leap from its G1 original toy. But what if he were to be designed now? He would have been even much better.

Another example is the MP toyline. Look at the very first MP. Although quite an achievement, but it now pales compared to the Skywarp mold.

You're absolutely right.
BUT,
my questions are how much detail, and how much of an involved transformation does a character like Ironhide need??
If anything, the concern imo is the engineering, and making sure that what's suppose to happen (with the transformation) truly happens without glitches,
not that it has to be complicated.
