I hope it to be 100% true as Cyclonus with Nightstick would be the best toy ever.

That is very interesting indeed, but as far as I understand these toys are not as new Universe re-designed toys, aren´t they?

Really I don't know. I found the list and am hoping it's all true. I REALLY hope they are doing that new Cyclonus to coincide with the new Galvatron. I mean REALLY REALLY hope they are.

His toy was one of the best of the line (to me) when it first came out. I'm a sucker for forward swept wings.

Cyclonus was confirmed at Botcon, and he's a new mold Universe style.

So that list is correct.

That's a huge relief, I need to get myself to some cons to get this info first hand. Any where I can find his picture?

No pictures, he was shown, but no pictures were allowed during the event, so we have to wait until something leaks.

Or Hasbro releases some officially.

There was a Botcon update thread where Ryan himself describes the figure. If I can find it I'll come back and post it here.

WOW!!!!!!!! That would be just awesome... so the saying is to start saving money for them! :grin:

As Star_ling stated above, Cyclonus is one of my favorites too :APPLAUSE:

Yeah that sounds great, can you at least tell us if he's a nice figure or not. Like is the alt mode as good/better than his G1 counterpart or what his robot mode looks like.

But since he'll be deluxe I'll get him regardless.

Here you go:

No pics were allowed, sorry guys!

I think I felt the same way about that toy as I remember feeling about the first leaked pics of Alternator Smokescreen and 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime back in the summer of 2003.

Hound is pretty incredible also. I just think the sheer awesomeness of Cyclonus just blew me away. I also absolutely loved Ravage, Brawn and Beachcomber. What a great idea to come up with new Legends class molds for the Mini-Bots. Kudos to Hasbro!!!

The packaging for 25th anniversary reissue of G1 Optimus Prime is just beautiful. It's an absolutely incredible gift set and I will definitely once again buy an Optimus Prime reissue.

I missed that pannel by a whole minute! :-x

Looks like I missed probably one of the greatest panels ever, but at least I won't be missing the toys

I want Hound SOOOOOO bad =P~

, and my friend wants the Ravage for his Soundwave that comes with Hound. Is it true that Hound and Ravage are their G1 molds? If they are, then it really is classics 2.0! :APPLAUSE:

They aren't their G1 molds, they are new molds, but one's based off of their G1 counterparts. I wasn't at Botcon, let alone the panel, but have read about it. Apparently Ravage is more 3D-like than his G1 counterpart, but still transforms into a cassette that can fit into Soundwave. Here's hoping that it isn't too long till the rest of us gets to see pictures of Cyclonus, Nightstick, Hound, and Ravage.
