will they release or make more of the classic toy line? if so when and what characters? i saw a huge starscream figure at walmart (classics line) for about $50 and i am going to get it now!

that starscream is actually masterpiece starscream, i've been having no luck finding him anywhere in my area but the classics line will be continued with universe 2.0 (or thats what ive heard it called)

Yes, fall 08 there will be more classics under the name Universe

I hope we get some reissues of the rarer classic figures like Megatron. A repaint of Megatron would be keen.

Nope, no reissues but if you want Megatron, you can import him from Japan soon.

Wait, Sideswipe, Sunstreak, and Octane are coming out as scheduled, right?

Takara will be releaseing the first wave of classic's soon with more G1ish paint apps so look for them soon.

As far as I know...yes.

Is there an official list of what's coming out for Classics 2.0 other than the ones mentioned above?

Sorry, but it so funny to see people wanting this Megs after all the crap that we heard from people saying that it sucked and they were passing on it.

Thats not official.

Some of the molds mentioned there aren't confirmed AFAIK.

Prowl for example I wouldn't count on being in classics since he is already in Animated, and Hasbro said if a character got a figure in one line it would not get one in the other line. So far they have not set anything contrary since Botcon.

The first 4 molds mentioned have been confirmed although no actual prototypes have been seen only concept art.

The Rest of the molds have no real confirmations AFAIK. So its just speculation.

Otherwise its pretty much spot on.

I think my Classics megs is cool and my kids lkie playing with it also, which is great.

I couldn't find any pics of what the new classics guys are supposed to look like (sunstreaker,Octane,and sideswipe) Oh well great news though. Any word on others being thought of? I think there was a Cosmos idea that was noted at Botcon, but might have been dropped. That would stink.

Where have I been that I misssed that?

Well Ultra Magnus was also on that wiki list and if true it would contradict what they said about not having the same characters in 2 different lines because Ultra Magnus will be in the Animated lineup.

Exactly my point. The first 4 are right on the money. The rest I would not put too much faith on.

Besides classics already has an UltraMagnus. so its likely UM will be for animated only.

Tfromers has some images of the Concept art for Sideswipe, Sundtreaker and Octane here:

Opps Sorry Double Post

And hear is a concept for cosmos

They had said they wouldn't do Cosmos, but I hope they change their minds. Cosmos would be different.

Heck, I'd love to see most of the 2nd Season mini-Autobots (Powerglide, Warpath, Beachcomber, etc.) be made again in new versions.

I agree, I would definitely buy a Cosmos figure, and a Beachcomber figure would be great, too. They're two of my favorite Autobots, and I like their designs.

Moving to the "most likely" list, I'd buy an Octane figure for sure... but I don't really care about Sunstreaker/Sideswipe and Galvatron, to be honest.

And on the "somewhat likely" list, not sure if I'd buy a Jazz figure if they made one. On the one hand, Jazz is always awesome, on the other hand, I own the G1-colored Movie Jazz and I actually think it's a really nice design already. Choices, choices...
