Woah.. Classics 2.0?? I know I took most of yesterday off but where did this come from??
Must be something unveiled at Botcon.

If Hasbro just tweaked the paint decos a bit, they could release the other three Seekers and not alienate those who bought the box sets from Botcon. You know, use a different blue for Thundercracker for example.

id love to see a triple changer springer, im already chuffed with the twins and gavatron. But i think the thing i like t see most wud be six shot to bad they never will cause of the gun mode

by **Massdestruction** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 3:06 pm

Hound (we haven't had a deluxe jeep in any line yet), Trailbreaker, Soundwave, Rumble/Frenzy, definitly Reflector (Hasbro, you can make three near identical robots form one camera, I know you can), Tracks, Kup... that's it for now.

by **massmachine** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 3:36 pm

id say shockwave and for a combiner the combaticons or stunticons redo

News Credits: 32 · by **UltraPrimal** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 3:38 pm

OK, so here is a list of figures that are, or maybe be, coming out in Classics. From confirmed to least likely:
Sunstreaker
Sideswipe
Octane
Galvatron
Jazz
Prowl
Ironhide
Cosmos
Arcee

Characters that can, and probably will, be done since they are already making a character that shares the same mold:
Bluestreak
Smokescreen
Ratchet
Stepper/Ricochet

Characters that we will probably not see in Classics due to Hasbros statement on not doing the same character in both lines at the same time:
Ultra Magnus
Blurr
Wreckgar

by **Loki41872** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 3:59 pm

Shockwave and Soundwave. Do Shockwave just like Classics Megatron. Since they can't make him exactly like the G1, make him a nerf pistol. Heck, he allready doesn't look like a real-world gun, and he's purple!

And a Six Pack of Seekers. I'm so pissed that I can't get them all without paying hundreds of dollars for the three BotCon ones. Maybe change their paint aps or something to distinguish them from the BotCon ones.

by **Cinema_Major** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 3:59 pm

They've stated several times that they are cheap skates who want to use the same molds over and over again. So lets look at the bet ways to go about it... We know they are doing..

1. Galvatron
2. Sunstreaker
3. Sideswipe (I think they said a different mold from S.S.)
4. Jazz
5. Prowl (or at least it was hinted)
6. Octane

They said they'd also like to do a combiner.. Im preparing to get sick because I have a bad feeling they are going to take an engergon combiner and recolor it...yuck. But if they do choose to tweak a mold or two and remake an old G1 combiner. The smart money should be on Menasor. Why you ask??? Because You can tweak Octane for Motormaster, then use Sunstreaker, Side Swipe , Jazz, and Mirage for the other 4 stunticons... just recolor and give them different heads. Ofcourse by tweaking their molds, they'd have to find a way to combine them.

This also gives them the chance to make Botcon exclusives or more classics in Bluestreak and Red alert and Stepper.

As far as those who I really want to see other than those already stated or hinted at?

1. Predacons
2. Iron hide/ Ratchet
3. Hound
4. Cyclonus
5. Kup
6. Shockwave
7. The other dinobots.

By the way, I have a question for you guys, I was planning on kit bashing a new Skids out of either the new movie Payload or Drop Kick. Which one of those two with a new head and a few paint strokes would make a good skids?

News Credits: 11 · by **Overcracker** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 4:35 pm

Neither??? O.k O.k, maybe Payload. Skids was never a pcikup truck, so Dropkick is out.

I think maybe FAB Ratchet?

I do have a life outside of this board. Sorry if I did not catch up on news like everyone else.
Most of the time when I am online I am doing other things on the board.

Ok, I read the thread..
I hope they make an accurate Arcee and a Springer.

I think that if they were to an orignal redesign of a combiner not just repaint one of the crappy energon ones for classics 2.0 I would love to see someone obscuere like the trainbots from headmasters. I just think they look cool because they are each a different type of train.

It was just, you know, some of the bigger news to come out of BotCon almost two weeks ago.

No need for the passive aggressive ire; I am legitimately surprised this was the first instance of the news you have seen.

by **Dclone Soundwave** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 12:42 am

Classics Head & Targetmasters. I'm not crazy, I don't want Fort Max, just updated versions of Brainstorm, Chromedome, Skullcruncher, Triggerhappy, Apeface, Cyclonus, etc, etc. I also wouldn't mind Perceptor or the Insecticons. I've always loved Bombshell. If they gave him launching Cerebro shells, I'd have a fangasm.

by **kkl1014** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 12:54 am

Soundwave w/ Laserbeak and Ravage
Prowl
Ironhide
Ratchet (not a recolor of Ironhide)

News Credits: 1 · by **Craven Knight** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 1:02 am

If they reissue a combiner in this line I want either Predaking or Piranacon.

Deluxes, I would like Springer, Powerglide, Hound(retool head & gun to make Swindle), another Dinobot... probably Slag, I don't think we need all five Dinobots redone but Slag and maybe Swoop would be cool.
Also Cyclonus NEEDS a new figure, a deluxe Warpath would be sweet - you can never haver too many TF's based on real tanks.

The Titanium Cosmos, Shockwave & Arcee prototypes should appear in this line - Hasbro please, this is garanteed profit $$$$

Galvatron, Rodimus Prime, Onslaught & Broadside(triplechanger) as Voyagers.

This may get me linched by Transformers purists, but I suggest RoadBots 1:32 Scale Mitsubishi Pajero. That's what I have planned.

Those things are cool!

by **Khaotika** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 9:26 am

There're lots of great suggestions in this thread.

Kup, Trailbreaker, Hound, Tracks, Apeface, Snapdragon, Scourge, Cyclonus, Runamuck, Runabout, Darkwing (heh), Whirl, Roadbuster, The Insecticons, Gears, any combiners, Sixshot, Joyride, Flywheels, Battletrap.

If it goes outside of G1:

Rapido + the other cars, Eagle Eye + the other jets.

BW Transmetal Scorponok. Seriously. I want to complete my TM show characters. :cry:

News Credits: 665 · by **Skowl** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 11:34 am

I want them to bring back those Seacon repaints, of course. Those guys have been no.1 on my "want" list for... oh, it must be what... almost four years now :-x

Insecticons please! :grin:

And it would be cool it they would release that Cosmos mold from the Titanium line in the new Classics thing...

Maybe some new versions of classic characters that keep getting the shaft, like Bludgeon, the Predacons, Seaspray etc...

Aside from that, I don't care much about the new Classics line, it'll just be more of the same characters from 1984-1986 that we've seen over and over and over again...

Well I have Magnus (no armor no Ultra), Botcon Springer, Hot Rod and Energon Arcee so I'd like to complete my the Movie cast with:
Kup
Blurr
Wreck Gar
Wheelie
Cyclonus
Gnaw the Sharkticon

As for preMovie:
Brawn
Hound
Jazz
Prowl
Omega Supreme (retooled from Energon)
Superion (retooled from Energon)
Shockwave
Menasor
Bruticus (retooled from Energon)

With the exceptions of Reflector and the Insecticons, they've nearly done all of the premovie Decepticons already or are planning them in the new Animated line.

News Credits: 7 · by **shortround** » Tue Jul 17, 2007 3:53 pm

Please stop saying that you want things retooled from energon this is supposed to be classic 2.0 which I beleave this means new molds for old figures not retooled energon crap. I would love to see omega supreme done right but to be honest the orignal version was pretty darn good. I wouldn't mind seeing a metroplex and trypticon done up right with modern styles.

Who do you hope to see in the upcoming classics 2.0 line?
