This may be a stupid question, but since this story is using the classics line, is there plans to make springer, or some of the others used in the story that there is no classics of yet?

Almost every character in that comic has a toy of them already done.

Elita-1 is the only notable exception.

I'm sure they all have a toy of them already, except as you said Elita-1, but some of them i only remember as a g1 figure. I don't remember any other Springer figure. and the only recent Soundwave has been the titanium. which brings up another point, are they going to make any more classics, maybe the ones they haven't in this comic yet? or maybe titanium versions?

Springer, Huffer and others who appear in the comic were put out as this years Botcon exclusive toys. The version of Springer that appears for example is the Botcon piece based off Cybertron Defense Hot Shot that was available at the con and limited to 1400 pieces. Elita 1 may show up as a Collectors Club exclusive later in the year in a similar fashion to the way that the pre Beast Wars Airrazor was handled last year, although this has not yet been confirmed. The notable exceptions new toy wise are the Dinobots other than Grimlock who make an appearance although it has been widely noted that one of them (Snarl off the top off my head) is drawn based on his Action Master form, a tip of the hat to the last days of the Marvel comics that this story is set after (ignoring the UK stories and the G2 comic).
