Classics Jazz or Arcee? Jazz is likely as a Classic. Not sure about an Arcee yet.


ME HAPPY!!!!!! :grin: 8)

Classics 2.0 sounds great!!!


I'm willing to give the cartoon a chance.

Hey Ryan are the colors on the cartoon similiar to the ones on Teen Titans? Cause i really dislike the color pallete for Teen Titans.

Thanks for the updates.. that sounds cool


What do they mean, can't find the dinobot molds, there is obviously a swoop one out there



and the world smallest dinobots. they have been using new molds for the encore line. it would not be that hard to get a figure and remold it. and hasbro as on 1994 had at least 3 molds of the dinobots along with the aerialbots, mostof the stunticons and protectobots.

it just seems kinda strange that they can't find them..

HOw about the aerialbots, g1 and g2 molds.. the knockoffs are molded the same bascialy..

This is great news! More figs in the same vein as the existing Classics will keep me happy for the foreseeable future.

Now, let's get a car Arcee (although the Target Elita One will be a suitable stand in for the time being) and that Shockwave they showed us!

I'm glad they are continuing with G1 Robot Heroes. I don't know why but I love them. I bought them for my son, who also digs them - he's one and he carries them around the house wherever he goes. Seems to like Bumblebee and Hot Rod the best....

Anyway, thanks for the "hot off the presses" coverage. I really wish I had gone to the 'Con - seems like a great weekend. Have a safe trip home, all!

Hmmm, I've warmed up to the other TF Animated designs. Really like Bumblebee now. Still having a hard time with Optimus. But the rest of this news sounds pretty cool. Grimlock is a dinosaur. Megatron is a gun! Return to Beast Wars style storytelling & character development. Cool stuff.

I need to see it in motion now. And I need to see & hear Starscream. He's the real deal breaker here if he sucks. :-?

The movie stuff was at yesterday's panel. Mentioned Leader Class Bonecrusher today and that they were looking into other larger versions of characters in Movie line.



See I told ya'll they were going to do a bonecrusher, they just need to announce Leader Class Starscream and me and my source are vindicated versus those skeptics!!!

Looks like good news for once!

It's good to know my fave three bot cars from G1 will be making an appearance in Cl 2.0!

As long as the story for Animated is as good as BW, I'm a happy camper. This style's grown on me too TBH.

I still wish they would improve the availability of tfs over here.
And they should definetly use those four ex-tit moulds in Classics. I'd be bloody happy if they did.

That is good news if they do larger a Bonecrusher and a bigger Starscream, but it sucks that we probably won't see those toys for another year, if they do make them.

By the way, since they gave us classics devastator from the repaints of energon, I can easily see them giving us " Classics Superion " or bruticus in the same vain as repaints of those other maximus energon combiners..

Wow I completely and utterly called it with how the Animated storyline would work. Self contained episodes that are part of a season wide arc. Teen Titans and Transformers together. Lord this will be the best show since Beast Wars...Or at least Beast Machines.
