Can't wait to see what's in the next wave.

My guess is Galvitron and the new Ultra Magnus.

As promised, here's a few digibashes.







It's a pity the image wasn't a bit larger, otherwise I'd have done a tidier job...

those rule. and i only had to wait a week and i'm not out 40 bucks and i got to see more than sunstreaker! bah!

I like all of them but have to say prowl is my favorite. This could change after paint..... there are alot of nice cars out there with crappy color paint jobs

Definately wanting the Prowl and Sunstreaker.
Not sure about Decpticons.
maybe Powerglide, but I gotta save up for Animated.
Hasbro knows what they're doing this year, no disappointments.
What happened, why does Hasbro suddenly rock THIS much?
Did they fire Aaron Archer?

Omega Supreme and Sky Lynx to be reissued, new dinobots in Animated, WST Sludge and Swoop released and awesome Universe figures!!! It's gonna be a good year.

I'm liking the look of Onslaught.

So it looks like Tankor/Octane turns into an AC-130 Gunship.

His vehicle mode is a real truck too, but I don't know what kind. Anyone?

LOL! dude, I am SO sig quoting that!

Thank you, I do what I can to help... somebody's got to stick up for poor old Trucktor...

... I mean Octane.

By not buying any Animated crap, I'll have money to buy these. These look great!

Buddy, Archer is the reason for Classics.

Now these are what bots should look like!

You can keep your playschool animated crap, bring me these, and lots of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I simply could not say it better myself. These new Classics (Universe) figures ROCK!!! I WILL buy EVERY one of them. That Prowl would make a great Smokescreen!!!

These are cool! I don't know why the collectors club people who got the preview this morning were so down on them.

These look sweet ....too bad that we have to wait till August ...........still amazing ......with these being released and hopefully the MP Grimlock this summer..... looks like its going to be a great summer

i hope Smokescreen will be a wave repaint and not a planned BotCon exclusive. looks like we're in for a good year mateys.

AFAIK they got the colored pics of these toys in the magazine, and color really spells a world of difference on how the toys will look on pics. and if i'm not mistaken, there are mistransformed TFs on the mag.

Yes, they were badly mistransformed, which made them look awful, especially Powerglide. These new pics totally change that.

wow... august 2008, eh? man, all of these are keepers... love onslaught and prowl! tankor/octane is also a must buy!

and yeah, forget about the animated toys, my money will go to these bots!

WOW... THEY ARE JUST AMAZING!!!!

i doubt our country will get these goodies on that date man, maybe October/November to say the least.

but what the heck, more wait = more time time save up = more money to complete this line!

The paint apps will ruin them

Keep up that optimism!

God Bless the beautiful minds behind these molds--It will be my sincere pleasure adding each one of these to my Classics collection. Can't wait for the Club mag. to see the paint apps!

Wow, I havn't been this excited about figures since the first pictures of classics.

Prowl is great, I need to buy him
Octane looks amazing and very fun to transform

The only advantage of waiting till August is I get a few months to save my money!

I want Prowl, Sunstreaker and Oct--er...Tankor SOOOO badly!!! Especially Prowl because well, I need a Prowl in my collection I can hardly wait to see the finished models!!

Wow, those are really fantastic transformers.

- Sunstreaker looks good alround.
- Prowl looks great and he's a 350Z!
- Tankor has that boxy panels & kibble problem that triple changers always have but is still impressive and complex looking.
- Powerglides alt mode is abit meh but the bot is cool, I like that the transformation is like his G1 toy.
- Onslaught looks awesome but his alt mode is abit silly, a six wheeled swat buggy thing?

I'm going to preorder all of these as soon as the oppertunity presents.
