Save the world? WTF? LOL....they are just toys.
And I call it how I see it. These are Prime toys. Period. And no amount of shoehorning is going to change that. If you want them for your Prime collection they will fit in just fine, but as far as classics go that line is dead in the water. Your best bet will be 3pt retailers. And just because Hasbro slaps a name and some paint on some random mold doesn't make it a geewun classics figure.
I always chuckle at the bondage this kind of collecting brings. It is silly. If you want to buy the figures because you just like them then fine, but to call these classics is a joke. Kinda like the GDO stuff, save Hot Spot, and all the movie line junk that people shoehorn into their classics collection because they are mad a Hasbro for not making what they want in their time frame.
I do not have convince anyone of anything. It is what it is. And just because I speak it doesn't mean you have to get all puffed up at me because I said what you are thinking in the back of your mind.

The hyperbole I used demonstrates the exaggerated vitriole with which you constantly attack choices made by Hasbro or fans to include in their "Classics" line up of figures. If toys are just toys, you wouldn't feel compelled to knock down everyone's contrary opinion to yours EVERY TIME something like this comes up. Your contributions to conversations here are predominantly negative and don't add to the fun of the hobby at all. We ALL know what you think of "Classics figures" and repurposing of figures from other lines. Trust me, it does not bear repeating. So, please, don't.

I'm with the Wolfman on this one. Don't speak for the rest of us as if you know what we do or do not like or do or do not want. Give it a rest.

My god, classifying these without proper bios or fiction will be a nightmare...
Nemesis Primal wrote:First Aid and Streetsmart don't look bad, but I'm disappointed that Groove looks basically identical to Arcee. As for the other set, the use of the Grapple version of the mold rather than the Inferno version seems like an odd choice if they mean to do a Hot Spot homage, and the RotF Blazemaster mold is just a bad toy, end of story.
JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Metro Prime wrote:Groove looks exactly Arcee with some extra silver bits, First Aid is just Ratchet with more blue, and Streetsmart appears to be Prowl, but with Smokescreen's deco. They didn't even change the base plastic colors.
The sad part is that this is likely the closest we'll get to having Classics Protectobots.
Actually, we already have two of the five in Classics form:
GDO Series Hot Spot and Universe 2008 Blades. So the second set would be obsolete.

Why would a figure be cancelled if Seibertron had the galleries for it like a month or so ago. The figures had to come from somewhere like a store. I believe that Seibertron bought them online by someone who had them because if he didn't, he would have notify us their releases in retail stores a long time ago.

Megatron Wolf wrote:As for the protectobots i think its way to soon to be repainting TFP molds, they should've taken old movie molds so it would fit in with AoE, they used blazemaster so why not do the same with the rest? Granted TFP does fit in better with bayformers than any other incarnation but like i said its just to soon. Those molds can still be found on clearance at some stores. I think hasbro just had some left overs in the factory so they did this to get rid of them.

Probably the latter. They might suspect she'll be in higher demand, so they're charging a bit more for her.william-james88 wrote:Any reason Windblade costs more than a standard deluxe price? Would that mean that it would be a higher suggestd retail price for big box stores? Or is BBTS just making it more expensive since it knows it can get those few dollars more from fans since this is a figure that might be sought after more?
