Well, if Powerglide is a repaint instead of a new mold, that's $24.99 that I can save for something else!

Nobody. It's just a "what if" scenario. I wouldn't put it past Hasbro to do something like that ...

its been confirmed that all of Universe wave 1 will be new molds. Even says that in the news article doesn't it?

Given that it's going to be in the "universe" line, (though techinically STILL classics 2.0) and given hasbro's tendency of rereleasing old molds. Yes, I do know that they claimed that 1st wave would be all new molds,... but is anyone else getting that itchy feeling that ultra class powerglide just may turn out to be a repaint/remold of cybertron wing saber? (Given the fact that they're both -sort of- the same plane and in the same size class...and it IS the universe line, which has a LOT of repaints in it...)

Just hoping it's gonna be an actual new mold

theres no evidence to suggest that any of classics 2 will be old moulds, still they did do that bloody awful devastator, as an exclusive i can understand it but still thats cheap, i hate that mould, its just so clumsy. classics is aimed at the collector (if im not mistaken) and hasbro (should)know that repaints wont go down well.

Nah, have faith, people. I realize Hasbro's dropped the ball a bit in the past (movie repaints, anyone?), but this year looks to be the year of the collector. After all the new mold designs that have been shown, I'm feeling Powerglide as a new bot altogether. How cool would an updated pontoon aircraft be?

Ultra class still throws me off. He's no bigger than a car bot in the old show, so why suddenly make a 'minibot' bigger than jetfire? Scale shmale, we're talking G1 here!

The only repaints you can count on at the momnet is Red Alert from Sideswipe and Smokescreen and Bluestreak from Prowl. A slight chance you might see a head remould of Sunstreaker to make Wheeljack.

Oh. Powerglide? he was one of the minibots in g1 right?
oh my. from minibot to ultra class. *claps*

Pete confirmed that all of wave one are new molds. He also said that Powerglide is a beast.

I suppose that's valid, but who's to say G1 didn't have things a little out of "schale"? A pontoon plane the size of a VW bug? It might make more sense to have him big enough to transport others or something...

I agree. Besides, there's just not enough flyers on the Bots side of things. I'm willing to bet that we may just see that Cosmos make an appearance in wave 2 or 3

SAY WHAT?!?!?! A beast?? say that is not true, Autobots are needing flyers guys... Aerialbots perhaps? another repaint from energon 5 bots version?

cool. at last, Beast Wars in Classics. that's a dream come true.

by **Maldroth** » Sat Jan 26, 2008 1:24 am

when Pete said he was a beast he was refering to size not alt mode.

Even if he's really cool, I don't like that Powerglide is going to be so big...
I know that having all figures in scale is impossible, but come on.

Who to say there even doing a new mold for Powerglide for all we know he could be a repaint of cybertron wingsaber with a different head scuplt.

If that's the case,
That's WEAK...

But I don't think Hasbro is gonna try and pull that this time.

Maybe Hasbro took a nod from Jin's Warpath when designing the new Powerglide. This should be sweet.

And besides, was anyone saying that Cosmos shouldn't be released as Titanium because he's not the size of a mini-bot? Come on! You'd all buy him in a heartbeat if the mold was decent.

I think I can live with an Ultra Powerglide. It'll take some getting used to, but I suppose it does make more sense.

He is not a beast, in anything other than size.

He is NOT a Cybertron Wingsaber remould/repaint. Hasbro have made bloody clear that universe wave 1 and so on will be fecking new molds.

Next none retarded, none previously answered question please.

Come on what? Remember, this isn't G1 it's Universe. Sure it's highly influenced by G1 and the like but it's a seperate entity. The only really G1 thing were going to get out of Universe would be the Seacons.

To put the mold thing to rest, they won't do a wingsaber repaint so soon after doing one in the Movie line.
