OK now I've been thinking do think it would be possible that Hasbro makes new molds of Starscream, Weirdwolf, Dreadwing and Springer in classics 2.0?

Starscream could get voiger so he's up to scale with Megatron (and may be repainted and redecod into the rest of the seekers).
Seeing how popular the seekers are Hasbro would just do that to cash in, and it wouldn't interfere with BotCon since it would be a new mold.
(Please don't hate me for that!)

And Springer cum on he was just a repaint of Cybertron Hotshot, wouldn't you love a triplechanging one too?

And classics Headmasters would be kinda cool too, cos afterall that's the way they belong.

I would also love to see a clasics PM Prime!

What do you think may it happen and please don't flame me cos of the exclusives, cos if it would happen as I just described they would still be pritty much exclusiv exclusives and would still be sought after!

doubt we'll see another seeker mold since its been done before. I could see them reusing the mold a year or so down the line perhaps for a store exclusive but the main line will probably stick to new molds and repaints of those molds.

Only likely character I see out of the ones you suggested getting redone would be Springer since for him to be a true classic version of the character he needs to be a triple changer, but I doubt well see that for a year or two.

As popular as starscream was ontop of his scale issue with the first wave, i could totally see them doing him again.

Starscream will be in TF Animated, so he won't be in Classics/Universe any time soon.

As for Springer, yes, all of the G1 triple-changers are supposed to be redone, whether like Blitzwing in TF Animated or Octane in Universe, we'll definately see a real, triple-changing Springer at some point.

I would still love to have Botcon Springer, though, cause I love the mold, and I would just call him something else.

As for the others, I don't know.

Springer will come soon,i bet,TC get use to it!!!!!!!!

by **neliz** » Sun Aug 05, 2007 4:53 pm

Masterpiece followed by Binaltech/Alternators and long after that Movie. I mean, I love G1 and such but I like to see my TF's represent everyday items. that was the catch with the original Diaclone's/TF's and that has since been completely lost with all the plastic space junk that has been put forth.

I'm not a big fan of the movie designs but I love their realistic looks in vehicle mode, but less so their bot modes. I don't mind my TF's being a little bulky and that's why I dig the Bin/Alts next to the awesome masterpieces.. If anyone wants to trade one of my classics jetfire for whatever alternator they present me, I'm fine with that because in my opinion: realistic earth vehicles > crazy japanese space plane/car/flying cannon thingy.

I would like to see jazz but it is stated that he will be in animated but still they promised us a classics Jazz I really want a cassics blitzwing, classics springer(non-botcon), classics prowl 9dought it though since animated), most likely will get a classics red alert and didn't they say that cla...universe would include not just G1 but G2 and and other generations!

What scale issue?

Being almost half the sise of Megatron!

I've said it a lot before, but just so everyone is sure;

They have said they plan to release 4 Ultra class figures with electronics, and 10 (ish) deluxe class figures. Hasbro have said they plan to do all of the triple changers at some point.

They have said they also want to capitalise on repaints this time round, so characters like Prowl, Bluestreak, Smokescreen, Ironhide and Ratchet are likely.

They have said for certain that a Classics 2.0 Sideswipe, Sunstreaker and Octane are for certain. They have expressed great interest in making Jazz in the classics 2.0 line.

They also plan to produce Galvatron and ULTRA Magnus for the Classics 2.0, most likely as two of the Ultra class figures.

5 of the 14 figures are already known to us.

What? Starscream isn't nearly half his size. Megatron is taller sure but not twice the size. Regardless of that fact, Megatron was always taller than the majority of his soldiers. Starscream is no exception. I never saw any size issue for classics, they are as they should be.

This sounds delicious - particularly the ultra class Magnus and Galvatron... but triple changers as well...

I am already looking forward to Octane, Blitzwing looks like a bit of a copout - although it's just the Animated aesthetic...

Wonder what Broadside will look like

Skids

If they do Broadside, I'd like him to be an Ultra Class figure. Makes more sense considering his alt modes.

Also, they could try to complicate his transformation a bit (read a LOT) couldn't they?

They shure could!

Well, at least I don't think it could get any simpler

Yes they could! :shock:

They would make it a block with the different modes painted on each side, and the block would be made of wood!

I don't think that these are fine as they are!

Besides, they need to do a Classics Megatron that doesn't look like a children's Megatron-dress-up-costume...

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Mon Aug 06, 2007 7:35 am

I'd like to see Voyager Optimus Prime and Megatron scaled down to large deluxe size. More or less round the size of Cybertron Hotshot.

While I love the figures, I feel they're a little bit too big in comparison with the deluxe figures and Jetfire.
