Also, can anyone that saw 2.0 previews confirm something for me? Firstly, did you see Classics 2.0 prototypes? And if you did, I am an avid fan of G1 Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, and Jazz. Considering I love their G1 designs a lot, how happy will I be with the 2.0 renditions of them?

I am a Sideswipe G1 mold fan (Tigertracks is the yellow version of Sideswipe, the one that's not Sunstreaker), and I think from what we saw (car renditions, and figure molding I believe), that you will be happy with them. Very happy...

Good to hear! Now, I just gotta wait till the toy is released so I can love it to bits...

hmmm, I may buy three. I could make a TigerTracks and Topspin outta him.

**** it, I'll do Red Alert too! Well, if Hasbro don't.

But they want to capitalise on these new Classics, so maybe they will repaint Sideswipe into all his other incarnations...

I'd like them to make Red Alert, Tigertracks, Deep Cover, and Stakeout (?) out of it, but if they don't I will I suppose.

Oh and how about a G2 Sideswipe with sword spike wheels... that would be SWEET!

Now the way I took that message, I assumed that Hasbro meant they wouldn't use the same toy mold for Classics and Animated.

I seem to recall hearing Sideswipe and Sunstreaker would be released as different molds. That'll lead to a pretty natural Sideswipe to Red Alert redeco. But, if you think about the G1 figures, there was sort of a similarity between the transformation schemes of Sunstreaker and Wheeljack. You could, potentially, make a redeco there.

And if they did Ironhide and DIDN'T give us a G1 style Ratchet, I'd be disappointed... even if Ironhide was redecoed into Skids.

I'm STILL hoping for an updated version of Sixshot, though I'll probably be waiting a while. And how about the Predacons for the combiner team? It would be NICE to see them updated.
