The addition of Beast Wars figures to the Universe toyline over in England sounds interesting, but then, who knows what they mean by that, guess all you lucky ones across the pond will have to wait and see!

Hang on, did the UK ever get the original Universe figures Silverbolt and Reptilion?
Anyway, I doubt the BW figures means anything other than the Robot Heroes BW figures. I'm Sure Hasbro would've made an announcement if BW figures were to be re-imagined in the Universe line.

Hasbro UK wrote:The full toy line will be available mid year.
I am going to save that press release and hold them to it. When has the UK ever had a FULL release of any TF toyline?
Of course I could just be being bloody minded & not trust a word that Hasbro UK say.....

It's good that we're getting the universe line but if they skip a figure with these classics like they did with Astrotrain i'll go ape. I hope the beast war figures are the 10th anniversery reissues but to bad I have to wait so long for the new classics but atleast i've got animated while I wait. looks like a good year for the uk for a change.

Astrotrain was suppossed to be Wave 1. He never came out in Wave 1. What was in Wilkos was Astrotrain shipped with Wave 2 (Ramjet, Grimlock, Cliffjumper).
All I know is, this means I must wait longer for Octane. They had better ship him, cos if they skip out another triple changer, there will be hell to pay!
Beast Wars FOREVER!
