Due to the Overwhelming amount of threads about these types of things, I'm creating this one As I did the other one. In hopes that it will get stickied at least for a little while.

First up: The Wal-Mart Exclusive Anime Accurate Masterpiece Starscream.

There have been several release dates floating around from Late August, September, Sometime in October, Maybe November etc...

So far November seems to be the one. With the Possibility of it being a Black Friday Special (The Friday After Thanksgiving, in case you did not know). So as it stands the Tentative Release date for this is sometime in November, maybe Black Friday.

Second: Animated Series: Scheduled fro sometime early @008. Some people think it might even pop up for Christmas but nothing concrete there yet. And since we have no actual release date, expect it no earlier than January perhaps even February of 2008.

Third: Classics 2.0. It is Officially named Transformers: Universe. We have seen only 3 concept sketches. of confirmed characters. Being Sideswipe, Sunstreaker and Octane. No actual figures, test shots or prototypes of any of them. The only other figure to be confirmed is a Galvatron.

Release date is set for Fall of 2008. Putting it roughly a year away. Again no date has been set, just a general time frame.
EDIT thanx to Caelus for pointing this out:
Movie Line is still going, with new waves still to come under the AllSpark sub-line.

If you care to add anything to this, please do so.

I will update this as specific dates become available.

P.S. All other lines: Cybertron, Classics 1.0, Alternators 6 inch Titaniums etc.. have officially ended. Anything you find at stores is what is left. Hasbro might still ship out some remaining boxes of these lines, But no new figures will be produced.

Thank you all.

The Movie Line will continue in January with the Allspark Subline.

I think, so far, it consists of:

Deluxe

Cliffjumper
Landmine
Camshaft
Stockade

Voyager

Offroad Ironhide
'G1-esque' Optimus Prime (can't remember the exact name)
Evac
Incinerator

Leader

Desert Attack Brawl
Nightwatch Optimus

I'd expect there will be more after that too.

Yes, my bad.
Movie line was not included there. That one is still running. and Yes it will apparently continue through the first quarter of 2008 with the "AllSpark" sub line.

Does that mean that the WWI Skywarp won't be released at all then? I'm kinda unclear.

Not that I'm aware. The last WWI seeker released was WWI Sunstorm. We never even saw a Skywarp repaint AFAIK. (besides the Customs)

Took a bit of digging, but here you go.

Edit: Ach, OC beat me to it.

I don't recall a Skywarp repaint. Hasbro generally avoids releasing all three characters in the same mold to mass retail.

I misread your post - sorry. I thought you were asking about WWI Starscream, since he is hard to find....

My apologies.

Jeez, who on earth would approve those bright blue parts on Desert Attack Brawl? :shock:

I'm gonna jump on Landmine, Stockade, Incinerator, and Nightwatch Prime. Maybe Evac. It's gonna be a fun year, 2008 is!

Because it's the spectacular Allspark aesthetic! Where it needs more blue, IT NEEDS MORE BLUE.

And it's miserable. OK on the others though

That is very debatable.

Hasbro like to have 2 different lines of figures out on shelves at a time, so expect the Movie line to hang around for at least another 6-9 months until the Universe/Classics 2.0 figures start popping up.

What I find very disappointing is that the Real Gear line is also over.

Gives me time to save money for Classics 2.0

I'll have to differ. I think the Movie line All Spark subline, will hang around with the Animated stuff for a while. But I doubt it will still be around when Universe hits. Its gonna be something like Movie->Movie/All Spark->All Spark/Animated->Animated->Animated/Universe->Universe, maybe some secondary line here/Main line for 2009

by **Shockwave06** » Mon Oct 22, 2007 6:20 pm

Animated line looks great actually. Especially Blitzwing. :grin:

Everybody said that 6" Titanium Prowl & Grimlock were supposed to be released before the line ended. At least I think it was Grimlock & Prowl, but anyway, weren't there supposed to be 2 or 3 more before it was all over??? The last ones they already produced?

They were supposed to, but it was never guaranteed.

My bet is they'll be at Botcon next year :-)
