TF Animated Leader Class Megatron





Universe 2.0 Deluxe figures Hound and Ravage, Cheetor, Cyclonus and G1 Starscream

















Universe 2.0 Voyager figures Hotshot and Vector Prime









Special thanks to Joe Moscone on behalf of Hasbro, inc. for providing these images.

Vector Prime looks like he is made of either chocolate or .......

maybe vector prime is the start of the story and toyline about the first 13 we heard about along time ago.
(i mean it makes sense,the fallen in the movie,vector prime in classics,and maybe we'll see one in animated eventually)

"Universe 2.0 Voyager figures Hotshot and Vector Prime"

...I thought that was Inferno?.. wasnt Hot Shot supposed to be based on his Armada form?

otherwise... awesome stuff.. good to see some nice clear photos of these... more so for Hound, Ravage, Cheetor, and Inferno.. still wondering if i should wait for the henkei Cyclonus is thats his final production deco.. unpainted face?.. hmm... only time will tell.

Isn't that Dirge, not Thundercracker? And the fire truck is Inferno, not Hot Shot or Hot Spot.

HEY! Cheetor's Transfromed right!! He has moderately thivk arms!

Not impressed by any of them. Will save some $.

Starscream... ..... .... .

It is Inferno, someone just made a mistake is all. The Hot Shot that you are talking about will be based on his Armada form.

Oh bugger! Cyclonus looks like he can only hold his weapon/targetmaster in his right hand. The left hand looks like it doesn't hold anything - no hole.


Shadow Megs look yummy! Too bad it is just a black repaint. I would love an episode or comic issue where he gets all dressed in black. I'll take that and a side order of lame "sleath operation required him to change his paint job" story.

I thought as much, thanks for clearing that up Mechabreaker... anyone have any idea when we should be seeing that though?.. im quite curious about it

The biggest problem I have with Cheetor is the weapons. He should have his old Beast Wars guns, or at least one of them!

Makes me worried about the weapon for Universe Dinobot.

Speaking of Dinobot, I do see the Dinobot/Vector Prime resemblence people have talked about. Looks like Dinobot and Vector Prime share the same tailor.

lol... godamnit.. i hope hasbro run out of all that allspark blue paint sometime soon... im surprised we havent seen a figure coated head to toe in it yet..

...i have so just jinxed that havent i?..

I'll be getting the Starscream, Hound, Cyclonus, and Vector Prime(so that I can repaint him).

I just bought Ironhide, Sideswipe, Silverstreak, and Galvatron just now! WOOHOO!

....... or mud.

Looks like we are looking at the bottom of Cyclonus. Vector Prime and Starscream look like they took pictures from the original and did some (REALLY BAD) Photoshopping.

I would like to see what Universe could do for Transmetal Rattrap.
Imagine...a fully show accurate figure, color wise, size wise, and transformation wise. (That's the important one.)

Now...if only we could get Hasbro to make one...

Supposedly, this wave will hit the shelves around Nov./Dec. of this year, who knows how accurate that is, but so far, that's what most major retailers are saying.

Even though Hound is Transformed wrong, he still looks the best.

Wait. I thought this wave was supposed to hit in January, or early Feb?

cyclonus' coloring really looks like **** in those pics.. and i was really looking forward to him. and hound.. that screw where the pee hole is is just unacceptable. i thought we were beyond that at this point

great lokoing figures im not going to go on vector prime its been said enough but i will say this vector prime will be mine not this crappy borwn version where he looks like he fell into big pile of S*%^^T but the original version cybertron version where hes white white vecotr prime will be mine someday since i will have to get from bbts, ebay or soemthing.

if soemone painted the 2 front teeth in for cyclonus he really would look like vampire ha!!!!............ok................. ill get the univeser figures execept for vector prime, & hasbro crappy looking cyclonus

The original cheetor was light-years beyond this new peice of junk. Please let Dinobot be cool.

Might get vector prime, paint his sword red, then give it to nemesis prime. unless the rumored ultra scourge is nemesis prime.

BTW I hate people start hating on toys as soon as they see pics, bu when these toys come out people eat these up like crazy.
