LOL. I laugh at everyone who thought that this Classics Rodimus was a fake. Blurrz is always right. Arcee + Tailwhip looks decent, Sideswipe and Barricade are brutal, and the Sideways + Twins is a huge pass.

Even rustier Skids and Mudflap!?
My little bro will be pissed!

That three pack doesn't look too bad, either.

I need that 3-pack! So these sets here are Hong Kong exclusives or will they hit other Hasbro markets as well?

The 3 pack of Galvatron, Cyclonus, and Rodimus looks great. The animation styled colour scheme is very appealing to me.

Congrats on being right. Too bad that Classics Rodimus still looks like a **** KO. Whoopdeedoo.

Damn. Now I'll have 2 lylac Cyclonus!

JK. If this set is a Target exclusive as it's rumored, I'll be all over it once it goes on clearance. My sons will be stoked!

*If* it makes it to clearance. This might be very popular among fans.

I'll probably end up getting the three two packs and the three pack. I've got a Legends WFC Starscream on the way.

Love the galvatron repaint. But Ive already got rodimus and cyclonus(who looks quite good with animated figures, btw) :RENEGADE:

Wait a minute, that Arcee, isn't that same one as the TakaraTomy Elita-1? Or have people jumped to conclusions as per usual?

by **Delta_Magnus** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 7:24 am

Although I do have the Classics Galvatron, Cyclonus and Rodimus, I will still have to get that three-pack. The new paint scheme looks so much better the the originals and I liked the originals.

Yeah me too. i missed Cyclonus previously, hopefully RK might selling this three pack guys and I am going to grab it without second thought.

So KO Rodimus is an offical product. Wow, color me impressed. The only reason I would have for buying the three pack is Cyclonus. I already have it but the first version will become Armada. I also have the original Rodimus so KO Rodimus will only be kept in robot mode, I hate the windows. One of them will be used in the protector armor of course. Galvatron will go straight on eBay. The color sucks big time and the tank mode is so bland. I prefer my original Galvatron. Actually, I might keep it and use it for a head swap with Cybertron Evac to make SG Galvatron.

Ok, I just talked myself into getting this set :lol:

This set may be worth it for the Cyclonus alone.

News Credits: 251 · by **Mindmaster** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 8:34 am

So will the Classics 3-pack have an American release (please say yes)? I wouldn't mind having a G1 colored Cyclonus, and I need a new Galvatron (mine's legs keep popping off), and I never got the Rodimus figure. :lol:

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 10:01 am

Ewwww, so that Rodimus was the real deal? Fugly! Same goes for Galvatron too. Oh well, if it comes out in North America I might still pick it up so Rodimus can wear the armor, and that Cyclonus does look mighty nice.

by **Shadowstream** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 10:21 am

Rodimus is just plain blinding. I really don't see much point in going after this 3-pack myself, except maybe for an 'And His Armada', but even so I have an old classics Rodimus that I'm satisfied with and 2 Galvatrons that I can't get rid of anyway, so I'm not sure getting it just for another Cyclonus would be worth it. :-(

News Credits: 23 · by **Prime Evil** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 10:29 am

Not to keen on that Galvatron, but I figured he was going to be the lame duck of the group. That paint scheme does nothing for me for a mold I wish was bigger.

Rodimus...ok, the anime colors don't bother me so much. Not really needing another roddy, but I'll keep him. Not sure who to put in Protector armor...prob this guy.

Cyclonus: YESSSS!! Love this mold, can never have enough for me. Just adding another Con to Cyclonus's Armada. This one is the highlight of the set for me.

News Credits: 5749 · by **El Duque** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 10:37 am

I wouldn't mind getting the three pack just to have an extra classics Rodimus for the Protector armor when it comes out. The armor looks like it will cover most of the figure so this guy should be fine for that role.

News Credits: 11 · by **Overcracker** » Tue Jul 20, 2010 10:42 am

This 3 pack is worth it if only for the Cyclonus.

Cartoon Blue windows on Rodimus are kind of ugly. And he'll need some flame reprolables, but other than that he's quite nice. Even though I already have the original. And was planning on ordering the Sons Of Cybertron Set. Hmm so many Rodimii.

Galvatron, if only because I never picked him up when he was originally out, and what a Shelfwarmer he was.

MUST......... HAVE....... CLASSICS......... 3-PACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it would be so sweet to get the protector armor on this Rodimus and have it next to the ghostly crystal Rod from the Sons of Cybertron set. love the new paintjobs for Galvatron and Cyclonus to. the grey shoulders on universe Cyclonus always bugged me. i may have to switch the Nightsticks around. he looks better in black

I'm rather uninterested in the "Stick it to the public ONE LAST TIME" movie sets, but I'd rather enjoy getting a Blaster to replace the long-missing one from my childhood...
The Galvatron Cyclonus Hot Rod pack looks boss... all except Galvatron who looks like ass...
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Universe Galvatron hater, I love my U-Galvy... but those colours look terrible. If they wanted Toon accurate, why not alter the colour layout to more match the cartoon (approximately, since he's far less animation model looking than the other two) instead of keeping the same colourscheme with minor alterations in lighter colours. I hope next time they do a repaint of that toy they give him to us in G1 Toy/Marvel Comics accurate colours(Or, if you prefer, release him as "Galvatron II")

Well the 3-pack would be a "buy on sight" if Hasbro is brave enough to release it in Mass Retail on this side of the pond. Especially since I missed out on all of the Classics 1.0 and, just about, all of the Classics 2.0 figures. I especially could use the Hot Rod, to go with Generations Blurr and Kup... and I'm sure Galvy and Cyclonus would go well with Generations Scourge...
