Ok, a small bone. It's an existing character, not something I made up. For the money youse guys are paying, I'd at least want there to be half a chance the character you make is one you might care about.

Hey, I realize that it isn't much, but at least it's something. I know quite a few people are disappointed with the new character "Bugbyte" in the box set, so this should come as a relief for the ones who feel this way, and were lucky enough to get in the class.

If that is the case, would they be more likely to use newer molds such as the classics, or would they bust open a case of cybertron surplus and use those?
Like I said I don't know how the class works, if any of you out there have taken the class, can I get your best guess on the questions above?
Thanks!

So my guess? I have to agree with the Sunstorm theory. He's an existing character, but has not appeared in the comic, nor is he essential to have (although I would want one though).

BTW - Wouldn't it be a piss if they did do Sunstorm, and they used spare Thundercracker parts to make him?

Astrotrain: No
Bumblebee: Yes, but has already had two repaints
Mirage: Not really
Grimlock: Nope
Dirge: Already has been repainted into other coneheads.
Hot Rod: Could be repainted into another character, Blurr perhaps? Maybe even a Sideswipe/Sunstreaker/Red Alert..
Starscream: Has been repainted already into other well nkown seekers bar Sunstorm.
My money is on Sunstorm.

Perhaps Rodimus into menasor(or whoever) Like the titanium they are doing

More likely it would be something like Mirage, who'd get the Drag Strip treatment. But again, that's a lot of paint and priming for a mixed group. Maybe a Classics Megatron from the two-pack as Bludgeon.
But the class is getting an EXISTING figure. There was no sculpting last year - just assembling the figure provided. We only have eight hours here.

I wish I knew!
So many bots I've mutilated before mastering the art of part switch repair. My kitbash skills are still weak, but growing. My Classics Thrust will be my finest achevement to date(expected time of finish, sometime during 2009)

With this in mind, I have changed my guess to the Mirage mold. Want to know who I think it will be?
G2 Deluge!!!
If it happens to be so, I won't be mad, as I plan on making one on my own as well.
