This comes as a surprise to most, but Ozformers member Griffin-of-oz has posted some pictures of the Austrailian Toy Fair. He only has a few pictures, but what he has taken shows us alot!

This is our first look at Ultra Class Universe Silverbolt, as well as the new Marvel Crossovers. In the pictures we see Wolverine, Venom, Grey Hulk, Human Torch and Spider Man. We also get a small peek at what Universe Sideswipe may look like Transformed (Universe Sunstreaker)

Griffin-of-oz has been kind enough to share pictures with everyone over at TFW2005. To check them out, click here

EDIT:

Thanks to Burn for pointing out something of importance to our Australian fans that Griffon-of-oz has reported on:

- Target Australia will have a store exclusive in July. Masterpiece Convoy/Optimus, apparently in Japanese packaging like the release of MP Ultra Magnus to Target a few years back. It will NOT be the MP04 Trailer version, it will be the MP01 version. Apparently there will be about 2000 units, which should see quite a few at each store (probably 30-40).

Good news Australia!

WHOAH! COOL! Sunstreaker posed as his brother Sideswipe! i can't wait for classics 2.0! So, is "ultra class" the new "voyager class" or is it bigger?

also excited to see the marvel crossover TF's. I wonder what they would think of next? WWE crossovers?...Batista transforming to a tank?...hmmm :-?

Silverbolt eh? Is that a new mould or is it an old one? Looks pretty cool either way.

As for the potential Sideswipe, he looks a bit odd due to the fact that his head seems to be set too far back

it would be great if hasbro will make all the members of the aerialbots in ultra class, then enable them to combine into a really big ultra-ultra classs SUPERION!!! that would be cool!

Re: UPDATE: New In Box Pic of Universe Silverbolt and More! (672373)
Posted by Tekka on April 4th, 2008 @ 8:48am CDT

I would imagine if he did combine the limbs would be small Voyagers or less. It would still make for a huge combiner.

Still that is an awesome looking Silverbolt, definitely preferable to Powerglide.

Wow, Sunstreaker does not at all live up to the promises made by the prototype images. He looks terrible. I mean, Classics Bumblebee has a lot of yellow too, but he doesn't look like a hunk of unpainted yellow plastic.

Re: UPDATE: New In Box Pic of Universe Silverbolt and More! (672379)
Posted by --B-- on April 4th, 2008 @ 9:02am CDT

Had we heard anything about Silverbolt yet, or is that really new news? Maybe he was supposed to be unveiled at BotCon?? I found it surprising that Onslaught and Powerglide were alone in that size, usually it's three to a case, so a third mold makes sense.

Can't wait to see better pics of all of them!!!

That's actually a prototype of Sideswipe.

You guys might want to check out the original posting here:

http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthrea ... 859&page=3

For clarification on somethings.

Apparently, as I suspected looking at the pics, there was no toy in the Silverbolt box.

Wow that is awesome, Venom WILL be eating some TF brains!

Silverbolt, cool I just hope these guys will combine, I mean him and Onslought.
I'm so hyped for this line, the Marvel TFs not so much, except Venom!

Silverbolt is in the classics line?

I wish I could of seen his robot mode

I'm liking these Marvel Transformers and I'm not even a Marvel fan

hey its silverbolt
i guess hes a new mold with lights and sounds, must have!
yellow sideswipe does look odd, i hope they give sideswipe and sunstreaker racing stripes or something, plain yellow and plain red is boring
wolverine looks good

Actualy it is Sunstreaker - just with his chest transformed like Sideswipe's will be.

Silverbolt needed an update, good choice. Now lets hope he will still combine.

Silverbolt looks fantastic. (I wasn't expecting this bit of news!)

We now have Onslaught and Silverbolt. To say that Combiners are out of the question, is just silly. Do they absolutely have to be Aerialbots or Combaticons? No.

I'm really liking how C/U2.0 is shaping up.

If Animated and C/U2.0 run the length of a normal line...they'll run right into TF2 summer 2009...if that happens, we're all going to be broke and taking out second mortgages, loans, etc. lol

Fact of the matter is...both lines are going to get the short end of the stick in favor of TF2. Just wait and see.

Posted by Autobot Jazz on April 4th, 2008 @ 11:49am CDT

Didn't expect Silverbolt, but it's pretty cool, though not sure yet if I'll pick him up or not. I wonder if this means that we'll see any other Gestalt team leaders like Motormaster. Sideswipe looks pretty cool, but I hope the final design makes him look more G1ish w/ a differnt head mold, a shoulde rocket and a red paint scheme.

Re: UPDATE: New In Box Pic of Universe Silverbolt and More! (672516)

Hells yeah on the Motormaster idea. A Hun-Grr would be cool too.

Ultra? Does this really mean they're axing the voyager class? Yeah i missed the ultra class from the beast war days but at least keep the voyagers too.

Silverbolt looks like hot stuff. Pretty G1 accurate, yet pretty modern too. Me likey.

Blaster's still a dissapointment, but Silverbolt makes up for it.

Can't wait to see the actual toy!

As for ultra, it's bigger and costs 25-30 dollers.

I fear you might be right. To be honest, I'm all movied out. It was fun while it lasted, but it'll be a while before I can get into that stuff again. I know some people probably can't wait till 2009, but it comes too soon for me.

Animated and Universe are showing soooo much potential it's not funny. But between U:C 2.0 and TF:A, I question whether they'll both get an adequate window of opportunity for them to be all that they oughta be.

If they're going to get the squeeze, I say time to start planing Classics 3.0 !

Silverbolt/Onslaught not only need their team members, but their rivals (Motormaster/Hotspot)!

Re: UPDATE: New In Box Pic of Universe Silverbolt and More! (672667)
Posted by Glitcher on April 4th, 2008 @ 4:57pm CDT

Aye, I'm all for an Ultra Motormaster and Hot Spot, gestalt or not. (Motormaster happens to be one of my favourite TF's.)

I'd swear that box art of Silverbolt is his G1 form. I hope the actual toy matches it. It would be nice to have a Silverbolt that doesn't suffer from skinny legs. But I wonder why he's no longer a Concorde.

Oh...

For some reason I expected a new BW Silverbolt mold. What is with these combiner leaders? Are they gonna make new Scramble City gestalts, or are these gonna be stand alone figures? I thought Onslaught was just a stand alone, but now with the presence of Silverbolt, I don't know.

For some reason it's sticking in the back of my head that the Team Leaders won't have their combiner counter-parts. But on the same note, I thought they were going to be doing a new Universe Combiner. Oh well, It would be pretty awsome to see some of the other Team Leaders. Ultra Scattorshot and Razor Claw would be pretty awsome too.

As for the Ultra and Voyager sizes. Ultra will be new molds and Voyager will be re-paints.

I can wish!

YAY!!!
I love Silverbolts realistic alt mode!
More marvel tfs weren't very surprising to me,
I knew they would make more than two.
Obviously, Gray Hulk is probaly going to be the same mold as the regular Hulk mold.

Yeah, I heard that it was gonna be about 25 bucks.
But for that badass Powerglide, Onslaught, AND now Powerglide, I will definately be willing to pay that price.

Whats up with the Power Puff Stars Wars plushies?
That Storm Trooper is so channeling a Powerpuff girl.

The Marvel Crossovers look interesting. I can just see the kitbashers repainting Spider-Man into Arcee or Elita-1
and Wolverine into Swerve or Brawn.

As for animated, where the bleeping bleep is Blitzwing. April is here and still not so much as a resin proto has leaked.

Wasn't Spider-man actually remolded from it?

As for Wolverine, seriously, it wasn't a challenge after Cybertron Overhaul...

Is there a chance for a Galactus figure?

Wolverine is my first pass for the Marvel line. If Spider-Man is a Vemon repaint, I'll be skipping him too.

The Hulk was a definite, but know that I know a grey version is due, I'm gonna hold off and see which looks better as I doubt Hasbro would come through with a new mold.

Either way, I will get at least 1 Hulk, as I do like the mold.

Spider-Man is a motorcycle. Venom is a muscle car. Looks like there is a Symbiote Spidey repaint though.

Can't wait to see these at BotCon, either in the flesh(er...plastic)in the display cases or at Hasbro Panel.
