UPDATE: New In Box Pic of Universe Silverbolt and More!

Posted by Down_Shift Apr 4, 2008 at 7:55am CDT 20,114 views
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!

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

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!

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.

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.

:APPLAUSE: Agreed!
...of course I can hear the conversation with my girlfriend already...
"Either Ultra-ultra Class Superion goes, or I go!!!"
Decisions, decisions... :BLACKEYE:

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

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!

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.
