What "exclusive" is Titanium Skywarp gonna be for? Some sort of convetion? or a normal store that one can at least get to?

SDCC

Nice clear photos - a nice change from some other sites' 'fuzzfests'

Hmm. This is rather strange. All the galleries show Sideswipe having his own head(it's not the best one but it's still good) yet the Hasbro photos show him as having Sunstreakers head. What's the dillio on that eh? Anyway most of the new toys(from every line) look great. I mean MAN. That Deep Space Starscream kicks ass!

Photo's taken by Hasbro have to be screwed up somehow, it's the law!

Damn it, and i hoped that no USELESS repaints would come to the Ani Line.
Patrol BB? ACADEMY BB?
SRSLY WTF.

The activator Lockdown is definitely the worst.


Woah, a Hasbro reissue of G1 PRIME. this guy is going to sell for insane prices on eBay.

Crankase is sweet. Breakaway aswell, but he doesn't fit the movie line.

Universe legends are AWESOME. I'm so getting Jazz and hound. Even though the prototypes looks bit shitty.

Looks like the universe sunstreaker mold could be kitbashed into punch/counterpunch, since he can be transformed in two ways...

For Roadbuster, it looks like they saw some vomit on the floor and based his colorscheme on it. :-(

That green Seeker reminds me of the unproduced G2 camo Seeker we saw a while back -

Roadbustah yayz!

Comment by Sentinel Pax Apr 27, 2008
Roadbuster would look so much better with a new head mold and...not puke green tires. Black tires would look a lot better. Other than that, I think that mold is a good update. But he would look amazing with a new head, dangitt!

Why is animated megatrons cannon on the wrong arm?

Nice picture as always can't wait for them to be released.

The G1 Prime reissue looks great... except that I they would use the Music Label head mold instead of the old one. And I wish the eyes and windows were blue.

Also, will this 25th Prime be another store exclusive, or will it be general retail?

Either Hasbro mirrored the original image, which can be found here http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=News/Item&newsid=809F172F-D56F-E112-4586B28291BB15B5, like they always do

OR it might be a mistake, but the cannon looks like it rests on its own rectangular piece that can hopefully be removed, so it may be able to go on either arm. :-?

I agree, the repaints aren't all that great. Why would they keep BB head totally yellow when the car is so dark?

Activator Lockdown is a little "overweight"

Crankcase is a tad tooo blue for me :-(

I hope Sideswipe comes out as he looks here, because that head is soo much better than a repainted head.

Dunno if that is sarcasm, but that is Ironhide, and he looks okay. Using the back window as the chest was really clever. Though his vehicle mode has too many "lines" and a lot of the windows are painted that strange blue! :sad:

I saw a legend size Hound in the images, is there any chance we might see a deluxe sized Hound?

There will of course be more new molds than what we've seen in these photos right? Or does this sum up everything?

Hope not.

There is a deluxe Hound on the way, and he's going to come with a Ravage that fits into the Reissued Soundwave.
Not sure about anything else, but you'd assume at some point we'd see a Ratchet figure since they've made such a good looking Ironhide mold.

Also, I read that once the 2nd movie figures come out, Universe will be "stalled", but WILL come back.
AND, at some point, they will make Combiners, but because they're difficult to make and "the timing isn't right" with everything else going on,
these are on hold.

Along with Ratchet I think it's also reasonable to expect Smokescreen and Red Alert to get Deluxe Universe releases at some point.

The Dirge looks extremely good, and the Sideswipe looks a lot better from the original Hasbro pics. A more true to form Ironhide??? Who'd a thunk it? I wonder if they've finally got some fanboys working for Hasbro?

Comment by timothyVritchey Apr 27, 2008
is it just me or is anyone annoyed yet with the way some of the figures are posed? like i dont expect them to put the figures in amazing poses.. but at least have their legs straight.. you know.. make them look tough.. leader class animated megatron's legs make him look like he's a little school girl waiting at a bus stop having to pee real bad.
