Man, I'm just not feeling the paint apps on these promos. *sighs* I'll pick up Cyclonus, just cause he's one of my favorite characters, but I think I might eventually import the Henkei version of him and Hound.

They're Beautiful!! I'm loving Hound and coming with Ravage, while odd, is awesome on top of awesome!

I've ragged on the new Classics/Universe 2.0 line for awhile now, but I must admit, some of the new figures look pretty damn awesome.

Hound is really cool, but Cyclonus... damn, that is one of the coolest TF figures I've seen in years. Probably the first Classics figure I'll actually buy.

The only reason I'm getting hound is ravage.

The packaging only makes these things look so much more tempting. I can't wait for them to be out! Also, I'm glad they put the Maximal logo on Cheetor's packaging though I wish they'd done it next to the logo.

Why is it that Ravage has the head of a bird (lazerbeak-ish) instead of a panther?

They look great. I bet the Henkei versions will be nicer colours, but those are good enough for me. Bring on the 25th anniversary! I wonder if they will put out a Grimlock for the 25th anniversary line?

Pretty good.

Every time I see Cheetor I like him more.

I'm assuming will see more Beastwars character updates if they went to the trouble of adding the "Beastwars Series" label to the box. hopefully will see a new Rhinox and Rattrap.

Cyclonus definitely needs some more paint apps. Hopefully Takara will produce a better looking one.

Oh god, I want Hound and Cyclonus. I almost want Cheetor, maybe just so the proper Transformers can beat the crap out of him.

Hey, anyone notice they're calling Hound and Cyclonus "Generation 1 Series", rather than "Classics Series" like figures in earlier waves of Universe.

I guess it's with the introduction of the Beast Wars and Armada characters. They don't want to make the distinction that those were not classic.

After viewing the final in package pics I feel disappointed with this line all of a sudden. I believe it is because these figures are plastic (new) trying to be metal (old) figures. Sigh.....wishes for the days of G1 again! I really do.

Plus, Metal toys are heavier and harder to stand up.

Maybe, but try attacking your sister with Classics Prime.

Not the same as G1 die-cast club-of-death Prime. :P
