Why do the Classic 2.0 figures look of inferior quality than the Animated figures? Prowl & Sunstreaker almost look like WSTs.
And Octane/Tankor looks worse now, his wings are shrinking!
I hope Prowl at least gets his missiles painted... didn't previous pictures show him with a gun? I don't know, but that Crosswise disguised as Jazz is the best looking figures in that bunch, evenrthough i dislike that mold.

The classics are all mistransformed. That's probably why they looked better before, when they were transformed correctly that is.

These are not only horrendously mistransformed, but they are obviously painted prototypes, the final product will probably look much, much better.
Need more proof these figures are in mangled forms? Compare the photo of Botcon Blur to any Armada Blur repaint from the galleries and its easy to tell that this guy cant transform his toys at all.
While promising these pictures aren’t good for anything.

Prowl and Octane (no Tankor here...that's just stupid.) look fantastic. Sunstreaker still sucks, but what can you do?

These are poor pictures and I'm hoping everyones right and the Classics are mistransformed.

I don't know about these... maybe they ARE WST? I mean, compare this picture of Prowl here: http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/wizardun ... tftf13.jpg
and this picture of Sunstreaker here:
http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/wizardun ... tftf15.jpg
to the one in this picture.
Either that, or Hasbro has really screwed the pooch on paint applications...
My thinking? The "good" pictures are photoshoped colors. The "bad" ones in this thread are the Hasbro colors.

The old images look like nicely painted models, the new ones look like bare plastic.
I like the old ones better

Maybe those are knock offs? Anyways I'm sure Hasbro's actual release will see some much better looking TFs than what those were in the pics. I doubt they'd expect something of such crappy quality to sale, either to kids or to collectors. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Sunstreaker looks a little plain.
I find Tankor's HEMTT tuck mode a little disappointing. I have to see him in person before any conclusions can be made. But Prowl is the best of the bunch.

they are all mis-transformed..the images from the toy fair are most likely the real ones.

So Jazz is going to be in Universe Classics... right?
What was that black car with the blue flames, a Stunticon?

What is known about the Universe Legends class? Maybe that's what these are.

You mean this guy?
He is Botcon exclusive Blurr. Won't be released in Universe
And yes Jazz is supposed to be in Universe in later waves.

That Jazz figure is one of the BotCon figures if that is where the confusion lies.

The Nightbeat homage on page 3 is very nice. Anyone know if that's botcon exclusive or mainline?
