YES! YES! YES! I knew Ironhide would see a Classics/Universe release eventually. To hell with Hasbro's claim of Animated characters not being released as Classics; this proves that Hasbro is willing to break their word to appease fans (I just hope the same goes for the Botcon Seekers). I'm disappointed with Sideswipe. I was hoping Hasbro would replace Sunstreaker's engine block with an spring-loaded shoulder cannon. He even has Sunstreaker's head! It's Classics Cliffjumper all over again. Oh well, at least we have Bluestreak who can transform into Silverbolt. Isn't that something? 8)

What's with the Autobot symbol thing with that Prime?

I would imagine it's a stand, but it looks really thick.

Prime and Ironhide are a must for me, but I'm a little disapointed with Siverbolt's robot mode, and I'm not much of a fan of Ironhide or Sideswipe. Very nice figures still.

Hot diggity! Ironhide, is awesome.

Hopefully Sideswipes head will be tweaked to where the ears are removed or kept inside the head permanently.

The Autobot shield is an electronic box with voices and phrases.

They basically took G2 Prime and redid him back to G1 Prime.

Damn those look fantastic! I'm so glad they colored the top part of Sideswipes chest black. Bluestreak looks amazing, Ironhide looks amazing, Silverbolt looks amazing!

I really hope they put up pictures of Cyclonus and Hound.

I knew they would do a Hound! 8)

There is a Sideswipe with a correct head in the cabinets at Botcon (see tformers gallery) I assume the finished version will have a rocket launcher too - it'd be a shame if he didn't

I knew they would do a Hound!

Two Hounds - there's a legends one too!!

Oooh... 25th Prime... I may have to get that. My parents should still have my original G1 Prime in their loft, but it's broken (well used when I still played with toys :grin:), so I'd like a new one to display.

I think it's a bit odd that Sideswipe still comes with the engine and the ears, but I can always pretend it doesn't :)

Silverstreak's bot mode looks suspiciously like Silverbolt's. You'd think Hasbro would get their own site right :D

Ironhide's alt mode seems to be full of joins, so is very messy :(

Those all look great, that Silverstreak looks way better than Prowl.

I'm sad Sideswipe has no shoulder cannon.

Wish they'd post pics of the others...

Holy cow...Ironhide has a few lines showing...maybe they are age lines? :-P

Counting down to Smokescreen repaint...

Honestly, I'd hoped they'd come up with something better for the 25th. I'll get all of them...including this new Seeker repaint Acid Storm...but ironhide is probably staying in robot mode. You suppose they can do that mold as Rathet too? :-?

Love that 25th Anni OP! That Autobot Shield that has sounds and phrases intrigues me. They better use Peter Cullen's voice.

These are BEAUTIFUL

Ironhide looks way superior to the Botcon exclusive did

I don't care about the repaints but wished Sideswipes head was different

....and Silverbolt has his old G1 face

Pest.

Links? I can't find Hound or the alternate Sideswipe head.


Tformers Gallery

I expect Seibertron will have the pics up soon.

What is your deal? That's two or three posts of your's that are considered flame bait. Seriously, get over yourself.



Back on topic...

Hasbro has really outdone themselves in design department this time 'round.

Sideswipe is proof that you can take a crappy mold, slap on a nice paint job and make it look buy worthy.

Ultra Magnus is not only made of win, but he pwns souls with his hammer of awesome.

Ironhide was something out of left field, but welcome nonetheless. Great vehicle and robot modes, even though he's all...panel-y. (Granted, I realize he's a proto in the pics.)

Silverbolt just gets better and better with each viewing.

Bluestreak (I refuse to call him anything but his G1 name) is handled quite nicely. It's great to see G1 done the *right* way.

Sentinel Prime comes with his sword and shield...pure, unbridled joy.

Swoop...looks like he just climbed out of the screen. These Dinobots get better in plastic. (too bad their 'toon counterparts aren't too terribly great.)

25th. Prime...eh, not so much. Although I do like the idea of the digitally remastered MTMTE pilot. Still...$70.00 just for me to get the DVD...no. hope the rest of you enjoy him.

I want Animated sooooo bad.
