    Silverbolt even has the little wings on his shoulders. Awesome.

    Looks more like Blaster's minicon buddy is called "Blockrock", not Blackrock.

    Wow that Silverbolt look very nice. I never heard of him being in classic before this topic though :confused:  Oh well, yet more toys to buy ... :(

    Looks awesome. The only thing I'm disapointed about the Classics2.0/Universe line is the fact that they aren't combiners. I mean how difficult is it to make them combiners? Sure we love the characters but if they were combiners we're more inclined to buy them all.

    off the top of my head, I'd say...very difficult. At this scale, they'd need to be fully-articulated robots, and limbs, as well as still transforming in order to be anything but a giant, unappealing brick.

    We tried to take photos of the back of packaged figures, but most were glued to the wall (like Silverbolt) or shelf, so we couldn't move them to even see other sides. The Silverbolt box was way up the top, so it was difficult enough getting a front-on pic. But the co-sells didn't show any unknown figures, while the rest of the box was a rough mock-up anyway.

    Awesome! Can't wait to see pics of the real figure. I hope Ultras are significantly larger than voyagers though and not just a way to get more $.

    That is one hell of an upgrade for Silverbolt now that I think about it. He went from high speed passenger plane, to stratobomber!

    G1 Silverbolt was awesome, and this toy looks even better, I am a huge fan of the Aerealbots (sp?) and superion. I would be very excited about a new Superion super-bot!

    It would be awesome if a prototype for him and Silverbolt were displayed at Botcon. That way we get a good look at them, and confirmation that we'll be getting an Ironhide in the line.

    Silverbolt looks very promising! Combiners are cool, but I really don't need him to be one.

    Actually, $24.99 has been Hasbro's MSRP all along, through the end of Cybertron.

    See here: http://www.hasbro.com/playrewards/default.cfm?page=products/catalog&brand_id=496&pg=27

    I've never understood why TRU and W*M charge more. W*M, especially -- it was "only" $26.47, but still. I've always tried to get my Ultras from Target, Meijer, or HTS.

    Don't know if Ultras will still be $25 for Universe, though.

    Universe Silverbolt will just LOOK at G1 Silverbolt funny and the original toy's hip hinges will break.

    That's gotta be one of the most badly-designed G1 toys in the line - you put a stress point (a weak one at that) directly above an area that requires you to twist the appendage.
