    I'd still pick the Energon StormJet over this.

    I think we'll get Universe Superion and Brutcius.

    Powerglide is clearly visible, but it's too hard to tell who the other one on the side of the box is. Could just be Onslaught, but it could also be the 4th Ultra in the line. Hopefully it's another Decepticon, that way the Ultra's are evenly matched. Cyclonus would be a great option for the 4th Ultra in the line, imo. Would be even better if they gave him an alt-mode that looked like a B1 Lancer. Not exactly the best homage for Cyclonus, but it definetly works for him, imo.

    there are a ton of characters I'd rather see before Cyclonus.

    I'd love to see them remake all the 5 member combiners in this line and actually make them combine.

    Then they can release 4 members in universe and put the 5th members in a botcon set :lol 

    Fans would gather on the streets with torches and pitchforks :D

    Agreed. Very strange...

    Though for some reason Autobots jets have mostly ALWAYS been variations of red + white. Maybe it's the official colours of their air force?

    Jetfire
    Powerglide
    Silverbolt
    Fireflight
    Slingshot
    Scattershot
    Strafe

    heck, even SkyLynx, and arguably Swoop (toy colours, silver and red)...

    As for the Marvel TFs... I kind of like them. The colours are the weakest part of them, and that's just the nature of garish superhero costumes. I'll probably buy a bunch and behead them and turn them into Transformers bashes. :) 

    LOL!!

    Silverbolt!! SWEET! I can't wait for bot mode pics. Maybe they'll make the rest of the Aerialbots as well.. we need an updated G1 combiner BAD. I'd rather it be Menasor, but Superion would be my 2nd choice.

    It bothers me that the Stunticons haven't been released again properly. I hope Classics 2.0/Universe includes them! They would sell out like mad.

    I'll just say that Silverbolt's appearance emphasizes the notion that Powerglide needed much more red.

    I checked every packaging we could remove from the displays, and took notes or photos of any that were not on display. Silverbolt's box was stuck to the wall, but we could still see that the co-sell sides only included figures already on display (like Tankor, Prowl, Onslaught, etc). If there was another new figure on the packaging, I definitely would have photographed it.

    Wow! Superion! What a nice surprise.

    Hopefully the figure sticks to Classics/Universe Classics overall quality so far.

    Hot Spot is a great idea, and a toy that would fall into Hasbro's goal of having a mold that they can use on multiple characters.
