    Plenty, except so far they've been in Universe 2.0 packaging. Hasbro originally said Universe would continue through the movie via exclusives anyway, we've got-

    Repack wise-
    -Dollar Store scout repacks (Cybertron Brushguard, Brakedown, and Backstop)
    -Warriors From 3 Worlds gift set (Cybertron Repugnus, Ransack GTS and Scattorshot)
    -Walmart Scout VS repacks (Movie Air Raid VS Storm Surge, Movie Clocker VS Hardtop)

    New stuff-
    -New Minicon 10 pack (all repaints of Classics molds)
    -Masterpiece Skywarp (Walmart)
    -Walmart Ultra's (G1 Powerglide, Skyfall/G2 Skyjack, Hardhead)
    -TRU Ultra's (already out, but Countdown and Darkwing)
    -Reissue Insecticons and Perceptor
    -Reissue SDCC Soundwave w/ Ravage, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw and Ratbat
    -SDCC metallic Mighty Muggs Optimus Prime
    -Titanium 6" Prime, Thrust and Hot Zone (Target)

    Shoe horned into ROTF-
    -Target Superion and Bruticus sets

    And probably more to come.

    It would also be amazing if you could find them in stores.

    I only ever saw legends Hound & g2 Megatron at k-mart.

    And they were 6/7 dollars each. :banghead:

    Universe 2 isn't officially dead yet (there's still Hardhead and that other guy coming out later....and maybe red Powerglide?) and you guys are clamoring for a Uni 3?

    Let's clamor instead for a continuation of Uni2! ;)

    If the final figure is anything like this, Drift is gonna be AWESOME!!! :thumb 

    It looks like the only Classics Shockwave we'll be getting will be just a repaint of his Energon equivalent... *sigh*

    Does anyone have a date on the release of the repaint Walmart Ultras? I'm literally counting the days.

    I heard they did a Universe Soundwave art.I also heard a Rhinox rumour.There were also rumours of other additions to the line.

    Either way,I don't think it's not over.

    My two biggest wishes are:

    1) More Decepticons. My Classics/Universe Decepticon shelf wants to cry.
    2) Continuation of the Beast Wars molds, hopefully more in the vain of Dinobot than Cheetor.

    If anything, Soundwave is really crying out for a Classics update. He can be something other than a tape deck and still be just as awesome.

    Hasbro should release MP3 Soundwave minus the electronics as a Classics/Universe

    Really, nothing yet, and I personally will consider it just a continuation of 2.0, as that's really what it is (atm anyways). If it's different enough, I'll consider it 3.0. We'll at least be getting more Deluxe class figures, though I wouldn't be surprised to see some larger scale figures too. We most likely won't hear/see anything to do with it until early next year, at the earliest, and even then it probably wouldn't be much, with most of the big reveals to be saved for Botcon and SDCC. Which reminds me, I'm looking forward to this years SDCC. Two and a half weeks to go.

    That is exactly what I was thinking.

    September 09' according to the Hasbro dsiplay at Botcon.

    Definitely want a Classics Shockwave, Stunticons, Insecticons (though the reissue will be nice), Sunstorm, third Rainmaker, Jazz, Wheeljack, Trailbreaker, Constructicons (proper new ones but this is a dream), Dinobots, and many many many MANY more!

    Skywarp was a Target exclusive that came with Ultramagnus. At the time Zellers wasn't selling Target Exclusives so we didn't get them up here.
