    Sorry, I know most people don't want to think about it, but I feel Classics is going to be almost impossible to complete without going to BotCon.

    Well, I'm going to BotCon. But there are other things that I'd rather see.

    Such as Anime Accurate Astrotrain, Sunstorm, etc. Basically just keep it Classics molds, save for the mini-bots.

    Those Dinos and police car are Classics minicons. I hope they have a cameo with Cybertron Smokescreen, and that Classics Devastator makes an appearance.

    hypothetical fan-squeal moment...

    To the best of my recollection, Ultra Magnus wasn't in the Marvel G1 universe, except for the UK comic, where he was mostly from the future, and which we aren't sure FP is taking into account anyway.

    Supposing they explain why he isn't wearing armor, and why he does wear armor in the future. Maybe he gets badly injured or something. Not sure they'd do it, but would go a long way towards dealing with the complaints about Magnus always being a white Prime repaint, since at least there'd be a story reason for it.

    MAN! would Hasbro PLEASE stop giving all these girl Repaints heads that no other figure can come close to? I destroyed a Chromia and Slugslinger only to have the CLub Exclsuive Airazor come out anyways.... whats next? As it is I'd MUCH prefer these over more seekers.

    Who the heck is the one right above Ultra Magnus' head??

    Grimlock
    Ultra Magnus
    Swoop (Mini-con)
    Strongarm (Mini-con)
    Huffer (Cybertron Armorhide)
    Elita-1 (Cybertron Thunderblast)
    Springer (Cybertron CD Hot Shot)


    That makes me think that Huffer will be the freebie, and a Springer/Elita-1 pack as one of the special sets.....

    So it's like he's Anakin Magnus and we get to see him bloodied up and dismembered? I'm in!

    i really can't see why hasbro wouldn't want to continue a line that has so much potential for repaints as classics, i'd settle for those 3 new ones, plus the 4 missing seekers, a jazz made out of crosswise mold and sideswipe made from rodimus and you have almost 2 more waves without any new molds!

    damn botcon exclusives. ebay's gonna get most of my money the rest of the year.

    at least the comic will be easier to get.

    Most of UK Magnus' stories were on then present-day Magnus, weren't they? I thought only the Time Wars one was the one from the future.

    The back story for Classics is ONLY issues 1-80, Headmasters and TF vs. Joe. Basically, just the U.S Marvel released fiction up to and ending at Issue 80. so, with Springer and Ultra Magnus, you get variations on a theme, yet new at the same time. Elita 1 is a much younger version than her toon counterpart AND in this timeline she is a first of sorts.

    Target: 2006 Magnus was from Cybertron and was present day, that is the 1986 Magnus, not present day as in 2007. Or 2006.

    Ow.

    Suh-weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Judging by their looks, it seems that Huffer is a repainted Cyb. Armorhide, Elita-1's Cybertron Thunderblast repainted, and I THINK Springer may be Classics Rodimus painted green.

    But I wish these guys were exclusives! They'd HAVE to make the cut!
