    Except that the Aveo isn't a Classics mold, but TF: Movie style one.

    C-07 and C-08 are probably Cliffjumper and the deluxe Optimus mold from the two pack. That's been re-painted as Ultra Magnus and given a transforming trailer! (a man can dream cant he :D )

    True, but Swerve is a G1 character, not a movie one. Plus they have to pump out more units of this mold somehow to recoup the r&d costs of it.

    Actually, I have the Aveo mold and it really looks better with Classics than with the Movie line. The movie toys tend to have more detailing built into their arms and more paneling in the legs. He can go either way, but I really see him as a Classic more than a Movie toy. Hopefully, we will all find out for sure one way or another.

    As long as I get SOME version of that mold, I'll be happy. Preferably in black, as it matches my Chevy Aveo :)

    maybe, just maybe... one of them is the deluxe optimus prime, repainted as ultra magnus? OR maybe it's mirage repainted? or astrotrain as an autobot? lol *white*?

    If we get Mirage repainted, I hope it's Drag Strip, even if he doesn't have the visor.

    maybe they've taken a clue from the kitbashers? maybe it will be like bumblebee repainted/remolded slightly as wheeljack or something too?

    though this seems a little far fetched.

    though, one more thought is it COULD be, a cybertron toy, repainted as well...

    like evil jazz repainted as good jazz?

    one more thought...

    you know it is possible...

    they ARE universe guys? sunstreaker/prowl?

    If they did Universe Sunstreaker with his original concept chrome rims, that would be awesome. And if they did both Sunstreaker and Prowl with rubber wheels, I'd love them forever....but seeing as how the first Japanese Classics didn't have rubber wheels, I don't think that would happen. :(

    there is also always the option of police streak? lol

    any how, rubber tires or not, i'd love to see what takara can do to streaker/prowl

    maybe, just maybe, they're whole new molds, we haven't seen before :eek: 

    *here's hoping for hound* lol!

    I would sell all my vital organs if that were true...

    Wait, I think you mean Cybertron Downshift with a G1 accurate deco. The Energon Wheeljack/Downshift was a uber-homage with the proper G1 deco already there.

    I'd personally like to see 2.0 Prowl with Japanese Police tampos just for kicks.

    I'll probably end up buying every Henkei release simply because I've been so impressed with them thus far.

    That said, if the other Cybertron ends up being 2-pack Prime, I will be totally going back on my previous statement.
