    Good news all around. As others have stated, I'm impressed that it looks like Hasbro bypassed the easy seeker repaints and gave us either a new mold or a remold to Starscream. This also gives me hope that Cliffjumper will be more than just a straight repaint of Bumblebee.

    I can't think of a single thing to hate on in this news. Others have tried and failed. I commend you!

    Any idea of when to expect these? 1Q07?

    Indeed. Good to restate. This was not some sort of massive info leak from within the design team, or the Transformers Club Council.

    Well, the 20th Prime re-release had long stacks in what I saw. And we know now from sources inside Hasbro (and double confirmed with S250's news) that those long stacks are not making it through to the shelves.

    So I'd say most of them are pretty much complete, save a few changes whether it be slight coloring or a piece or two getting trimmed.

    A lot of this stuff is due out in November, all released with the 20th Anniversary of the movie edition. I don't know how some of it hasn't shown up yet on Ebay or in the usual circles.

    I really hope Jetfire looks like his G1 cartoon design that would kick some major arse. From what was described it sounds like it might.

    I'm most excited by the Titanium G1-style Scourge... Now I can begin to create a Sweep Army worthy of Galvatron & Cyclonus.

    I've got a scary feelin' that Classics Cliffjumper and Ramjet are straight re-paints with no alterations.

    Good news about Mirage, but I would've preferred someone more important like Jazz, Prowl, or Ironhide (there's no re-paint potential w/ Mirage unlike those just mentioned; also Mirage was re-done already, albeit in a lame way, in Robotmasters).

    Hopefully Tit. Cheetor will be Season 1 based so that I can put him beside my RM Primal.

    Tit. Magnus and Rodimus sound like there's potential...

    I'm hoping Classics Ramjet doesn't get the shaft by simply repainting Starscream in Ramjet colors. I'm thinking along the lines of Armada Starscream and Cybertron Starscream getting colored in those dark reds and blacks.

    Saturday is new stuff. I was going to mention 20th Prime, but already did that in S250's thread. I do have a few extra bits of information on his release though.

    Classics do have die crap or not? If not guess the packaging and the fact its not a main line must be why its deluxe figs are more expensive.

    *hopes honestly they don't have die crap but KNOWS everyone else wants it*

    Classics stuff sounds promising, though I dislike the repaints coming out so soon... and as always, there are way too many autobots!

    Titanium stuff sounds cool, especially the transformable Optimal Optimus and Cheetor!

    Minicons sound... strange. I don't like the idea of selling them in the classics line (it means we'll have to wait longer for them) - the alt modes sound cool - but I hope we get those beast minicons we're hoping for.

    pssst... I wonder if Kickback remembered to ask about the Universe Seacons...

    I wonder if they'll do a Classics Hound? He's always been a classic to me and people seem to always forget about him.

    But I'm most looking forward to the Soundwave, I wonder if he'll still be a tape-deck/boombox? If Megatron kept his G1 gun mode...

    This weekend is gonna be fun on the bun.
