Thanks to Transfan2 of the 2005 Boards for the news.

We've been given an image of the upcoming Classics figures Grimlock and Mirage. This is the first "in color" image of Classics Mirage to surface, as well as the first toy image of Classics Grimlock.

The picture is small, but there's speculation that part of Grimlock's weapon may actually be his sword.

Enjoy.

Thanks to an anonymous source, we have an image of the upcoming Transformers Classics figure Jetfire.

Click here to see Classics Jetfire!

You will see in this image that he retains a lot of the look seen in Don Figueroa's work in the recently released "Stormbringer" series by IDW Publishing. This figure is voyager sized and is part of "wave 2" of Transformers Classics, which Hasbro says will be shown at this year's BotCon.

There is a rumor that the figure has TWO heads - a helmet giving him the G1 Jetfire toy head, and then his sculpted head which is more like the G1 cartoon of Skyfire.

Also seen in the top corner is a colored Classics Mirage figure.

Thanks to an anonymous source for the news.

During the Comic-Con rush of the weekend, we must have skipped over this one. Hasbro has added the bios and in-package pics of the Transformers Classics figures in one easy to find spot. Check them out Here.

Transformers.com has updated with the following announcement:

"Attention TRANSFORMERS fans of all ages! Prepare to travel back in time to the era when ‘ROBOTS IN DISGUISE’ ruled the universe as HASBRO showcases the TRANSFORMERS CLASSICS line at Comic Con!

This fall, Hasbro will pay a special tribute to the rich history captured in the TRANSFORMERS saga with the TRANSFORMERS Classics line of figures that feature updated versions of G1 favorites. The figures have a more detailed face and body, resulting in a more comparable appearance to the character seen on the original TV show and animated movie

S250 has posted the following on our forums:

"according to BlueRainGirl of actoys.net
too bad,no images

Classics Mirage:
great vehicle mode,but robot mode is slim and not so good looking,especially his weapon

Classics Grimlock:
just like that color scheme image

2pack G1 OP
not RM mold,but the pose ability is at same level.some gimmicks in the body,not traditional weapon.

2pack Megatron
not G2 mold,new mold,better than G2(looking and articulations),inner gimmicks,the tank looks like mixed G2,Armada and TWW together."

The original thread at ACToys.net can be seen Here.

Some of this info is very similar to what our very own Kickback had reported on Here.

Behind the Toys has a gallery online that depicts the transformation of the upcoming Classics Bumblebee figure. You can check it out by clicking here and following the links.
