Dear TFSource:

Please acquire the Ultra Magnus armor and Cliffjumper upgrade. I will be forever grateful.

Smasher:

No, thats a made up repaint of Megatron. The comic was done before any pictures of Takara's megatron popped up. In the comic, this megatron repaint is called "Megarior" or something. Theres a full view of the comic in one of the other Ultra Magnus armor threads, if you go and look.
Railguard:
Well, I hope they release these trailers to the public because one...I can't read Japanese, and I really can't afford to pay the OUTRAGIOUS price it will go for on ebay. I've already sold a bunch of my GI joe stuff on ebay for the upcoming Universe stuff and I would rather find it in Walmart for like 19.99 then on ebay for 100+!!!Not to mention the Ultra Magnus trailer!!! AAArrrggghhh!!!! I need to find a better freakin job.
BigRC83:
Perfect. Another tf accessory I want but cannot afford.
Constructicon_BC:
Well if you pay attention closely the CJ kit was only about a 100 bucks on eBay recently...

The Trailer will not be made in great quantities (as with UM and CJ kits), this is true for all customs.

Stay tunned, there will be more cool stuff for Classics Prime...
Brave Magnus:
OMG! that UM upgrade looks very promising and those manga pages are beautiful. MORE, MORE!
Zress Tayasu:
someone should con hasbro into buying the design for that magnus armor off these guys and then sell the armor online (at a manageable price). XD
and as someone mentioned, make a powermaster OP head for a repaint of it.

the prime trailer these guys are doing... well... like G1, it's kinda plain. needs an axe and other option weapons stashed in it. XD
giga-galvatron:
I wanna buy them both but the CJ set was 90 bucks for only a head and some new guns. I hope these arent too expensive..
alien:
well, not bad. will get it.
Codimus Prime:
If it doesn't cost an arm and a leg... maybe.
Poho:
whats with the red/white blackout?

The display card says "Blades" so I'm guessing this is someone's attempt at a custom Protectabot. Pretty good job too... except you can clearly see a lot of the paint lines.
Tech Spec:
Man i'm bummed.... was hoping that Prime trailer would be his Apex Armour

Still both trailers are very cool
kronos:
i swear i read somewhere that someone was trying to aquire the UM set for a MSRP of $40. I tried searching but couldnt find it. If thats the price, im all over it.
razorchrist:
I dunno... I guess I'm still not really seeing anything in that Magnus trailer yet. A bunch of blacked out images isn't selling me on it. I'll wait to see some colored pics.
Grimlock_13:
Nothing special at all. I'm not saying I wouldn't be interested, but if the CJ upgrade kit is any indiciation these things are laughably overpriced.

Looks like repaints of the RobotMasters toys.

[edit] Wait, no they don't!
OptimusPrimopoulos:
Is that a real head on Ratchet or a cardboard cut out? See last picture at the bottom of the page from the link provided.

That is indeed what it is. It was first posted months ago - a quick search will probably find half a dozen threads dedicated to it.
Wraith Prime:
I've still yet to get my hands on a blade for Optimus Prime. Is there anyplace other than Ebay to get these?

Hopefully the online retailers will be able to pick up these new upgrades too.
newguy:
i want that blackout like figure
Synthetic Breed:
As long as the Prime trailer isn't over 25.00, I'll give in.
catch22:
The UM armor is great, but the price is gonna be fuckin outrageous.
REDLINE:
not necessarily, supposedly going to have a much larger number of them produced. I expect to see them on BBTS and TFSource, and probably other sites as well.
Lumpy:
yeah, i really think the price will be around 40 bucks for magnus, and 30 for prime...

$55-$75 was what I remember hearing the Magnus armor would go for. But that could change. I've spent a ridiculous amount of money on my classics collection already and nothin will stop me from getting both of the upcoming kits.

And! On a side note, I just got a package delivery slip in my mailbox saying my Cliffjumper kit has arrived! Get to pick it up tomorrow!!!!
Bryan:
I'd love all their stuff, but it's just such a pain in the ass to buy.

Wish TFSource or Fan2Fan would get working with him.
airfox:
I think the Magnus armor could turn out to be a great piece. Hopefully it'll be available easy at online retailers (a la MP Starscream's coronation kit).

But Prime's trailer? No, sir. Don't like it.

I bought the trailer for MP-1 because MP-1's alt mode looked very much like G1 Prime (not perfect, but close) so a trailer enhanced it.

But Classics Prime looks great without any trailer. I guess I'm in agreement with Ray here:

That's what classics is supposed to be, G1 characters done with modern toy sensibilities/awesomeness. Plus Roller doesn't make much sense with the little Diaclone men taken out of the equation.
QFT!
