Marvel experts, do Captain America and/or Thor have any other famous/popular costumes that these could be redeco'ed into?
I'm holding out hope for some more cohesive alt modes here.
Captain America can be redecoed into the current Captain America, who is actually Bucky. That costume has metallic red, and blue on the torso, and black for most of the rest of the body except for the gloves. Or it can be redecoed into U.S. Agent.

Thor can be repainted into the current Thor costume, which has no yellow aside from his hair, its preominantly silver,black, and red, with maybe some blue but I think its for trim/highlights.

Neat idea, but part of what makes Cosmos (IMO) is his fireplug-like proportions, and the standard Muggs body with that paint looks more like a Medabots refugee to me.

Captain "Bucky" America's costume, while different, retains much of the same base colors as the original Captain America, so I don't see that as a good recolor. USAgent's red, gray, black and white could be a good choice, but would a USAgent figure sell? I also think a "night ops" Captain America repaint could be a choice.

No idea about Thor. Beta Ray Bill, that Thor from the 26th Century, Woden and company feature mostly the same colors.

Haven't seen the pics (yet), but that description fits G1 Inferno perfectly.

And since Inferno was my very first TF, the news about a new one has me

Are all these expected to be the same size? Dipping into Voyager class stuff would be cool, but may screw up the look a bit if one of the characters was HUGE compared to the others.

Yeah, I believe they're like the Star Wars figures where everyone in the line is done at the 'old school mega' price point ($14.99 in BW) and at their size too. No announcements of anything like Star Wars' Han & Chewy (and hopefully we don't get any strange combiner guys...) or Death Star Vader.

Unless they did someone like Fin Fang Foom (and what would he turn into... or would they make the Dragon form his alternate mode and than give him a giant robot mode? Hmm...) or perhaps Galactus (I could see him transforming into his world ship...) I don't really see them doing one at the $49.99 price point.

Now, if they were to do a Sentinel, Giant Man, Apocalypse... I could see them working at the Ultra price that was used for the Han & Chewy love pack... I mean two pack.

Yeah, that's also what I was thinking

Dig the expanding shield though, if only animated sentinel prime had gotten that treatment.

Ultimate Captain America has barely any red. His gloves and boots are brown leather. Best pics I could find quickly were of his Legends figure:

Well, if they had Ant Man as Giant Man instead, a large figure would have been in scale...

Swindle looks like a good'un

A little surprised we didn't see follow up on some items previewed in gray proto form at the Botcon presentation, such as Wreck-Gar and Universe Hot Shot.

Universe Inferno - so there WILL be at least one new-mold Voyager in Universe. Too bad he's kinda thick-lookin' in robot mode with the whole vehicle front filling out the torso. I wonder if it will be reworked as Grapple, or if I should grab one of them Movie Mudflaps.

Universe Hound and Cyclonus (and Ravage) look pretty excellent.

Kudos to Universe Cheetor having more cheetah-like proportion, though the robot mode appears a little goofy, probably mis-transformed, and the cheetah head on the chest sorta looks like it should be going "HAY EVER'BUDDY!"

Still lookin' forward to stuff, though there's not a ton of new here. A little ironic that with as much rumored emphasis on Universe/25th anniversary we were hearing about, there seems to be more info about Animated not previously seen at Botcon than Univ/25th.
I want to see pics! Any posted yet?

I still vote for a Sentinel, it would work so beautifully.

Well, yes and no. The big difference I see is that, while Gen 1 and Universe Inferno appear to transform similarly, Universe is a shorter vehicle, which equates to proportionately shorter legs. (also Universe doesn't have all the stuff around the head that Gen 1 did). To me, Universe Inferno is looking a lot like a robot costume made out of a refrigerator box.

Though I really want to know why Shockwave has two "normal" eyes in addition to his big red cyclops eye. I thought in the few shots we've had of his face in Shockwave form on the show, he's just had the one big eye.

Blur looks awesome. And I'll probably pick up CJ. I wonder if he will come to earth at any point? If so, and that really will be his alt mode, I want to know who would have a flashing blue light on top of their vehicle? If it's just because it was their in the mold, I wonder if it would have been too hard to have no light on either CJ or BB, and then separately glue on BB's light.

Cheetor looks awesome. I'm going on the assumption that he was mistransformed as you thought.. or else his shoulders need to be a *little* higher.

Anyone know why Ravage comes with Hound? Any chance we will see a Classics Soundwave? That would be kind of cool to have Sounwave come with one or two tapes, and others released as bonuses with other deluxes.

It's a homage to a scene in a certain G1 episode.

Gah, my memory of such things has weakened with time...

If someone wanted to send me the whole of G1, I'd stop asking such silly questions
Silent_Magnus:
On Classics Soundwave, Hasbro has said a few times that the TRU Reissue Soundwave was good enough and that they don't have any plans of making a new one anytime soon.

Wow! The new grievous Transformer looks great!

Lame.

I just got a really good deal on a Music Label Soundwave though, so he will go into my Classics collection for now. If only he had room for ravage in his tiny little memory card holdin' chest. I agree with others who have previously posted this: remove the electronics and do a little retooling (more space for tapes, perhaps, and a larger "battery" area that would actually store his weapons), and you'd have a nice Classics Deluxe Soundwave.

Or just release some transforming MiniSD cards and I'll be happy
