Maybe we get Classics Megatron again?
Sentinel Pax:
Uh, this isn't really TF related, but what's this "Wolverine and the X-Men" crap? Last time I checked, Wolverine was a member of the X-Men. I do like that TFA Decepticon set-up, though.
Autovolt 127:
I like the classics Megatron.
Ravenxl7:
Cool. I wouldn't mind another chance to get a Classics Megatron to make my own G1 inspired repaint of the mold.

I do like that TFA Decepticon set-up, though. | It's simply truth in advertising. Every other member of the X-Men has always been second-fiddle to Wolverine since his introduction. Any attempts to make a different character stand out resulted in convoluted backstories that are best left forgotten in the 90s.
B-Fox:
That picture of Megatron....
Somebody needs to shop all the Universe artwork so that all the bots and cons are facing in the same direction and looking at something amazing.
frenzy.mp3:
Hey sorry for the off topic comment, but (if you can) how much is it to get in to SDCC upfront?
Thanks =)
Razorclaw:
I would like to to mention that the big MOTU statue is not of King Randor but of King Grayskull (first mentioned in the 2002 cartoon series as the ancestor of Prince Adam, whos power is contained in the sword).
ActionMasterZod:
Brainnsss, BRAIIIINNNNNSSSS
Dirge121:
That General Grievous and bodyguards display is pretty snazzy.
Chaos Prime:
Do I see Castle Greyskull? He-man's making ANOTHER come back?!
Fort Max:
Nice race car, I presume that's Anakin's pod racer in it's Earth form?

shroobmaster:
Man that Animated official box art montage looks awesome, I wish somebody would post the full pics of everybody ala Marcelo Matere.

I'm actually kinda surprised they haven't announced him and Prime being put in the Uni Voyager line (they'd be hella better than everything announced so far)
Fosterlager:
Also, Megatron shipped in only one wave of Classics. I'm sure there were fans who missed out.

Megatron is only 1 of 3 (Cliffjumper & Prime/Megs 2-pack (which is getting re-released for KB Toys)) that he needs to complete the Classics line.
I managed to snag my Classics Megatron when he appeared in stores, but they soon vanished, only for the shelves to be clogged with Primes and Jetfires all the way to the debut of movie figures. My brother never found himself a Classics Megatron, this would be great for him.
Christopher-2:
Looks like this Megatron's got a case of the infamous "Dull Surprise".
Deceptigtar:
i would love to have that animated banner!

WeirdMetamorphosis:
So is all that stuff ComicCon exclusives ? Cause I wouldn't mind having the Iron Man Mighty Mugg.
Ktulu:
Urghhhh I wish I was goin so bad
Thundershot:
I'm surprised these guys haven't shown up on hasbrotoyshop's website yet with "coming soon"... its only a few days away.
Chris
Dropshot:
Not much shown, but I'd love to see Megatron again since I don't own that mold.

Thanks =) | it (was) $30 per day i believe.
you can still get tickets though...at rediculous prices of course. try craigslist or ebay
PoweredConvoy:
Wasn't said at Botcon 2007 that Classics Megatron, released as he was 2 years ago couldn't be released like that now due to even stricter rules? I remember someone saying that.

Randy | I don't remember anything about Classics Megs from all the Botcon threads. It doesn't sound like it's something they would say. As it was when the designed Megs they wanted to stay as far away from breaking any of the toy restrictions, so it would make sense that if they are stricter, that it could still pass as something they could sell at mass retail. I personally don't see how they wouldn't be able to re-release him, though a part of me can't see them doing it anyways.

I'm kinda curious how Classics Megs violates the toy restrictions. I'm not sure how anybody could confuse him for a real gun. Especially with the colors on him, let alone the shape of him. Kinda odd that they would go and get box art made for a toy that they now can't sell.
Bumble Prime:
the box art is rather uninspiring though lol
when i got the universe deluxes, the box art was a big wtf reaction from me....
i know they are trying to follow the movie ascetic but yikes! a Closed mouth would work wonders

Randy | Sounds familiar, but I remember the statement being in relation to a proposed day-glo colors attempt to reissue Gen 1 Megatron, which was thankfully scrapped.
As in "This was what we had to do to get G1 megs on shelves then, and now even THAT's not enough!"
grune7:
It was at Botcon 2008. I don't remember weither it was the Saturday Hasbro panel or the Sunday Designers panel in response to a question. I don't remember what the question was, maybe something about a more g1 color scheme for classics Megatron. They replied that the laws were even tougher now and not even the classics deco could be released now.
Kouri:
Some state laws say that if an object even has the silhouette of a firearm, it's illegal to possess. It all comes down to whether or not legislation thinks this dude looks like a gun, regardless of color. >.>
MagnusPrimal:
Wow, this country gets worse every day.
When I was a kid, I had a toy metal gun, called a 'Bulldog' something or the other, IIRC. This thing could not look more like a real gun. I had this for years, carried it around, played with it, and somehow I managed to not point it at a cop and get shot. And yet today you can't get anything resembling a gun, even if it glows in the dark from the awful colors.
Unbelievable.
PrimulArchangel:
ya think they will have any prototypes of the future animated figures? I would love to see what Arcee and Omega Supreme look like.

I'd say Omega Supreme, Waspinator, Swindle, Wreck-Gar, Skywarp, and Blurr are the ones we're most likely to see, if those.

PrimulArchangel:
i think if they have Omega there then they will have a small deluxe class arcee prototype ready as well, its been a while since botcon, plenty of time to have made a small prototype of her.. Cant wait to see them if they do , hope someone takes some great pictures  Primus_feather:
A few things..
Life size Bronze"?" Power sword? I WANT!!!
I'd put my money on, Wolverine and the X-men is a build up to the Wolverine Movie in the works.
-Hey where are the X-Ladies? man this show better not be a sausage fest..
Image united figures? does Hasbro plan on butchering these too?! just like Marvel Legends..
If we don't see some kind of Physical Arcee figure I'm gonna be annoyed.
Deonasis:
Has Castle Greyskull always had a cafe inside or have they 're-imagined' it to suit today's kids.
