Thanks for a working link, but this really shoulda been put inthe Universe forum.
Classics has ended, this is part of the new Universe line.

Yea, but the line we knew as Classics was never actually called Classics. Hasbro said that the name didn't get passed by Marketing.
They refered to them as Classic Deluxe and Classic Voyager.

Only two words to best describe the new figures.....  Powerglide looks like being my personal fave! |

Amazing Powerglide does look hugely awesome!
Prowl could easily (and probably will be) be repainted into Bluestreak/Smokescreen. I am a Prowl fan so i'm really happy about him. Looks great.
The only one i am not sold on is Tankor. Nice toy, but doesn't look like anyone, certainaly not Octane.
I may even have to reconsider my earlier mumblings about Onslaught. In that flat grey colour and at that angle he looks great.

They all look marvelous, better than Classics IMO.
Sunstreaker - looks better in plain plastic than painted
Prowl - Looks a lot like the IDW version which is good.
Tankor - Plane mode is a bit pants, while the other two look nice. Definately an improvement over Astrotrain though.
Powerglide - A-10 mode is OK. Robot mode is great, enough of the old P'Glide toy remains but looks more like the fighter ace he's supposed to be.
Onslaught - the least like the G1 version. However i have the original on my desk (how handy is that?) & the head is spot on.
Considering some of the lack lustre responses to these on other boards I'm very pleasantly surprised. I can see my wallet getting some excercise.
Who needs Animated?

Anybody who thinks they are lacklustre needs their head examined. Personally I think they blow animated away and look much better than the original line of classics.

I agree that they blow everything the lame animated line has to offer, but sunstreaker and powerglide aren't that great. They will look awesome with other classics but they certainly don't blow the entire classics line away thats for sure. Nothing ever can, especially when this line is technically a continuation of the classics line. |

im a real big fan of sunstreaker. I think his head sculpt is amazing.
Minion- i can see what you mean about octane/tankor, he seems to be lacking abit of personality like the other figures but still looks very nice, i might wait till he gets some colour on before i pass final judgement. Im abit concerned that powerglide looks a tad top heavy but we'll see anyway.

[glow=blue,2,300]They need to make Jazz as a new porsche 911 turbo!![/glow] Jazz won't appear in Universe right now, as he'll be in Animated. They said at last years BotCon that they wouldn't release any characters in Universe and Animated at the same time. Prowl was the only exception to it because of the Animated one being a motorbike. |
