I've seen the pics. None of em really wow me. Silverbolt is so-so. Ironhide's alt mode looks like stockade,I wish they would have retooled sideswipe. I do like the repaints though. I'll prolly pick up most of em silverbolt is a maybe at best right now.

That's because its got a few more things besides the figure. a DVD a soundbox with Cullen's voice clips. And a few other niceties. I think 70 is just fine that's what Encore is going for now.

Animated Ownage!!!. Magnus is outstanding. Swoop is pretty Good. Sentinel is kinda anorexic at the waist, but the truck mode is very nice.

I can do without all these repaints of Bumblebee. At least the Prowlish color scheme looked better this is just strange.

Did anyone see the Animated stuff? I liked the BB repaint and Swoop looked pretty dang good, but Sentinel was awful… his head was hideous and he looked NOTHING like he does in the show.

That block bot is a pass for me.

As for the new classics…

THANK YOU HASBRO, OH SO MUCH!!! SIDESWIPE LOOKS AWESOME!!! BEST DAY EVER!!! Woo, I seriously need to calm down and Ironhide looked great too, but his alt was kind of messy. Silverstreak looked great.

Oh and Prime comes with an comic and DVD so that’s why he’s $70.00

Damn swoop and magnus look sweet NO... MUST STAY STRONG... MUST... NOT BUY... :BOOM:

by **Maniac23** » Sat Apr 26, 2008 2:56 pm

Magnus is definitely a must have for me even though i am not going to collect the Animated line, him and Leader Megatron are just too good to pass up.

No, See this pic of the one on display.

Indeeed. Part of me wonders why they continue to post mis-transformed images on their official website.

We now have four versions of Bumblebee? I blame the movie.

I'm not diggen Ironhides alt mode. Too many cracks and the painted windows are kinda ulgly.

Yeah, I'm with you. I paid less than that for my Encore Prime, shipped.

Any word on what mini-cons will be in the Kmart pack?

Got pics of Sideswipe, Bluestreak, 25th anniversary G1 Prime and some other stuff. Working on trying to get it all posted before tonight's award show.

I didn't see any pics for Hound, Ravage, or Cyclonus. Are they not there or am I just missing them? Just watched the review of Animated Leader Megs, between Animated, Universe, and Encore this is going to be tragically expensive year!

Deluxe Sentinel Prime = MINE

Elite Guard BB looks pretty bad.

by **Sentinel Pax** » Sat Apr 26, 2008 3:21 pm

So is the new Cheetor mold supposed to be like the 10th anniversary molds for Primal and Megatron, or is it...well, good?

HOMG IM GOING MAD!!!

It is a good thing that I have quit collecting TFs until August so that I have some money to collect some of the ones coming soon.

These are added to my list even though I only had 2 for the Fall (Prowl & Octance/Tankor)

Ironhide---Oregon license plates...cool
Bluestreak
Sideswipe
WW Prowl--finally comes out
Hound + Ravage

Sideswipe is retooled, which Hasbro stated at the actual panel and as we've now seen with the actual figure that was on display. I'm working on getting some of these newer pics posted for all of you.

by **JustinRODimus** » Sat Apr 26, 2008 3:32 pm

soooo.... is 25th aniv prime gonna keep his long smokestacks? (i hope so) i decided that i'll be willing to cough up 70 for it i don't have any of that mold so i guess now is my opportunity. if it becomes a line, i REALLY would like a megatron even though i know its not gonna happen. (damn safety codes)

They're part of the 25th anniversary so we might not see them yet, mind you they've put out the 25th prime so maybe we'll get to see them tomorrow?

Seibertron listed them under the Universe line as deluxes and as new molds, the only 25th anniversary figure he mentioned was the Optimus Prime reissue. (:|

Nice, all of this seems really nice, and most of it I want. I can hardly wait

by **8 bit** » Sat Apr 26, 2008 3:51 pm

I wasn't too sure if I was going to get Universe Galvatron or not, but now that he and Cyclonus are in the same line, it's a definate "yes".

I assume that everything released next year will have '25th anniversary' stuck on it no matter which subline they are in.

Good to see Silverstreak will be available at retail and so quickly after Prowl.
Hopefully Hasbro have learned their lesson with the Seekers debacle and won't make Smokescreen one of next year's Botcon Exclusives.

...ditto

Classicverse Smokescreen is among my most anticipated figures!

I always dug that colour-scheme, hopefully they won't junk it up with tacky racecar advertising like they did with the Alternators/Binaltech version.
