This just in from Seibertron at Toy Fair 2008!

Classics Galvatron was unveiled today and apparently looks awesome.

Hasbro is now taking the Star Wars Transformers and combining them with the Marvel Transformers and they will now collectively be known as Transformers Crossovers.

Animated Jazz is also on display, and according to Ryan, looks very much like the Mach 5, the car from Speed Racer.

Expect pictures later today!

Edit: In another update, it appears the designs for the Transformers Movie sequel are well underway. In a conversation with Aaron Archer, Ryan found out that Hasbro has been working with the Paramount/Dreamworks for the past 3 weeks. The current designs that they have come up with have been submitted to Tomy/Takara.

He also says that he's posting pics later tonight.

They are already working on TF2 figs. Aaron Archer already spent 3 weeks with the movie folks. The designs have already been shown to Takara.

Transformers crossovers doesn’t sound too good, but everything else should be interesting.

A description from the Allspark of Galvatron:

UPDATE: We've received word from our man at Toyfair, Matt Greenbaum, that Universe Galvatron will be a deluxe-sized tank, in G1-inspired colors, so purple and an orange cannon. The figure will manage to be grey in vehicle mode but purple in robot mode. More info as it develops. No pictures yet.



Just wets my appetite for those pictures!

Hey Ryan, get back here with some pics!!!!!!!

Also, Transformers Crossovers, I like it, it's a good way to tie in all these lines without upsetting the main.

Still I've been hoping for a decent not just Megatron repaint Galvatron forever!

:sad: Why did I flake on the date for Toy Fair this year :sad:

There had better be a lot more than Classics Galvatron, Animated Jazz and some designs for TransFormers Crossovers.

Last year's Toy Fair was pathetic (compared to years previous)...they had better give a great performance this year.

There is a transforming BatMobile, it's part of the ShadowTek line. It looks like crap, similar to those Marvel Mega Morpher exosuit things.

According to TFormers.com, Classics Galvatron will be a Deluxe class, have a G1 color scheme, and turn into a tank.

This is awsome news indeed regarding Classics Galvatron. It's nice to see that Hasbro came through on a promise for a highly anticipated character. (Not that they haven't come through before!) :P

Galvatron is indeed a deluxe. You can find pics of him floating around right now if you look.

But he looks awesome! Great update to the character and the head looks spot on!

I'm all for a New Galvy, hough he should have been at least a Voyager.


Can't wait to see the pics.
I'm still very much intrigue by the Marvel formers.

Galvatron looks fantastic!



Not what I pictured but he's ok.

I really like Galvatron's robot mode. I just hope the legs turn out better than they look.

The tank mode is severely lame. A realistic tank with an orange cannon?

Galvatron is a little disappointing. I don't like the tank mode, and he should be an Ultra. But the robot mode, wow! Awesome! Best Galvatron Ever. Can't wait for pics of everyone else.
Re: Toy Fair Update! Classics Galvatron, Star Wars + Marvel TF's, Animated Jazz & TF2? (633934)
Posted by Pot Bot on February 16th, 2008 @ 4:01pm CST
true, he should be an ultra, and i dont give a damn about his tank mode, he aint ever coming out of robot form
Re: Toy Fair Update! Classics Galvatron, Star Wars + Marvel TF's, Animated Jazz & TF2? (633935)
Posted by Overcracker on February 16th, 2008 @ 4:02pm CST
Very nifty I gotta say. He looks really nice in robot mode.

Hopefully the arm cannon can be positioned a little better.
The missile doesn't look like it belongs at then end of the barrel, fortunately you can just remove it.
All in all he looks pretty cool.

Galvy as a *deluxe-sized* tank?? What the heck?? I'm not even that into Galvatron and even I want something bigger than deluxe. :? Ah, but his bot mode DOES look great. Wow.

Ah, SWTF and Marvel TF being combined into "Crossovers" now makes sense of there being 18 figures released this year.

Looking forward to more pics! :)

That Galvatron is weak.

Deluxe sized? The Hell?

My Energon Galvatron is going to beat up on that toy until it learns some respect and grows into a proper Ultra Class figure.



Deluxe...

wtf mate...

wtf...

Its not that we're ungrateful, its just that sometimes we don't understand Hasbro. If we would pay for an ultra-sized figure, then why would Hasbro give us a deluxe-sized Galvatron? Don't they want our money?? :P

It just seems a little silly that we're getting an ultra-sized Powerglide, and a deluxe-sized Galvatron. I mean, does that make sense to ANYONE?? Now, as I've said, I love Powerglide, but I would have been fine with him as a deluxe and Galvatron as an ultra.

Like I said, sometimes we just don't understand what the heck Hasbro is thinking.
