This is our first look at Ultra Class Universe Silverbolt, as well as the new Marvel Crossovers. In the pictures we see Wolverine, Venom, Grey Hulk, Human Torch and Spider Man. We also get a small peek at what Universe Sideswipe may look like Transformed (Universe Sunstreaker)
Griffin-of-oz has been kind enough to share pictures with everyone over at TFW2005. To check them out, click here
EDIT:
Thanks to Burn for pointing out something of importance to our Australian fans that Griffon-of-oz has reported on:
- Target Australia will have a store exclusive in July. Masterpiece Convoy/Optimus, apparently in Japanese packaging like the release of MP Ultra Magnus to Target a few years back. It will NOT be the MP04 Trailer version, it will be the MP01 version. Apparently there will be about 2000 units, which should see quite a few at each store (probably 30-40).
Good news Australia!

As for the potential Sideswipe, he looks a bit odd due to the fact that his head seems to be set too far back

Still that is an awesome looking Silverbolt, definitely preferable to Powerglide.

That's actually a prototype of Sideswipe.

Agreed!
...of course I can hear the conversation with my girlfriend already...
"Either Ultra-ultra Class Superion goes, or I go!!!"
Decisions, decisions...

For clarification on somethings.
Apparently, as I suspected looking at the pics, there was no toy in the Silverbolt box.

Silverbolt, cool I just hope these guys will combine, I mean him and Onslought.
I'm so hyped for this line, the Marvel TFs not so much, except Venom!

I'm liking these Marvel Transformers and I'm not even a Marvel fan
Posted by shadowsfm on April 4th, 2008 @ 10:42am CDT
i guess hes a new mold with lights and sounds, must have!
yellow sideswipe does look odd, i hope they give sideswipe and sunstreaker racing stripes or something, plain yellow and plain red is boring
wolverine looks good

but it looks so real

Actualy it is Sunstreaker - just with his chest transformed like Sideswipe's will be.

We now have Onslaught and Silverbolt. To say that Combiners are out of the question, is just silly. Do they absolutely have to be Aerialbots or Combaticons? No.
I'm really liking how C/U2.0 is shaping up.
If Animated and C/U2.0 run the length of a normal line...they'll run right into TF2 summer 2009...if that happens, we're all going to be broke and taking out second mortgages, loans, etc. lol
Fact of the matter is...both lines are going to get the short end of the stick in favor of TF2. Just wait and see.

I wonder if this means that we'll see any other Gestalt team leaders like Motormaster. Sideswipe looks pretty cool, but I hope the final design makes him look more G1ish w/ a differnt head mold, a shoulde rocket and a red paint scheme.
Hells yeah on the Motormaster idea. A Hun-Grr would be cool too.

Blaster's still a dissapointment, but Silverbolt makes up for it.
Can't wait to see the actual toy!

cardboard cutout or not
... pity no one in Australialand has a decent camera though.

If they make a Jeff Hardy one I'm in As for ultra, it's bigger and costs 25-30 dollers.

I fear you might be right. To be honest, I'm all movied out. It was fun while it lasted, but it'll be a while before I can get into that stuff again. I know some people probably can't wait till 2009, but it comes too soon for me.
Animated and Universe are showing soooo much potential it's not funny. But between U:C 2.0 and TF:A, I question whether they'll both get an adequate window of opportunity for them to be all that they oughta be.
If they're going to get the squeeze, I say time to start planing Classics 3.0 !

I'd swear that box art of Silverbolt is his G1 form. I hope the actual toy matches it. It would be nice to have a Silverbolt that doesn't suffer from skinny legs. But I wonder why he's no longer a Concorde.
Oh...

For some reason it's sticking in the back of my head that the Team Leaders won't have their combiner counter-parts. But on the same note, I thought they were going to be doing a new Universe Combiner. Oh well, It would be pretty awsome to see some of the other Team Leaders. Ultra Scattorshot and Razor Claw would be pretty awsome too.
As for the Ultra and Voyager sizes. Ultra will be new molds and Voyager will be re-paints.

Universe

Animated

I love Silverbolts realistic alt mode!
More marvel tfs weren't very surprising to me,
I knew they would make more than two.
Obviously, Gray Hulk is probaly going to be the same mold as the regular Hulk mold.

Yeah, I heard that it was gonna be about 25 bucks.
But for that badass Powerglide, Onslaught, AND now Powerglide, I will definately be willing to pay that price.

I would be putting my money on a WWE Rey Mysterio.
LOL. COUGH!f-15COUGH!

That Storm Trooper is so channeling a Powerpuff girl.
The Marvel Crossovers look interesting. I can just see the kitbashers repainting Spider-Man into Arcee or Elita-1
and Wolverine into Swerve or Brawn.
As for animated, where the bleeping bleep is Blitzwing. April is here and still not so much as a resin proto has leaked.

You lucky bastards get the worlds greatest toy at retail. Not too shabby.

Wasn't Spider-man actually remolded from it?
As for Wolverine, seriously, it wasn't a challenge after Cybertron Overhaul...
Is there a chance for a Galactus figure?
Posted by Liege Evilmus on April 4th, 2008 @ 8:49pm CDT
The Hulk was a definite, but know that I know a grey version is due, I'm gonna hold off and see which looks better as I doubt Hasbro would come through with a new mold.
Either way, I will get at least 1 Hulk, as I do like the mold.

Liege Evilmus wrote:Wolverine is my first pass for the Marvel line. If Spider-Man is a Vemon repaint, I'll be skipping him too.
Spider-Man is a motorcycle. Venom is a muscle car. Looks like there is a Symbiote Spidey repaint though.
Can't wait to see these at BotCon, either in the flesh(er...plastic)in the display cases or at Hasbro Panel.
