Lots of interesting news from Botcon: www.allspark.com/content/view/1544/20/Including: CLASSICS 2.0! * Sunstreaker with Sideswipe repaint! The chests can transform differently. * Will be in fall 2008 under the Universe umbrella - "very realistic, but not licensed." Universe, in fact, will be anything other than Animated - Robot Heroes, Classics 2.0, etc. * Octane - triple changer! Cargo jet/tanker/bot. * Trying to get EVERY triple changer remade! * Looking at adding an Ultra scale and getting Classics licensed products like the designs in the Style Guide part of the Hasbro tour. |

Interesting read. Too bad about Alternators though, I thought it was a good line for the quality put into the likeness of the vehicle modes. I didn't mind dropping $20 per or less during a clearance. Ah well, another one bites the dust. Also,.. "Animated Voyager Prime will have an axe that partially transforms from his trailer.." .. my response to this is the ever-popular Scooby-Doo "AARRRROOU?"  Really? That's one tiny trailer, unless they're planning to make it like that big spear from the Cybertron Storyline that the Gigantian would often loan out to Prime. |

I'm very happy about the Classics 2.0 news. Classics has proven to be my favorite TF line to date. Meanwhile, here's hoping that some of the cancelled Titaniums will find their way into the Classics 2.0 line, as it'd be a real shame to see those molds go to waste. (Especially Shockwave, War Within Bumblebee, and Arcee.) Besides, I'd personally prefer to have them without the cumbersome diecast metal.

I just hope they release an updated, larger scale Soundwave figure for classics. He's my most wanted at this point!

Hell, I'd be happy if Hasbro released the Music Label Soundwave as a stripped-down (i.e. non-MP3 capabilities) Classics mold, although I know that's highly unlikely. I don't need an MP3 player, and I don't want to pay the asking price for Takara's Music Label version, but that Soundwave does look friggin' awesome. (Plus he's in scale with the Classics line to begin with, so....)

I wonder if they'll try redecoing Sideswipe as Red Alert... (possibly with the red helmet to further distinguish him from Sideswipe/Sunstreaker)
