Okay gang, been out of circulation a bit. Since the end of the last wave of Universe Classics I've had nothing I've been vaguely interested in except the MP Skywarp I got last fall. I've caught snatches of stuff here and there, but what I'm most interested in I didn't get full info...

 

I see there's a Universe Classics Thrust that should be awesome but didn't catch ETA or if it's an exclusive.

Also saw we're getting a states side MP Grimlock but didn't see if it's another WalMart exclusive or if it's TЯU thing.

 

Any other news of the next run of Classics?

 

 

I'm hoping more interesting stuff will start showing up now that the ROTF stuff is clearing out.

 

Thanks in advance

Universe is changing it's name to Generations. It's gonna be a mix of Classics, Comic Book, & Video game characters.

The movie line is gonna drop the ROTF and run as the main line under the name Transformers and offer a whole bunch of new stuff that ironicly could fit into the Generations line.

Highlights are a Leader Starscream, and Straxus.

 

Then there's the Power Core Combiners. The verdict is still out on these. There's gonna be 2 styles a two pack that'll come with a scout and multimode minicon. Then a 5 pack thats a scout with some spring loaded drones that form a gesalt.

 

Then in Fall we're supose to get a new show called Transformers Prime that looks to be movie inspired.

 

Oh, and a new video game but I can't say much about that.

 

2 real good figures out right now, Movie Mindwipe and Movie Lockdown.

My understanding is companies don't (generally) show store exclusives at Toy Fair, so I think Thrust is planned to be a wide-release item. :thumb

All I'm gonna say is they better release Dirge too. I'd get really pissed of if I ended up with only Dirge missing from my seeker collection. I got a Henkei Thundercracker, but there's something about the henkei Dirge I dislike. I think it may be the horrible patterns on the wings

Thanks guys.

 

Yeah I never could get myself to pay Henkei prices for stuff. Nice to see Thrust will be obtainable. Generations... yeah I guess that fits. I'd forgotten about Powercore, that'll be neat.

Movie line can't disappear fast enough to suit me. Here's hoping Generations does a Brawn G1 tribute.
