Thanks to SAGE2764 of talk.transformers for the following information about the upcoming releases of the "Transformers Classics" line along with Cybertron Redecos of Crosswise (G1 Smokescreen) and Vector Prime:

"OPTIMUS will only be in the VOYAGER assortment for the TRANSFORMERS

CLASSICS toyline. He will NOT have a trailer. His blasters transform

into parts of his vehicle mode."

 

"For TRANSFORMERS CYBERTRON there will be a CROSSWISE redeco. There

won't be a recolor for MUDFLAP now, as they recolored VECTOR PRIME instead."

I like the Crosswise redeco and the Vector Prime.  However, Optimus is a voyager w/o a trailer.  That SUCKS! :guh I want a trailer for Optimus, it just isn't right.  Oh well, I'll get over it.  At least I'm getting WWI Prime :clap

:tfsad .....

 

Mudflap....

 

But crosswise is really bad@$$. 

... I was all excited for that G1 Smokescreen repaint until I actually saw it.

 

I guess you can't go home again. :tfsad

Not G1 enough?? :tfhuh

I like the Smokescreen. Though Prime w/o trailer= :tard  :stone  :finger

does everyone in the Cybertron universe have a twin? if Hasbro wants to repaint a toy, they should at least repaint it twice to give it the illusion that those body types are mass-produced.

 

and as for Classics Prime, Hasbro is really taking their "Kids think base-formers are unfun" stance too far. are you telling me that Prime's trailor serves no purpose unless he can combine with it? even if it can become a battle platform?

ever seen a truck on the highway without a trailer?  it just doesn't look right, and that's how i feel about optimus.  it just isn't right that he doesn't have a trailer, though i guess it won't stop me from buying it.

Given the choice between a 12 or 13cm tall Prime with a trailer, or a 18-19cm tall Prime without one, I'll take the mega w/o trailer.  Deluxe is just too small for Prime.  This is very good news for me.  Now I just hope that the listing for Grimlock as a deluxe is inaccurate as well.

 

As for Crosswise, great mold, certainly worthy of a repaint, but I'd have much preferred him as Jazz.  With the visor it's a much better fit.

 

Too bad about Mudflap.  He'd have made a perfect Grapple, and the Vector Prime mold is OK at best. 

 

But overall this has been a good bit of news.
