View Full Version : Who should get the Classics treatment next?

Classics 2.0 aka Universe aka Henkei 2.0 has delivered us another slew of classic figures from the 84-86 era, especially Autobot cars. Of course, there are still a few notable characters missing, and unfortunately, there is nothing to indicate whether or not HasTak will continue the Classicsverse line after the next movie.

So, let's pretend they do, and let's pretend that you decide which figure/character is next. Which?

(poll approaching...)

SOUNDWAVE :D

Doh. He was probably worthy of one of the 9 choices. Was tough to decide which to stick up there. As I already have Classics Soundwave, I naturally didn't consider him. :p

I think all the others have had decent remouldings in the last year or so through animated or what not. I say we need a new Kup. Maybe with the dodgy paint apps Hasbro does He could end up with a rustic look:D

I personally think molds that can be used for multiple characters should be top priority!!! Hoist/Trailbreaker

But Wheeljack deserves to be a classic, or Jazz (if he reappears in ROTF)

I will be pissed off if the potential Soundwave rumoured gets repainted into blaster.

But personally i would like to see Classics Blaster, Soundwave and Wheeljack

Insecticons for sure

Theres that rumour there is gonna be Classic Rhinox and Classics Soundwave as top priorities for the line, can't remember where i read that from

insecticons for me too...

Well they aren't on the list but the other Dinobots would rawrk. But I voted for Wheeljack seeing as though some of us... eh who I'm kidding, I won't have a G1 version of him as I'm unwilling to pay large amounts of money.

I would like a classics Trailbreaker. I'd be happy with any of them, but Trailbreaker hasn't had much homage love (and when they do they can't even get his name right see Cybertron Overhaul and the Spychanger) and I'd prefer to get a full set of 1984 Autobot Cars before the 1985 range.

Having just got the Trailbreaker toy a few weeks ago (Encore version) I was disappointed by the short and squat robot mode when he's always presented as a tall (and sometimes bulky) Autobot in the fiction. I think a classics version could better match the idea I have of what Trailbreaker should look like.

The repaint/mold to Hoist also makes this an ideal pick (with a fancy leg trick to make Hoist shorter).

Jazz is long overdue, Tracks would be awesome as a classics

None right now, I havn't even seen cyclonus, hound, or ironhide in the stores yet. Are they even out yet?

WHEELJACK!!!

Then I'd like to see Trailbreaker, Jazz, Tracks, Insecticons & Shockwave!

No pressure! :)

Insecticons for sure. Something different and too many autobots for my liking :)

12th February 2009, 09:29 PM
Its gotta be wheeljack! ;)

Lord_Zed
12th February 2009, 09:38 PM
Shockwave,then Blitzwing and Scourge, becuase Classics/Universe needs more Deceps and less freakin cars.

Then the Insecticons and everyone else on that list. :D

ARCEE!

Primus knows we need a G1-accurate Arcee toy.

12th February 2009, 10:30 PM
i tink Hasbro said they wouldnt want to do characters already appearing in other fiction. So i cant imagine them doing Jazz

ARcee i thought they said no, or theyd say a female character wouldnt sell, so thats out for me

i voted Blurr, hes less iconic but still better known then Landfill

Arcee. With a proper Princess leia BUN head pls. it was a tough decision between her and the insecticons - ( if these guys were tobe given classics treatment I'll be up for a clone army!! But yeah, Arcee DESERVES to have figure of her own, as a pink and white car, fully poseable, NOT A BIKE! NOT A REPAINT OF SOME OTHER FEMALE MOULD!

and just looking at the poll results .... poor skids... his "special powers" of fading into obscurity is so potent as always :p

I don't think there's been a proper Arcee released. I want a proper Cybertronian car thing, none of that motorcycle ... thing.

I agree! Go arcee go! She deserves a proper g1 style mould of her own ;)

I chose other, but if I were to choose from the list I would love a new mold for Wheeljack. I would like to see Arcee as a cybertronian car.

I would like a deluxe Scourge, I would buy several!
Also Shockwave, Motormaster and Hotspot.
a new car mold to represent Dead End and Wildrider.
A stegosaurus dinobot, and repaint into Slugfest.

Very hard to pick but I went with Jazz. One of my favourites and deserves a good mold. Would love to see Tracks as well as the Decepticons. I don't reckon we need a Soundwave tho cos the MP3 one does an excellent enough job of it imo.

We're going to get an Arcee as a cybertronian car in Animated shortly, so she's not high on the list for me. Bring on classics Wheeljack and then some more Decepticons says I.

Went for the Old timer, as Kup really needs a figure with decent arms.

Insecticons, Arcee and Wheeljack would be great to have too.

There's going to be an Animated Wheeljack too.

We need a Classics Time Warrior

We already have Galvatron and Cyclonus so Scourge would be the obvious choice for me. Other than that I'd love to see a Classics/Henkei Shockwave and Blitzwing.

jaydisc
13th February 2009, 02:00 PM
I meant to put Scourge on the list. :(

Autobots: Arcee would be sweet, but I'll leave it to Animated. Remold-wise they've got a lot of leeway - Inferno into Grapple (though Cybertron Mudflap would also be good), Sideswipe into Red Alert, Brawn into Outback, and Cheetor into Tigatron. Since we're getting a Rhinox I'd like to see a transmetal Rattrap as well, ideally Scout class.

For the Decepticons, Scourge would be nice, and so would a redone Shockwave. Would love a Dead End, he's one of my favourite characters (if they did do a new Jazz mold it wouldn't be too hard to remold it into a pretty good Dead End IMO). I'd really like to see a triple-combining Reflector as well.

Would love to see a Wheeljack (not much love has gone his way over the years) and the insecticons as we need more Decepticons, and also how about Sixshot and the Predacons, but actually have these guys merge. I could keep going so just bring them all.

Perhaps this shows the preference for the cartoon (as per the awards results) and Skids had next to no appearances in that. Or maybe Alternator Skids was enough for people. :)

I have 3... Rodimus Prime (voyager size), slag (favorite dinobot) and shockwave.

i think Drift should get the Classics treatment


Or transmutate



I think it would be better if the characters got the 'Universe 2' treatment, thats more modern then Classics

Deonasis
16th February 2009, 12:12 AM
I thought Tracks would be cool. Wheeljack and Insecticons would rule. And another Dinobot (Slag, Snarl, etc..) and... and... and... etc..

Just like me to be late to the party

I'd like the other Dinobots

Tracks and Insecticons are almost a must

Blitzwing would be good if he was much better that the other triple changers

More Decepticons

But above all I would totally love a Classics Omega Supreme

Insecticons.
