I'd rather go for Henkei. I am trusting that Takara won't cut costs for higher profits on the finish like Hasbro likes to do.
But if hasbro doesn't do it, then you won't get your hentai versions. :D

Since Hasbro has placed Classics 2.0 in Universe, I get the vibe from Hasbro that they are not considering them much of a priority and would rather discontinue them but are only releasing them due to fan demand. They don't want to spend much money on them so they are being released within Universe.
Once all of the already developed molds originally intended for Classics are released that would be it for Universe Classics. They won't invest in R & D for future molds.
Takara on the other hand are having the right approach with Henkei by putting them in a line of their own. They have also released their own TF exclusive molds and releases in the past, so they don't always need Hasbro to do release something first.
Since all the Classics molds were developed by Takara, there is a chance that they will follow on with Henkei if the first waves are successful enough, hence a proper Classics 3.0 instead of crap Energon/Cybertron repaints like that Universe Blaster they are releasing.
You're right. After Classics 2.0 they wont be making new molds because they will be making the Movie 2 toys. Classics 2.0/Universe is Hasbro continuing to make realistic vehicles in between the two movies.
Once the Movie 2 toys are repainted and repainted as much as they can, the Universe line they should come back again with new toys.
Yeah
lets make 2008 the year we teach Hasbro a lesson!
We wont buy your paint , name, chromeless inferior, Universe who should have been Classics toys!
i hope its not another stupid jap toy that you have to be the first in the door of the shop gimmick, or like 10 ever made
Ooh, Classics 2.0 - Come On Down!!!
What if there was to be a Classics 3.0 down the line? (drools...)
How cool would it be if they used these moulds as classics 3.0 figures:

Forgive my ignorance, but what's that last photo? Obviously that's Shockwave, Cosmos and Arcee but I don't recognize the last one.
