I am in frickin' love with the packaging. Saves me from having to try and get a Drag Strip customised too.

I love that Dragstrip orange colour. So much memories of my childhood (T_T).
The OP and Megatron mold.... have they been released in Japan before?
Nope, nope. That's what I was originally thinking but looking at the markings on the box it looks very much like an American release which is strange given the quality of the packaging which isn't something we normally associated with Hasbro.
The other option I'm speculating is its a HK convention exclusive in which case it'd be pretty expensive.

Well, it's a bit obvious this is a Hasbro product given it's entirely in english, the back of the box doesn't shotgun you in the face with masses of japanese text and messy layouts and it's under the Universe line
I don't think it's a HK thing, because the artwork looks to be by one of the IDW artists employed by Hasbro.

People, remember that these were first revealed by our own Hasbro AUS, back at the beginning of August:

So the photos confirm this new series, and we at least know of another 3 planned if the first four are successful....more of the series one Classics will be recoloured and released, featuring more Gen1 characters.
Possible figures may include:
- 'Premium' Optimus (maybe more Gen1 accurate colours)
- 'Premium' Megatron (g1 grey colours)
- Dragstrip (maybe recolour of either Hotrod or Mirage)
- Overkill (could be recolour of Grimlock)
- 'Premium' Cliffjumper (maybe new head or details)
- 'Red' Mirage (not sure what character it would be)
- Nemesis Prime

Erm if you ever need to offload that spare mirage Paulbot . My cousin is just starting his TF collection and Im supporting him by giving him figures (already gave him my spare Classics Screamer and Ramjet) and going with him in buying some universe toys which are of G1 homage ( which he prefers).
Will these figs be available here then? Interested in Dragstrip, but there isnt any pics of the fig itself.. anyone find one? the pic of dragstrip a few replies back is a custom (AFAIK) by a kitbasher.
