Classics 2.0 Schedule Wave 1 Information Released

Good news, but wished they didn't call him Tankor.

Ultra powerglide?

Myabe this means he is a proper A10 for a change, packed with weapons.

Tankor? who the hell is Tankor??????? I thought this was classics 2.0 not beastmachines? Octane is a better name in every way. Maybe Tankor was chosen to appeal to the nethandernal market sector.

"Hur hur Tankor, it's a funny name hur hur!"

What's giving you that feeling? I have yet to read anything about any Classics figures being repaints...

Just a feeling. It doesn't make sense to make Powerglide an Ultra unless they are using an existing mold. Also Hasbro's vivid past history with strange repaints also fuels this feeling.

obviously didn't get the guy that did classics bumblebee and classics mirage to do this figure.
Looks disgusting. Looks nothing like the concept picture. HIGHLY dissapointed, and will most likely not get it.

It looks like a knock off rejected alternator!!
It has legs like alt mirage, same feet even and the limbs seem really stick like and lanky.

So there are considerable changes to the concept art, that much is clear from reading this thread.

The most important thing to me is:

Does this toy successfully represent the character of Sunstreaker in the same way that the Classics 1.0 characters (Rodimus/Hotrod, Mirage, Prime, etc) represented both their G1 counterparts (toy and cartoon/comic)?

To put it simply, does it successfully come across as a modernization of G1 Sunstreaker or did they execute considerably different approach like that Classics Onslaught we saw?

The above sounds very disappointing. I had an overwhelming feeling that Hasbro (Archer) will miss the point once again and dissapoint us with this line, it seems that my fears are coming true.

Kup...i would say hold your thoughts. different people have different views.
once the images are out, you can then decide again

[dirge]

I have seen the picture, and I can see where the BT/Alt comparisons are coming from.

From what I've seen he looks okay, but I really need to see more to make my mind up.

is it close to the concept art then???
if yes....still fine.

Whoa. This thread has gained traction!! I was reading it at 3 pages and it jumped out to 5!

I myself am pretty patient. We will see the pics in all eventuality. I'm all for hte figures named. Anyone who doesn't call Tankor "Octane" will be quite lonely.

Besides, does anyone call Hot Rodimus by his name? It's quite self-evident what'd Tankor will be called.

Something else no one's mentioned. We are going to have one massive fricking combiner if Onslaught is the Torso and he's an Ultra already Just thinking about it....

I can accept Powerglide being bigger as he is a plane after all and should be bigger than the cars.

My sentiments exact. It will be different but it makes a lot more sense to me. He managed to fit Transformers inside him but as a toy was half the size of every other bot.

is it close to the concept art then???

Not really. If anything it looks like a hybrid between the MiniCon Sparkplug and the aforementioned BT/Alt mould.
