"JAAM" reference on Universe Hot Shot

[FFN]

I think I'll get both versions of Hot Shot and Ratchet.

hahahahahaha not effain way!!!!!

Go hasbro or takara or whoever was smart enough to chuck in the reference

Hasbro, as it's a Hasbro fandom specific joke.

That's a really nice fan tribute and kudos to Hasbro for doing it. The colours look like an interesting mix between Armada and Energon Hot Shot. I don't like the "broken" spoiler though. The see-through visor is a nice touch.

Overall I'm still not convinced if I want to get any of the post-G2 Universe characters... to me "Classics" is a re-invisionment of G1 (re: Fun Publications' Classics continuity) and I don't see how these characters would fit into their world.

Meh... undecided. It looks like a nice toy to get if you don't have the Armada/Micron Legend version.

Nice nod, but sorry Hasbro, the Henkei version still wins overall for me.
I do agree with you Gok though -- adding non G1 characters into Classics seems wrong.

its not classics though

Its universe 2

Yeah I thought this was the 25th Annivesary line, if so I'd really like to see a character from every year of production or close to anyways.

Overall Hotshot looks pretty cool though, I might get it then he an Cyclonus can be my whole Armada collection.

Universe has subsections.

- Classics
- Armada series
- 25th Anniversary
- Mics

Unfortunately as was predicted, this system was bound to cause confusion not only with the consumers but also with Hasbro as the differences between lines have been grayed and are no longer clear such as Classics with 25th anniversary.

Henkei in Japan however has kept things simpler but still a bit on the weird. Why put G1 characters mixed up with Beast Wars and now Micron Legend? I am hoping that the little comic stories that come with the toys explain this in a better form than Megatron drinking some bad Energon and becoming Galvatron.

I see no concern at all. Especially when it has "25th Anniversary" and is marketed as "Transformers Universe". It's not supposed to be G1 only and therefore not Classics. I still call it Classics 2.0 b/c that's the way I like to think of the line. I have no problems with any of the other toys being released as part of it either as long as they're good and Hot Shot looks a stand out. If others are as good as it, I dont mind seeing more.
