UK Toy Fair 2010 - Voyager Seaspray

[kup]

If this toy is being released in Universe packaging then it counts as a Universe toy, not movie-verse; so if I get this toy it's gonna go in my Classics/Universe Autobots shelf, not my movie Autobots shelf. Likewise ROTF Bludgeon is destined for my movie Decepticons shelf and not my Classics/Universe Decepticons shelf.

Not if in the package its mentioned as 'Movie/NEST Line' like other universe releases have used 'Armada line', 'Classics line' and so on. Remember that Universe does not automatically mean a single line but is actually a catch all line therefor you can place it in either shelf and still stick to Hasbro's line assignation. The Animated Legends come in Universe packaging but it's difficult to argue that they shouldn't belong in Animated and would look totally out of place on the Universe shelf which is mostly composed of Classics, Armada and misc 'G1ish' repaints.


Bludgeon is a very good representation of the G1 character and apparently he was inititially designed as such - That Movie Seaspray however looks to be as good represtetation of the charatcer as Universe Powerglide only moviefied which doesn't exactly add to the tribute but I hope to be wrong, just growing ever skeptical and cynical about Hasbro's decisions given the very dissapointing last couple of years.

Of course, whatever we decide to assign the figure within in our collection is entirely up to us. To me Bludgeon is going straight onto classics - Too good a character for the ROTF line

Then I suspect you haven't laid your hands on the new Bludgeon, because he's super awesome to play and display! Hidden dagger, long katana, he'd sit great with any toyline.

I am directly referring to Universe Powerglide and Silverbolt. One was a rather poor representation of the character (huge, awckward an grey with orange boobs) and the other had the engineering of a Micromaster but with dull colors (but at least he represented the character of Silverbolt well enough).
