NY Toy Fair pics of Classics 2.0 and Universe

[kup]

There has been pics released from NY's Toy Fair. They include the Classics 2.0 figures (properly transformed) and 2 Universe repaints.

I am not sure if the Blaster and Quickmix repaints are supposed to be in the Classics Universe but they are not appealing to me. Powerglide looks much better properly transformed but the colors are still a shocker and I prefer to wait a year or so for Takara to release a proper one.

The other figures look very good including Sunstreaker and Prowl. With Onslaught, I am not sure if that Monzo decal is supposed to be there or if its photoshoped but it looks awful and out of place. I plan to remove the SWAT labels from the alt mode but the Mozo one looks to be on painted surface making it very difficult.

I am happy that Prowl didnt get such a cheap paint job and that the missile appear to be painted.

Out of all of them (not counting repaints) the only disappointing Classics is Powerglide.

Lol Blaster looks terrible!

I still find myself intensely disliking Powerglide, but it's nice to see Sunstreaker's car mode transformed properly.

Won't be going near those repaints.

Yup, Blaster looks really terrible. I mean, Universe Ramjet terrible.

I'm still going to get Powerglide, but I may wait until the inevitable repaint where Hasbro miraculously decides to do what the fans wanted in the first place AFTER they've also all bought the crappy original.

Also Classics Galvatron. Very Galvatron robot mode, but they made him a tank instead of a cannon on treads (which is basically what a tank is anyway).

I would've preferred Galvatron as a space cannon/gun similar to his G1 alt modes instead of a tank. I don't really see the need for it considering that his G1 alt mode isn't a realistic gun. :/ Still, it's cool that he's a whole new mould instead of just a repainted Megatron.

Ok Blaster is the worst one of the lot for me now. Why couldn't he just be a ghetto blaster? Don't tell me they couldn't do it.

I like Classics Galvatron's robot mode but I dislike the alt mode chosen. It would have been better if they had added more purple instead of gray and a bit less conventional Tank shape to resemble his space canon more.

I'm fine with Galvatron being a tank but why only a deluxe? It will display very poorly next to voyager Megatron. ''And then Megatron was reformatted into the much mightier, but much titchier, Galvatron.'' Also I hope the final deco has either a lot more purple or none. At the moment it looks like they made a grey toy then decided to slap a few patches of purple on to make it more recognisably Galvatron.

Still loving Sunstreaker, Prowl, Octane and Onslaught.

Hmmm the Deluxes look better in these photos.

Not sure about the two big boys, Onslaught has a great robot mode, but I don't dig his gigantic lethal force S.W.A.T team veichle mode, And Powerglides colours are all wrong, mind you I do like his Jet mode, even in Hothouse colours.

Galvatron looks pretty good for a deluxe, although I have to ask why is he a deluxe? So he can fight Rodimus I guess????? I dunno, I can deal with Powerglide being large cause he turns into a big plane, but a Tank is also big, along with Onslaught this is starting to get annoying.

I looked at Blaster, now I'm laughing its a sad laugh though.

And lastly who the hell is Heavy Duty, I don't recall him from G1? In fact I thought he was a G.I. Joe
