Review - Henkei C-01 Convoy
by News_Staff on Friday Mar 21st, 2008
I really love the Classics Prime mold. The proportions are good, the articulation is excellent, and both robot and vehicle modes are pretty solid and stable. So, how do you improve on near perfection? The Henkei Convoy. Comparing Classics Prime with Henkei Convoy, I noticed that a little repainting and omission of paint will be enough. Read Review


Review - Henkei D-01 Megatron
by News_Staff on Wednesday Mar 19th, 2008
The original Classics Megatron didn't really impress me, no thanks to its color scheme. Then we all saw the cool custom by jin saotome, and people started painting their Classics Megs in G1 colors. A few months later, the Henkei version appeared. And man, was I drooling. Here was what Classics Megs should have been. And yeah, sure, there were still some weird things going on, like the chrome chest plate, but hey, this is badass. Read Review

Rumors

Will there be a San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Classics Nemesis Prime?

Don't miss this chance to own this exclusive figure from Comic-Con. PREORDER yours now while stock last." It is way too early for an announcement like this so take heed it may be BS.

Thanks again to Taobao.com we have a pic of what looks like may be a repaint of Classics Grimlock. We're not sure what this is considering the colors it could be a proto, predacon or maybe even Galvatron? Anywho, take a look at the pic and post your best guess here.

Thanks to TriBlurr of TFans.com and Gong and Sage2764 of talk.transformers HK newsgroup for an unconfirmed design sketch of what is labeled as Transformers Classic Grimlock. Join the discussion at TFans.com.
