CLASSICS 2.0 | Classics 2.0 Display
- Universe is not a storyline unto itself. It is a compilation of stories.
- Universe ultra Silverbolt coming August 2008. Will have sounds in robot and jet including the transformation sound. Gun sounds and Jet sounds too.
- Ultra Storm Cloud is a redeco Powerglide coming in September 2008. The "MM-89" on him stands for Micro Master 89, the year he was made.
- Both Powerglide and Storm Cloud will have a feature where the figure's chest can be opened to reveal a heart. It is really for Powerglide, but Storm Cloud has it because it was molded in.
- Galvatron was so small because the designer was told that they already had so many tanks in the larger scale.
- Universe ultra Silverbolt coming August 2008. Will have sounds in robot and jet including the transformation sound. Gun sounds and Jet sounds too.
- Deluxes Ironhide and Sideswipe are coming October 2008.
- Ironhide's license plate says Oregon and looks like a modern SUV/Van-type vehicle. He will have a mid-level transformers difficulty
- Sideswipe is the same mold as Sunstreaker with new hands. However, the image that is shown on the presentation is the wrong head and the chest plate is not turned around.
- Universe deluxe Hound w/ Ravage will be a G1-type mold. The clips on the back of Hound fit Ravage. Shoulder cannon on Hound comes off.
- Universe deluxe Cyclonus w/ Nightstick Targetmaster will also be a G1-type mold. Nightstick may be held by Cyclonus. The figure almost looks black and is very nice.

Well, it's based off Don's artwork, so I'd imagine Cyclonus is a new mold. I like the idea of Overkill as a repainted Grimlock, but I think they did that for 2007's Botcon repaint/customization class. Aoi |
