Transformers Classics: possible first case assortment

That one’s Astrotrain, yeah? Not bad. Certainly much better than the original.

Is it bad that I’m kind of nerding out about a deluxe Bumblebee? I wonder if his Infiltration form is any indication of this toy, or if IDW is just really creative (probably the latter). Oh, an another Hot Rod is always welcome.

Not that I’m complaining– but why now? With a greenlighted major motion picture, the Titanium, Alternators/Binaltech, and Robot Masters lines (and, lest we forget, Heroes of Cybertron), I would have thought the G1 nostalgia had hit some kind of saturation point by now. I guess Hasbro and Takara finally figured out how to tap into their adult fan base, because I have at least some representations from all of the aforementioned lines.

I’m also having a hard time believing that any Prime they release for this Classics line could be better than the new hybrid Convoy… unless it’s going to end up being the same thing.

Soooo, anyway. Masterpiece Starscream. Yeah.

More Astrotrain.

The classics line is being touted as the first time Has/Tak has aimed specifically at an older demographic.

And Alternators/Binaltech and Masterpiece don’t count how? Who the heck spent $75-$100 on Prime who wasn’t an older fan?

I hate marketing.

LINE Sean, LINE. not one toy. not car collectors.

Classics will be the MAIN LINE. this is to fill 8-9 month gap between Cybertron being done on TV and in stores and the Movie (+toys) hitting the market. all the g1 up until now has been sub lines and support.
