Target computers have updates with price points and release dates for Transformers Classics.
Deluxe figures will come at $12.99 instead of $9.99, while Voyagers (Optimus Prime & Megatron) are still $19.99. They’re scheduled to hit stores the last week of July, so expect them to be everywhere by the end of August.

I don’t condone any 3 dollar price hike, but I think its fair considering how quality the line looks. Thanks Mouth!
And since Bumblebee was glossed over during the original announcements, have a look at him and others in box:

Ok, TransFans. You know what to look for, you know what it looks like, you know how much it will be, and you know when to get it. What more could you ask for? How about Grimlock:

Astrotrain’s train mode was seemingly absent when Hasbro released images last month of the first wave of the new upcoming Transformers Classics line. In the past week or so, they updated with a picture of the missing alt mode. I have attached it below for your viewing pleasure.

Yesterday the Transformer Collectors Club got an sneak peak at the new classics line. Well the wait for the rest of the world turns out to be blissfully short.
Transformers.com has updated with all the images from the club update, as well as a new images of Megatron!  The only figure in the first wave still yet to be revealed is the deluxe Bumblebee.
Voyager Class:  Optimus Prime and Megatron (MSRP $19.99)

Deluxe Class: Starscream, Astrotrain, and Rodimus (MSRP $9.99)

From an unknown source, TFW2005 got their hands on sketches of Optimus Prime and Hot Rod from the forthcoming Transformers Classics line.

If these highly detailed drawings look insanely good to you, theres a reason. Thats Don Figueroa’s signature.

EDIT: Well it turns out that Hot Rod is just a concept, and not the classics model.  Don posted a message to TFW2005 declaring all future leaks off limits, and they’ve taken down Hot Rod in accordance with that.  I’m personally on the fence one whether to remove the image from this site as well, but adding this disclaimer that it is just a sketch…

TFW2005.com has posted a gallery of what could possibly be the prototype of Astrotrain from the upcoming Neo G1 line that Hasbro has been teasing us with since Botcon. Little is known about the line other than it will contain updated versions of classic characters from Generation 1, the original series that kicked off the franchise so many have followed for a long time. Click below to see some of the images. To see the full gallery go here.
