Agreed. Sideways was already a great mold, one of the best from the Cybertron line really. The figure has a great transformation scheme, and I must agree that the new paint applications look fantastic on him!Gouki wrote:I don't normally buy straight recolours (and I prefer my Universe/Classic 2.0 toys being all new moulds), but that Ratbat is very nice.

Classics 1 had a few repaints too, of course - Skywarp, Magnus, Cliffjumper, Constructicon Maximus, the retool of Starscream as Ramjet, and so on. V1 only actually had (discounting about half of the Legends, which could again be matched) nine new moulds, it just seemed like more because a few of them doubled up... Seven have been announced for V2 already. It just so happens they're looking beyond the new moulds for recolour material due to fewer of them being obvious fits for another character.
If anything, it's a very encouraging sign that the line's filling up at all. Classics 1 seemed to be done as soon as it started, partly because of the upcoming Movie, and I felt there was a lot of repaint territory unexplored. I'd rather the thing was 75% decent recolours (these aren't bad, for starters) and 25% new moulds and lasted a little longer this time around.
Random Recolour Wishlist, With Little Regard For Trademarks, Clashes With Other Lines Or Any Of That Shit: -
Energon Downshift in 100% G1 Wheeljack colours
G2 Road Pig as someone, anyone, just get that mould out there again.
RID X-Brawn as Brawn
Redo the Neo-G1 Spychangers, but get them right - keep Prowl II as Red Alert, Ironhide as Trailbreaker, but switch Jazz to the Hot Shot mould, do the Stunticons (Magnus as Motormaster?)

Cheers Denyer, keep looking there for the new classics, that's why I was quite surprised to see a new springer!!Denyer wrote:Stuff we already know about is here -- http://tfarchive.com/toys/checklists/un ... assics.php -- and I imagine Nevermore'll add to that as he gets time.

Anyone know if Springer has any changes apart from the colour to Evac?
If you can keep your head when all around are loosing theirs...you probably haven’t grasped the situation!!

Going by the picture, it looks like he comes with a different planet key. The head is the same as before.Target wrote:Anyone know if Springer has any changes apart from the colour to Evac?
Haven't decided whether to pick up this set or Blades. I had Evac before and liked the toy itself, but I didn't care for the colors.
I like the Blades repaint more than Springer, but I want Ratbat too. Decisions, decisions...
I really liked the Evac mould, but haven't cared for any of the paint apps to date.
I do like Springer though...
I'm not so taken with Ratbat. I really love Sideways, and I think the paint app was perfect. So, I'm probably being stubborn.
I'll have to have a think about these guys...
I will have to think about these fellows...

I like both the Springer and Blades repaints, and I never had Cyb Evac, which I heard was a good Transformer. I think I'll get them both, as for Ratbat, I dunno, I love Sideways, but Ratbat only looks O.K. to me.
(Oddly enought I have the Movie Evac but not the original...I have a repaint/remold inspired by a Cyb toy and now i want the repaints of that very Cyb toy.)
(Holy Hell they got Ratbat transformed all wrong)
