Future of the Classics line...?
I know that when it was originally conceived, the Classics line was supposed to be a short-lived filler to warm shelves until the movie toys came out.
Is that still the case, or is Hasbro going to keep them on for a while longer?

FALL 2008 ... CLASSICS??????????????????
CLASSICS 2.0
Showed us Sunstreaker and Sideswipe.
Want to continue realistic look with Classics.
"Transformers Universe" in G1 styled font.
Deluxe scale.
Will not be licensed vehicles
In early development.
Sunstreaker and Sideswipe will not have the same chest, head or design. They look just as different in robot mode as their G1 selves.
Showed us Octane (triple changer): military tanker vehicle and looks like the gun ship from TF Movie that took out Scorponok.
Looking to add an ultra scale to Transformers Universe.
They are planning on doing a new Galvatron figure that is not a repaint of Megatron.
2 segments for fall 2008: Transformers Animated and Transformers Universe (Classics 2.0). I have the impression that the G1 styled font "Transformers Universe" is the official name for Classics 2.0. The fans shouted ... Hasbro heard.
Not sure where I read this bit, there was SO much news coming from BotCon it's tough to track down all of it.... Hasbro wants to use Mainly characters from G1 Season 1 and 2 and also charaters that can be repainted/remoulded to make others. Ironhide/Ratchet Jazz/Prowl were named.

Um. Yes. I do.

Why don't they just dig out their old mould and reissue those good old stuff again?
Many of the old moulds don't exist anymore (Mirage). Many of the old moulds are not property of Takara (Shockwave, Jetfire). Lack of articulation. Lack of ease to kitbash. Closer look to animation/comic counterparts, unlike old moulds.

I wonder what's happening with that Cosmos design they were throwing about for awhile? Didn't they have a Cosmos Classics Toy planned, but when they finished the classics line they talked about using the design for the 6" Titaniums, and now I hear rumours about there being no more new 6" Titaniums being made... it would make sense to me to go ahead with the Cosmos Design, it was pretty cool!
As far as toys go, some of the car brothers would be awesome, I'm really intrigued about the Octane Design, (can't wait to see that!) - as far as leader characters, did I read incorrectly somewhere that they were designing a Galvatron that isn't based on the previous Megatron mould?
If nothing else, I would LOVE to see a Classics Omega Supreme! I took my G1 Omega out of his box last night and was just thinking about all the wonderful things they could do with this character now they have the ability to!
Man, if that 'Ultimate' Character in the next Classics line is Omega Supreme, I might have a heart attack!
