Classics Jetfire, Mirage and Two-pack Megatron images!

First image of TF Classics Jetfire, and he's indeed a beauty!

Notice how much he resembles the Stormbringer version... as far as I can see, his nosecone will split into two and form the waist, so his transformation will be different. Also note how his gun is exactly like the one the Marvel/cartoon redesign had! All in all, really cool! :D

You can see Mirage on the top right corner, but here's a pic of the prototype:

Now, most people complain how skinny he is, but I think the look fits the character well. Plus, his face is really good - something between the cartoon and the old toy. Besides, if we wanted a Mirage that transforms just like the original, there's RM Mirage...

Two pack Megatron, well judge yourselves:

Well, the good news - this is gonna be the first tank Megs who will be able to rotate his turret...something even Titanium Megs cant. I even like the design - cybertronised, sort of - but please! :eek: What's with the rotating blade arm? Megs never, ever had such a weapon, and even so, it just looks badly designed... His cannon should be on his arm, or on his shoulder...

His head, Btw, if you look at it , is an exact replica of TWW Meg's, even down to the small holes in the helmet. I'll wait to see how OP turns out before deciding to buy this twopack.

Jetfire looks awesome! Not overly fussed on Megatron, but the rest look great!

Anyone know when these are going to be available in the shops? I think I remember hearing November but I am not sure. Can't wait till they are though.

These are leaked photos from some non-open meeting, I guess. otherwise we'd have seen more pics.

And guess what, there were more toys on that table... Ladies and gents, I give you - drumrolls - Classics Grimlock! 8) (and a better look at Mirage).

I've gotten used to his new transformation - after all, why would we want a Classic Grimlock that transforms the same way Energon G. does? Still I think he has some issues - his arms in robot mode are a bit stubby. Not too crazy about the paint either - why is his head silvery, while his arms are left grey? I'd really like to see a close-up on his face though. Oh and note how his missile in that gun looks like it can double as a sword... :)
