TFClub has posted several new images of Henkei Cyclonus, which show a great amount of the detail and deco of the figure. What's more is that Cyclonus’s Targetmaster partner, Nightstick, has a different paint job than the Hasbro version. Click here to see this awesome figure.

Also, e-Hobby has posted many new images of several upcoming Henkei figures. These include Henkei Alert (Red Alert) as a redeco of Universe Sideswipe/Lambor with an added light bar, Henkei Smokescreen, which is an even more show-accurate redeco of Universe Smokescreen, the Henkei Minibot Attack Team, which consists of redecos of Universe Legends Brawn, Beachcomber and Bumblebee (as Cliffjumper!), and the Henkei Minibot Spy Team, wich consists of redecos of Universe Legends Cosmos, Warpath, and Wheelie.

You know, I was going over my action figures for the Classics line, specifically Optimus Prime and Megatron and it occurred to me: Why don't we have a Galvatron that is a Voyager class? That said, I think Cyclonus would have translated better as a Voyager class also, so he could square off with Classics Ultra Magnus (after the after market armor). That, and I'd like to see a Rodimus Prime that is a Voyager class. Essentially these are pipe dreams with little to no chance of happening within the forseeable future, but what do ya'll think? Voyager classes for the figures of leaders?

Yes 100%, and give Scourge a release.

Here's what Habro said about Universe Galvatron:
"Galvatron was initially thought of as being an Ultra or Voyager scale. [The Hasbro guy who said this] wanted him big, he IS Galvatron after all. But we already had larger tank-like vehicles in the Universe line, such as Onslaught and Dropshot/Scattershot. So he was actually moved to Deluxe while he was still in the sketching stage. So he was actually designed and engineered to be a deluxe from pretty much the start, though having him larger would have been [the Hasbro guy's] preference."

As for Scourge, no word on a Universe release. I say just ues the 6" Titanium toy as a substitute.

I agree that Galvatron should have been larger. He's still a pretty cool figure reguardless. I am using my Titanium Scourge for a sub with Galvsand Cyclonus.

Any chance of us ever seeing Rodimus Prime (with trailer and all) in any up coming lines, or are we sticking with Hot Rod re-named as Rodimus?

There was a 6" Titnaium figure of Rodimus Prime (trailer and all).

And there's Rodimus Prime coming in Animated (but his altmode is currently unknown).

Man, I hope they do Red Alert for Universe too. And the repainted Legends Bumblebee as Cliffjumper?? Come on, you'd think that they'd get tired of doing that routine! For once (and other than the Animated Activator with the new head) can we get a new mold, CLASSICS Cliffjumper????!!!

They had to recolor him as Cliff(jumper) because there already was a Henkei Bumble(bee).
