My apologies if this has already been discussed or even officially explained by Hasbro in past q&as or at the convention, but...
I was looking at the Pursuit of Cobra figures and thinking how they seem to relate to the ARAH line in the same way the TF Classics 1.0 & 2.0 line relates to G1. I'm thinking of, for example, Jungle Assault Duke is to ARAH Duke as Classics 1.0 Optimus is to G1 Optimus. (or for you analogy dorks JA Duke:ARAH Duke::Classics OP:G1 OP)
POC does not, to me, look like ROC (nor 25th, nor ME) They're... different. They're modern. They're more real world/less cartoony or comicy. They're loaded with accessories and sculpt detail. They're... bada$$! In other words, They're TF Classics!
We've heard for awhile that the focus would be on ROC but after the initial movie clamor died down, they would shift (if memory serves) to something like a movie universe with ARAH influences. And that made sense b/c it seems to mirror Hasbro's TF strategy. But I assumed (and I think a lot of others did too) that meant figures that look more like the ROC Deep Six and WM packs... lots of repainted/retooled figures on ROC cards with some ME/ARAH homages. I didn't expect anything like the POC figures on display.
So, I guess I'm asking:
-Is this the read anybody else gets on Hasbro's strategy?
-Does anybody else see the TF Classics/ POC similarities?
-Looking ahead, do you expect more new molds? More ROC/25th repaints?
-Do you think the realistic/modern style of POC figures like the jungle viper and Arctic Destro are here to stay until the 2nd movie?
-Any guesses on if they'll continue to use the ROC cards or something special for POC?
I'm hoping that, just as the most recent TF Universe/Classics 2.0 line was made of new, amazingly detailed molds updating G1 characters along with repaints from previous TF lines like Cybertron, the POC line will be many new realistic/moder molds like Arctic SE along with some 25th/ME/ROC repaints like the Elite Ice Viper. I could DEFINITELY get behind that...
