While I waited for these to load I admit I found myself praying Please don't let Magnus be another Prime repaint..

Woot that he isn't!!! Finally an awsome Magnus that Isn't a repaint!!

Swoop looks a bit like the Beast machines version of Silverbolt.

BB repaint I may get cause I like the pretty colors.

Swoop is alright

Magnus and Sentinal I'm gonna get and save for latter.

They all look great! And Magnus is not a OP repaint!

Sat Apr 26, 2008 11:50 pm

YES!!
Rejoice for UM and all his hammer-wielding glory!
I like SP's medieval style sheild and sword, and Swoop looks cool too.
AA BB just looks like a rehash of Stealth BB from the movie line.
I'm not too interested in him.
Otherwise, All of those figs look like they are going to kick total ass!

I reckon Swoop looks good, he'll look sweet with the other 2 dinobots.

Magnus looks cool as well although with the vast number of Universe figs coming I probably won't get him.

cool but if bb is autobot academy bb he shouldn't have have an earth veacle as his alt.I WANT UM!!!!!!his gravity hammer thing looks sweet! :grin:

Sentinal Prime's legs look like they won't support him so he could have balance problem.

Autobot Academy Bumblebee looks OK but doen't feel anything special.

Swoop looks very cool.

Ultra Magnus is the best looking of the TF: Animated line.

But I'll still wait for the toys to arrive to make a final judgement.

UM is magnificent.
Sentinel Sucks.
Academy BB... wtf? looks like the show plot will get more and more **** up just to force more and more repaints of BB...

Damn, UMagnus is soooo awesome!! He looks even better than his cartoon counterpart. He sure has lots of weapons on him, this is great. I don't know whether to buy one or two.

Swoop looks good.. Don't know too much about Sentinel.. don't really like his Vehicle mode.

I love it, but my wallet feels the strain even now ....

:grin:

Ultra Magnus looks cool and he's not a Prime repaint. BB looks... ok. I'm going to wait until I see Swoop in person.

Niiice! As soon as I saw Sentinel and Ultra Magnus take on their Earth alt forms in the cartoon, I said "Those are going to be two awesome figures, right there." and I was right! (It's just too bad Sentinel is such an annoying jerk as a character on the show!)

Cool. I can't wait.

I don't think Sentinel will be a deluxe like the description says. Remember how everyone thought Blitzwing was going to be a delux, but after seeing the Botcon photos, he is proven to be a voyager. I think it'll be the same for Setinel.

About Sentinel's size: - I thought the same when looking through some of the Botcon pics. I was thinking maybe he's actually a voyager.

I mean he looks about as tall as Swoop here, and he's not even standing up straight. They have his legs bent in a squatting position. He also looks to have more bulk. Given Swoop's lanky proportions, if anything you'd expect Swoop to be the tall deluxe. But Sentinel looks both taller and fatter.

Well that's what I thought, and I had a post saying as much in another thread, but apparently from those who've seen it, Sentinel's actually one of the smaller deluxes. According to some, he may even be smaller than Soundwave.
