I love him too!!! it's like Mad Max, a Junk yard bulldog, and a transformer all in one!!!!

It's funny how Bulkhead needs to be in a totally different size class in order to remain in scale with the others. (He's not Prime after all.) :p But still, 2008 can't come soon enough.

This toyline is starting to grow on me a little.

yeah...

Mirror Please.

I liked Lockdown till I saw the bot mode.

The alt looks like TransTech ShockWave, the bot(like most of this line) looks flimsy.

you want to see something funny???

right click on the prime images and save them, they will have one name for the save.. then go back in to view that folder and where you saved it, now look at what the title of the image says!!!

it starts out by saying this:
OPanimed01

But ends up saving as this:
8516_Admitting_You_re_an_A**hole_Posters.jpg

Bulkhead looks very top heavy

Lockdown alt is the best. His bot mode sux. I will pass. Prowl is my fav. I like motorcycle bots. Ransack was one of my all-time favs.

I'm really starting to love this series, I haven't seen a single one I don't want to add to my humble collection.

Honestly though, is that really necessary?? I mean doesn't that eBay seller realize that by other sites posting his images and listing it in their news sections that he's getting way more exposure for his sale? His name is clearly stamped into the images, so he's getting credit for it... come on!! exposure like from us gives him more bidders... why the hate???

Prowl wins.

I love them ALL! Can't wait. Lockdown looks so bizarre, you just have to love him.

Seconded.

Lockdown is awsome! Me likes!

thirded all i got was the alt modes.

To my mind these toys along with G1 and BW (and even the few classics) have got personality, i never found that with AEC and even the accomplished alternator line and least of all with the movie toys, in fact im starting to find the movie toys my least favoured TF toys of all (but i do like jazz immensley)...back OT....

the colour schemes are more subtle than i expected, bulkheads is nicely balanced over that crazy charicatured figure!!

BB looks more colourful than in the last auction.

lockdown needs some chrome!! I'm not a massive fan of his robo mode (big for a delux) although unique but his car mode is sure to be a favourite.

these toys just scream 'pick me up and transform me' something that the cybertron toys never seemed to say to me.

Lockdown SO just got added to my must-have list.

Bulkhead is sweet! shouldn't Prowl be scout sized?
his vehicle mode doesn't sync well with the others

Yet once again animated shows to be the best line in a long time. I haven't been this excited about a main line since Energon.

These seriously kick ass.

This is the first time I see good pics of Lockdown's alt and Lockdown looks awesome. No car kibble in robot mode. And his head is one of the better ones.

I mirrored Lockdown, just in case anybody wants to look at it. The rest we've seen many times, and I Just don't like them. Bulkhead is just to (excuse the pun) bulky.

Prowl may still grow on me. Prime is o.k.

Up until now i hadn't seen any that I actually liked. Lockdown looks pretty cool.

Also, for some reason I think Bulkhead is incredibly cute. I don't know why. He's like Crumplezone's fat little brother.

Bulkhead's retractable warflail may sell me on that figure.

Lockdown will be Cybertron Downshift's archnemesis.

ooooo... I like this....

Meh, so far I'm passing on all of these. Don't really like this style of design (although its not bad. Just too anime/teentitan-ish for my liking.

I'll just stick with classics.

looks like they didn't transform lockdown's hand correctly,
if he is going to be displayed with the hook, his hand should probably be folded in.

Bulkhead and lockdown are ok but I'm just glad I don't have to waste my money on this new series. The movie pretty much put me in the poor house so I'm good on these. Just need MP Starscream and I'll be happy.... for now lol.

who`s gonna pay those prices when they can just wait til its in stores or do pre-orders online and pay like 15$ or less each..i mean really..lol

These new guys are cool! I'll probably pass on all except BB and Lockdown, but that's because I'm not made of money. Bulkhead would be a definite buy as a deluxe, but I dunno about him as a voyager -- from the pics, he looks to be way shorter than the others if he only measures up to 15cm even with the "wings". He does seem quite a bit wider than the others, but still.

i really hate them bloody hell lock down is crap and i m not going to wacth it.

We're still cooking with non-mirrored pics?

Is it just my imagination, or does every negative comment I read fail to specify why that person hates Animated? It's just this kind of random flaming that gives fanboys a bad name.

I sooo can't wait for these to come out.

Bulkhead reminds me of Trapjaw from He-Man.

I'm digging Prowl a lot. I liked Lockdown until I noticed his legs are the whole side of the car.

So far Bumblebee and Prowl are the only ones that look interesting to me. The transformations look like they'll be cool.

Prowl is by far the best Bike-former ever

I don't like them, the only one I like is Prime, the rest are just Meh.

Bulkhead? Really? I guess I can see it in the face -- Lockdown was really the one who put me in mind of Trapjaw (but I didn't realize he was who I was thinking of until you mentioned the name). Must be the hook.

And I just looked at the new pics of Prime -- he looks a LOT better with his arms properly transformed in the back and the addition of the ax back there to cover up the hands. If the more attractive Earth mode weren't on the way, I'd be all about that guy.

Wow, some dumbass actually overpaid for Bulkhead and Lockdown. What a waste of money. These will be in the stores by Feb I'd bet.

Lockdown is a musthave in my book!

these toys are really doing nothing for me

Still not likeing Bulkhead, but the others look pretty good. Only real problem I can see is they won't display well with TFs from other lines. They're so clearly a different style, you'd be hard-pushed to identify them as Transformers if you didn't know what they were.

Bingo.

I had not read that thought in words yet, but yes, quite true.

I don't like Lockdown too much, but I don't usually get many Decepticons. Although I will def get the Megatron and Starscream from this line. The Autobots look great.

This line needs to hurry up and get here, but having some time to financially recover from my movie-line spending spree is appreciated.

My 2 pennies on the subject at hand:

Prowl: Not usually a big motorcycle TF fan, but that was probably due to there not being many good representations of such until Movie Arcee came along. And since it's Prowl, it's a must for me....

Lockdown: Car mode definitely has style and character, the robot mode will need time to grow on me. The skinny waist and arms don't seem like great Decepticon material, considering his muscle car alt mode.

Bulkhead: I'm not sure why, but I'm attracted to the rotund fellow. Such "bulk" definitely will stick out amongst the more slimmed down style of other figures in this line.

Bumblebee: Still on the fence with this one, a little TOO "cutesy", particularly after we just saw BB as a warrior in the movie.

Prime: Looking forward to the voyager more than this deluxe since the latter just doesn't do it for me.

Still, I'll likely end up buying them all!

I think Bulkhead looks amazing. Cannot WAIT for this line!
