More Transformers Animated Prototypes on eBay

Oh man, those prices are going to jump...

Hey, cool! Paul Bunyan/Bruce Campbell has wrist-mounted smokestack-guns!

Bulkhead is just silly. I'm still not sold on the aesthetic of these new Transformers. In time I'll probably learn to love them, but for now they just don't seem robotic enough to me.

so its not a lot of prototypes.
its one being constantly passed down.
and these are out of the package.
these are gonna get more expensive once the show becomes popular and by then these will become less "minty" from being taken out and put into new packages.
this is pissing me off.

Cool Starscream.

but we do get more pictures.
which'll make me want to get them even more!
damn you hasbro! and ebay! and that Umbrella song(unrelated but its freakin stuck in my head cause they play it at school EVERY weekend).

just wait till the next wave.
Dinobots, Soundwave, do I need to name more?

What's with Prowl's broken traffic light???

Those guys just look bizarre. Soundwave as an SUV with a guitar? WTF, mates...

@ An_de: the traffic light is a flail weapon.

SO I'm going to guess this is wave 1.
these are the only guys we've saw on auction sites.

4 Autobots
2 decepticons

4 deleuxes
2 voyegers

sounds like good numbers for the first wave.
I hope to see the rest in their packaging soon.

I find the new dinobots bizarre in a cool way. better looking the Energon Grimlock. and Grimlock'll get his g1 transformation if any body hated his classics version.

And Soundwave...
guitar lazerbeak sounds awesome in my opinion
I think they should make a drumset rumble
ravage could be a... what instrument looks like a jaguar?
look at it this way
which sound the less relating to sound(wave)
1.tapedeck with cassettes
2.Spaceship - barrels?
3.Car with stereo system(Scions have big stereo systems me thinks) with guitar
in conclusion Animated makes more sense then Cybertron

that frickin Traffic Light is the worse weapon ever.
but at least prowl has ninja stars and turns into a motorcycle

The traffic light could be cool if the string was actually a poseable wire! But I'm guessing it's not.

If Animated Grimlock transformed like G1 Grimlock and looks like a Classics figure, I'd get him... And there's more to Soundwave than mere sound, my friend!

From the auctions: "Hasbro just announced that the toys would be delayed until June 2008"

Umm, when did that happen? Another one of those "Movie! Rare!" B.S. things eBay sellers try these days?

Nope, the auction tells the truth.

We've haven't seen anything on voyeger prime since comic-con.
And I'm sure we won't be seeing earth mode Megatron for awhile. As he's not suppose to get an earth mode in the show till the end of the first season.

yeah earlyier his week it was annouced.

Izanami wrote:Nope, the auction tells the truth.

Must have missed that. Seems strange that the series would debut so much earlier than the toyline, losing a lot of the impact and traction on the general public.
"cool new cartoon!"
"where can I buy the toys?"
"you can't"
"oh"
"but if you wait half a year, just happen to remember, and you're not completely over it, they may just be starting to arrive"
"uh-huh. what else ya got?"

Can't blame a person for being sceptical though. Otherwise I really could have a 27 foot long penis, 20 gorgeous Russian brides with whom I have a "lot of common", as much software as I wanted for $1.25, retire and live off my investments in a company I've never heard of that just keep going up and up, be buzzed all day long on legal "herb" while playing with my uber-rare G1 Devastator KO and Movie Arcee. And if that didn't make me happy, my shipment of anti-depressants and weight loss miracles from Canada would surely be arriving real soon.

No intent on bidding, but something that has been bothering specificly with this line is the trafic light that comes with Prowl.

What's that all about?

Will the repaint come with a pole so we can piece together the traffic light bot from Cybertron, cause that would be cool!

Urgh....simply awful..some of these dont even deserve the Autobot or Decepticon symbol to grave their plastic.

The only decent looking one that i MIGHT buy is Starscream.

I've seen all of thses before but Starscream is an eye opener. Something about that smirk just says "Love me and Buy me". Id love to see a pic of his jet mode.

Ok, I'm admitting it. I originally hated the concept of Animated when it was first hinted at, but I'm really starting to like these toys. A lot. O_o;

I like Bulkhead and Starscream, the rest (other then the Dinobots) looks stupid to me. I don't think I would even like the ones I just mentioned but I'm a big fan of them so its hard not to like them.

These look great, I miss balljoints on Trans-figs...

I may be in a minority but I haven't seen one of these I like yet! I think they look like a lot of work has gone into them and hasbro should be proud of them as toys but surely adult collectors are not going to provide the same sort of market for these? That traffic light thing is so bad its funny.

Got to admit though - its the faces that mainly put me off. I only really buy TFs that I can display with ones from other series and these would stick out like a sore thumb.

Hasbro - Well done but NO THANKS!!!

Man these guys are awesomesauce covered with a thick layer of choc-mint awesomesauce.

Bulkhead looks really really good with the similar toned paint scheme!

Double post...

The seller got all his test shots (except some of the unpainted ones) from herootoymakers, he's just reselling them.

gross lookin things

I don't beleave for one second that the Animated figures are being pushed back to June. It's not like them to sit on profit.

I think it's been leaked by Hasbro to increase the desire for these figures. You always want what you cannot have!

They have done it before, can't say there's anything from stopping them this time around. It's not like it's some insidious plot, it's just smart marketing.

That's a word you never hear mentioned in the same sentence as Hasbro, unless preceded by "it's not very".

bulkhead has a missing finger or whatever those clamp-hand things are on his left hand.

Dude, are very observant or do you just read auction descriptions? These figures get better looking by the minute, but my money's already destined for more Classics.

I think I know why I like this Starscream's head.
The chin and helmet remind me of those Egyptian masks.

I don't care for these figures but that Starscream is pretty cool.

The face looks a bit like the one of Reideen.

These figures are not bad but I can't wait till we get to see Megatron and Blitzwing.

Starscream has those Movie "Chicken" legs here too it looks like.
