New TFA figures found in Wal-Mart's computers!

I don't think "by accident" is how I would word that. "By chance" would be more appropriate.

Nice find. Let the hunt begin!

Score! I assume this means that the Animated line will continue throughout the movie, right? They wouldn't list these if the line was on hiatus until fall/winter.... ??

Anyway, nice to see Rodimus and Arcee on the horizon, as well as Blackout! Now, how about some leaked images!!!

I wonder who is the voyager Jetpack and can not wait to see Blackout . I wonder is the jetpack Cyclonus

Where's DAI ATLAS????

I bet "Jetpack" is that rumored flying version of OP. He probably gets some sort of jetpack attachment. Remember in "Transwarped" when OP said (paraphrasing:) "I really need to learn how to fly one of these days."

Anyway, Arcee is a must-buy for my, and Blackout is also a must-buy if he looks even half as cool as I expect based on the design.

only one I must have out of the group is the electro static soundwave. He looks good in the soundblaster paint app with the ratbat keytar. But I still want animated constructicons dangit(except that dirtboss, he looks kinda skeery).

Well, Arcee and Rodimus are must-buys. I am conflicted on Soundwave though. Do I really want to spend the money on a straight-repaint in order to get Ratbat?

RODIMUS!!!!! WOO HOO!

OH YEAH! If this is true it will make my day/month/whatever, I really want an animated Rodimus fig. Then they just need Springer & Kup and the main movie cast is complete... unless they want another Wheelie, but the Universe one is good enough.

Animated Rodimus?! *Skice dose the happy dance*

Hello, I am Autocon Jetpack. I fly around doing nothing and can poop lasers.

That would be technically weird.

Hell yeah ne Hot Rod. Hopefully he wont be an excusive so i wont have to pay walmarts ridicules prices.

Again, the Contructicons get no love.

Does Walmart ever get exclusive figures? I know they get exclusive repaints sometimes, like the "Movie" repaints of Cybertron deluxe figures, but I doubt that Walmart would get its own unique new Animated figure.

ponycorn wrote:Again, the Contructicons get no love.

There are no plans to make toys of them. Same goes for Omega Supreme.

Can't wait to see new pics of Rodimus and Arcee!

EDIT: Jetpack is most likely talking about a new Prime.

I am really hoping that the constructicons still aren't getting any love because some day they are going to combine on the show, and they don't they don't want the toys to be a spoiler.

Although, I am hopeful, but not optimistic.

Oh hell yes.

Rodimus = me happy...

Yes! Rodimus, Arcee, and Soundblaster are a must buy. If Blackout looks good, then he will be mine, too.

Slag yeah!

GO RODIMUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Supports my hypothesis that Goldfire Grimmy and Hydrodive BB were not cancelled, but the wave of just them has been canceled, and replaced with the wave of HBB, GG, Jetpack Prime, and Blackout.

I am glad we will be seeing some new figures

Think there was a version of Beast Machines Megatron that was KB-exclusive, But that's the only time I know of that a non-Botcon exclusive was anything other than a direct repaint. 3 of the only 4 Transformers I've ever truly kept MISB are exclusive repaints. Actually their all repaints, as the 4th is U2.0 Starscream, but the other 3 are Movie Barricade (from Target) and U1.0 Snow Cat and Downshift (which ended up being the final KB-exclusive figures, or at least the last ones I knew about). It'd be nice if they did something more unique that repaints for exclusives, but I don't see it happening.

There were images back at ToyFair this year, but I know at least some of the stuff in the gallery I linked to are out.

Any update with new tfa figures

Overloaded wrote:Any update with new tfa figures

Good question. I'm not encouraged by the lack of images for the Blackout and Rodimus figures...although it would make sense if they're holding off on Animated until after the movie line is fully engulfing the shelves.

I believe animated could be finsihed as we hear nothing

Arcee is a guarantee, so i'm still hoping Rodimus and Blackout are being released. Unfortunately with the RotF tying in, the likes of getting any other Animated figures seems highly unlikely. Let's just hope for the best.

Walmart got Masterpiece Starscream, 1st release in the US. Can't remember if other stores got Masterpiece Prime or not. Walmart was also the only store to get Alternators Rumble and Ravage.

this is great news!! i just hope this isn't the end of the line for animated figures. i really would like to see an animated Wheeljack!!

I would like to Wheeljack but we will soon find out if animated keeps going will we see new figures

I'd like to think Arcee was a guarantee; I think she and the repaint of Soundwave are the only figures announced at ToyFair that haven't been released yet. But then, I've never seen Universe Legends wave 5 on pegs either, and I feel like the legends aught to be out by now. Between that and the fact that we're 10 days out from ROTF's official street date as I type this, I'm a bit worried.

There's images of the Animated Arcee figure in the latest issue of ToyFare..

Reason to be optimistic then, at least of Arcee's release.

Tie in the fact that Golfire Grilock, and Submarine Bumblebee were cancelled from production..

Blurrz wrote:Tie in the fact that Golfire Grilock, and Submarine Bumblebee were cancelled from production..

I'm not overly let down by goldfire Grimlock's cancellation, because I wasn't overly impressed with the earlier counterpart. Kind of a ditto for Sub-Bumblebee, because I'm not seeing the point. I wanna pick up Arcee if she ends up coming out, though.

I taught BB was back on

All should be made clear at Botcon... I hope

Overloaded wrote:I taught BB was back on

Wouldn't know. Just don't see the point in a submarine BB.

He is a homage to the first look of bb in alt mode on cybertron

Overloaded wrote:He is a homage to the first look of bb in alt mode on cybertron

Yep. Pretty cool looking, too.

That would be cool. A deluxe class BB cybertron mode. That would open the repaint floodgates as well. My question is this though: "Why doesn't Hasbro have any of these toys on their website?" (Not that it means anything though because I bought Safeguard at Walmart before it was offered on the official Hasbro site.)

They could at least repaint BB into Cliffjumper or even we could get Bumper

Overloaded wrote:He is a homage to the first look of bb in alt mode on cybertron

BB's Cybertron alt mode looked like a submarine?

I guess I can see it, I supposed.

Ay, yi, yi, yi, yi.

Guys, when Overloaded said this:

he meant G1 BB's Cybertronian altmode. Hydrodive Bumblebee resembles G1 Bumblebee's Cyb. altmode:




Even I personally don't see the big resemblance between the two, Hydrodive Bumblebee doesn't look a thing like Animated BB's Cyb. altmode

It is what I ment

Overloaded wrote:It is what I ment

Therefore, it was what I took it to mean. As you just quoted me as saying. Sabrblade had wrongly assumed I took it to mean something else. Maybe he thought I meant Cybertron the series, not Cybertron the homeworld. Or maybe he thought I meant BB's Cybertronian alt mode in Animated, which would still be wrong, because I haven't seen enough of Animated to know what his Cybertronian alt mode was (or even if it's been shown).
