TFW member Automaster adds a couple more interesting entries on to the earlier released list of future TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED toy products that were seen as computer code entries for upcoming Walmart product. In other words, here's a quick peak at what HASBRO should be telling us about, and showing us in the near future.

Previously, we had learned that Skywarp (Voyager), Wasp(inator)(Deluxe), Swindle (Deluxe), Blurr (Deluxe), and Wreck Gar (Voyager) were scheduled to see an eventual release in this toy line. Great news right?

According to Automaster newly added to this list are a DELUXE CLASS ARCEE-- described as a sleek car, and a VOYAGE CLASS SHOCKWAVE--no description. Better news? A G1 stylized Arcee toy? Will Shockwave turn into his Autobot spy form of Longarm?

HASBRO has not confirmed these entries yet, but we expect confirmation or at least for them to address it in the near future, possibly at the upcoming San Diego Comic Convention.

[i:1kdwggpz]Courtesy of 2005 Boards Member Automaster we bring you news of more Transformers Animated toy listings that have appeared in Wal-Mart's computers! The listings back up those we had previously of a Deluxe Class Swindle, Blurr and Waspinator, plus Voyager Class Wreck Gar and Skywarp, but they also reveal the existence of two new Transformers Animated toys - in the Deluxe Class, an Arcee "Sleek Car", and in the Voyager Class Shockwave! There was also a further listing for something called "Electro Static S" which might be a part of a name of a repaint - maybe the name of the Lockdown Redeco who was shown off at Botcon? As always we will update you as soon as more news is available. [/i:1kdwggpz][/quote:1kdwggpz]

I think this was actually posted here awhile ago. In fact, I might have the PM with the list myself...

Crap I erased it.

I'll wait to see Arcee, if it's not close to a respectable Arcee, then I'm finaly gonna break down and order the CyberFemBot.

From what I remember, the others were mentioned but Arcee and Shockwave were a surprise to me. Either way, it is rockin good news.

Blurr and Arcee same mold just different heads? I thought Blurr looked a bit feminine in his robot mode. He was certainly skinny with a skinny head.

Shockwave is to be a tank alt from what I read elsewhere.

I just have this bad feeling it'll be a Longarm/Shockwave, where there's a head-change gimmick that'll ruin a good Shockwave figure.
Also, in the series, he's shown to have two clawed hands rather than one cannon arm. That disappointed me. I just hope they make his arm at least transform into a cannon.

The animated line is exceeding my expectations. It seems almost all the characters are receiving their own figures. I'm going to enjoy collecting this line.

I hope they eventually release some of the human characters. They could put them in 3 packs.

Seibertron was indeed very wierd today; I also had to hit up tfw2005 for news. This wave is full of so much win, mostly due to Arcee and Shockwave.

[quote="Lapse Of Reason":3blhtb77]I hope they eventually release some of the human characters. They could put them in 3 packs.[/quote:3blhtb77]

I've been thinking about how the human characters could be done and figured it might be viable to put them out as (Robot/Galactic/whatevertheMarvelonesarecalled) Heroes 2 packs. With Animated already being in a cutesy super deformed style and there already being multiple versions of most of the main cast this might make more sense than just doing Robot Heroes versions of the robot characters.

This rocks! I've always wanted a Shockwave but my parents were too cheap in the 80's to buy me one and now that bloody toy is stupid expensive ($400+) on ebay... so this will be the only way I can afford a Shockwave albeit in a different form than the one I remember back in the day...

*foams at mouth* I wanna see pictures!!

You can get G1 Shockwave for much less than $400.

Well, that would certainly explain Hasbro's cryptic answer to whether or not we'd get a G1-accurate Arcee at Botcon @_@

Sigh. My wallet's weeping again.

Shockwave is definately gonna be mine! (I keep confusing him with soundwave but they are both great!) I can't wait for Wreck-gar as he is my favorite. stupid time, go faster! :D

Some of the best news I've seen here, ever. The sleek car description with Arcee suggests we'll finally see her as she ought to be, not as a repaint of movie Arcee or whatnot. This toy comes with expectations almost as big as Unicron. It's a toy that fans have waited for since 1986. Animated's delivering on everything I always wanted from my favorite toys.

The other toys sound interesting, too. I wonder if Shockwave will convert into Longarm? That'll call for a four-changer, though the two robot modes can deal with only slight modification. I think I'll pass on the endless Starscream repaints ('cept maybe Ladyscream if she gets a partial remold) and I'll have a tough call on probable repaints like Wasp who do count as significant characters in the show. Slight remolding will probably sell me on them.
