I didn't see anybody else mention this so I thought I would. TFormers.com has some better pics up of the figures. I reccommend checking out the Blitzwing pics...they're much clearer and kickass. Also, the Soundwave pic, with the guitar. You can definitely see that the guitar transforms (into Laserbeak, which has been said elsewhere).

I wasn't impressed before, and I'm still not.

Have a little more taste, please.

You know I think people are missing the brillance of some of these designs. Notice how most of them come really very close to the cartoon model with virtually no kibble. These are really well designed for once. And really these are no worse than the movie designs were when we first saw those. The proportions are a bit odd but then again they aren't human they shouldn't nessarily have human proportions.

Looks like they got access to the source photos used to create that presentation. Nice!

This should be "newsified."

Those of us that like TF Animated will want to see this. Good find, Sephron.

Ah, now Sportimus, its not nice to make fun of the handicapped. However, I agree with you that Bulkhead might just be the worst TF EVER. I won't be getting him or Lugnut, but I like all of the rest...Some more than others, but I at least like all of the rest enough to buy them.

One thing I DO NOT want from this line is another repaint of Bumblebee into Cliffjumper. G1 Cliffjumper was actually a Porshe, so if Jazz gets the Animated treatment, then I hope that Cliffjumper is a repaint of Jazz this time around. Or just gets his own mold. What a concept! :-P

I know we will get repaints, we always do, but I REALLY hope Hasbro mixes it up this time. Like in Cybertron, when Crosswise, a non-G1 character, was repainted into Smokescreen, that was different, that was cool, and if we must have repaints, then that's the kind of thing I want to see.

Oh, and I agree with Koloth.

You know, after looking at Lockdown again, his car mode is very cool, but the bot mode of his toy doesn't look nearly as close to the artwork as the rest of the Animated line. He's kinda disappointing. I may just get him and leave him in car mode.

I actually think that these look really nice, especially seeing what they are based on.

Soundwave + guitar Lazerbeak= yes

The more I see these, the more I'm warming up to them. Voyager Prime in particular is actually looking pretty good.

Which one is blitzwing for the life me I can't figure it out some of them look so similar that it is hard to tell which one he is. If someone could post the picture of him that would be great or do link right to the picture of him. Thanks

by **Loki41872** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 9:38 pm

Starscream for sure. The rest I can take or leave.

Blitzwing is the one that transforms into both a jet and a tank...

Why dosent any one like Bulkhead and lugnutz they are the muscle. I love all the toys and Lugnutz and Bulkhead will probably be the first i get i just like them they are the muscle out of happenstance these guys might be some of my favorite toys. Also how could you judge it to be the worst tf toy ever when you never played with it also the honor of that sadly goes to leader movie megatron.

true. remember, a month ago people were saying that: the animation sucked, the toys were crap, the toys wont transform, the toys will be repaints all on the basis of that ONE image of prime. Incredible deductions from so little information. no wonder tf fans have a reputation of being whiners.

I couldnt agree less how almost all of them except for a select few hate it. They complain about it and always end up being wrong.I Personally want they toys very bad the pics made me love them even more than i did also with the clip in the comicon made me wana see it more. Well I am guessing Megatron will probably be my first or Bulkhead Or Lugnutz

In tech specs change your int. To a 7............. Have you played with these toys really wait till you mess with it or see it to declair it bad. Pictures dont do much for toys you should have learned that from movie toy pics.

There are a few i like but most are crap. The only ones im sure about getting are Megatron, Starscream, and maybe Blitzwing. The 2nd primes not bad and a few of the other no named ones are ok. All this means is that ill have more money for the classics. We get this crap but they cant mass release Alt Hot Rod or the classic seekers. Thanks a lot hasbro.
