Well, IIRC these TFs are supposed to be more akin to superheores than soldiers, so while military stuff would be classified by technical specifications such as weight, measurments, & ammunition load, rate of fire, etc.... superheroes are usually classified simply by what super powers they have.

The voyager class of Prime better have a face plate.

Tech Specs are the list of numbers on a back card of the Transformers, from 1 to 10, on their Strength, Intelligence, Speed, Endurance, etc. MOST Transformers have them. He means so far all Animated toys seem to lack these.

My jury is still out on the animated figures, I might get this one, as it would make a good Orion Pax.

If these are already being produced, remind me again why we have to wait six months for their release...?

I am willing to bet we see these on the shelves before the year is over...

i have 2 questions 1.how did this ebay member get this prime and 2.isnt these toys delayed till june

Yes, I am quite aware of what Transformer tech specs are, having a collection of over 600 of them. My point was these are not meant to be soldiers, therefore they aren't catorogized in the same manner as other TFs but rather like superheroes, who are catorogized by special abilities alone, so their ability list is their tech specs.

Personally, I can't wait for this line to come out. I'm probably in the minority on this, but, I plan to be a completionist with this line.

I have a new Nephew my sister adopted, and he is a big time Transformer fan..infact most of his best english is when he says the names of the different TF's so these will be perfect for his little hands.

And that, right there folks, is why Animated's toy line is a good thing. They're going back to the core audience with it and it's designed for them. Because of that, I can't count this as loss, but as a chance to take a break from having to buy figures for a while.

It's about time TFs went back to the kids.

Oh and adopted nephew? Your sister friggin' rocks man. She's a hero.

Thanks, she is a cool sister and yeah I agree, these are great for the little kids.

I also kinda doubt this will be the last cartoon line from TF's. I bet we see other series down the road where the figures are not as child like. That just means it gives the people who don't like this line...the chance to keep building on the collectiona they still need to finish off, weather it be G1, TFTM, RID or what ever line people like to collect the most.

Since when? Ever played ay hero RPG? Marvel Super Heroes, Gurps Supers, Champions, Superbabes? Pleanty of stats in those

My take on their lack of tech spec numbers is this line of toon-town-transformers is aimed at 8 year olds, and the people at Hasbro think pretty color pictures are worth more than boring numbers to the kiddies.

I agree with deepwater, they look friendly with the bright colors and bulky cartoony appearance.

First I disliked the heads, but Prime's okay. He doesn't look like one of the strongest bots (which cybertron prime dit with it's big cannons).

I think almost any TF fan is going to like 'm half a year after the show airs and the bots hit the shelves.

Starscream, Prime and Megatron are my favorites so far

I want that figure!
