Awesome.

Edit: Personally, I want Rodimus, Arcee, and Wingblade Optimus.

Please for the love of god dont get canceled. I really want a new HotRod. Is there a release date for these yet?

Wow, i want rodimus, arcee and Blackout....

Most of these were in the display cases at BotCon. I believe the only ones that weren't were Blackout and Wingblade Optimus.

You can find pictures of them here in a Seibertron Photo Gallery here

Odd, I thought Hotrod (at least) wasn't going to be released til next year... either Kmart's jumping the gun a bit or we're gonna get them earlier than expected.

by **sideswipe98** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 1:47 am

the ones i'm officially gonna get are arcee,rodimus minor,wingblade optimus prime,blackout,electrostatic soundwave,hydrodive bumblebee,freeway jazz, and maybe goldfire grimlock.and cybertronion ratchet when they release him and i know he's not on the listing, but still.i still think hasbro could've chosen a better name than "toxic oil slick", my choice for the name would is "tar pit".cause "tar pit" is a good name for the repaint,just look at ROTF swerve toy,he's just a repaint of sideswipe.and ROTF skywarp and ramjet,but not really if you look close at them and starscream,you'll see that starscream's cheat is larger than theirs.

by **sideswipe98** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 1:56 am

i don't think hasbro has even said their making a hotrod toy or i just missed the news when theysaid their gonna make one.wait are you talking about rodimus minor or hotrod.i also heard they might make a red alert toy.check hotrod and red alert at transformers wikia. :-?

by **sideswipe98** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 2:04 am

sorry about the mistake.i meant starscream's chest is larger than skywarp's and ramjet's chest.i think redecos or something like that should be the same molds.and sorry about any other mistakes. :oops:

by **Mirage22** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 2:39 am

Sweet. Rodimus will be mine, and Arcee and Blackout will be as well! The Animated Line isn't dead yet! I just bought Animated Skywarp the other day, just to keep the spirt alive!

by **sideswipe98** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 2:55 am

awww.that's nice,i still need to get to get skywarp,i have starscream and sunstorm.hasbro is also gonna release a voyager thundercracker.and they might release voyager ramjet and slipstream(slipstream is the female clone) and supreme class omega supreme next year.and why did hasbro release an activators dirge(dirge is a starscream clone that DIDN'T have a debut in Transformers Animated, may the show rest in peace)? and hasbro is going to continue the toyline without the show.i heard they were going to release the constructicons as a two-pack(i think they said that in 2008,dirt boss hadn't made his debut until the last season)

by **Mirage22** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 3:51 am

That's all I'm waitin' for. The Animated Constructicons. A two-pack would be sweet. Even, nicer, all 3 together, but that'd run for about 50 bucks.

Like I have been saying since they were announced, I want Roddy Monir, Arcee, Blackout, HDBB and Wingblade Prime!!!

News Credits: 2 · by **TFBuyer** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 7:42 am

Now THIS is Transformer news I'm excited to see! Enough of the RotF toys!

Anyway, I'm very interested in knowing the release date for these--I had resigned myself to the fact that these probably wouldn't be put out until Christmas time at the earliest. But haven't we already put to rest all the speculation about an Omega Supreme figure and the Constructicons? I thought the answer on those was a disappointing "no." Not to be a downer...

Anyway, great news! Nice to see something Animated on the horizon again!

by **Soundwave__Superior** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 8:00 am

Well Figures, seeing as there are no K-Marts anywhere near where I live I hope Wal-Mart starts selling these. I think Hasbro needs to make some TFA Constructicons.

Im getting those Soundwaves. :grin:

I hope it's true. I still want Arcee, Rodimus, and Blackout to complete my Animated collection. (I'm not collecting the whole series, but those are the last 3 that I want.)

by **TylerDante69** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 8:44 am

How about Voyager Thundercraker and deluxe Ironhide????

And I still havent seen Activator Cliffjumper??

by **Talous** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 8:47 am

Sweet, I am so picking up Arcee when she's on the pegs.

Like Primus1101 on Facebook · by **Primus1101** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 8:54 am

if i see them, i'll get arcee, rodimus, bumblebee, optimus and blackout... if i see them. is it possible these MAY be late updates to the universe line... maybe? just a suggestion, forgive me if i sound crazy.

by **Mechastrike** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 10:43 am

I GOT ACCESS DENIED!!!!!! What gives?

News Credits: 1 · by **bluecatcinema** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 10:50 am

"Toxic" Oil Slick? As good a name as any, I suppose...

News Credits: 1 · by **Nemesis Rodimus** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 12:11 pm

As far as I'm concerned, Rodimus Minor, Fireblast Grimlock, and Wingblade Optimus Prime will be my last Transformers Animated toys, unless they release a Voyager Ultra Magnus or Activator Sentinel Prime.
I have every Elite Guard member except Magnus, and he's nowhere to be found, not even Roadbuster UM. I need a Magnus, and it seems that a Voyager or some other type of figure (Activators, maybe?) are my only hope.
Oh, and did you know that Wingblade Optimus comes with the Magnus Hammer? And he's deluxe sized. He's a remold of the Battle Begins deluxe (probably without battle damage and with more accurate paint).

:BOT2:

Hot Rod = Rodimus. They're essentially the same character.

Unless you're in Europe, where Jolt is sometimes referred to as Hot Rod.
