I thought we where on to a good thing with the output so far from Mech iDeas, but these comedy animated things just look weak.
Guess they might appeal to nerdy computer game fans of Super Mario Bros, but Transformers fans...really? :-?

Impactor please Mech iDeas... Impactor! :WRECKERS:

Clearly you are not a TFA fan.
These two come straight out of that continuity.

Done.

People talk bad about Skids and Mudflap. These twins are ten times worse.

Ten times more awsome, you mean. They're EXACTLY what they're supposed to be. It's not like MI pulled the designs from their ass - that's what Animated Huffer and Pipes look like.

And it's a great idea. Learn to have a little fun.

Saying that, I don't collect Animated. But it's great for those who like it. I think MI nailed the Animated style with these guys.

I never watched the animated series. Cartoon accurate maybe, but the Super Mario Bros/Bob the Builder look is not cool in my honest opinion. It takes silliness to a whole new level. Even Bot Shots are more serious.

That may be your opinion, but it's a fact that this is how they look like. It may not be serious, but so what? Let Animated fans enjoy their wares. It looks like a quality product that'll fit into Animated's style.

Well, as a fan of Transformers: Animated... these look pretty damned ridiculous to me. I mean really, Mech Ideas? You knocked it out of the park with the Jumpstarters. Mario Prime and Luigitron? :roll:

Let TFA fans be happy. They're characters from the series that never got toys. Sorry it's not G1.

Wooo!

they're totally stupid, and I'm not keen on them, but then, I'm not an Animated fan. They do seem to be very accurate and look like they'll be a lot of fun. Not for me, but maybe every product in the world doesn't have to appeal to me? :-?

enjoy them guys!

And on the same day Shout Factory announces the complete series DVD set.

Oh Yea

Not my thing, but I'm glad they're still working on stuff.

News Credits: 4 · Sun Feb 02, 2014 3:10 pm

I don't like these one bit. These represent the worse of Animated. These make the terrible HasTak Animated molds look good. After seeing these Two toys,All I gotta say. Is I'm Happy Animated ended years ago.

I, for one, really like this, and I'm happy Mech Ideas still work on them. Also, I'm happy they modified the elbows, which looked pretty bad on the first design. Can't wait for them to get out !

So excited for more Animated, Has/Tak, 3rd party, don't care. Always need more.

News Credits: 2 · Mon Feb 03, 2014 4:15 pm

Ok, I'm all for MechIdeas doing this silly stuff, but could they not do something decent like rack'n'ruin in parallel? I mean a white elephant like this could really damage them. Once the 5 people who have expressed an interest on here have bought them, they are in trouble.
