Fellow Seibertronian ghost_of_bunji has just informed us that he discovered new Transformers Animated figures in Wal-Mart's computer system last night. There might be hope that we'll be getting some of the new figures just yet! Keep your fingers crossed my friends!

Found these last night by accident at work while I was scanning to see if any figs were on order.

Deluxe:
TRA ANIMATED DX RODIMU 65356941980
TRA ARCEE SLEEK CAR 65356937933
TRA ELECTROSTATIC S 65356937934

Voyager:
TRA ANMTD BUMBLEBEE 65356939375
TRA VOYAGER BLACKOU 65356940324
TRA VOYAGER JETPACK 65356940325

There was also a Ratchet and Grimlock listed near those in their respective class lists, but I didn't get a pic since I had no way of knowing if it was the original or the repaint.

I don't think "by accident" is how I would word that. "By chance" would be more appropriate.

Nice find. Let the hunt begin!

Score! I assume this means that the Animated line will continue throughout the movie, right? They wouldn't list these if the line was on hiatus until fall/winter.... ??

Anyway, nice to see Rodimus and Arcee on the horizon, as well as Blackout! Now, how about some leaked images!!!

Where's DAI ATLAS???? :sad:

I bet "Jetpack" is that rumored flying version of OP. He probably gets some sort of jetpack attachment. Remember in "Transwarped" when OP said (paraphrasing:) "I really need to learn how to fly one of these days."

Anyway, Arcee is a must-buy for my, and Blackout is also a must-buy if he looks even half as cool as I expect based on the design.

only one I must have out of the group is the electro static soundwave. He looks good in the soundblaster paint app with the ratbat keytar. But I still want animated constructicons dangit(except that dirtboss, he looks kinda skeery).

by **SJ21** » Tue Mar 24, 2009 1:56 pm

Well, Arcee and Rodimus are must-buys. I am conflicted on Soundwave though. Do I really want to spend the money on a straight-repaint in order to get Ratbat?

RODIMUS!!!!! WOO HOO!

OH YEAH! If this is true it will make my day/month/whatever, I really want an animated Rodimus fig.

Then they just need Springer & Kup and the main movie cast is complete... unless they want another Wheelie, but the Universe one is good enough.

Does Walmart ever get exclusive figures? I know they get exclusive repaints sometimes, like the "Movie" repaints of Cybertron deluxe figures, but I doubt that Walmart would get its own unique new Animated figure.

There are no plans to make toys of them. Same goes for Omega Supreme.

Can't wait to see new pics of Rodimus and Arcee!

EDIT: Jetpack is most likely talking about a new Prime.

by **bagofshhh** » Tue Mar 24, 2009 7:15 pm

I am really hoping that the constructicons still aren't getting any love because some day they are going to combine on the show, and they don't they don't want the toys to be a spoiler. :???:

Although, I am hopeful, but not optimistic. :grin:

Oh hell yes.

Rodimus = me happy...

Yes! Rodimus, Arcee, and Soundblaster are a must buy. If Blackout looks good, then he will be mine, too.

Supports my hypothesis that Goldfire Grimmy and Hydrodive BB were not cancelled, but the wave of just them has been canceled, and replaced with the wave of HBB, GG, Jetpack Prime, and Blackout.
