Waspinator, Wreckgar, Blurr, and Swindle! If this rumor is true, it is certainly interesting news!

Seeing as how we had not known about Swindle, Skywarp, or Waspinator, I thought this might be interesting.

It sure would be nice if we had more details to confirm this, but at time it is simply a rumor, but fun to comtemplate nonetheless!

:grin:

Skywarp = Starscream repaint

Wow, this is something new to think about! Oh, how much am I gonna spend on Animated in the end??? #-o

News Credits: 2 · Wed Mar 19, 2008 6:51 pm

YES! New Skywarp! I am SO happy!

Animated Skywarp! I can't wait to see the colours!

Wed Mar 19, 2008 6:52 pm

Skywarp is gunna be sweet :grin:

YES! I heard a rumor Waspinator might be in animated, I just hope 3 things for his show apperance:
1.Scott McNeil voices him
2.Waspy refers to himself in the 3rd person
3.He's Animated's new punching bag(current one is Tutor Bot)
I was also hoping they would make a Wreck-Gar toy. I wonder if Swindle will be a G1 homage in either looks, personality/bio, or both.

I hope this is true it would be cool! I like the inclusion of characters from other series (waspinator)! Wreck Gar, Skywarp! boy i hope so!

Save me from painting a Screamer! Awesome news. :APPLAUSE:

Wed Mar 19, 2008 7:40 pm

Yay!
More BW characters!
Not too excited for Skywarp.
Probably just another generic Screamer repaint.
But Swindle Blurr AND Wreck-Gar??!!??

I'm serious, this is the best thing to happen to TF since RID.

I'd love for Waspinator to be a disembodied spark floating around that possesses Animated Starscream...

News Credits: 387 · Wed Mar 19, 2008 7:58 pm

Wuh? Huh? Wah? Waspinator? I saw the others coming a mile away, but not Waspinator. As much as I hate animated I have to say I love that they’re bringing back some of the seemingly forgotten characters like old Waspinator, even if he‘ll look horrible.

Wed Mar 19, 2008 8:10 pm

Ahhh! Animated just keeps getting better and better :mrgreen:

Wed Mar 19, 2008 8:25 pm

Yay, Waspy!

News Credits: 462 · Wed Mar 19, 2008 8:31 pm

Ya know, Blurr could be a Jazz repaint/remold.

You and me both, Tekka. :grin:

These are all awesome choices to add to Animated.
And, hey, look, Wreckgar will be a voyager. That's cool. Garbage trucks are big, so that's appropriate. Just hope he's not a short and bulky voyager like Bulkhead.

Awesome news!

Can't wait to see these and today I got my hasbro catalog with transformers animated figures in it so that must mean we are close to some sort of release and our wallet feeling the strain again.

Sadly unlikely. Scott did an interview a short while ago, in which he said he was already aware that Waspinator would be in the show but that he had not been contacted to reprise the role.

Skywarp? Great. as in painted in red/white/blue

News Credits: 2 · Thu Mar 20, 2008 12:29 am

Exciting news...IF IT'S TRUE. Don't get too excited yet. It looks legit, but let's hold off the joygasms until we confirmation. I'd wager confirmation would come at BotCon...

that would more likely be a thundercracker repaint, seeing as how screamer right now is in TC colors.

What makes you think that only SS and TC have to swap colors?

I'm exited for Whaspy, man this line gets better and better!

Thu Mar 20, 2008 11:13 am

An Animated Skywarp? Nice! Seeing how he didn't make it into the movie line, it figures Animated Starscream would get repainted into him. I guess this means no Animated Thundercracker? And I can't wait to see what Waspinator looks like. Should be cool.

I'm going to be so broke by the end of the year.

I just hope there's plenty of black on him. I didn't like the purple block of Cybertron Skywarp, and I could do without another bright white Skywarp, I have Machine Wars Skywarp for that.
