Soundwave is just... so... perfect! I seriously can't wait, and being a passionate musician just makes him a perfect fit for me. His vehicle mode looks like his G1 alternate on wheels, down to the symbols and cassette-esque side doors. His proportions in robot mode may be strange, but they are appropriate for animated. I love it. I'm looking forward to this toy more than any other coming out this year. Seriously. I'd even be willing to get him on eBay for 10x the price if it meant getting him early. Awe mannn I don't know what wave 1 looks like, but I really hope he is a part of itttt.

Love the way they handled Soundwave, he rocks! They got the tape-deck buttons on his front grill and the tape designs on his arms. I'm loving the Animated stuff more than Universe/Classics, mainly because it's so different.

Weapon: Concussion Blaster Gun
It's it's a weird feeling--
I'm actually more excited about the Animated stuff than the Classics.
Although I will mos def get Galvatron, Onslaught, Tankor, Prowl, and Sunstreaker.
Everything else was very MEH for me.
It's very bad-funny that I've been debating about the Botcon Seekers lately,
and in the Universe line we get TWO repainted old molds...
I promise I won't say anything else about that.

The new Robot Heroes were a big disappointment for me.

Most all of the Animated figs look AMAZING!!!!
Can't wait to see them on shelves.





By the way, where were the pix of GRIMLOCK?

I saw snarl and got excited to see I'd get to see grimlock and swoop, but to my disappointment nothing. snarl looks good but it looks like something smashed his head in.

WOW! The MarvelFormers are actually look good! Can't wait to see how they screw them up. Heck, just change the heads on them and they'ld make good repaint fodder. Jazz I'm not too keen on not having a gun. I'll be looking forward to the Universe/BotCon version.

GALVATRON!!!!!!! Hell yeah thats sweet. After seeing that i was in awe but then i seen animated Soundwave and i almost cried. What have they done to Soundwave. That thing is pure crap. Poor Poor Soundwave what have they done to you. Pleas for the love of god dont make a new Hot Rod. I dont think i could deal with my 2 most favorite TFs getting this horrid animation treatment. But with that said i like the idea of the crossovers. The Ironman one looks great. Looks like ill be broke again come fall.

theres lots of stuff to get excited over and lots to not (classics legends). These shots give a good idea of what to expect but the majority of the toys are painted mock ups so it will be a while before we see the final product. the little movies on youtube have somebody showing roll out prime and saying its a prototype for eg.

Yeah, I can see them actualy blending real easily into a TF collection. I think not having a source alt to go off of is a help too.

I look forward to seeing how the Marvel end of this line developes.

As for the Star Wars end, HASBRO, IT"S BEEN DONE TO DEATH!!! And to the retailers, put them on sale at least once, and I bet you'll finaly sell some, otherwise get ready for years of repackaged back stock!

I'll say it again Galvatron is just freaking sweet. I will be buying him no question. God it's so great to see a Galvatron figure that's not just a Megatron repaint. and forgive me for sounding stupid but has there been a release date set for Universe?

Galvatron seems to have the same basic transformation scheme as classics two-pack Megatron, but he wears it better. Looks like he lost knee articulation, but gained some in the arms. I also really like his likeness and expression. Definitely Galvatron indeed.

Oilslick might be the ugliest (non-movie) sunuvabidch I've ever seen transform. Even his bikemode is killed by the greens. Waiting for a possible repaint, maybe with a new head.

Animated Leader class Megatron is magnificent... But with two twinblades AND a bfg, I have to wonder if he's compensating for something. :lol:

Soundwave really appeals to me, even though his head looks so funny... But the design just works. I like all the nods to his tapedeck origin, as well as Lazerbeak apparently being a triplechanger. (Guitar, Bird, crossbow).

Why the heck is Bulkhead doing Galactus cosplay ?

The Marvelformers don't look as bad as I expected. Iron Man actually works. (Obviously, if one was going to work, it had to be him)

I'm a little worried about oversaturation, especially regarding the animated line. That's really a LOT of product.

Amazed at everything. Loving some of the Animated stuff.

Black Arachnia, Slag. Prime, and definitely earth mode Megatron.

The Marvel crossovers are so cool. definitely gonna have to pick up Iron-Man.

Universe is amazing.Galvatron must have.

Gonna have to start making a list of what I want. There's so much.

Is not his head, its Headmaster. He's supposed to be a villain from the show that controls the autobots by placing those helmets on them.

I guess the toy actually transforms into the head.
