Hang on, does this mean all those of us who like Animated can now go round rubbing it in the faces of all the people who've been saying "It's a crap line, so I'm glad it's cancelled"?

I saw a 4 or 5 year old little boy buying a Transformer toy at Target the other day. He had all the Universe toys laid out next to each other. He was looking at every little detail. The bio, the stats, the level of conversion. This little boy was choosing a figure like if he was buying stock. His parents told he could pick one so he can take his time. So he did. At the end, he chose Tankor/Octane. Pretty big decision.

While he was looking at which figure to get, the mom looked at the Animated figures and was like "What the hell is this?! These don't look good at all. I don't like these. They don't look like THESE Transformers."

Chill dude. Didn't mean you. Just that I've seen a lot of the rabid Animated haters being... well, dicks about it.

They'd better not, What am I going to collect until the movie figures come out since we won't get the 25th anniversery figures until 2011 like with 20th anniversery prime. My belief in hasbro uk had almost came back and now they're thinking about doing this, I still need Shockwave and swoop.

That reminds me. Must see if it's too late to stop the Post Office delivering that turd in a box to Hasbro.

I never liked Animated enough anyway. The toys are cheaply made. I'm never going to purchase another Animated figure again. In fact, my entire Animated collection is going to be up for sale pretty soon.

I know that. But it still looks ****, especially wen compared to the freaking awesome concept image we saw last year. I mean I like Oktane but that won't take away from the fact that it's a **** looking toy.

I like Universe, I like Animated, but I still think Octane is a **** looking toy just like Animated Supreme Prime.

I crashed Computron? Good I always thought he was a stupid concept anyway, the only thing that makes me not hate him is the fact that Grimlock made him.

Oh Electron, if you ever post a comment about me like that again...... :twisted:

You're so right. Octankor is just a perfect one to throw in the face of anyone who insists Classics/Universe is some sort of Master Race line of TFs crushing Animated underfoot. I find my Animated stuff so much fun to play with, whilst Octane lies almost forgotten under a pile of stuff. Every so often I find him and think "Huh, almost forgot I had this." Then I play with it for a couple of minutes and bury it again.
