Yes, i before hated this animated line but i then grew on it, simply because in wikipedia.com, it said that jazz might be in the series as well (he's second in command! ) And the grimlock prototype looks awesome

What? You mean Transformers fan are sometimes quick to judge?

That they hate something that isn't obviously G1-influenced at first glance?

That if it looks "different" it must obviously be bad?

I remember telling fans, when the first pic of Animated Prime leaked, to just wait and not to be quick to judge. Most people hated Beast Wars and the movie designs at first but grew to love them and *surprise surprise* the same thing is happening now with Animated.

Hasbro probably laughs at us whenever we freak out over new stuff that they know we'll come to love eventually.

(The show, I'm sure, will be outstanding.)

I will not be a completionist for this though. After seeing Bumblebee and Starscream, I just don't like the look of the head sculpts. It's too much of a break from what I've collected over the past 4-5 years.

These figures are for a different audiance and are going a direction I don't think I want to go.

That's cool.

I'm just going to sit this one out though.

I couldn't have said it any better myself CP. After all this time I still don't have any interest in the toys either. I am having a hard time digesting their very toon look. I suspect the cartoon will kick some serious butt and be very entertaining which suits me just fine. I miss having a truly entertaining TF toon to watch. I'll have to see the toys up close before I can make any final judgement on them. In my experience pics have never done TF's justice as much as seeing the real thing.
