my take on the characters-

rodimus prime:
one of prime's friends that is the leader of a repair crew similar to optimus's.
his personnality is probably like prowl's,and he's sentinel's sentinel(treats sentinel prime the way he treats optimus).
alt.mode:truck with trailer(that is part of the robot mode)

spittor:
he is a transport mech that carries other troops into battle,and when the decepticons need rienforcments,he transforms and attacks(think the at-at from star wars crossed with g1 devestator)

strika:
similar in personality to bulkhead only eviler.
she turns into a stryker vehicle

blackout:
think of lugnut,now make him twice as big,then add all of ultra magnus's weapons(minus the hammer),then make him a loner(and not like lugnut who teams up with the guy that needs a straitjacket)
he turns into a helicopter

Rodimus looks cool.

Spittor look Quintesson-like.

Strika looks exactly like her BM form. When I read the note, I thought it said "No Lipstick". LOL

Anyone else think Blackout looks like BW Waspinator on steroids.

If they keep Blackout's personality similar to the movie character, are they going to have competitions between him and Lugnut as to who can suck up to Megatron the most?

Rodimus looks OKAY, I hope he is named Rodimus Prime, and can be the oppisite od Sentinal. Spittor looks kind of cute, and Strika and Blackout are fat.

Rodimus looks like a fat guy that lost a lot of wieght and now has a boney face with big cheek bones.

This honestly look really cool, I love the interpretation of movie Blackout.

Those look pretty sweet! Hope S3 happens!

Why? Why God? Why did they bring Rodimus into it?

I think lugnut gets reformated into Blackout.

Am I right?

Exactly what I was thinking. I'm sure this is his alt mode and looks very much based on his Cybertronian alt mode from BW:The Gathering. Looks way cool I hope he's a deluxe, it would make a cool little figure and it looks like there are enough voyager sized mechs among the rest.

I was thinking the same thing.

hm, I like these decepticon designs! I'm not a big fan of animated, but maybe I'll catch season 3. Oh, and is Stryka still gonna be a chick? I hope so, cause... well... I can't really think of a reason why, but I hope so.

Derrick Wyatt confirms you both to be correct...

Ugh. I hate leaks. They always have the worst quality images. Not even any color! Oh well. Maybe you can see that Spittor's Cybertronian vehicle form is inspired by Don Figueroa's totally freaking awesome BW comic pre-beast Spittor design. And General Strika! Chalk up another personal Transformers life goal for yours truly!

Cool stuff, blackouts my faouvite and strika was a big surprize, heres thumbs up to Obsidian now that would be somehing else.

I see the pipes on Rodimus' arms are pointing up. Probably means he won't have the arm lasers of the original. After all, the Animated Autobots aren't big on that sort of thing, aren't they?

Take a close look - they used Movie Brawl/Devastator's face for Animated Blackout. Very Weird...

Oh. Really? Wow.....Plafsst. That sound you heard was my mind being blown. Those look great! Rodimus is probably my fave cuz i recognized him first.
