Rumour: Animated Toys to be released Mid 2008? Stealth Bumblebee and More.

Postby i_amtrunks » Wed Nov 28, 2007 4:52 pm

Some bad news for those looking forward to the upcoming Transformers: Animated Toyline.

According to a <a href="http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=158356" target="_blank">TFW2005</a> member who has received his December/January Collectors Club Magazine, the Animated Toyline will not be appearing on shelves around February or March, but instead will be appearing around June 2008, with a full Release by August 2008. No reasons as to why are given.

From the same source, the rumoured "Stealth Bumblebee" looks like he will be getting a release, with an inverted colour scheme (black with yellow stripes) and will also feature his Battle Mask as a new head.

Finally the 4th Club Exclusive figure has been announced: Topspin will be a redeco of the helicopter mold from the Energon Bruticus Maximus team.

It's only cool if it means more new molds than just Landmine, Incinerator and Stockade. Because repaints are mehhhh (especially the movie ones).

If this rumor is true, I wonder if that would delay the arrival of the Classics 2.0/Universe line. 2 new lines being released just a few months apart seems less likely than one being released in the Spring and the other in the Fall.

Yeah me too.

What'll really suck is if in the meantime I get tempted by some of these lousy repaints that I promised myself I wouldn't waste my money on.

I can see why a delay would seem somewhat logical. Perhaps Hasbro wants to see how well the new series is received by fans and those new to the series before committing to mass production of it's product. yeah I know there are collectors who will buy them, and that transformers is a hot product, but if the series sucks it will effect sales.
