I had brought something of the sorts in another thread when I first got Swoop (the TAV version with the red and black) and with the shoulders and cape and collar I said he looked like a dark wizard. Its really amazing how these figures can be so expressive to the point of crossing over in style and inspirations.

I just bought him because of your post! Thank you WJ! Cool post by the way. He does look like a dark wizard.

I just got animate swoop in TAV deco (anyone want to tell me what the deco is referencing?) and when his neck isnt strechted out, it looks like he has a pointy hood. With the shoulderpads and the wings becoming a cape, he looks a lot like a high priest at the head of an evil cult:

Where is this thread: "Cobotron was talking about Transformer toys which fit a certain character profile."
Thanks

I just found my old post, the figure came out in 2015. And it turns out the words I used were high priest and cult leader (but dark wizard works too):william-james88 wrote:A while back, Cobotron was talking about Transformer toys which fit a certain character profile.

While I agree the vehicle modes suffer, just looking at the crane or tank... you wouldn't immediately guess they were the same figure. This is even further exaggerated with the two robot modes. I really wish they'd revisit the idea of his figure.
I think pretty much everyone wanted Omega Supreme (from the Orion, though).SpikeyTigertron wrote:Sounds like a lot of folks are really familiar with Animated. What would folks most-wanted, non-produced figure? I was dying to see the Omega Supreme from the Ark....

I am surprised there's no mention of Swoop and Grimlock. At least Swoop has a lot of style.
I can't comment on Grimlock since it's one of the few Animated molds I never owned. Swoop's a good figure but definitely has too many flaws to be great; robot head just won't stay on, neutered weapon gimmick, incredibly simple transformation, and not particularly great alt mode.
Blitzwing though, I'll salute. His robot mode is great and full of personality. His artillery mode is unusual-looking, but is solid and unique, and certainly doesn't hint at the jet mode at all. And the jet mode looks great from above; it has a wonky undercarriage, but that's hardly unusual in this franchise, nor is a triple-changer with two good modes and one okay-ish one.

Diem wrote:Surprised that Samurai Prowl and Wingblade Prime aren't on here, given that they're basically two of the figures on this list, but with more stuff.
Other than that I'd have included Swindle for all his fun features and overall solidness and Blitzwing for being the first really accomplished triple-changer in quite some time. Also Arcee if her thumbs weren't so fragile.

I agree. Animated is literally a rich example of an awesome show and awesome toyline that made the show come to life. Nothing has really touched it since
