I posted it for ya RD..

Nice images, I really like seeing DL Blaster... but is that TWO of them? Perhaps one will have more memory than the other? (Badass....)

The other is the box art, LOL

Oh ****... that means DL Blaster is HUGE!

I'm saying 6-7 inches at best. Using the Disney label guys as a scale that is. Those guys are pretty small.

Yeah.. I guess when I said huge, it's all just relative. DL Blaster should probably be deluxe sized.

Looks good to me, but Blaster is going to be a usb hub, so it won't have any memeory. Only DLs with memory are Ravage, Tigatron, & Cheetor.

Wish we were getting a look at Alternity Starscream. Blaster looks pretty cool though.

And the fangirls screamed.

Mommy, I want THAT one!

Wow, this stuff looks sweet!! Those metallic Animated figures are pretty nifty, even if they arn't show accurate. And Blaster DOES look gigantic, never realized he would be that size. Probably should have judging from the size of the USB ports, but still. I wonder if I could pick up one of those Mickeys at Botcon? Sure would be cool to bring one home from there since it is Disney World.

Based on the packaging for the Dev set, I wonder if one could infer that HASBRO may do that set as well, what with it being ready made and all.

Hey, I just realized if Cheetor didn't have all those spots on him, he'd make a pretty good Steeljaw to go with Blaster. Great, now I'm gonna have to buy him and some spot remover. :roll:

I always love seeing DL Blaster. I cannot wait for him and Cheetor.

Anyone have any idea how much Blaster will be?

Why is there a new delux TFA Megatron?

News Credits: 241 · by **Jelze Bunnycat** » Sun Feb 07, 2010 3:37 pm

Device Label Broadcast will retail for roughly 5,500 Yen, about $55, in Japan. Expect a little more than that. And that Megatron is the Cybertron Mode Voyager. Compare the Deluxe:

with the Voyager:

Wow, Blaster looks pretty great. Too bad I don't really collect Blasters. I don't want to start now though, too expensive.

Hasbro Animated > Takara Animated

What they heck were they thinking with the paint apps on Starscream? :BOOM:

Man that Clear Burning Fallen puts the Orange one to shame! I really wanted that orange one but its hard to want it when there is such a superior looking one. I am not familiar with BotCon at all but i might go this year...would that clear fallen be there for sale?

News Credits: 402 · by **Mkall** » Sun Feb 07, 2010 6:50 pm

Nearly any Transforer can be found at Botcon, so yeah I'm sure you could find one of those there for sale in the dealer room.

Your best bet would be to wait for BBTS or Robot Kingdom to pick up a few for resale, although the prices have been rather high on the WonderFest figs in the past.

Holy ****, Blaster rocks!

Adorable. Absolutely adorable.

Awesome. But this picture did something unexpected.... ROTF Optimus is now my favorite Optimus of all time (in terms of design), and my favorite TF, period. I still love Animated as a whole, and Optimus is included, but seeing them side by side...ROTF Prime wins.

I must say, I'm totally shocked here. I was expecting a supremely show accurate color scheme for 'Screamer here. I'm not negative, nor positive towards it, just shocked.

Okay, Disney Label has impressed me with Donald. Almost considering buying one...

TakaraTomy's Animated packaging is just awesome. I love it. It's a shame that Hasbro won't do two packs like TakTom does.

I agree in a sense, I don't like Starscream colors (I'm not shocked I just don't like his color scheme). By the way I mentioned this forum post on my blog: Transformer showcase at the Tokyo Winter Festival.
