He shall be mine with all of those special gimmicks and the awesome looking design.

- The elite commander character changes expressions as he talks with electronic lights, sounds and speech.
- Aim the spring-loaded, expanding mass hammer at the enemy, along with flip-up heavy cannons and hidden weapons.
- Change into vehicle mode for flip-out machine cannons and weapon power-up sounds!
- Includes 2 “AA” batteries."

This is totally awesome!

He does look pretty fun, so he's on the list

He DOES look good, but I'm not sure I can deal with him right now.

So getting Ultra Magnus from TFA because of how kickass he is in the show. Sentinel may have been abosolutley clueless at finding earth vehicles to take the form of for Magnus, but it just makes him look cooler IMO.

lol, nice!
anyways, whats with all the animated toys haveing wampum melee weapons. come on, he's armed to the gills with missles and ****, what's the need for the whack-a-mole hammer he carries?

News Credits: 5 · Mon May 26, 2008 10:30 am

Maybe he's sick of things not opening, so now he's got a wildman hammer to smite fools and recalcitrant deus ex machinas with.

Not strictly a melee weapon since it shoots lightning in the toon, plus I've seen it as a kind of symbol of office ever since his first appearance, although there's nothing canon that I'm aware of to suggest such a thing.

he uses it as a gavel. i heard his new nickname is judge joe brown.
"case closed bitch!"

now THAT is just cool, now if someone could tell those guys at hasbro that there are people actualy OUTSIDE the englisch speaking world that actualy like animated and would actualy consider buying the toys..... :sad:

Mon May 26, 2008 11:54 am

NOW THAT IS COOL
shame him and jazz was only in like 2 episodes

(i couldn't care less about sentinal)

but he is a defo buy, anyone now what wave hes in?
and if he'll be the same size as movie prime?

Mon May 26, 2008 12:10 pm

i guess this settles it, im putting a halt to buying anymore G1 alltogether. animated looks to be my favorite line right now...ultra magnus just put the nail in the coffin

News Credits: 4 · Mon May 26, 2008 12:58 pm

I wonder if it will happen again and later Takara Tomy releases all the Animated figures with better quality, look and chromed

.

Anyway, they all look excelent, I'm enjoying both the cartoon and the respective toys. But because I only collect G1 and their Masterpieces and can't afford every line I'll only buy Soundwave because he's my favorite G1 character and looks awesome in the Animated as well. But I have to say that I wish I'd buy a lot of the other Animated figures, like Bulkhead, Starscream, Grimlock, Bumblebee, Prowl, oh man, almost every one of them!

Love this figure with a passion like most will on these boards. Well proportioned and Leader Class? I thought that he would be Supreme Class. The US is so lucky for getting this buy so cheap too!

Mon May 26, 2008 1:47 pm

Yes.

Mon May 26, 2008 1:57 pm

i am not getting him.
he is very cool,but he is just to expensive.
not to mention that i have practically no shelf space left.

Mon May 26, 2008 3:13 pm

Must. Have. This. Figure. NOW! I'm a grown man, but I would probably play with this toy, he's ready to smack Megatron down with some Mjolnir lightning action...

Wow. That looks freaking AWESOME. This will probably be one of the few Animated toys I buy(trying to think where I'll put him though, considering I'll also need room for the Classics!).

I just LOVE the bulkiness of him; it just looks so.... cool.

Watch the show, specifically the "Elite Guard" episode and you'll understand the lightning hammer reference.

Oh, I'm so getting this.

I try to avoid Leader-class these days unless they're on clearance, but I've already preordered Megatron, and will preorder this at the first opportunity.
