I've heard that we might see Animated within the next month. Stay tooned!



qwailo-- Heya mate, long time no see! I don't think they're out yet-- I think they were just released in the US-- but I definetly wouldn't rule them out for a UK release.

We have got most TRU exclusives thus far, and the allspark like is hitting the shelves here, so maybe we will?


I might pick up the Wing Saber repaint if they do.

i like one of the two cant remember which one though and i cant be arsed to go find out the name lol. Yeah the bloke at the comic/toy fair i went to the other week said if it had been a month later he would have had some animated for sale so possibly. Having said that a friend who went to a sci fi convention (dr who, marvel tf's etc) in birmingham NIA (or NEC cant remember) took some photo's of some of the animated toys on a stall there, not for sale like, but out on display

I was wondering if anyone knew if the TRU exclusive Jetstorm & Wingblade will be out over here? Or even if they are already!

I passed on them in the Cybertron range but i can't afford to pass on them this time, they look so good!


hmm...i don't know about thosr 2 but if you check in toys r us they might have them in the cybertron line still ingering about. i got cybertron wingsaber from there just about august last year you might have luck finding the cybertron line at TRU then try the one at tteside park in cleveland, you know near middlesbrough (i got a couple of things there...theres almost always atleast one thing interesting there...

Woah now! Let's not get crazy here!

The important thing is, Greed is back! ;)^

Now all that's left is for Roy to rescue Hawkeye, then get someone to bring Hughes back to life, and I can be happy. :mrgreen:

I've now reached Season 8 of Stargate, which I've never seen before. Never seen past Season 7.

Teal'c has hair! ... Stargate is ruined forever! =(

And uh... no Transformers news today.

Shops still have the same old movie junk.

I hope Al is ok. And Greed/Ling rules, I too am glad he is back. :mrgreen: Also that lion-guy, he's pretty cool.

Freaky isnt it? I spent the entire episode shouting that he has hair, I was told to shut up. I think it suits him! Or at least, you soon get used to it. He still says indeed lots.

Change of plan, instead of being Hawkeye for this thing, I wanna try and go as Blackarachnia, Animated version! Well, maybe...

Things are weird though. Jack being in charge is just wrong...

Ah SG1, such a good show. I used to watch it on Channel 4 on Sundays, but they screwed up the schedules and now I have no idea what the hell is going on as I haven't seen it in ages. I remember loving it so much that I did a C+C RA2/SG1 fanfic :oops:

Dissertation is all done, going to take it to the printers in a couple of hours, then going to clean the house and do some more work. Tomorrow I'm going to town to buy robots :D

Now I've got some news that I don't think has been posted before, but it could be regarded as good or bad depending upon how you look at it.

Play.com has the first wave of Animated figures available for pre-order with a release date of July 30th.

Now we all know Play are usually in a world of their own regarding TF release dates so it is possible that we may see them before then, but sometimes they are right so hopefully this time they are wrong.

Even if it does end up being July they'll be out in the US sooner, and at half the price at retail. Even with a little mark up and international shipping you won't end up paying more than UK retail on importing figures once they hit general release in the States. Stop panicing kiddies.

Or as the cover of my favourite book would phrase it (in large freindly letters) DON'T PANIC

I'll get right on it!

Keep updated gang! Images of Animated Blitzwing in bot and jet mode, and a vid review of Octane (for those that can't click on the news sidebar (aka too lazy) :P)

They both look awesome, although Blitz's jet mode looks like it should come off of the base...

Hey hey my fellow ODB's, looks who's back :P

Although I've mentioned this in the Autobot/HMW thread, I thought I'd best post it here as well.

Since my last proper visit here (october last year!) alot's been happening to me in RL, but now thing's are finally returning to normal (along with me buying some more movie related toys :D ) I've decided it was high time I returned to the fold.

Good show old chap :)

Yeah got two - the 20th and the 29th of May - then OMFG UNI R DONE FOREVAR!!!!!

Still a teeny bit freaked about it, but looking forward to having a job and thus more TF money :D

As for the Animated figures, I need to see more of the show before I make up my mind. Is it on youtube?

I also happen to be going to the States at the end of June and will be coming back shortly after 4th July, so if the Animated figures catch my fancy I'll be able to snag 'em just that little bit earlier. Might bring back a few to flog as well :D

Airlift, can't remember you, but I've recently returned as well. Welcome aboard the ODB, yar!

Jesus! 3 months and 111 pages? you spammers. :lol:

Keep forgetting to come back here, but it looks like ill be missing AAas well year, think the missus has booked us a holiday that week.

Ah well... At least I get to avoid that **** hole called Birmingham for yet another year. :lol:


And to stay (alarmingly) on-topic, when the hell is Animated released then? No one seems to know...
