I would love to see this theme continued!
Powered Convoy from Ultra magnus
Slipstream from Starscream (New head)
Clones also from Starscream
Wasp from Bumblebee (New Head)
Tapout, Bumper,Glyph, Volks, Furao, Hubcap, Rapier, etc also from a Bumblebee type (or similar body types)
Paradron Medic from Arcee
Yoketron from Samurai Prowl
Spinster from Blackout
So there is still many options what do think still room for more animated?

I guess having the seekers as exclusives is better than having them not released at all. Although if I get my hands on a couple of Screamers before Con '12, I could just kitbash them into Ramjet and TC. =3

I am always game for more Animated. Those are awesome suggestions and would love to have any or all of them in my collection.

I doubt we'll get an Animated box set. I wouldn't be surprised if we got one or two Animated exclusives, but that's it. Honestly, I can see us getting RID exclusives. We already have Sideburn and Skybyte. I doubt Hasbro is going to release a Scourge from the G2 RTS Prime mold. Wonder what other molds could be used though...

I doubt they'll do Animated repaints again. I think the 2012 con-exclusives will be repaints of Generations figures.

I'd personally like to see them give Machine Wars some love (using the Generations figures, of course). It's like Hasbro refuses to acknowledge that Machine Wars ever existed. It'd also be cool if we could get actual Transtech figures...but I don't see how that'd be possible since no current figures even remotely look like they have the Transtech aesthetic.

Oh well, here's hoping for Machine Wars!

So, I agree with some respondents that we won't get another Animated box set, but there's still the possibility of having Animated represented by the other 'Con exclusives (two-packs).

I'd like to see a Voyager Thundercracker, but what about a Cy-Kill using Prowl or Oil Slick?

Or finally issuing the repainted Swindle that can be seen on back of the TRU exclusives?

I'd rather see HftD Wreck-Gar repainted as Cy-Kill!

Man, I would really like to see a Grandus and DUGbase, but the only thing remotely close is Leader Bulkhead with new head, and plenty of paint, maybe some new gear to add on to hom for alt mode.
