The more I look at them, the less I like them. The shiny doesn't fit at all. I really prefer the Hasbro versions' flat look. It matches the animation model much better. So far, I think I'm going to pass.

Shiny is often a good way to get my attention, but the one it looks best on is BBee, and the mold is pretty junky, so no thanks. Maybe if Samurai Prowl ends up looking awesome or something.

I'd like to see some really unique repaints, like Ramjet, and a full size Dirge, or a "One with the AllSpark" Samurai Prowl in transparent light blue.

I think I'm satisfied with the Hasbro matte versions of TFA figures I already have; seems to be more toon-accurate to me. However, a shiny Samurai Prowl or "ghost" Prowl in transparent blue would be AWESOME. I also hope they do a leader-class Megs in metallic... that, I'd pick up in a heartbeat.

always knew they were gonna put chrome in the toys. now they're much cooler looking than their hasbro originals.

I'm so happy because this guys ended being less show accurate than the US versions.
That goes specially to you Mr. "Ironhide", NOT show-accurate.
Mmmm...That means: Bulkhead:Ironhide, Ironhide:Armorhide? (That makes sense because of his "armor").

They look neat, but for $50 a pop, that's too much for my wallet.

In the contemporary world of me not having so much cash and a general distaste for dealing with customs, this is just a bit excessive.

It looks nice, but nah, not gonna get it. I never really liked the start of the Animated toyline, and if I have to deal with the unbearable QC again with for figures so expensive... no, just no.

Already got these molds at a far cheaper price. Pass go and keep two hundred bucks.

me to, except for bulk head he sux in all modes "SORRY, MY BAD"

I'll wait for better pics to pass judgement... I've got most of what I wanted from the animated line already, so I can't see myself picking these up, but they certainly have my attention.

I think these figures are going to be the hot item in 2010.

If you care to read some thoughts, check out this blog I wrote about Japan releasing TF Animated at Collecticon.org

I am really looking forward to seeing the packaging. It's been too long Japan, you've been holding out on us!

Nice but what happens when the *other* Ironhide turns up?

[Prowl1529]

Those are very shining but too expensive.
One thing i don't understand, why is Bulckhead more expensive then the others? The picture belongs to the voyager class it's not the leader.

Could just eyeball it and say that BBTS thought that Ironhide would be the most popular so they decided to increase the price a little bit. >_>

Or maybe BBTS thought it was Leader and raised the price. Regardless I feel a sorry for the fans who are going to collect it and having to pay the extra cash.

Assuming Peaugh doesn't get there first, I'll give everyone the lowdown on these guys on the day of release.

[fenrir72]

I wonder how Arcee would look like? oopsie...........too much in advance........

The Megatron earth-mode IMHO would be like the hottest version ever! More likely to go toe to toe with Starconvoy (given the metalized finished to be applied)
