EBay auctions for Transformers Animated Oil Slick and Snarl have appeared on eBay from seller yizhi521. The auctions offer us a glimpse at the figures' packaging art, as well as a look at both Transformers mint in their sealed packages.

Oil Slick

Should put Prowl in his place.

Snarl

Snarl is not snarl if he is not a stegosaurus IMHO. This is Slag and always will be.

Oilslick is a pass, I don’t need a vomit colored toy. :SICK:

Slag, err… “Snarl” I actually think I might be getting. He may go good with the rest of the classics dinobots if we ever get them.

With Animated, I think I’m only getting the figures that look really good or like G1 characters, I really could care less for a lot of these.

Slick

Thanks for the heads up Zeds. Front paged!

I can't wait to get both of these figures. Both look great. But I may wait for a repaint of Oil Slick into a Junkion.

Did I miss something? When did Slag become Snarl? Looks like Hasbro needs to keep track of their trademarks a little better. I had enough name-swapping in armada/energon/cybertron. Kinda smashes my hopes to see all five dinobots in animated.

Is Oil Slick going to be in the show? I'm less interested in him at the moment because I don't know anything about his characterisation.

I'll get Snarl for sure when he comes out. I really like these Dinobots.

It’s confirmed there will only be three Dinobots in animated, Hasbro said they may (just like with Cosmos the first go around) make the other two in Universe.

No, it was said at Botcon he is a non show character, but may be considered for season three if they decide to make one. That is if they decide to make one however.

I hope they do, what with how season 2 ends and everything. (No, I won't post spoilers folks.)

I'd hate to see it go out like that. But I would like them to keep Oil Slick out of the picture...I hate his figure and I'd doubly hate to have to buy him because he's in the show. Blech.

I'll definately be getting Slag when he comes out. Yes, SLAG. I'll call Snarl by that name when we get an Animated Stegosaurus, & Sludge when we get an Aniamted Brachiosaur. If we get all 5 Dinobots in Animated, I'll have a fangasm. Just like I will when we get a real MP Soundwave.

Oilslick is a pick-up as well. This whole line has me excited. That normally doesn't happen for a whole series line, I usually dislike a few if not all designs of the characters. Primary reason I hate Energon & Cybertron.

Snarl is a must buy purchase for me.

But I just don't like Oil Slick, it is either the green coloring or the fishbowl on his head...

This is what Oil Slick is supposed to look like.

Not very appetizing eh? I have a funny feeling that the Headmaster or Sumdac is going to be riding on this guy.

Ugh. I had forgotten how ugly Oil Slick really is.

He's not that impressive in the transformation department either.

Prowl and Movie Arcee are proof that GREAT motorcycle figures can be made.
