Hasbro releases new Animated Toy details

And there you have it: LEADER CLASS ULTRA MAGNUS.

Some new Animated figures include:
- Supreme Class Optimus Prime,-cool, but why? Optimus is like the second tallest Autobot in the show, so why would he tower over Bulkhead and Megatron?
- Leader Class Bulkhead, Megatron and Ultra Magnus,-Very cool
- Power Bots Cyber Speed Bumblebee (similar to Cyber Stompers)-GodDAMN, dear Primus, I hope they come to their senses, I can't tell you how many times I have gone to the store and seen these peces of shit clogging the shelves.

As well as non action figure items such as an Optimus Prime Blaster and a Transforming handheld Video game.-cool.

Overall, it sounds pretty good.

I just hope UM will look okay…

Regardless though, I don’t see this line taking off, there’s just too much going against it.

Hmm. I have truly forgotten here (and most likely wrong) but I don't think we've actually seen anything about a Leader Class Earth Mode Optimus Prime...

Voyager? Yes.
Deluxe? Yes.

Maybe they are trying to go for scale this time?

Bumblebee, Prowl, Ratchet: Deluxe
Optimus Prime: Voyager
Bulkhead: Leader

Granted, yes...there are other sizes of the same figures (most likely so they can cover all the sales bases) but it almost seems like they're trying to work with a scale this time.

I'm just glad we're getting them. It took them forever to grow on me, and now I'm becoming impatient. lol

I wonder if Ultra Magnus can deal with that new size class of his

Seriously though I can't wait to get him. First time he isn't a white repaint, It's cause for celebration!

Leader Bulkhead also sounds good, The voyager class didn't interest me at all.

supreme class prime transformers on his own?!?!?! SWEET!

Hopefully UM will have a completely different mold.

No doubt... I really think it will be new.

Still no official word on Omega Supreme though.

(If you've seen the first couple episodes, you know he has to show eventually.)

wait i've seen every episode but apparently i've been completely oblivious to any mention of omega supreme..can you elaborate?

Really? I've seen all the episodes so far, and nowhere did I see anything that might suggest an Omega Supreme.

Still I'm looking forward to UM.

From what we know he is gong to be a different mold to that of Prime. Since he is a different character in th show not just a Hasbor repaint for the toy line.

If it will be similar to the sketches I saw... it will be the best figure of this line.

Supreme class Optimus: He can transform on his own... For the extra-lazy kids.

Blasters and such: Why, Hasbro, WHY??? They should be confronted on how many of those warm the shelves here.

Well other than the power bot things I'm realy looking forward to this line, and Ultra Magnus a different mold...YES!!!!

Wouldn't mind seeing a completed Ultra Magnus.

the supreme OP is probably more of a 'side' toy rather than being the definitive version of him, which is most likely the voyager toy. Its rather like the ultimate movie bumblebee, nobody would buy him and say 'why is BB bigger than megatron?'

If these are any indicator, then yeah, UM's gonna have a new mold...



...and I, for one, can't wait.

I had some reasons, but I forgot them all besides a handful, I think a couple were:

-Toys that come out six months after the show started airing
-Too much product
-Movie line and Universe may compete with it
-Possible overstock depending on if retailers order tons of stock thinking it will sell like the movie figures instead of the usual line

Among other reasons.

Also a little off-topic, but I think you or someone else said one time that you like animated for one reason that the toys are simple. Well I got Stockade yesterday and his transformation was very simple and his face looks somewhat like that of Wheeljack’s rather than the usual movie figure. Just thought I would suggest him to you if you like simple TFs.
