These he states come directly from the new Transformer Collectors club magazine, this issue is as we know supposed to come with character bios for the Transformers Animated cast.
Beware SPOILERS!
Read it by clicking here or just by scrolling down:
RODIMUS PRIME - CAVALIER
On the way "to becoming Magnus."
IRONHIDE - SECURITY
Good-natured countrybot.
(already fully previewed at the club site, I know)
RED ALERT - FIELD MEDIC
Her design takes some cues from her Armada namesake, esp. her left-hand module.
HOT SHOT - PYROTECHNICS
Armada look, Energon colors works well. Speedy but inexperienced.
BRAWN - DEMOLITIONS
Smaller'n 'Bee, stronger'n Bulky.
STRIKA - GENERAL OF DESTRUCTION
Pretty much the BM version in new colors.
...and LUGNUT's consort. O.O
CYCLONUS - SABOTEUR
...sounds a little like Dead End in the body of ol' rabbitears.
BLACKOUT - SHOCK AND AWE
Gigantic living legend. A number of Omega Sentinels aren't alive to spread his tale...
(...do they talk in THIS universe, who knows...)
SPITTOR - WASTE DISPOSAL
Walking trashpile. Eats you or turns you into a loogiemissile.
OIL SLICK - CHEMICAL WARFARE
...ooch. Created/uses weaponized Cosmic Rust.

Now I see what the point of this toon is. Make the ultimate TF toon by combining every single aspect of every single TF incarnation, EVER.
I only have one word for TFA season 3.
I. am. Psyched.
LOL, Lugnut married....
Wait, How do they.........
.....I'll just leave that to the perverts on deviantart.

looks like roddy is still more successful than prime at becoming leader.
no comment on strika.i've never heard of her.
i also think that bumblebee is gonna laugh a brawn's size,then brawn will punch bumblebee and send him flying through the air.
and blackout is probably the decepticon version of omega supreme
and they NEED to put in bw depthcharge and rampage

He looks like an animated version of his Movie self just with an animated Bonecrusher head.

Hopefully season 3 wont have so many damn humans. And i hope they do Cyclonus well. Also glad that they decoded to bring in Oil Slick. Surprised they didnt hold off on the toy until season 3 came out.
Hasbro don't have the rights to Hot Rod. So they use Rodimus.

I don't think that's what he means. Something like 'Autobot Hot Rod' would be better. The official name could be that, and they'd be able to refer to him as 'Hot Rod' in the show.

These is just information of characters that had no bio for season1 and 2.
But he'll be there.

I personally prefer Rodimus. Wasn't the G1 character's name "Hot Rodimus" in Japan? I tend to think of Rodimus as being that only without "hot" at the beginning.

One line of info on each and I'm hooked. Well apart from Ironhide. He looks like G1 Ironhide but I get an Energon Ironhide vibe for his character. Not a fan of his wimpy voice either. How come the Movie, Energon and Animated all make slag of their Ironhide characters?
Looking forward to seeing Animated's portrayal of my favourite Prime, Rodimus. Though I still prefer having the Prime as overall Autobot leader as is traditionally done in TF.
Love the show overall but am disappointed with how they portarayed Soundwave and Ironhide. Still, keep the crap human villains to a minimum and we should be good. Actually like Sari, Sumdac and Fanzone.
One question? Is Dirge the name of the female seeker?

This blackout pic was leaked with rodimus and stryka - so from that I'd say it's confirmed. The coloring was just me having fun - who knows what they'll do in the show -- although the Movie coloring would seem boring in such a vibrant cartoon. Hence my colorization...

Well, looking at the pic in the club mag, his official colors ARE more muted, and the red highlights are on his shoulders rather than below.

I blame Marty Isenberg. I hope they put Obsidian in too, since they're doing Strika. But... I doubt it. I was never into the whole Fembot thing but if they do much more than Arcee and Dirge... eh... Great...
OMG u r rite red alert is a guy and should always be a guy what is hasbro thinking!!!

I'd say the blame for that goes all the way back to G1.

NO, we will not be posting scans of the club magazine on the website. The club has specifically asked us not to, and it only makes sense, because the paying members should be allowed the information first--it is part of why they pay for the club.

And Blackout sounds like the Decepticon equivalent to Omega Supreme. And yet, everyone thought it would be Trypticon.

Ironhide was in season 1, 2 already, albeit briefly.
I like the idea of Brawn, one of my favorite G1 characters!!! And Rodimus has a bow!!! Cool stuff.

Even my girlfriend is getting into TF:A, which is awesome in that it allows me to share my TF passion with her.
Definitely looking forward to Oilslick too. I'm going to pick up TFA: The Arrival TPB when it comes out just to see his introduction. I wonder if they'll repeat or rewrite his introduction in the cartoon.

Well, seeing as Rodimus is a Prime, I'm betting on "Ultra Prime"...or, y'know, Thor...(thats a joke).
