Transformers News: New Transformers Animated Safeguard Pic

Thanks to our friends over at TF08 we have our first peek at Transformers Animated Jetfire and Jetstorm combined into Safeguard.

In this picture you can clearly see that big hands are molded into "arms" of Safeguard. While we do get a little peace of mind about the combined forms hands, we still don't have any pictures of the individual figures hands.

Check out the original link here

The color scheme is absolutely horrible.

Hasbro - do I need to buy you a color wheel for Christmas?

I'll get him. I like the gimmick, and it looks not horrible... :D

How is that even possible from the same company , they make an awesome Wreck-Gar and now they make this , how do they even compare ???

these 2 still look weird to me. I'm getting to like the comic images we've seen so far. Heaps of personality. But the double headsculpt seen here looks rather sober in comparison.

I'm withholding full judgement till we see them/it properly transformed, but at this point, it looks like ass and fail.

Still looks crap to me. Nice idea, bad realization. It reminds me of a girl i once dated...bad times.

Um.... As with toys, you always have the option to, uh...NOT date them.

Anyway, I'm warming to the concept on this guy. Just hoping that the kibble gets taken care of or at least made to look like actual wings. Interesting idea, nonetheless, and I'll buy it just for the fact that there's nothing like it.

This looks like a design that was conceived by a 5-year-old.

Ahh, starting to look better now that we can see he has hands in combined mode. Can someone please transform him properly please, obviously something is not right with the four limbs sticking out behind.

Love the concept of the split-down-the-middle combiner though, quite a clever bit of engineering there.

Anyway, if he has hands in the individual robot modes too I'll pick him up.

That's not Safeguard, that's Inhumanoids' Magnacore. GO back to the bowels of the Earth and babysit Metlar, you misbegotten gestalt of crap.

If they improve the jet modes the constituent figures might be worthwhile.

Still think it looks like garbage. Glad I cancelled my preorder. To those that like him, enjoy.

It still looks like a piece of shite.

Hasbro don't release this please.

I kind of like this, It's the lovable monster. He's ugly but you can't help but feel sorry for it. I'll get one just because I can't bear to see the poor thing alone and unloved on a toy stores shelf.

He dopes have molded fists. not bad. They'd probably look a little better in black or at least gray.

If I find him I may pick him up, if only because he's a novel idea.

I hope the molded fists actually have a peg hole in them to hold some kind of weapon.

Ah, my petit biscuit... you have much to learn in the ways of women (read with outrageous French accent)

Are we sure this is even Safegaurd?
...maybe Octopunch? ...or Tentakil? :P

It's a big improvement from the mistransformed initial pics. The molded hands are ok, but they could have done better since he's a combiner. But I'd still want to see their individual hands.

Dang, someone beat me to the punch! I guess I can always say: Choujinki Metalder and Ryan of VR Troopers :P

Speaking of which... did you guys know Saban originally intended to adapt only Metalder into a show called "Cybertron"? No kidding folks:

Cybertron pilot

Far fetched for an homage, but still...

I see the hate, yet I cannot help but feel once comics & cartoon episodes with the characters in action pump out, and a non-mistransformation pic show up (or, heck, not) that later many will want.

Just judging by the trends.

And I still dig it. :grin:

Yikes! Looks like a lost episode of Power Rangers.

Before Tommy became the Evil Green Ranger, then the Good Green Ranger, then the White Ranger, and further more the Red Ranger. (Did I miss a color?) He was the red and blue Bionic Ranger, with equally lame vehicles, and powers, and the silly side kick duo. Jamie Kennedy really scraped the bottom of the acting gig pit with that one.

As for "Tommy" I guess he was destined to be in one of these lame shows.

Back to Safegaurd. He is kind of growing on me, though I'll need to see more pics before I commit myself.

Still not overly impressed, and Safeguard still looks too cluttered and untidy as a figure.

Will need many more pics before a final decision is made.

Yikes. Its a shame, too, 'cause with a decent paint-job (say, primarily white, bit of black and blue/ red highlights) these toys could have worked. :sad:

I'm gonna wait till peaugh does a review on that one... Too bad! The idea was so cool but the toy doesn't look so cool at all. :-( I guess Ill just wait and see.
Re: New Transformers Animated Safeguard Pic (819238)
Posted by djcharters on October 21st, 2008 @ 11:14pm CDT
it may just be mee but the two colours clash. kind of reminds of of what two of what you would get if you combine two of the same energon molds together (example...energon downshift and universe down shift). neither of the bots almost inspire the title jetfire. i was so looking forward to these. the kind of look like KO's. two figures that accidentally combine!

Posted by NOS on October 22nd, 2008 @ 2:05am CDT
MECHASHIVA!!!

I don't know...I like the concept and the figure doesn't look TOO bad... I might have to wait for hasbro to repaint them before I pick up a set though.

Posted by Hero on October 22nd, 2008 @ 3:39am CDT
Good god. Really? I think the gimmick is cool but the colors don't even compliment one another. This is one time where I just don't see how anyone could find it appealing.
