TCC #17 Cover Revealed w/ TF: Animated Decepticons!

Is it me, or does Starscream seem blue/purplish?

Is it me, or do they all look stupid-toonish?

I for one, like it, although....BLitzwing is a freaking small, I expected him to be a bit bigger....

I don't know if the pics are size coordinated. I like them all...10 dollars says Blitzwing has a German accent though; he reminds me of a WW2 German tank commander. I like the look too...it's a refrreshing change from that anime styled stuff. I still think the little girl is some kind of evil freakish-looking mutant though...

Megatron's head...you can actually see the G1 influences there...neat.

Who is the guy w/ the hook again?

Captain James Hook I believe.

The guy with the hook is a new character that for the life of me, I cannot remember his name right now.

I'm getting excited for the animated series and the toys. I hope it ends up being as cool as the designs, VAs, and others make it seem.

a lot of people said this about the tf movie line which I adored: "Looks like I'm gonna save some money by not buying these".

actually, my moneys going to finish collecting the tfmovie line, damn ebayers buy all of targets stock.

BA seems to have a similar color scheme as prowl.

And the hook dude is Lockdown I think.

This style is still going to have to grow on me... right now I just keep laughing at it. The characters seem to range between cool looking and really stupid silly looking. Though, I guess if the story is awesome enough I'll learn to love it for what it is. I'm staying open minded, but am snickering behind my hands..

The animated style reminds me a lot of G1 for some reason,
can't put my finger on it.

Also I'm disappointed by the lack of soundwave.

I really like Megatron, Black Arachnia and Blitzwing.

Starscream's chin puts me off him, and I'm not sure what to make of Lockdown or Lugnutz yet.

I love Blackarachnia and Blitzwing, Like Megatron and Starscream and the new guy on the right, but there's something about the other new guy that's not right, he looks like the founder of the society for BDSM fetishist amputees.

I wonder if the arm affects his transformation.
The toy prototype we've seen had two normal arms.

Megatron looks frakin insane. At least we get a real megatron again. Most of the D-Cons dont even look like robots. I hate this style of animation. And who in the hell is that blue guy? Please for the love of Primus dont tell me thats soundwave. If it is i will have to cry and then go and blow up the people that made him that way.

It's Lugnutz, some new guy that's the decepticon version of Bulkhead.

He transforms into some plane.

Well first of all look at this picture. G1 animation isnt that great the new animated is better looking If you count the robots G1 had good backgrounds beut then again I havent seen the animated show and I will be mature enough to keep my opinon till then.TIME FOR PIZZA! Man i need food or ill get mad and go crazy.................



BA LOOKS COOL Lugnuts is funny but cool Megatron is AWSOME lockdown cool

Intriguing, especially Blitzwing.

This doesn't bode well...

Well, I guess Starscream is blue after all.

I am actually starting to like this. I am excited about the hand drawing. The designs aren't the best, but I will adjust.

Don't be. He's a fat minivan with an electric guitar.

I know he's animated, I'm disappointed by him not being on the cover.

And he looks more like a Scion to me.

Awesome-sauce!

Colours are good on them all, these guys will stand out from the past few lines really well.

man I'm really diggin this. As far as the collectors club comic, I don't really want them to stop what they are doing with the classics story. It will be interesting to see what they can do with the Animated characters and the fourth combiner.

I really wish we had some Soundwave artwork, or a colored prototype. I need to see his head in color. If it looks as wierd in color as it does uncolored, then,... meh

Sorry for posting again, but Ho-Lee Crap, prime looks good

Yes he is Indeed awesome,
a little irrelevant to the topic though.

Although I wonder if they'll give Soundwave any flames on his alt mode?

If they do I hope they are silver-ish like with Night-Watch Optimus Prime.

but why is SS blue?????

Looks like Starscream gets to be all Seekers at once this time.
And the Joker.

This whole thing really seems okay.. I really miss the trademark angularity, though.

Right before Blitzwing runs away until his personality changes to the monocle one, ILL BE BACK WITH BRAINS!

Liking it. Starscream needs some more meat on his forearms and Lugnutz doesn't look as good as the toy.

However overall, I am liking it.

Nemesis Optronix wrote:but why is SS blue?????

Because that's the color they chose for him.

I can't wait for this cartoon to happen, still hate stupid dumb down cartoon style as much as bayformers, but I'm happy to see TF on T.V, again.

Could that be Skywarp? Is there going to be more than one Seekers in the Animated?

The look of it is starting to grow on me. I guess you have to see these things posed to really appreciate them. I'm still a hater though. I mean, the Decepticons actually look kinda cool, but they are upstaged by human supervillans (cringe)
If the humans played less of a role and the Decepticons played more of a role then this could have potential to be truly great. Unfortunately, the powers that be are still too arrogant to admit that they made a mistake with the humans in Armada, and so they make the same mistake over and over again.

I've been looking more and more at the toys for this line, and I still have to say unlike previous lines where I made sure to get at least 1 of every mold, this line will be severly knit-picked.

StarScream, BulkHead, Skinny Prime, SoundWave...

The only way I can see me getting these would be either on some type of buy one get one sale, super clearance, or maybe in a cheap ebay lot.

However, that's not to say that some of the others don't look intresting.

I just see alot of shelf warmers on the horizon, and can't help but wonder if the recent retail shortage is part of some grander scheme to get TF starved Fans and Kids to rush out and buy these to satiate TF cravings.

Damn I'm too excited about animated, why do they have to tell us about this stuff so far in advance?

I would have liked to be left in the dark till about a month before airing and/or release of the toys.

No. It's Starscream.

For Animated? Where were those? I've only seen the blue ones.

I think it wsa during the Hasbro presentation at Bot-con and Comic-con.

one of the pictures during the show was a figure Starscream in his classic colors.

LEAVE GENERAL PETRAEUS ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't remember seeing any pictures of a G1 colored version of TF: Animated Starscream, and can't find any despite my efforts.

Maybe there's only one Seeker in the Animated. That will make Starscream lonely. So he turns blue.

Who knows? This COULD be the official reason.

I distinctly recall seeing a G1-coloured AniSS at the BotCon...

Indeed it was. They also showed it at the SDCC when they played the clip from the new show.

Well, I can't find it. Perhaps you could provide a picture or link, because I must not be looking in the right place.

I don't have the time at the moment, but type in "animated" in the news serch function and you'll find it. prolly about one or two pages in.

I'll just take your word for it, because I'm apparently still not looking at the right things. All I can find are the same blue/blue-gray Starscreams we've been seeing for weeks, although sometimes the lighting makes the blue even lighter so it looks more gray.
