Well Ransack and Crumplezone are cool, but obviously the various cameos are what make this comic. I particulary liked the red and orange Cybertronesc Hot Shot, and Huffer being probably my top 3 Animated designs.

This comic brings me a lighter spirit, but also great sorrow. Somehow the new Animated Cheetor is more appealing to me and I might consider buying him. However now I am saddened that they are rubbing Hot Shot in my face and we will probably never get a figure :sad:

I'm a 90's kid so Armada came first before I saw the 86 movie. Hot Shot might be my favorite Transformer, in front of Prime, then Shockwave, then Hot Rod. Sorry guys, Hot Shot just stuck out when I was 7.

Aren't they all? I assumed the reason Animated uses this 'style' was so little kids with no artistic talent at all could almost accurately draw their favorite characters. I can't think of any other reason why choose such a poor scrappy graphical aesthetic unless the animators themselves lack the skill to do any better too.

Yeah, that's totally the reason.
