Oh...shiny...

Are you a seagull? Are you attracted to shiny things? If so, then Takara Tomy have some figures for you! Seibertron.com is proud to present three new Animated galleries for your viewing pleasure.

First up, we have the (shiny) Voyager Optimus Prime, part of a two pack with the Voyager Megatron mold:

Next up, we have Goldbug Deluxe Bumblebee:

Finally, Armorhide, or Ironhide in the US, released late in the Japanese Animated line, where Takara Tomy evidently ran low of shiny paint:

Keep an eye on the Seibertron.com galleries for Universe 2.0 Hot Shot and Henkei Hot Rod later this week!

Love the look of Prime and Ironhide. Those tones look really good on them. Not-Goldbug whoever is most definitely NOT Goldbug. Sparkly straight yellow is just...eeewwww. They would have been better off going with the deeper tones of the New Classics 'Bee.

In the immortal words of Liev Shrieber: "Ooh, Shiny!"

Prime works in the metalized red paint. BB not so much.

QFT. And Armor/Ironhide looks silly in half and half.

BB looks better in person. It's a richer, less gaudy gold.

Like everyone else is saying, Prime and Ironhide look magnificent, but bumblebee not so much. The glossy red on Prime looks like the glossy purple on Botcon 2011 Motormaster, so with the events of the new Takara Animated Prime it gets me looking forward to Botcon Animated Motormaster. Weird.

The metallic paintjobs actually make animated look cool. Im glad I bought the jade green Bulkhead at Botcon last year. Im still debating whether to open him or not.
