Animated Toys

When is Rodimus, Blackout & Arcee going to be released?

never or sometime after the move hype dies down lol with a new line of classics???

that also makes me sad

I read they plan on releasing Animated Arcee, Rodimus, Blackout, Cybertron mode Ratchet, a repaint of Soundwave (with Ratbat), a repaint of Bumblebee (aka Fugitive Wasp)

I think they are going to be released as in the "universe" toy line

man that sux the ani show is awesome. give us more ani eps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They will all be store exclusives eventually. Theres no set release date at the moment but we have been 'promised' that they'll be available eventually.

{When I say 'promised' I mean in such small numbers that they'll quickly become an ebay exclusive with the prices jacked up by 200% :hit: bloody scaplers. Or even not at all }

The last I heard was they won't be released until after christmas. :suspect:

ah man that sux I want them now

When I began buying the Animated toy line, I did not open any of them.
It wasn't util I bought my LAST Animated figure. Then I spent a day untwisting the blasted twist ties.
You can view what I have in my collection pics or just check out the Cybertron Archives - Animated data base.

Once I opened them all and played with them for a bit. I could not believe how cool these were.
Some are kinda shotty, but every patch of apples has a spoiled one in there somewhere.

Collecting the Animated toys was the first time I collected figures from a series while the series was still on TV.
They are some of my favorite TFs.

I agree that some animated figures are very cool.

Few weeks ago I've bought and opened Animated Swindle and in robot mode,for his cartoonish style,is a very good figure to display.
Besides his face and a lot of details remind me the old G1 character in toon version.
At the moment I have only him but I absolutely want to buy other Tfs from this line.

I just read that Animated Electro Soundwave w/Ratbat & Freeway Jazz has been released.
Wave 7 of the Animated series will soon be mine... ALL MINE!!

wooooooooo :woohoo:

About freakin time! How about Arcee? I'm gonna need a linky to Freeway Jazz.

EDIT: OK, just checked Siebertron and saw Jazz. Arcee is on the back of the package! :woohoo:

i only posses 5 of the animated toys ........

thats 1 too many

Here is a bad rumor i have read from www.seibertron.com....

So, Blackout and 'Cracker are out there somewhere in limited quantities soon to be scalped on evilBay with Buy-It-Now's of "Your first born child"? And, are you talking about the Activators Cracker or did they make a big 'un?

for Primus sakes!!

Finally got a Sentinel Prime and Swoop on clearance. Sent's not bad, I don't like how the plow looks in bot mode. Swoop kinda sucks. I got a bad mold, too. His chest is a little wonky, head pops off, missing a paint app on his left shoulder.

my Swoop's head pops off all the time.

what does everyone want..................................................... javascript:emoticonp('')

I found both Soundwave and Blitzwing were poorly made.... hope the japanese releases are better when I get those

such is the reason wh you should keep em in their plastic prisons ...

they look better

Yeah, neither one of my SW's chest fronts snap in properly. Still, I think overall the Ani's are FAR superior in the quality department compared to the movie toys. The few movie toys I have gotten are mostly crap. Loose with shotty paint apps, molding problems, crap falling off.

sounds a bit like my tractor ... :lol!:

the problem with newer TF's compared to G1 is they got more moving parts.
Transformation is usually harder and crap falls off. Good thing for ball-joints.
