Hi!
After enjoying the Transformers movie and acquiring a couple of the Decepticons, a look at Bulkhead from Transformers Animated has pulled me back in!!!
I love The Batman/Teen Titans and while the style is gonna take a bit of getting used to for the show, the toys look immense!

After enjoying the Transformers movie and acquiring a couple of the Decepticons, a look at Bulkhead from Transformers Animated has pulled me back in!!! See I'm the opposite. What I've seen of the Animated toys is putting me off Transformers all over again. I very strongly dislike the over simplified, exaggerated cartoony style. But welcome back anyways. I think The Batman is far better drawn than anything I've seen of the new Transformers cartoon. Never could stand the Teen Titans cartoon. Massively relieved the new dvd animated movie Teen Titans : The Judas Contract is apparently nothing to do with the show.

i also hate the styling of the animated toys. I was never too keen on the animated designs for the cartoon, but they are passable but as toys they suck hard. They look like fisher price toys. I wont be buying any of them.

Hey welcome back Divebomb. Yeah Animated has the fan-base divided yet again. The new "Universe line" will be popular though with those who do not like Animated. Personally we think that though its different, we quiet like it, and that the toys do look like the show. There is a lot more we hope to do with TransformersAnimated.com but we're not going to rush it as we have a lot of other bits to get done.

Yeah I have already got some shiny new wallpaper from there I can see that it is a style that would be controversial, especially after the movie designs which were very intricate. But I am looking forward to simple transformations, I'm getting old

Alright Danny, long time no speak. I like the toys too, and having taken a break since the start of Energon (and sold most of my toys (bah!), I think these animated ones will be my new starting point. Good to have you back, which alternative toys/comic geekery has kept you away, or was it simply a case of mortgage etc?

Hi Ross!
I've been running Minimates Central, but even that stopped over the summer. Its back now with another reviewer on board. 4 years is a LONG time to single-handedly run a website.
Stopped collecting Transformers (pretty much everything) when space became an issue, so missed everything after Armada. I have a couple of Galaxy Force and Energon toys, but really hadn't bought any from the shops until the movie. I just had to have a Decepticon Police car!
After the movie I bought Blackout and Starscream. The Autobot designs didn't do it for me.
But the other day I saw pictures of Bulkhead and thought "OMG! That's exactly how I want my giant robots to look!" so have been quite hyped for the toys. The new designs, some of them you can't even work out how they transform. To get Prowl's robot from his bike mode is just amazing!
I shan't be a completist, and I shall just hope for toys I can actually buy in Tescos/TRU without needing the internet. It kills me to have to order a £6 pack of Minimates online cos I can't find any here.
And my enthusiasm for the cartoon will no doubt be tempered when it's on US CN rather than our CN for months.

Im just depressed that there doesnt seem to be anywhere that any kind of speculation or discussion to take place, I know its early but still there is stuff.
I mean like I have this feeling that actually kind of upsets me that the shots of Acree we see are in flashback and that its her that becomes Black Arachnia (Id prefer 2 female characters than 3 versions of 1).
The mention of a Combiner is extremely interesting as was the reply to the question of playsets as if Ark/Nemesis Playsets that transform from G.I Joe esque ships to Spiderman, Ninja Turtle ie standard action figure playsets wouldnt rock.
The chance of other popular BW characters being thrown in the mix.
Quintessons maybe, the possibility of getting robot heroes (though since they would be fleshies it would be more Super hero squad/galactic heroes) versions of the human characters.
With the movie showing a willingness to try new things maybe non transforming action feature heavy toy releases in smilar packaging and toy size to deluxes but cheaper due to the lack of engineeering etc.
Not to mention how in many ways this series is shaping up to be alot more like how we initially hoped that Armada would turn out just amusing the new asthetic seems to overshadow this sort of thing.
As you can probably tell Im very excited about animated I havent been this pumped for a TF series since I first realized that Beast Wars was actually transformers.
