It's funny I was able to restrain myself during classics, only picking up four molds.

 

I tried to do the same with the movie, but failed miserably ending up with all of the screen characters and then Wreckage and Arcee because they were in the concept art (:redface).

 

I've promised myself I'd only get Animated Voyager Prime, Bee, Starscream and Soundwave - but we'll see what happens :07laugh

This'll probably be my first major round of TF purchases since I started collecting again as an adult. I got back in towards the end of the Classics line and really didn't like the movie line, so my collection's still a bit sparse. I plan to get all of the main Autobot cast from Animated, plus Megatron (possibly two Megatrons if they release a version of his Earth-body that's in scale with my Classics "Ultimate Battle" Optimus Prime,) Starscream, Soundwave, Blackarachnia (possibly two if they release a redeco in her pre-Transmetal Beast Wars colours) and maybe Ultra Magnus, depending on how the toy turns out.

Being a big fan of aircraft of any sort I'll almost certainly get Starscream and Earth-mode Megatron, though I'm not to sure about Lugnut. And I always wanted to have a complete collection of Dinobots that don't cost that much, so here is my chance at that.

 

Aside from those I'll check out Blitzwing. I need to see the toy to know if I'll get him or not. Lockdown is also on my list. Soundwave as a pimped out car with Laserbeak turning into an ax-guitar is bucketloads of awesome!

I might get the guy in Hobbes' avatar, depending upon the level of awesome. It'd be hard to pass up the first guitar-wielding Transformer.

Cant argue with that. Me, I want alot of them if not all. The cyclops dude, I'm not into that much but definitely all the autobots and Starscream Soundwave and Megs, Not to mention Blitzwing. Even "Sugarbot" looks good.

You know what's cool with Animated? We won't get repaints from older lines.

See, you could have said that about the Movie line, and look what happened. If the Animated line proves successful enough, and they need filler to fill the gaps between waves, Hasbro won't think twice about repainting older molds and shipping them in Animated packaging.

 

On the Animated line itself....I'm not a fan of the animation style used, so I'll probably sit this line out for the most part. I am, however, planning on picking up Blitzwing, and maybe Earth Megatron if I like the look of him.

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
