BotCon 2010 - Animated Exclusives

Recommended Posts

On display at BotCon 2010, Hasbro showed off two of their upcoming Transformers Animated figures, Cybertronian Ironhide and Rodimus Minor. Cybertronian Ironhide, a repaint with a brand-new head mold, will be available beginning August 1, 2010, which is obviously contingent upon your luck. Rodimus Minor will August 1, 2010 (again, depending on your luck and store) for $12.99. The figures do not have the store stickers on them, but we previously learned that the figures will be distributed through Toy R Us stores. Read the Full News Story Here

I'll get both. I have a feeling that after the Arcee gripes Rodimus will be produced in mass.

 

I was gonna pay the immediate mark up for Rodimus, but the more I see the figure, the more I think I'd rather spend that money on Ironhide.

 

With this confirmation, I'll be happy to spend the bare minimum on both.

 

Now, as for the argument that Bulkhead is refered to as Ironhide in the Takara folklore, I have to wonder, what are they gonna call Ironhide?

Hell, they included him in the credits after all!?!?!

Anyhow, Animated Bulkhead sucks.

 

-not for nothing, as much as Animated sucked, I can't help but love that clip, just watched it a bunch of times :mwahaha

Animated wishes it was that good!

I can see people getting at least 2 of Ironhide. One to keep and one to snag the head and convert an Earth Ratchet. I'll grab both.. provided TRU can pull their heads from their asses on distribution :roll

outside of the articualted hands, EM Ratchet isn't worth refitting.

 

honestly, the more I see Animated Rodimus, the more I don't like it.

I have a stockpile of Animated Arcees, Rodimus is not getting that same love.

 

From the (hopeful) last two shovels on Animated's Grave, Ironhide is going to be the one I care about.

 

Funny what a repaint can do.

 

-to bad they take to many chances on that :P

I got Arcee almost a month back from Ebay, the TRU here had plenty of Cybertron Rachets but no Arcees. I think I will have to see if that same guy gets Rodimus.

 

I'm not thrilled about his robot mode...he is all chest...he has no lower body, except for feet. I would rather put that money towards the Protector upgrade(as soon as I hear a price)

Anyone know what's become of Animated Thundercracker & Blackout?

They made no mention of them. I really hope Blackout is released over here. I'd rather pay a reasonable price for 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.
