i read the same. to be quite honest, i never really gave a damn about animated. the cartoon was cool...but the toys, not for me. i'm much more apprehensive about the cartoon ending after this season.

Crap. I'd better snag Grimlock before he disappears for good. There IS just Grimlock, Swoop, and Slag, in animated, right? (I REFUSE to call him Snarl! GRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Arcee and Electrostatic Soundwave have been pushed back to May. Here's hoping they actually come out.

@Wheezel: There's just Grimlock, Swoop, and "Snarl." They were going to come out with a Grimlock recolor, but I believe that's been shelved.

You don't like the toys for the design,or because they have flaws?

I was interested to buy an Animated Soundwave :? .

@ Scrapper - There is a chance we'll see the Electrostatic Soundwave W/Ratbat in May, if it's him you're referring to.

I never liked Animated to begin with. This is one series i did not pick up ANY figures from. The way the series was drawn was a big turn off for me. I grew up with the old school Cartoon Network with shows like Johnny Bravo, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Tom and Jerry, Swat Kats, Johnny Quest, etc.

This new Cartoon Network is a disgrace. I hate the style that the cartoons are drawn and the humor is downright stupid. I guess that's a sign that our younger generation are getting "stupider" or find the stupidest things funny!

or that the only thing the Koreans can actually draw well is Family Guy. And King of the Hill now too, IIRC?

I was referring to the normal Animated Soundwave in blue color,I like his design in robot mode a lot(and I'm not neither a big fan of characters in Animated style).
I didn't know about the new version in the link,it seems very beautiful and especially Ratbat is cool,thanks a lot for the precious info :D ,I'll buy it if we'll see .


Animated and new US cartoons too have a strange style for me(Scrapper's design had a sad fate too :evil: ...) because in the 80's cartoons had plots suitable also to very younger audinces)but their drawning style was certainly a lot more mature.
I have still to watch this Animated series,after all plots could be good...

Okay. He is pretty cool, so get him if you feel like it. :)

I also agree with you when it comes to the new cartoons. The style is not at all what I'm used to seeing, and unfortunately I like very few of them. I was very doubtful when I first saw Transformers Animated, but even though the animation is different I like it. I always prefer to try something out before I decide whether I like it or not. "Don't judge a book by its cover", sort of. :)
