    As a UK Animated fan this announcement is slightly bittersweet for me.

    I'm ecstatic that these figs are actually going to see the light of day, but i'm kinda skeptical that they'll make it over here.

    I'd want to buy them off ebay, but I really dont want to encourage scalping.

    Ultimately though - yay!

    Oh hell yeah!! I was really disappointed when I read the rumor that they might have been canceled. What a relief. Why do we have to wait until the fall though, that blows. Oh well, at least we will be able to get them.

    I'd imagine Ratchets sales were slower because he already had a figure released. I think Ironhide would prove more popular.

    Have a feeling Rodimus will be just as hard to find as Arce.

    Oh God yes. Sign me up for one of each.

    The way they worded it, it seems like everything that's past a painted prototype is on the list of "to get out in some way".

    What this means for the ones that we haven't seen as manufactured test-shot/production samples I can't speculate. Though it is worth noting that (to my recollection) Ironhide was never showcased as a testshot at any events like Ratchet/Arcee/Rodimus, but he is a simple remould.

    TRU exclusives? I'll take it. At least these WILL be coming out. Even if you have to pay a few extra bucks to some scumbag scalpers, it's (sadly) better than these figures proceeding on their way to oblivion. I'm SO happy to get Roddy and Ironhide. I'll be practically camping out at my local TRU.

    Wow. At this rate, it would probably just be helluva lot easier to get the Japanese versions.
