Animated Season 3

What are you complaining aboot apparently every Australian speaks like steve irwin and crocadile dundee.......just ask Cybertron Jetfire.

Seriously dislike the use of accents imo its like lazy Voice acting.

Nothing wrong with speculation, that's what discussion is for as others have said. Besides which, isn't there meant to be that two jetfire/jetstorm package coming out in the current line which wasn't in the show but may be in season 3?

I'm very happy with the animated line, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it take a backseat to the movie and universe/25th lines next year (Hasbro hasn't got unlimited resources and they just put their prices up as everyone else is getting more and more squeezed for money which could see lower sales next year even in the face of increased popularity) but it doesn't hurt to throw ideas out for them as to what we'd like to see done with these characters who may or may not important.

Perhaps if Hasbro were a little more forthcoming with info concerning the future of animated there would be something a little more concrete to discuss but lets face it considering Animated had finished airing by SDCC and was almost done by botcon the amount of news we got concerning post season 2 was ridiculous.

I mean we have been getting round about info from things like the interviews with Marty Isenberg and David Kaye but again because nothing official has been released their hands were tied as to what they could say hell I wouldnt be suprised with the way things have been handled that we get 'Official' confirmation of season 3 after the 1st few episodes have aired on YTV.......

That's why R.I.D and Animated are my favorite toylines. Their toys are nearly identical to their screen counterparts (with few exceptions).

The first series of toys had a few characters from the first few episodes of season 2, too. I don't think there'll be more than 4-5 characters from season 3 in this next batch.

Hm. Sounds like fun. Hopefully a good couple of these guys will actually see toys. Animated has been a little weird with how they've gotten their figures released (hell, like Kickback pointed out, we're just now getting f***ing Blitzwing and he has been one of the main Decepticons throughout both seasons!).

Here's hoping for a good deal of these characters plus the characters from season two that haven't had a toy confirmed for them yet at some point along the lines here. I mean, does anyone else find it funny as hell that we haven't heard something yet about the Constructicons, however, we've seen Shockwave who arguably had less of a role?

Honestly guys, I think the designs for whatever toys are going to come from season 3 are done, and have been so. Companies OCCASIONALLY are able to keep things internal, and it's my belief that they have many of these ready to go, but not produced due to work on the movie line.

Personally I believe if any line will suffer, it will be Universe/25th. Because that has no fiction to go with it. Being that Hasbro has decided to focus on IP's, they are probably going to support whatever has available fiction. Do you seriously see them airing season 3 and then letting there be this huge gap between that and toy release again? Kids will forget about it and sales will be lost. Universe/25th can be revisted whenever they feel like it because it CATERS TO COLLECTORS. How many 5-11 year olds want a G1 Prime? Understand how awesome Acid Storm is? Pumped their fists in celebration of a new Cyclonus?

Kids come first. Their focus will be the movie, then animated, and lastly.... Universe/25th. Which sucks, but it gives my wallet a needed break.

Pretty interesting info.

Too bad we have to wait so long to actually see it in action.

Agree.

Bonecrusher as G1 and cute:

Well, look how popular Lugnut has become! We could throw him in with the constructicons AND have him be "Movie inspired"

Mix: "Hey-o, lookie here at this new recruit Megs sent us"
BC: "I hate this planet."
Scrapper: "Woah, no need to be surly there buddy"
BC: "I ain't your buddy"
Mix: "Yeah okay dere tough guy, anyway Megs wants us to get started on his weather dominator thingy,,,"
BC: "..."
Scrapper: "Then we're gonna head down to the wharf, and get a few barrels of oil"
BC: "?"
Mix (threatening): "Whatsamatta, Youse don't like oil either?"
(pause)
BC: "I like oil"

Also why do all the "ninja types" have goggles? (Zey do nothing!)
