Additional Images | | | | PyroniusRex:
Woot dying Ultra Magnus and an Omega Sentinel!
flamingunicron:
The ending of Animated better not be them turning into humans...
Acteon:
Wouldn't surprise me if it was...
Drake:
Awsome stuff!
Magnus looks like he's been drinking Energon Brand Malt Liquor. It got him f'ed up for less money.
ActionMasterZod:
My new background.  
Thanks to Bgrngod for the black and white pic of the season three bots.
GAUGE0001:
wow I was viewing a youtube video with all of these images in it, and then I come here and here they are. The whole time I thought they were fan images, nice to see they really aren't. so what happened to Magnus's Hammer? does Prime end up with it? or.... even better, RODIMUS? ooooooooo and even better than that... what is SARI ends up with it? lmao!
Oh yeah is there a way larger Hi-Res version of these images can be posted?
if not I guess I'll have to redraw them in photoshop to be ginormous mordecai6:
Honestly I believe we are looking at the best season of the best transformers show this side of beast wars here. I am uber excited about the shockwave/ultra magnus fight. Those guys are some of my favorites. And cyclonus!!!!
Holy monkey he looks great! And of course blackout is a monster. Wyatt is the man.
BigBadBoombox:
can somebody find an appropriate background for this? I did the coloration, but thought if i had a good background of say Sumdac towers, it would finish this off perfect.  dark69:
so the comic with the twins was rite the show is 10 years later?
Vampyr:
i did coloration too, but only for sari, with comparaison to the young one:  RIOTFLEA: Quote:

Master Fwiffo:
Hrmm...
Something just looks off about this.
Seeker24:
Noooo! ultra magnus!! hopefully he doesnt die, but he looks pretty beat up..

She just LOOKS like she'd have a few inches on him.

Autobot-Girl:
Hmmm...Meltdown's obsession to make a Transforming human comes to mind when I see the TFs like they are....
Beastbot X: Quote:

Torque:
the size chart... i couldnt help but notice that Blackout looksdifferent-is that cause its rough, or cause hes different now? looks like an earth mode to me
Railguard:
Wow, Cyclonus looks sick in the animated series version!! I might have to pick him up as well!!!!

Although you based it off of a promotional image of Sari that's different from the regular one, which has different boots, a different key, a slightly different skin tone, and rougher lining on the head.
This also made me notice that circular object placed right above her chest (which you were probably right in coloring metal gray) that is apparently taking the place of the AllSpark key.
I'm also noticing those odd looking lines (joints?) on her arms, legs, and sides.

On a different note, I'm liking how they snuck what appears to be a Matrix into UM's chest.
After seeing all these different designs & ideas... it's such a shame that Animated is getting the axe. The amount of potential here is just amazing.
Dinobot Snarl:
Cyclonus looks better than the Universe one, much closer to G1 better simpler transformation.
godbomber:
Synthoids?
Does this mean we're gonna have an Animated Snake?
kenm2474:
Out of all these new Characters I bet we wont get Half of them as a Toy.

I am really eager to hear Hasbro address TFA's (apparent) demise publicly. Although I'm not expecting much in the way of an explanation, other than maybe a few comments at BotCon or something.
spica:
o_____O
Oh my God! They beat up Magnus!! Dont tell me that Cybertron blow up! Older Sari looks nice...
MY GOD, DECEPTICONS ARE WINNING!!!! (faints) CANT WAIT UNTIL MARCH

anyway, i could see a spin-off with these human versions.. and whoever said it would be fun for the autobots to meet their human likenesses... well that's TRUTH. that would be fun.

LOL at the human Autobot dopplegangers.
Season 3 can't come soon enough. Some of those images hint at a real bump up in the production quality.

Squints:
Every time someone mentions Snake or Old Snake, the first thing I think of is "Why would a Metal Gear Solid crossover ever make sense?"...
Awesome stuff there. Especially the "Autobots-as-humans" designs. Hopefully they get put to good use--note, not necessarily much use. Quality, not quantity.
Kenitron:
Those 4 humans are Optimus, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Ratchet. They're going to turn into humans like the ONLY HUMAN episode in G1 Season 3 when Magnus, Rodimus, Springer and Arcee turned human.

sure!!! 
that work?
-A.S.
Malunis_T:
The human sketches oh man.
I emailed Derrick Wyatt once in the past month to ask if there would be human versions of the characters in reference to that one episode of G1. He says it's been discussed, but I guess this confirms their appearance.
Also, I kinda like how the "upgraded" Sari looks now that she's without the Kicker-suit.
Razerwire: *SIGH*
So much potential lost.
girafeswordsman:
I can not wait for season 3. BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!

Thus he'd have the same vehicle mode as Megatron, which is the same vehicle mode as G1 Highbrow - a helicopter with two rotors.
dare:
Ah shit, humanised autobots. One of the things I hated from G1 season 3. :-(
AnimatedFan:
Damn, damn, damn!
Why is this show being canceled?
The meticulous work and hours spent...all going down the drain.
Friggin' stupid ROTF. Don't get me wrong, I love the movieverse (to an extent) but Animated outclasses it in every single way.
It's family oriented.
It has something for everyone.
No foul language, no "smut".
Just an extremely enjoyable show with great characters and a whole lot of fun.
Cyclonus looks fantastic, I can't wait to see what Rodimus looks like in plastic... I'm so angry right now.

Even looking at them right next to each other, there are very few similarities, if any at all.

Well, the arms and legs do bare resemblance. Anyway, that's probably out: Animated Autobots can't fly except in special cases like Swoop and the Jet twins.
