New Images Of Upcoming Transformers Animated And Universe Releases At Bigbadtoystore.com

Atomic Lugnut: Win, so need him. I was iffy on the original, but that paint, and that nasty little grin in his alt mode...yea, he's getting bought.

Wreck-Gar: He's getting bought just because he's so awesome. I wasn't even that big a fan of his...but he's still too awesome.

Deluxe Waspinator: Surprisingly cool, will need more pics though

Samurai Prowl: ...I may actually buy this. I'm not a big fan of animated Prowl, but this could change that.

Leo Prime: LOLpass. Though as someone else said, him repainted as Razorclaw would be sweet.

Overload: Redeco of an already released redeco? Yea, pass. What Overload is he supposed to represent anyway?

Dinobot: Surprisingly cool, but need better pics.

Smokescreen: He looks great but I already have that mold and like my Cybertron Smokescreen more.

Wreck-Gar and Waspinator are really nice, will probably get them

Universe Dinobot look great, and the Universe Beast Wars figures look good so far! I was tempted to get some Beast wars figures when the 10th anniversary repaint came out, but had too much stuff to buy before that and didn't get them. Now I can get them in what looks like to be better mold and more accurate, so I hope they'll do all the first season cast!

Damn, Wreck Gar looks fucking amazing.

Waspinator: Actually surprised me with an insect mode, but he looks pretty cool. I'll wait to (see him in the show?) before I decide.

Prowl: Does look pretty decked out, but I have the original and don't care to own this one that much.

Wreck-Gar: Not bad representation of the character. But a pass.

Dinobot: Do want. He looks excellent, I might pick up Cheetor to go with him.

Atomic Lugnut: I might like these colors better than the original. But I don't need another one of the mold. So pass.

Likely pass on the other repaints as well.

WOW! Wrekgar is perfection! Pefect vehicle mode. Perfect robot mode. Proof that Animated is the the design pinnacle in the history of all transformers!

Wasp and smokescreen look great too!

preordered both deluxes

What is up with the weird color scheme for Dinobot they go out of the way to design a more show accurate mold for him and then get his color scheme all wrong.

The rest look really good... I still kind of wish that Leo Prime was going to be a US release of Lio Convoy, but he looks good and I like the new head too.

Waspinator, Samurai Prowl, and Wreck-Gar all look great. I will be interesting to see if Waspinator will get that form on the show.

Smokescreen looks great as well and will be added to my Universe/Classics collection.

its been avalable at bbts for about a week now

I'm usually not a big fan of Beast Wars toys, but Universe Dinobot looks amazing!!!

Smokescreen is a nice G1 homage.

Wasp=buy, dino=buy, leo=buy (was really hoping for more from this character though)

Holy shit... there's some real gems in there. I'm actually shocked at how good Wreck-Gar looks (I didn't have high hopes for this mold for whatever reason), Prowl looks wicked, and Universe Smokescreen looks pretty much as I expected. Waspy, unfortunately, will be another 'beastformer' ala Blackarachnia that I skip altogether. Couldn't care less about Dinobot or the Lugnut repaint.

Yes...all of my suffering hasn't been for naught!

Wreck-Gar: I would have bought this toy even if he never appeared in the show, he's so awesome. The fact he did appear in the show just once, in what I consider the funniest episode of all time so far, only makes me want him MORE!

Smokescreen-Hmmm, a triadic colorscheme for the customary third use of the Prowl mold. MUST HAVE!!!1!!1!!! I held out on Classics Prowl simply so I could get a Smokescreen.

Samurai Prowl-All kinds of aweseome incarnate. I held out on the first version so I could get this one, plus he doesn't come with a pathetic traffic light weapon.

Atomic Lugnut- Maybe, I personaly like the first deco better, and the only reason I don't have the latter is because he's never in stock whenever I go look.

Waspinator-Season 3 spoilers folks! He's a maybe, although I do need a whipping boy for my collecting, and Tudorbot doesn't look like he's getting a toy, so...

Overload-No, I already got Dropshot, who I like better anyways. If they re-issued the Armada Brick, though, I'd get it, as I got Super Pants Prime and Armada Jetfire.

Dinobot- Meh, I never was a BW guy myself.

I so need to get a job, I need more money coming my way with all these great figures!

Hasbro, you've outdone ourself with Wreck-Gar and Smokescreen, so this one's for you:

Now where's Universe Sunstorm? The G1 Seekers need their shining radioactive religous-crap spewing clone to complete the ranks!

see, i was going to get it IF it was the armada brick...but since its cybertron scattorshot again, i'll be passing...

only ones Id get is Waspy and Overload.

Samurari Prowl-- AMAZING.

Waspinator-- AMAZING.

Wreck-Gar-- AMAZING.

Atomic Lugnut-- ATOM-AZING.

Leo Prime-- Head remold! YAY!

Overload-- Odd that they're re-using the mold again so soon, but I LOVE that mold, so... AMAZING.

I am one happy camper right now.

Sweet lord I love them all. ALL BOUGHT!

I'll pass on the Lugnut repaint and I think now I have Prowl and Bluestreak I have enough of that mold so Smokescreens out too.
Waspinator, Wreckgar and Dinobot look fantastic, cant wait to get them though hopefully Dinobot will get a better paint job first. Might get Prowl, not sure yet.

sam, i love your signature, its amazing how much info a few coloured dots can carry!!

You know, it's funny how Smokescreen's head covers the 38 on the hood. This probably won't go down well with those who are used to Smokescreen having the number on his chest, but I find that this way prevents the upper body seeming too 'busy' when there's already an Autobot symbol and two 38's on his doors. Anyone else agree with me?

Damn, those look AWESOME. Wreck-Gaw and Prowl especially. Smokescreen is nice too, although I may pick Bluestreak/Silverstreak over him.

Dinobot is looking cool too, but because these once again are the Photoshopped promo images, he'll probably end up looking muddy gray/brown. :|

Samurai Prowl looks great - and that's coming from someone who isn't sold on Animated.

Smokescreen's color blocking is a mess.

I'm not sure whether I'll collect animated or not, so I'll passs on prowl, waspy, wreck-gar, and lugnut for the moment, but I love the dinobot and leo prime figures. I'll probably get those.

Lugnut: same tiny mold? no thanks.

Wreck-Gar: Very possible.

Samurai prowl: Looks good, but I already have regular Prowl. Pass.

Waspinator: Looks freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll look forward to seeing non touched up pictures to see if it retains it's sheer amazingness

Leo Prime- Maybe on clearence. Cool remolding on the head but a subpar mold is still a subpar mold.

Overload: Great color scheme...just a little confused why they're releasing the mold again so soon after Dropshot. Oh well, if I have the $$$$ I'll get it. Great mold is great.

Dinobot: Still looks wonky. I'm sure I'll buy just based on the character alone.

Smokescreen: Bought upon sight.

Lets see here's my two cents about the pics:
Atomic Lugnut: pass for me, even though the paint job is wicked.
Wreck-Gar: dead aim accurate of the cartoon, but not going to get it.
Waspinator: freakin awesome, but pass
Samurai Prowl: Damn, he's ready to kick ass and take names, but pass.
Leo Prime: nice paint job and head its a maybe.
Overload: nice deco, but pass
Dinobot: Sweet God in Heaven that is awesome I'll definitely get that when its available.
Smokescreen: Buy for me because for my Uni/Classics collection of mine. Don't care if its a repaint of Prowl still getting it.

Hold on, could the Leo Prime still attach to Cybertron Prime!?

man another repaint of that mold for overlord but it looks good.
smokescreen looks great.

YAY! More Plastic crack!

Wreck-Gar; Perfect. Absolutely perfect. I wonder if his "backpack" is hollow and you could store odd things in it. The one thing about the figure I'm not to happy about is the garbage truch mode because it looks a bit simplistic, but certainly overlookable. Definite buy.

Waspinator: Wow! I'm really glad he's not a Bumblebee repaint. Very impressed. I really like the details on the wings. If you disregarded the wasp abdomen, he kind of looks like a locust. Definite buy.

Samurai Prowl: Looks perfect except for the helmet doesn't leave much room for the face. It also looks like he gets an upgrade on the windshield detail. Definite buy.

Atomic Lugnut: I like the deco. If this colour scheme appears in the show, I'll definetly buy it, but if it doesn't, I'll only buy it if I have a some extra money.

Leo Prime: I like robot mode better than beast mode. I'm glad they remolded the head. It would be interesting to see him combined with Cybertron Optimus. The only way I'd buy him is if I wanted to add to my Optimus collection otherwise this might be a pass.

Dinobot: Looks really nice but I'd prefer normal brown over dark brown. Definite buy.

Smokescreen: He looks really good in bot mode, I'm not sure if I'll get him, only if I have spare money.

Overload: I'm happy with my Cybertron Defense Scattorshot. He almost looks like a repaint of Dropshot's colour scheme (if it was interpreted differently)

Man that Wreck-Gar preorder went quick.

Waspinator looks like a strange hybrid of a wasp and a grasshopper. His beast mode mostly reminds me of Kickback. He's the biggest disappointment of this bunch, considering how much I looked forward to the toy.

Hot damn. I do believe I'm going to be getting every one of these except Atomic Lugnut and maybe Overload. I might get Overload as I don't have that mold, but probably not. Everything else looks pretty damn great though.

Oops, double post.

Hot damn. I do believe I'm going to be getting every one of these except Atomic Lugnut and maybe Overload. I might get Overload as I don't have that mold, but probably not. Everything else looks pretty damn great though.

Wreck-Gar looks super dope.

Hey I think Wreck gar reuses leader megatron parts. Around the waist and the legs from at least the knee down.

Wreck-Gar looks super dope.

Lugnut: I just might get that version, since I gave my original Lugnut to my nephew.

Samurai Prowl: Amazing, I have to get that one for sure!

Waspinator: WOW! Just Wow. That looks so completely fantastic.

Wreck-Gar: He's good for only one thing... CLEANING OUT MY WALLET!

the non-Animated stuff I might look at. Definitely not Leo Prime, Overload or Dinobot. I like the Beast Wars fiction and all but I've never been big on the toys. As for Smokescreen... probably a pass. I have Prowl and Silverstreak, I don't need yet another of the same mold.

All in all, the Animated figs are blowing me away with the latest releases. They just get better as they go on.

Overload should have been OVERLORD and painted as such. Seems like Hasbro is just kind of painting old molds for the hell of it. They should at least TRY something less leftfield for this mold to catch Classics collectors attention

Over TFA but I'll get Prowl

Leo Prime is cool but I feel like I'd have to get Cheetor and Dinobot to make a Beast-type display. Smelling Razorclaw repaint though, he's already got a Legends figure

Smokescreen = Buy even though I have the Cyb version

I see some similarities, but there is definitely no reuse of parts there. On a side note, It'd be awesome if he had his vacuum in his backpack there, but I like him as-is. The sheilds, or whatever they are, are pretty cool looking, and it's nice to see that, while he does have an Autobot logo on him, he doesn't have any logo on his chest, like he did for a majority of the time.

Pass.

Mine. One of the few Animated toys I want.

Waspinator is mine. Again, one of the few Animated ones I want. Prowl is a pass.

Crap. He's got a new head. If he's "Classic" or "Generation One" series, I'll buy him, but he's probably "Beast Wars Series" and they'll likely make him out to be a reincarnation of the original Optimus Prime in the BW continuity. We'll see.

What the hell?? Why would they release this mold AGAIN in Universe? I wonder what series he'll be considered. G1 Overload would have been a better fit for the Armada Overload mold. This.... I have no clue. Maybe they just couldn't get the name Flak....

Smokescreen definitely for my Classics, but I might get Dinobot to replace the 15th Anniv one on my BW shelf...




Chris

Okay, first impressions... But I must remember they're all photoshopped!

Atomic Lugnut: Y'know, I'm not a fan of the mold but the paint job is really pretty. except for the gawky mouth painted on the side. But I'm a sucker for anything for a big tampographed warning sign, so I may get this...

Wreck-Gar: Oh... My... God... A definate buy! This one has bags of character, I love the look on his face! Wondering what that gimmick on his arm are for, and I reckon those arms for his alt. mode are mistransformed...

Waspinator: YES! I'm so glad this isn't another repaint of the fugly BB mold! Another definate buy, because of how freakin' sweet he looks in both modes!

Samurai Prowl: I'm so glad I held out for this, rather than going for the Wave 1 version (And that he hasn't been recoloured...) The addition of the armor is really cool, makes him look even more badass than normal!

Leo Prime: Oh dear. So much for the hopes of a new mold... Props for the new head mold to go with it, but Hasbro should take whoever designed this paint scheme and execute them. Slowly.

Overload: Another repaint of Cyb. Defence Scattershot? Really? And Dropshot's been out for all of five minutes? Anyways... The only real appeal for me here is the nice camo paintjob it has.

Dinobot: Not as impressive as I thought he'd be... A slight improvement on the original figure, but not liking the tailgun weapon. that and the hide of his alt. mode is way too dark, and clashes with his robot parts...

Smokescreen: Never been a fan of Smokescreen, I find his paintjob repulsive in any continuity. But I am a fan of the Prowl mold, so I'm gonna hold out for some unedited photos, see how good/bad it actually is.

O.o
Do want!!!!!
Wreck-Gar looks amazing!
Waspinator is making me so excited to see him in the show...
Probably gonna get Prowl Samurai as well, though never really was a fan of Lugnut's mold...
Overall, these look amazing!!!!!!!

Lugnut is sweet, I'll get him.

Wasp and Samurai Prowl are both pretty cool but not sure.

Wreck-Gar is a must get.

hopefully prowls new moulding (i see hes got at least 1 change to the body itself)includes some heelspurs so he can stand ok this time.

wasp's going to be a wasp...i was hoping BB repaint..........

wreckgar and atomic lugnut look great.

pass on overload and leo prime......

dinobot and smokescreen look great.

On second inspection...Wreck-gar is sold out...unless you want A. Lugnut as well then you can still get them together...PREORDERED

Thanks, microclone! I love reducing things to their simplest elements, with pixels. Glad you like it.

The Waspinator beast mode looks like the pose is a bit wonky. Mistransformed?

Actually thinking about it, Leo Prime in those colours will look pretty sweet in Savage Claw mode.

Wow yeah i really like all of these esp smokescreen and wasp and wreckgar wow yeah going to be buying these soon dont really like Prowl or Dinobot tho.

Edit i maybe one of the few that really love leo prime

Dinobot's too dark and Smokescreen still has that ugly yellow spoiler. Otherwise I love them.

Actually, the animated Waspinator kind of reminds me of Beast Machines Buzzclaw in transformation and appearance.
