Their actually making wheelie? Wonder what waspinator will look like?
Shark Jumper:
Atomic Lugnut? You gotta be kidding me. His regular toy is hard to sell as is.
-_-' maybe others will buy his repaint and claim it's a drone or something.
dark69:
man i want pix!!!
Ham Sandwich:
Do we have any indication as to what Leo Prime and Overload are?
I'm guessing it's the whole LeoBreaker > Leo Prime Legends > NOW IN BIG FLAVOUR deal, and like, I'm at me a loss for this Overload thing.
I know he's as articulated as [comical thing that isn't very articulate indeed!] but I'd like to get my hands on an Armada Overload-based mold, as y'all talkin' about [Armada Overload] like I ain't got none, what you think I sold 'em all?
I didn't, because I never owned it!
Anyway, Overload thoughts?

Gaaaah want pics.
Hollywood Hoist:
Animated and Universe stuff seems to be coming out pretty quickly. Is it possible they had a whole bunch of product figured out but with movie coming out they don't want to compete with themselves?
Other than Arcee, I can't think of any other Animated figures that are rumored or announced.

Anyway, Overload thoughts? | Overload, is most likely that Armada mold, which is good, because it's by far one of the best of the armada molds lol!
though it could always be a new mold *same with the leo prime* but, i doubt it.
Dirge121:
Oh sweet, Swindle is available on his own to pre-order again.
AnimatedFan:
Thanks for the heads up. I just put Wreck Gar on preorder.
I'm concerned that we haven't seen hide nor hair of Arcee (confirmed by Wal-Mart computers) or the Constructicons. (Confirmed during one of the panels. I believe it was mentioned they'd be a 2-Pack?)
By now, we should've heard something, anything, at least. Although...now that we're seeing news of Samurai Prowl...that gives me hope on Arcee's appearance soon.
BTW...does anyone know anything about Waspinator? Are we looking at a straight repaint of Bumblebee (with a new head, of course), or will he actually be his own mold? Last I checked, we saw him only in his Cybertronian vehicle mode.
If he's a new mold, I'll preorder him and sell off the Samurai Prowl. If not, then he's one more to chalk up to a loss.
Knightdramon:
So, seriously, 31 USD for Wreckgar [voyager], and around 26 for all other voyagers? And no singles for either Prowl or Wasp, which will amount to around 15 USD each if you take the case of 2...too expensive for my taste, and I DO want Wreck-Gar!
Silent_Magnus:
Yay, now I can add more stuff to my checklists and take a lot off stuff from my "uknown" lists.
I
wonder if there is anything new in Universe Ultra wave 5?

Fort Max:
Aw yeah, samurai prowl in Feb. crimbot:
ugh. not another Leo Breaker. When are we gonna be done with Cybertron.
If the overload is Armada overload I'm actually okay with that, I own 3 different versions of him already.. whats one more haha. I wish I had Sentinel Prime though.
Dinobot Swoop:
Out of all of these, the only stuff that really interests me is animated Wreck-Gar and the legend mini-bots. Which is excellent, since it means more cash for the other apparently important stuff. Like food for instance. Heh.
BTW, why the Lugnut repaint Hasbro? Just give everyone what they want with this guy already: A leader-class sized toy!
Thundershot:
While Overload is probably an "Armada Series" repaint of the toy, I'd prefer they repainted him BLUE and made him an updated version of the Micromaster.
Ra88:
The only Leo Prime I'd take is the "War Within" version. Transformers/Zoids for the win.
dilectus:
Call me crazy, but I am PUMPED for Universe Legends Wheelie. My Classics Grimlock BEGS for an obnoxious little rhyming buddy. Hope he looks as cool as that fan-made toy I saw years ago.
Robogeek28:
C'mon Hasbro, use some Cybertron molds that HAVEN'T been repainted yet! MGX: Quote:

Then again, maybe the Voyager is pegwarming because fans thought he wasn't big enough. Maybe the Leader class Lugnut would sell...

As for thread related... did I just read legends Rodimus? Nice.
I'm psyched about Waspinator... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be a cybertron mold and not a BB repaint!!
Silent_Magnus:
I don't really get why he's not selling.
For me, he's tied with probably Oil SLick for favorite animated decepticon toy.
Although that'll probably change once I get Leader Class Megatron or Voyager Blitzwing.

Ravenxl7:
Atomic Lugnut sounds interesting. All the others are figures we already know about. Depending on what he looks like, I might actually get the Lugnut repaint, but for some reason I keep on pictureing the mold in Toxitron's color scheme, which is something I wouldn't buy. I also might get Wreck-Gar, depending on who out of the new characters in Season 3 actually get toys and what other repaints we get out of the line. I'll probably also get Waspinator. As for the others, I'm already planning on getting Wheelie, but really none of the rest interests me.
ponn01:
Preordered a couple things. The two animated deluxes and Universe Legends set with cosmos and wheelie. Not going to pay 30 bucks for wreckgar though, another blitzwing markup fiasco, we are finding this quick enough in stores now and through HTS. In fact they may put them up for preorder on HTS with the new code still working.
I can hold off on the universe repaints to, though i'm one of the few that actually liked the Armada Overload mold.
Caterwaul:
Oooh. Want pics!
Especially of Cosmos. And...*cough* Wheelie
Granted, it'd be hard to make a WORSE Wheelie then the original G1 version.

the overlord trailer could work well with the various animated primes and even classics prime, colours depending. I also like that mould.
RedAlert Rescue:
I'd like him as The Fallen personally.

Anyone got a clue what Universe Legends Rodimus looks like?

Drake:
The Universe Wheelie doesn't look all that bad. There's a pic of both modes in the current TF Collector Club Magazine along with Universe Hotshot and Dinobot. Comos looks awsome. Rodimus looks good, he's not as nice as the deluxe figure from the classics line though.

LightningZERO:
Leo Prime sounds interesting. Just hope the color is not as bad as the Legend class

Takara_destron:
Atomic Lugnut? I havent even got the original one yet.
Waspinator is good news, and I'll be happy even if Leo Prime is a leobreaker repaint, as I dont have that figure.

That screams "Atomic" to me.
Silent_Magnus:
Definitely picturing Atomic Lugnut in "hot" colors.
Probably meant to represent him after/during performing the POKE.
I wonder if they'll make it an official term in the Bio? That'd be pretty cool.

That'd be pretty cool. | Marty told me at Botcon they're going to try their best to make the P.O.K.E. official somehow... he was just unsure of whether they could actually say "kill" on the show, but toy bios and/or comic books wouldn't be limited by that...

Dropshot:
I had no idea about the Leo Prime and Overload mold, leo prime is definately a leobreaker repaint, but overload could be another character, not just the armada mold.
shroobmaster:
I hope Lugnut got his light-piping fix.
Considering his bio mentions the punch, maybe even a The Punch retool!
AniProwl:
Samurai Prowl and Wreck-Gar will be mine! shroobmaster:
By the way Beasty, bad news.
Lugnut's Punch is officialy called in the bio... the... the...
*ooooooooooh* MEGA-PUNCH! *ooooooooooh*

Though a new mold for Leo Prime (or at least one of the actual BWII molds) would be better than a Leobreaker repaint like the Legends one was. Quote:

Vangelus:
Well, there's a toy I'm buying on name alone. ATOMIC LUGNUT
I dunno what else I can say.

I can't post a pic unfortunately, not allowed.
Wheelie looks good, gives me an armada Sparkplug feel.
These animated listings are WAY old. Other sites confirmed this listing back in like,march or something.
