General Tekno:
...god damn you and your hype machine, Kickback.
Why post early if you have nothing?
...or is this an attempt to SECURE an interview?
If you guys do one... PUT IT ON WTF@TFW!
Seriously... that would be sweet.
Bgrngod:
Wow, great article. Cool that he took the time to give such in depth answers. Even better that he is obviously such a big fan. Gotta respect that.
Deceptigtar:
awesome animated kcikback and PAW PAW, I am from MI too, not PAW PAW but always pass it back to visit family.
MekaGojira3k:
So, Ratbat or Galvatron will be in Season 3? Have either of these been rumored because I must have missed it? Cool interview and like the Kickback design. Season 3 sounds extremely epic.
girafeswordsman:
Holy shit does that Kickback look awesome. And is it just me or does it seem Rodimus' squad is a much bigger part of the story than we thought?
Hollywood Hoist:
Great interview, that guy seems like a class act. It's nice to know a true fan is behind Animated.
NGW:
Awesome interview. Really interesting stuff.

That was fantastic. I loved all the tidbits without getting too much information. Thank you mr wyatt!
Tekkaman Blade:
From the sound of it season is upping the ante. I'm definately looking forward to it.
Golden Age:
How old is he?
samtastic:
Wow! That was an awesomazing interview. Totally informative, amusing and inspiring! If anyone doubted that TFA is in good hands, here is the proof.
And that kickback is da bomb!!!
Me likey so muchy.
Ktulu:
Excellent stuff

Me thinks the first one, given the reference to "Chosen One". The rest I think you've hit the nail on the head.
Seriously, TFA Season 3 shall be the most EPIC thing in the history of Transformers. Though ROTF might be giving it some competition. I'm not sure I'll be able to handle the sudden outburst of awesome.
Oh, and the Kickback designs are sick. It'd be cool if they make it into the show for a brief cameo - or maybe a bigger part! It'd be the icing on the 'Kickback = awesome' cake.

Yeah, that was a clever little half-spoiler there.
My money's on Ratbat, given that we know there's a new Soundwave toy coming out with a different minion. Ratbat's altmode could be an amp...after all, it's still a rectangle!
Bumblebee:
Reading this interview makes me appreciate, respect, and admire Derrik Wyatt SO MUCH MORE. I mean, the guy was always awesome to me- but after this interview, it's 10x the awesome. I hope I get to run into this guy at a convention someday. I'd love to have his autograph XD.

I was actually leaning towards Galvatron until you pointed that out. Good thinking.
DestronGenerals:
we're in such good hands with derrick, marty, and the rest of this crew...
highlander3000:
Anyone needing a name for their band might consider
"Grasshopper of Death"
Paradigm-Shift Prime:
Yeah lots of new characters!
Yup, I'm looking forward to the new season/toys for animated. I thought the cartoon was really coming into its own by the last few episodes of s2.
Starscreamer95:
Well he got my attention!
SilverDragon:
He has been trying to work Sludge into TFA. I think I love him now.
Poho:
i lost interest when i opened the thread to find a link that lead to a link.
GAUGE0001:
All I gotta say is after reading this:
"DW: Well, from an art director’s point of view, we added two new TFA crew members to help me out in season 3. Our former director, Irineo Maramba is doing amazing character designs for us this season. Between Irineo and myself, we probably expanded the cast by two or three times. Irineo is a big Transformers fan too, and he got to add a bunch of his old favorites in to the show. We also added a full time color stylist, Claire Lenth, to our team. With Claire’s help we were able to do many more special color scenes and control the FX color a little more. One example I can point to is Blurr’s FX. We were never quite happy with how his speed powers came out in season 2, but he is really amped up for the new season. He moves as fast as he talks now."
And this:
"DW: Other than that you can expect to see the Chosen One face off against the great Decepticon General of Destruction in a desperate battle where the young leader is hopelessly out gunned. You will see Autobot scientists, under orders from the Elite Guard, conduct a high risk experiment to merge Decepticon technology into the bodies of Autobot twins. Witness the traitor on Cybertron stop at nothing to destroy anyone who tries to get word of his treachery to the Autobot High Council. Meanwhile the poor bot who is being hunted as a traitor will see his luck go from bad to worse, and then things really get ugly. Autobots we are close to will be forced to relive painful memories of their past. Both Friends and foes will return. You will see characters from nearly every previous Transformers series. There will be more new characters than I am physically able to draw in time to meet my deadlines!"
I am completely psyched to see the third season, and I am very glad the Animated crew has expanded to assist Derrick in bringing it all together. (GO, TEAM!!!)
General Tekno:
Did nobody else notice that tidbit he dropped re: "One of Blackarachnia's experiments"?
Seems to me he may have inadvertedly spoiled something for us...

Wow, the button on your mouse must be REALLY stiff if it's that hard to push in.
Snowcat:
Derrick is made of awesome. I was stoked for season 3 before, now I just can't wait.

Yeah, I caught that too.
Could also give a bit of an (expected) idea as to how Wasp makes the turn to Waspinator.
salmonman78:
well, I am offically ready for S3 to hit. Can't wait for Wasp and the two new teams, the inevitable cybertron episode now dealing with Shockwave.
Oh and if he manages to squeeze in Sludge and a insecticon, I think I might just

Yeah, I was gonna point that out.
So far, so good
! And, I got mentioned!
Fort Max:
That was a fantastic interview, great guy, good answers, lots of info. Season 3 sounds like it's going to rock from start to finish.
swarlock:
I have complete faith that Season 3 will be awesome.
Aernaroth:
Great interview, Kickback!
Takara_destron:
Great interview, and Id love to see a Masterforce show up in TFA! And Deathsaurus....please let that happen
Silent_Magnus:
It's wonderful that we have such a huge Transformers fan working on the show.

What I particularly liked was this point:

All I have to say about that is: fantastic. That's exactly the direction I'd hoped they would take that plotline; a lot of people were speculating that Shockwave's cover might have just been blown, but thinking about it, it's the word of some repair-bot scrubs against that of the Elite Guard intelligence officer. Of
course he's going to attempt to do a cover-up...this ought to be really good.
hutchprime:
Awesome interview! Thanks KB et al.
Spekkio:
As good as Mr. Wyatt is, I'll bet even he couldn't make Twin Twist cool.
(That in-joke is still funny, right?)
Railguard:
Good interveiw, lots of cool inside info. Thanks!!
Sideswipe80:
Great interview. I wish season 3 was next month instead of the spring.
MGX:
Derrick Wyatt and Michael Bay are like night and day!
I just can't get over how Wyatt can watch TFTM and get inspiration from it while Bay can't stand it.
It's simply amazing how different they are...
Prowl:
BAD-FOKING-ASS Interview Kicky, especially the shameless pitches of KICKBACK, heheh.
I can't wait for next season. Finally our favorite pasttime in the hands of someone who "gets" it.
And Speaking of which, Excellent Sig, MGX.
I Love Animated.
Fosterlager:
'Grasshopper of death' is within the character limits of the custom user title field. Hint.
Ravage1976:
Hmm so Warpath is like military police eh, guess he will be involved in the whole Shockwave storyline. Mention of the Autobot high council is interesting and increases the likelyhood that the A**** T**** clue from s250 is more likely Alpha Trion than Astrotrain. And Black Arachnias experiments I guess since she has had no luck with making herself not a freak she has decided the next best thing is to make a few more which was largely what I was expecting I wonder if/who she gets her hands on besides poor Wasp, Spittor probably I wonder if anyone else ends up on the recieving end?
Interesting stuff and yeah spring 09 cant get here fast enough.
Darkspeed:
Daaaaaaaamn Kickback, way to go scoring such a great interview! My excitement for the series had weakened a little, but now I'm all pumped to see what happens next!
Squints:
Transformers Animated: Victory? Transformers Animated: Neo? As long as it's not Transformers Animated: Zone and gets cancelled after one episode, fine by me.
Can't wait to see the Chosen One go toe-to-toe with the General of Destruction.
Tman978:
Season 3 is taking too long man. Sounds way more serious
Eric:
Animated Kickback? Damn, our Kickback's enjoying this, isn't he?
Season 3 is gonna be one helluva of a season.
