Yup - that thread was about the plotline, and once the pic was posted, discussion changed direction pretty significantly.
OmegaScourge
Is that the same Prime as the TF: Cybertron one?

but wow....that really does look totally different from the last three.

I replied to your last post in the other thread with maybe it's just one of the new characters they mention in the synopsis. The military vehicle might be Hound too, I don't know.

Personally? I can't wait. These movie toys are great, but it'll be nice to delve into some good ol' fashion block-formers after all this realistic goodness.

I guess, but the title was pretty wide open...

Hound huh? I never really thought about him... you may be onto something though, he does look more Hound-ish than Ironhide. Ok, so from what we can tell, we've got:

-Optimus Prime
-Bumblebee
-Hound
-Prowl
-Ratchet

Not a bad lineup by any means, pretty good actually.
Valkysas
bumblebee looks pretty damn cool. don't care much for the other four designs though.

but I really cant wait to see the toys. I bet they're gonna be cool as hell.
Primus
The military vehicle is "Bulkhead".
Dark_Convoy
Still looks like Teen Titans.
Bryan
After an initial negative reaction, I'm going to wait and see. No way to tell yet if I'll enjoy it, and while I don't care for the designs, I'm willing to wait and see how they're implemented.
Fosterlager
I love it. Cannot wait to see them in motion!
shockwave2005
You know what? I like this.

It's definitely different and I don't know how well they will translate into figures that I like, but if the writing for the show is good then I will by all means be a fan of this show.
OmegaScourge
OPTIMUS PRIME - semi
BUMBLEBEE - yellow car
PROWL - bike
BULKHEAD - tank or something
RATCHET - ambulance

now i wanna see what the Decepticons look like.
Drake
Who's the Cycle dude?
Ravenxl7
Actually, from what we've seen so far, I'm liking it, and I'll reserve my final judment for actually seeing the show. I can't wait to see at least some prototypes of the toys. Hopefully they will be at Botcon, so that I can see peoples pictures of them.

I see Prime and Bumblebee maybe Ratchet/Ironhide but who the hell are the Millartary trucks and the Motorcycle?

Altought Bumblebee and Prime are the awesome.
Ktulu
May I add once more I hate that it's called TF: Animated, as if Transformers are just now becoming a cartoon property or something. I feared TFs would bend to the influence of the movie the same way X-Men did in the comics, and it looks to me like that is happening.

Set on Earth in the near future in Detroit, the alien TRANSFORMERS are thrust into a world populated by humans and automatons. As visitors to Earth, the TRANSFORMERS--OPTIMUS PRIME, BUMBLEBEE, PROWL, BULKHEAD and RATCHET--work in the human world, interacting with the ‘natives’ in exciting and humorous ways. TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED has been created to showcase the heroic AUTOBOTS working together to battle the evil DECEPTICONS and save Earth with kid-relatable plot lines filled with humor, distinctive character personalities, and dynamic action.

I'm guessing it's Bulkhead too since the press release listed Optimus, BB, Ratchet(all of who are pretty obvious), Prowl & Bulkhead. The bike seems more like Prowl as does Bulkhead for the Military vehicle.
redsquadron
I'm intruiged and see the potential.
I really should get used to being in a minority shouldn't I?
littleiron
So.... are they going to repaint Cybertron Prime?

You and me both
ANDROID PRIME
Im so curious / excited about what these toys will be like. will the human badguys transform? or will they just have action figures
Sso02V
Ratchet looks like he's been packing away the energon burgers, and Bulkhead has tank treads on his feet despite his alt mode having wheels. I like the looks of Bumblebee and Prowl though, can't wait to see the toys.
OmegaScourge
Theme Song from Puffy Ami Yumi, English version and Japanese version
vincheng2k5
I actually like the Teen Titans-esque vibe I'm getting from these designs. It'll be interesting to see how this translates into toys, though.
Sideswipe83
So are they fighting evil super beings or Decepticons? The Sci FI article said superbeings, but that article from Businesswire states Decepticons

I can see it now, the return of the Pretenders
Galvatron397
Oh ok. Bulkhead huh? Weird, the only time I've ever heard that name besides Cybertron... was Cybertron. Shoud've been Hound...
Smasher
Wow -this is a much better picture than the first promo shot they showed of Prime. While I don't like the style all that much -this picture does show some production values (of which the prior picture showed none) and I am more willing to give the show a chance.
hurrikane
I'm actually really liking the designs the more I look at them(Bumblebee especially) & am looking forward to the show & the toys. I don't see any movie influence tho. It actually seems very stylized & pretty unique(which I like).
smkspy
Ugh, I was trying to reserve my judgement about this until I watch it or see the toys, but it just keeps getting worse and worse. At least, I'll save money on the toys only having to buy Prime.
Turnpike
OMG BB ISNT A VW BEATLE OMFG!11!11!!

Yeah.. Ratchet looks a lot like his movie counterpart. The rest are ok looking. Still not fond of the style. I might watch an episode or two, but I can't find myself watching the entire series or liking this at all for long..

Interested in how the toys turn out.. Prime looks like Galaxy Convoy.
ANDROID PRIME
why detroit?
Jarodimus
I wasn't crazy about the partial pic of OP before -- too "bendy", I guess -- but this pic looks GREAT! Lots of personality in the depictions. Yes, it's Teen Titans-ish, but I don't see that as a bad thing.

And OP is VERY Star Convoy, so it can't be all bad.
actionfigure73
I get a Batman The Animated Series vibe from this.

Good point, it does look nice and dynamic

I'm sure the animation quality and action will be great. We just have to get used to the designs. After the movie though, we should all have learned a lesson on opening up to more unique looks for these characters eh
1UpCheatachu
This show is going to RULE! I can't wait!!!
Banshee
Wow. Even Bumblebee has a siren.

Not very impressed.
Brave Magnus
Who's the green one? Hound?
Looks funny. Curiosity will make me watch this show.^^

Yeah, they do have a lot more personality with these incarnations. I can just see more expression coming from them, and they do look more like a super hero team and I think that's what they're going for. Color me VERY excited.
GladiatorPrime
Well...its different!
Sso02V
Out of the lot of them, I'm feeling Bulkhead the least. Just looks like a giant balloon designed to take up space in the picture. I'm getting a serious Phil Lamarr vibe from Prowl, and he has Kamina glasses too.
Heat Guy
I find myself liking the looks of this. Of course I'd like to see how they move and transform, but I think it'll be good.

Sideswipe83
Prowl kind of has that Ninja feel to him, looking at him in robot mode. Maybe it is due to the throwing star in his hand, or the fact he is actually wearing sunglasses?
