The ravage in robot mode looks like a proto - he's in proper colors in the vehicle mode pic.
Gouka:
Cheetor's robot mode looks terrible. I like the cat mode though.
shibamura_prime:
Legends Cosmos? That's all I need to hear. WIN.
General Tekno:
A new Animated Soundwave instrument?
Who wants to bet that'll be released with a Soundwave repaint? And be Ravage?
Powersa:
Purple repaint Leader Megs looks interesting
Universe Cyclonus will look great next to Gavaltron

The tape mode has him as black. I'm guessing the dog mode is the test-shot or whatever.

UltraDevmodious:
shockwave looks ridiculous…wtf?! Haha
I’m feelin hound for the 25th though.
And what the fuck…a leader repainted megatron….jesus h christ.
Takara_destron:
Hound w/ Ravage and Cyclonus /w Nightstick look incredible, as does Longarm/Shockwave and Blurr.
Cheetor and Inferno are pretty good, not in the same league as the above though.
Legends Cosmos FTW!
Leader Megs repaint is cool, but will be a pass. Can't afford leader repaints.
Dark Magnus:
Here's hoping we see updates of Deathsauras and Overlord in the 25th line. Also, Star Saber and Victory Leo please.
Thundershot:
Let's see... counting legends & botcon figures...
1984 Minibots
Bumblebee CHECK
Cliffjumper CHECK
Huffer CHECK
Brawn CHECK
Gears
Windcharger
1984 Cars
Mirage CHECK
Hound CHECK
Sunstreaker CHECK
Sideswipe CHECK
Ironhide CHECK
Ratchet CHECK, sorta
Wheeljack
Jazz CHECK
Trailbreaker
Bluestreak CHECK
1985 Minibots
Powerglide CHECK
Comos CHECK
Beachcomber CHECK
Warpath RUMORED
Seaspray
1985 Cars
Grapple
Hoist
Red Alert CHECK
Skids
Inferno CHECK
Smokescreen
Tracks
So out of the early Autobot cars and minibots, we've got 11 missing ones. Then another two that really should be made into bigger figures (Jazz and Red Alert) the latter of which is an easy redeco of Sideswipe. Smokescreen is another easy one and we were pretty much told to expect him eventually at Botcon. Grapple should be made out of Inferno. If they make Trailbreaker and/or Hoist, the other should be made. If they do Skids & Tracks, they should make Classics Road Rage and Crosscut, just for the hell of it. We can't have JPN exclusives? We'll make our own. Look what we've done with Sunstorm... Wheeljack, Windcharger, and Gears... hm... we'll see...
Though I'd really like to see more later guys like Bludgeon or Banzai-Tron.

Ah. Thanks. I saw the thumbnail and I was all "Wha? Is that a repaint with Howlback?"
General Tekno:
SWEET... they're considering Leader LUGNUT.
I'd buy him.

Judging by how the current Lugnut is selling (read: barely), I will be stunned if this ever happens.

Hell, yeah, I do. I was told he was coming, and the dude's been right about everything else. No news about Mixmaster and Scrapper either, I noticed. Well, crap.
UltraDevmodious:
okay i need to clarify...longarm shockwaves alt mode looked retarded....i like the bot mode!

He's not selling?
Huh.
And any idea how long it'll be before we get show floor pics?
Hound & Mirage:
no wreck-gar pics...
sigh.
dark69:
damn no Arcee news

His altmode is the same as the one on the show... and I can clearly see how it turns into a tank. Retract the crane piece, fold down the barrel, and extend the treads.
I hope his robot mode compresses though - he's too gangly for Longarm right now. Right for Shockwave, but not Longarm.
Fort Max:
And it's over.
Sounds like there was more shown at Botcon.
Only big new toy shown was Voyager Inferno and I am seriously wondering if that's a repaint of an old toy.
Silent_Magnus:
Disappointing that we did not get to see Wreck-Gar or HotShot.
Both of which were shown at Botcon.
Powersa:
Cheetor looks nice but I'm happy with 6" titanium
Joe Moore:
Fantastic coverage by our own Tony_B.
jazz4ever:
...i am dreaming someone pinch me
G1Wheeljack:
Thanks for all the pics Tony, I just wish we had gotten pics of Wreck-Gar
WhiteRabbit:
Oh hell yes Beachcomber and Cosmos FTMFW!

I thought there was just 1 altmode, guess it could have two.
No wonder it looks messy if they're trying to cram variant bot and alt modes into it!
shroobmaster:
Shockwave looks awesome, Blurr too and Shadow Blade Megatron's color scheme isn't bad either, reminds me of BW Megatron.
Cyclonus is MINE!
Radioactive Ravage:
Very disappointing. I was expecting more pics of both Longarm and Shockwave, Wreck-Gar, the other new Animated stuff, etc...
I'm SO SICK of Robot Heroes. Why show them when you have way cooler stuff like Animated and Classics 2.0 to display? MEH!

Maybe my area is atypical, but I've been to probably a dozen stores that carry Animated Voyagers and Lugnut always outnumbers everyone else. My Toys R Us has over 15 of them as of this morning, with no Grimlocks in sight.
Luggy is like this generation's Cybertron Mudflap.
girafeswordsman:
That was really dissapointing.No real Animated news and no "movie clip" which if i rember correctly we were promised. Way to drop the ball Hasbro....
shatteredirony:
I think they all look pretty decent not that im buying them all and is it me or does Inferno look very similar to the Energon version just with a few more right angle corners

Nope. Its new.
General Tekno:
So... who here's hoping that G1 Ravage's weapons fit on the Universe guy?
Thundershot:
Wow... so... only the Botcon people (like me) got to see Hot Shot w/Jolt and Wreck Gar. I'm surprised they didn't show them.
KING KONVOY:
The is a need addition my Black Shelf. Black Megs is a must have! Great repaint!
Doctor Ingenious:
yay for alternators! Can has megatron finally?

That rumor was proven false when they said we won't be seeing anything till maybe November.

I'm pretty sure we were told they should fit at Botcon. He'll also fit into the Classics reissue Soundwave.

Zaraxion1021:
WTF!? Another Repaint of Megatron!! I'll Definitely get a Blurr and LongArm/Shockwave.....

It didn't have the ladder, or the white things next to the head. Instead it was much more boxy, and the overall transformation seems to highly resemble the Energon toy.

At least he's not covered in ice!
By the way, still sad that we didn't Swindle pics :[

They said no teaser, but they said there would be a sneak peek.
Hound & Mirage:
Mere words cannot express my malaise, my crushing disappointment and sense of loss resulting from the lack of Wreck-Gar pics.

It has G1 Inferno's head.
Acid Wing:
Despite the lack of more Animated goodiness, I"m really digging the new Classics/Universe molds, especially Cyclonus, Inferno, Hound & Ravage, and Cosmos! So far, Cheetor looks nice, but I really hope his bot mode is mistransformed...
girafeswordsman:
Anybody know if they are putting new toys out on display?
