MattMoylan:
Lil Lugnut and Biddy Bulkhead.

On a side note, noticed that nobody in animated seems to have a blaster. Boo.

I ask you: If transformers don't have guns, HOW are they supposed to shoot each other?

Simian:
Clever as always......

transmetal2dinobot:
brilliant as always

Blitzwing's cannon-back, Lugnut's P.O.K.E., Megatrons blaster, Starscreams blasters, and Ultra Magnus' completely insane military arsenal. That's a lot of nobodies
darkmgmstr:
i never noticed Animated TFs didn't have blasters...
Wiggyof09:
Now thats freaking funny.
Belgrath:
Hehe
Rodentus prime:
I like the traditional 'stand in front of one another shooting and missing every time'
SPLIT LIP:
FRIGGIN' HILARIOUS. I'm getting both Voyager Bulk's and Lugnut now. Freakin' funny as hell, Matt.

Now imagine Lugnut bonking Bulkhead overthe head with his mace... I love tiny tfs. I love how both of those guys are drawn.

True dat. Besides, Animated Tfs decided for a change that savagely beating the living shit out of eachother just sounded more appealing.
Silent_Magnus:
They can still shoot stuff at each other, just not lasers.
Wrecking balls, electricity, Fire retardant foam, ect.

Although I'm ok with artistic freedom.
SarahMobius:

Lucky it's not Galaxy Force or Animated would look like that >.> Ya know, show based off toys, Japan.... never mind no one's going to get that.

Blasters seem to be reserved for Decepticons in Animated (unless you count BB's stingers I guess), which makes sense. I like that most of the Autobots have more interesting weapons (GIANT LIGHTNING ROD OF DOOM, giant Axe, shurikens... not original, but freakin sweet all the same).

Fun stuff Matt, keep it up!
RandomFerret:
Remember when Beast Machines tried the no-blasters route? Bob Skir got death threats!
Team Jetfire:


The way that Prowl is drawn reminds me of beast Machines Rattap, which makes even more sense considering the size issue.

I think it's that whole "Good guys don't use guns" kick in cartoons. Though the Animated bots do have some cool weapons, they're still no match for a good ol' blaster imo.

Having Blasters never stopped them from doing that before
dak:
very true!. lol!!!

Autobots have safe weapons, decepticons have a blaster/cannon weapon.
Smasher:
Very funny picture.

I guess the robots don't have the traditional guns that you hold in your hands, but they sure shoot a lot of things at each other anyway.
Spiderus Prime:
I like you do with Mini Bulkhead!
trebleshot:


Awww, aren't they cute?

Actually, a couple of days ago I had all my Animated toys posed for a group shot and was telling my wife about Bulkhead and painting. I pointed over at the table where he was in the middle of the group and said, "He's the green one," to which she replied, "You mean the one I can barely see?"
dark69:
hahaha i love that
Eric:
Shotoman:
Okay, first, when do the Animated toys actually come out stateside? I want an Animated collection too, without having to Ebay for 'em.

Second, is the scale really that out of whack? I mean, I don't have much problem with Bulkhead being smaller than he should be with some other guys being bigger--scale is a little overrated IMO--but if it's something as extreme as Rattrap's absolutely huge size compared to the freakin' leaders that would be a little annoying.
defstar:
Never noticed this before...we need blasters...

Good job Matt...
Otispq:
yep, Prime needs a big gun!

Are you kidding? LOL Megatron alone has a big fusion cannon.

Then there's Starscream and Blitzwing. Everyone else either has melee weapons (Prime, Prowl, Bulkhead, Magnus, Jazz, Sentinel) or powers (Bumblebee, Ratchet, Soundwave, Blackarachnia, Lugnut).

TFA runs the gamut.
Railguard:
lol

It's not like that at all, Matt just made them smaller to put more emphisis on the joke that they were smaller than their regular selves compared to others.

Yeah, so far TF:A has given us a wide variety of different weapons and abilities for the characters. And don't forget that Ultra Magnus probably has more guns than a gun store in Texas. (I say "probably" because even though he has them on his toy, he has yet to use them in the show)

I still think Prime's axe is the greatest weapon in TF history.

June 22, according to Hasbro. Though they may pop up here and there earlier, depending on distribution.

For some of the toys, it is. To give you an idea, deluxe Bumblebee is taller than voyager Bulkhead (minus the back panels). And Bumblebee's head is about twice the size of Bulkhead's, although that could just be a refection of the characters.

But as Split Lip said, they're not all like that. So far, it just seems to be Bulkhead and Lugnut. And Bulkhead's problem is really a non-issue considering the leader class version due out later this year.
mordecai6:
oh man that was beyond awesome! definetely not something to read in the middle of class
plowking:
at Lugnut

Johnator:
These actually look better than the real show.
Rhinox555:
What did you do to prowl´s face?
Anyway,nice way to poke fun at the little guys,it's absolutely dreaful that the biggest characters get the shortest toys in the entire line. The bulkhead toy is still pretty cool,havent got lugnut yet but i bet he's awesome.

Why do you keep posting that over and over again?
Autovolt 127:
Bulkhead is going to be a leader class can't say that for lugnut.

I'm getting both Voyagers Lugnut and blukhead.
Optimus62:
freaking brilliant!!! Great work as always.
Smkscrn GT:
Awesome as always, Matt!
Bahamut Prime:
Heeheeheeheehee!!! That, I gotta watch and see!
Katamari Prime:

We don't need no Steeenking blasters.
Insane Galvatron:
I get the joke, except that in the toys, Prowl is a deluxe and is smaller than the other two who are voyagers. Why is Prowl shown so much bigger than the other two?
saberconvoy:
LoL They are so funny. man now its the opposite.

In vehicle mode, Prowl is definitely smaller than Bulkhead, but in robot mode, Prowl is taller (though not as wide). I don't have Lugnut, but I believe he's about the same as Bulkhead.

Because it's a cartoon, it's fake, not real, for giggles and plus, it just emphisises on the funnies.


Have you ever watched Little Britain with the tiny man?
Enigma2K2:
Yeah, I have a friend that snagged Bulkhead and Bumblebee... and he's taller than Bulkhead....

That REALLY bothered me...

You're one of those "it's a kid's movie" people, aren't you?
Poho:
