Same here...she is an amazing toy and im so glad I got the blue and green KO repaints as they are so worth it

 

oooh, I would really like to get those too... ebay is the best place you think?

 

My Animated Arcee arrived today, can't stop posing her , she is fantastic  

 

No I doubt it, Taobao was cheaper for me.

All the best

Just started watching this series with my kids. Loving the aesthetic and story so far.

 

I personally rate Animated as the (best) transformers cartoon series....

Stories, animation, characters all a win.

 

I think it was absolutely the the best storyline to date, and I'm including G1/Beast Wars/TFPrime.

Introduced great new characters (Lockdown, Lugnut, Bulkhead, Sentinel Prime), had great new storylines, Optimus didn't die, great potential for future seasons.

 

Heartily agree with all these statements! ^^^

You and the kids in for a great treat!! I need to rewatch from S1 again myself.

 

THIS!!!...I would love some more 3rd party luv for ATF...especially for some of the fembots in the AA books...so many great toys that need to be made for such a wonderful version of TF

 

Watched the first three episodes. Great characters. My daughters likes the Sari girl. Starscream was a bad ass wow! Megatron's head being used to make robots...hmmmm where have I seen that before  


Which toys from this series would you recommend for an 8 year old girl to start? Nothing too expensive. Will try and get them at the next toy show.

 

ya Bay Stole it!

but for an 8yo girl: First, I say Arcee, she should be around $40 or less. Then Deluxe Bumblebee. Maybe Sentinel or Soundwave Voyager or deluxe Optimus. I'd steer away from the Activators because they're sort of fragile. The seekers are okay.

Deluxe Ratchet would be fun. Blitzwing is finicky.
Blurr is borderline, getting him in car mode is a little tricky.

Love Lockdown nice and solid and simple, but he doesn't come up in the show till later and he's a mean bad guy XD

 

Warning if you go with Arcee: The way her sword handles are designed means that, eventually, her thumbs WILL break off. I've trimmed down the tabs a bit on mine, but only after I had to perform a bit of superglue surgery.

 

same here

but what a great toy for a girl! Pretty simple to transform too.

Wait... does my Magnus look that awesome??? BRB... gonna check...


LOL.

wait...

 

Agreed! Animated is the TF series that just keeps giving.

 

Wow! I didn't even know that UM could do some of those poses!

Amazing pictures of an amazing toy!

 

 
WOW.
I like the regal close-up of his face the best. Looks like it came straight from the show.

BTW, I'm excited to have one of my grails on the way. I will delight in showing it (or, more accurately, THEM) off when they get here  

 

I sorta already shared, but here's more pics from my Beauty & the Beast photo shoot



KILT MODE!
