    I'll believe it once the store sightings (or alternatively, web-store appearances) start rolling in. I'd even buy MudBulky if the distribution system can get it to me.

    I dont see why they cant just throw these up on HTS.com. If a store doesnt want to carry them, then cut the middle man and sell them themselves.

    Finally a chance to have a Starscream, thundercracker and skywarp in the same line. well i have the movie/rotf version of the seeker trio but it's conflicted with the fact rotf starscream looks nothing like thundercracker ans skywarp head wise.

    ...And if they can release Thundercracker and Mudbuster Bulkhead, maybe they can still get Wingblade Prime and Blackout

    I will buy a mudbuster bulkhead. That's a underappreciated mold and a varient would be cool.

    Thundercracker is understandably the desirable one for that wave. We might only see them distributed at hasbrotoyshop and closeout retailers.
    They are sitting in a warehouse somewhere.
    checklist!

    -mudbuster bulkhead
    -Thundercracker
    -Blackout
    -Hydrodive Bumblebee
    -Power Armor Optimus Prime
    - Ironhide
    - Rodimus

    We still didn't receive Cybertron Mode Ratchet & Arcee in mass retail in Quebec, I don't have my hope up for Ironhide/Rodimus & Thundercracker/Mudbuster Bulkhead. :mad 

    And instead of a useless repaint of Blukhead, its should had been Blackout...

    I'll probably get both of these two if they come out since while they're not my most must-have repaints, I want to support the line so they'll make Wingblade and Blackout. Plus, they are good molds.

    Takara is doing such a good job with animted. Hasbro should take note of them. Well i just bought a skywarp on saturday for $13 at walmart just release the figure hasbro. We all know you are most unlikely not going to release blackout. So glad my aunt is buying me the takara one because it has more paint apps the hasbro's which we will never see.

    I hope Thundercracker gets released in some fashion. I need him to complete my Animated seeker collection.

    K-mart has still been putting out their cases of voyagers and deluxes. The ones locally kept their shelf space, and then put out cases of both voyagers (Shockwave and Skywarp) and deluxes (Freeway Jazz and Electrostatic Soundwave cases).

    I hadn't been in my local Meijer in a couple of months and I was surprised to find that they still have pegs for Animated Deluxes and Activators (they didn't have any Animated Voyagers, but I didn't look to see if they had shelf tags for them). They weren't even clearanced. I thought Toys-R-Us was the last holdout on Animated.

    of all the animated figures to release, who cares about those when there are new molds yet to be seen on the US shelf.

    *raises hand* Any Animated is good.

    And really? You're asking who cares about completing a Starscream/Skywarp/Thundercracker set?
