    I gotta say, I like these much more than I thought I would. Passing on the tiny bulkhead and Megs. Gotta get SS for sure. Dinobots, yes. Where is Grimlock here anyway?

    Ahh, I must have missed that. Right as I looked at the pic on the bottom of the box I thought Lockdown and compared that pic to one of Lockdown in bot mode and they looked almost the exact same, tires under the feet, chest shape, shoulder pads, narrow body, arm and leg joints, etc.

    Cool pics. Leader Megs looks awesome. Can't believe I have to wait until August to get him. Oh, well. More time to save!

    Looking forward to vids of the Activators as they will be the only toys from the line I will be getting (for my 3-year-old boy). But everything else is still total win.

    That bit has been known since the New York Toy Fair, and all the Hasbro press releases and such that followed... as a matter of fact, nothing Animated wasn't new or at least not brought up before, and yet Silverbolt appears all of a sudden with the Universe stuff, entirely unannounced? Weird.

    That's not a knock against the Aussie Toy Fair reports, mind you, just a bit odd for Hasbro to do.

    I think i'm going to pass on Roll Out Prime. Would like his axe though. Oh well, looks like Voyager Prime and Leader Megatron will be more in scale with each other anyways.

    Seconded!

    Bulkhead, too. Glad to see that his... "air torpedoes" (is that what that says?) are removable.

    It cracks me up that AU's cartoon debut date is 5 months after the US's, but the toys are still getting released there first. Yep... it's hilarious.

    Thank you. Beat me to it.

    That's some impressive paint. :p  :D 

    Holy crap, it's ams! He's alive!

    Sorry to hear you're not digging Animated. :(  Your wallet's probably happier, though....

    I must admit, I want to get them all. Rollout Command Optimus Prime battle axe looks huge. I guess I need to get two of these for my boys. Leader Bulkhead with headmaster is just awesome.

    So Bulkhead has electronic conversion sounds? and he talks? Well, that tears it; first thing I do when I get him is yank those batteries out of him.

    The torpedoes are removable which is good news to me, but too bad the buzzsaw isn't. :(

    He only talks if you press a little button. Bulkhead and Megatron have the same electronic features.

    Each of his rotor blade becomes a sword. Or they can just hang on his back while in robot mode.

    Also, if you compare this photo with u.s. toyfair shots, megs main gun can be worn on either arm.
