Temporary display for my entire Animated collection. Tomorrow I’ll get them all in bot mode and moved.


P.S. I also have deluxe Snarl, voyager Sunstorm, Activators Bandit Lockdown, Bumblebee, Ratchet and Soundwave, and legends class Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Prowl and Starscream (not pictured).

All I need now is deluxe class Blackarachnia and Rodimus Minor (aka Hot Rod), voyager class Blackout, Blitzwing and Skywarp, and leader class Bulkhead Megatron.

 

Exactly, they’re not bad for the price I got them  
Plus, they’re still the ONLY figures like this. Unfortunately, I get the impression that 3P stuff based on Animated has never sold well, so none are willing to tackle producing better figures. I’d love to have figures of the Animated Witwicky family, plus villains like Professor Princess and Angry Archer.

 

Yes, I need more display shelves but for now......



Soon I'll add leader Bulkhead and Megatron, voyager Blitzwing and Skywarp, deluxe Blackarachnia and Rodimus Minor/Hot Rod, and eventually... Blackout!

Oh, and of course, give Optimus Prime the proper show accurate axe! If anyone is selling one, please let me know!

 

Crossposting this from the Siege thread but if you're dying for new Animated toys I cannot recommend the Toyhax Bulkhead conversion kit for Siege Hound enough. Siege Hound is currently in-stock on Hasbro Pulse and he makes an excellent G1-style Bulkhead to throw on pretty much any G1 or IDW shelf, or he can pass as a "cadet" Bulkhead for your Aligned or Animated shelf. Just a great pick up overall, if you like Animated as much as I do you'll love this.

Is that a picture of you? You look so...relatable. I just feel it.

 

Also, who knew Sari was fit IRL??!!??

 

Quick picture of Animated Optimus Prime:

 

Yes, that's me (on the right  )
I like to think I'm relatable...
My wife's aunt always says I'm very photogenic, but she's never seen my current drivers license photo...

Yeah, Tara Strong is an absolute smokeshow  

 

Ah good stuff. Always love when this thread resurfaces.

Lockdowns

 

Been going through my Animated bins on Instagram, here’s some non-bumblebee yellow characters.

 

Just realized this was my only Animated still on my shelves.

 

Is this Animal Crossing?

No lockdowns or anything like that have been necessary here at all, so I’ve never tried this craze — but now I might have to! So whadda ya do, shoot the other players and steal their loot or something?

 

That’s something very random that I never expected to see.

 

I wanna show a some appreciation to the figure that got me into collecting Transformers.

I had only been focusing on just Starscream. That's all I would buy. But then I got Animated Ratchet as a birthday present. And I just fell in love with it.

I loved the look of it. I loved the transformation. It was fun. I was blown away by how close it was to screen accuracy (this was during the time of Bayverse transformers).

And I loved that face. So much personality.



Needless to say, after Ratchet, I went looking for other Transformers Animated figures. And that just opened me up to going back to look for other cool figures in the Generations line, and I've been collecting ever since.

 

Another favorite of mine was Sentinel Prime. The blue is great and really pops.

Look at that proud, prodigious chin.


My favorite part though is easily his altmode. I love that snowplow truck.

 

Limp wrist alert!
