    Quote: All hail mighty MEGATRON!

    Lugnut's bio:

    LUGNUT has absolute faith in MEGATRON, and that makes him one of the most dangerous DECEPTICONS. He is fanatic in his service to the DECEPTICON cause, and is unquestioning in following the orders of his commander. His dedication is backed up by incredible strength and fighting skills that led to him being feared and respected across Cybertron. Each punch from his powerful hands carries the force of a small bomb, so the only way to survive a fight with him is to avoid ever letting him hit you. Unfortunately, he's almost as fast as he is strong.

    Galactic abilities:

    - Known as the "Kaon Krusher" on Cybertron.

    - Mace is powered by a star core.

    - Learned dirty fighting in the Grand Arena.

    Shoutouts on box:

    Plane mode:


    -Poseable cannon turrets

    -bombs open to reveal turbolasers

    Robot mode:


    -Rear Stabilizers become Power Mace

    -Slam base to autoconvert into power mace

    -Mechanized auto-conversion


    The teal/grayish bits on the final version seem to be a little more rich and saturdated on the final version, but that's the only difference I can see.

    Anyone know how to get a full-sized photo up on photobucket? I upload the larger pic, but it compresses it to be too small to make out the details.

    Hhhmmm... so they're using the same bios for Hasbro's site after all!
    I guess that means any character that shows up there is probrably getting some kind of toy!
    Awesome!

    I'm hoping that is the case, because it would definitively say that we are getting a Swoop toy, which has not been confirmed yet, correct?

    This is brilliant. IMO Animated has become the pinnacle of what's possible with Transformers. I love the 2007 movie line but they can still be fairly complicated to transform. These appear to be simple and yet still manage to mirror the likeness from the show.

    Most likely wave 3 imo. wave 2 (Blackaracnia, Ratchet and V Op) we've been seeing in package pics for a few weeks now.

    And he is Niiiiiiiiiiiice, looks so much better fully finished.

    I'd say when is this going on ebay but there's not much chance I could afford it anyway.

    Yeah I like the transformations for animated. They look simple but at the same time fun to transform. The movie ones were jsut too complex in most cases, can't ever remember all the bloody steps to transform then. Optimus was the only one which was complex BUT made sense.

    Bring on animated, I can't wait. Just hope everyone will be able to get what they want and nobody will hoard them. Not like the movie line and short of stock.

    These toys look really cool. I just got my Hasbro.com mag in the mail and the animated toys look great. I'm surprised that Prime is only 9.99 and Starscrea and Megatron are 19.99, thats just wierd. I'm tempted to order some but I have to think about it though because I still want the Universe toys and I only have so much money to go around.
