I just saw this figure...and I must say ...WHOA!!...another cool looking Animated figure....

I did get a Ghost Rider vibe from him though....with a little paint, and some rework....I see Animated Ghost Rider!

 

Too cool.

But it makes me wish that we coulda seen motorcycle Alts...  

 

I think it's a cool looking toy. No matter who it is. Seems a little silly for it not to be Wreckgar though.

 

that means that whatever sideline character that I really like will probably wind up in the .1%

so does anyone think Oil Slick's head bowl actually has water in it?

 

Why not oil?

 

When we saw the first image of 08 BB from the movie toyline some people were surprised that we would get a Deluxed sized figure of BB, some even thought it was just a bad image of Ultimate BB.

How many new Deluxe figures & repaints have there been since 08 BB that were not in the movie?

 

because they wouldn't fill the plastic dome of an action figure with oil.

 

That's really cool, a great deal more promising then what they said at the cons last year.
Thanks for the update.

 

I vote zombie Wheelie.

 

Um yeah thats really a different kettle of fish dude, comparing the animated line and movie line like you are is anti intuitive.

The format of the Animated series more so than any other lends itself well to 'guest appearance' characters this allows for far more characters to appear than what would have been feasable in previous lines so having non-show characters really shouldnt be needed.

The movie is the exact opposite.

I was also basing it of the premise that we were told not all characters would get toys Kickback has now come in and said 99.9% of characters appearing on the show will get toys so Im going to go with everyone who gets a toy (that isnt a straight repaint) will also be in the show.

 

Gar, of course, he's a biker!
How did I not make that connection.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, I look forward to seeing that idea brought to life.

 

It could be mineral oil. That's what they put in those souvenir floaty pens.

 

Any idea if OIL SLICK is related to MELTDOWN?

Maybe MELTDOWN gets a robotic body or something.

 

Agreed.

 

I want to get a clear look at his head, but I'm pretty much sold on this guy. They can't all be Prowls, but that's what I like about him... he's a UNIQUE cycle-bot from Prowl's designs.

 

I was thinking maybe Lockdown?.....just look at both of them...

....or am I reaching for something that aint there?

 

Well there is a good picture on the toyfare website:

That head looks human to me. I am unsure if it could be Prometheus Black ...

Or just a new character... Dunno.

 

I personally think he's a new character. I also don't think he starts out as a human character, though we won't really know till the episode he's in airs. And for some reason that website doesn't work for me at all. I've been trying to get on there, because someone said that they had some of the Universe figures bios on there somewhere.

 

plowking- Dude I thought the same way too on the whole Ghost Rider vibe. Man, if he had a chain oh yeah Ghost Rider. Anyways the character is insteresting to say the least when someone say he has a fish bowl, dude i was thinking about mysterio, spider-man's foe. Man what a small world. well cant wait to see oil slick in action, thats for sure.
