1 Wreck-Gar!!!! Nuff said, but I shall say more. He looks great! Perfect! Wouldn't change a thing! Articulated fingers? Yes! So...sniff...beautiful.
2 Sidecar Prowl: This thing looks bad ass! I already have the original, but this dude is awesome! Put me down for one!
3 Waspinator: Not a Bumblebee redeco, he's totally a wasp. Amazing.
4 40 bucks for me to own them all. That fits my budget just nicely!
And for those of you who are wondering, yes, I have changed my pants since seeing this. So awesome!!!

A whole bunch of definate buys. Atomic Lugnut is the only maybe in there, but I'll probably end up picking him up at some point anyways.

I'm assuming that since Wasp isn't a car like Bumblebee, that we will see more of his character in Season 3 where he takes on a actually Wasp alt. mode?

I'm glad i passed on Prowl. I'm definitely getting Samurai Prowl.
by the looks of the alt mode, the side car just breaks apart into armor pieces to put onto Prowl which is pretty cool.
Waspy looks extremely cool. Will look very nice with BW Waspinator.
Wreckgar also looks like a winner.
Leo Prime... I'm torn the head looks really cool. but the color scheme? I was kind of hoping for more white and a very golden mane.
So disappointed with Overload. I was so hoping it be a repaint of Armada Overload, and not another Cybertron Defense Scattorshot.
SO where's Cybertron Defense Red Alert. He's deserving of a Repaint.

Samurai Prowl is total sex. Also Hasbro pulled their finger out with a new mold, i was expecting armor, similar to city commander but it seems the side car is his chest and arms and the bike is everything else. *Clap clap* Hasbro.
How make us an Omega Supreme...or camp latino klingons will kill you in the bum.

And the new Prowl looks all kinds of yummy!

-Waspinator is a total win in my book. Seeing that picture made my day.
-Prowl just got even better. The first one had amazing articulation, and this one just looks amazing.
-Atomic Lugnut looks good, but I'd have been more impressed with a bigger figure, befitting of the character.
-Dinobot needs to be seen in person. He looks good, but non-enhanced pictures or actually holding the toy will be the telling point.
-Smokescreen... pass. Sorry, not a fan of another G1 racecar. Please, no lynchmob.
-Leo Prime looks nice, but another one I'll need to see up close.
-Overload... pass. Not a fan of the mold.

3 months to wait....it's Super Smash Bros Brawl all over again (I didn't say just "Brawl" cuz there's already a guy named that in Transformers and....nevermind.)

This just seems like a waste of a mold. As beastformers go, it's not so bad, but I was very much looking forward to an eventual Cybertronian Bumblebee, and I guess there's little chance of that now.
Samurai Prowl looks ridiculous.
Atomic Lugnut is a surprisingly terrific repaint.

That gave me a headache in my whole body.
I'm definitely going to buy Prowl and Waspinator. And here I thought I'd be done with Animated once I got my hands on Ultra Magnus.

Yeah, what's up with that?DavidT wrote:I'm assuming that since Wasp isn't a car like Bumblebee, that we will see more of his character in Season 3 where he takes on a actually Wasp alt. mode?
I'm not complaining, or anything. I'm totally psyched that Wasp isn't just a green repaint of BB, but I don't remember anything in the show about him taking on a bug (okay... insect) alt mode.

Waspinator is a MUST HAVE. They did a great job with this one. Give me some more Beast Wars Animated
Leo Prime is a wait and see. I love the new head sculpt but I will have to see how my wallet is doing before I get him.
Dinobot is another MUST HAVE. Really like the look of him and will go nicely with Cheetor.
As for the other repaint, not really interested in them. Wasn't really a fun of those molds in the first place and these repaints don't do much to change my mind.

Having said that, he still looks awesome. Will definitely be getting him, Wasp, Smokescreen and will wait and see more pics for Prowl. I usually try not to get more than one of each character for any one toy line (e.g. only getting leader Bulkhead and not the voyager)... but may have to make an exception for Prowl.
Posted by Bumblebeast on October 20th, 2008 @ 10:48pm CDT
And no hope of getting Wreck Gar.
Posted by DavidT on October 20th, 2008 @ 11:05pm CDT
I guess we'll get a repaint of Wasp into Buzzsaw

A good question is if the new Prowl will have removable throwing stars or not. Here's some pics I slapped together for a comparison:
Interesting, so the bikes are different molds. It looks like the new bike does still have the throwing stars.

And the new Prowl looks all kinds of yummy!
No, no... don't eat them. They don't taste good.

...I was totally right.
Posted by munkimus prime on October 21st, 2008 @ 10:43am CDT
The must gets for me are Wreck Gar, Wapinator, Samurai Prowl, Uni Dinobot and Smokescreen.
The rest don't impress me much.
Posted by Dead Metal on October 21st, 2008 @ 11:35am CDT
That Prowl would make a sweet TFA Bludgeon, even with a pretender shell!

And yet, they can't give Classics Cliffjumper a simple new head.
