After the news last week about the first Transformers: Animated DVD release, we have more news for you. The disc will be known as Transformers: Animated Movie, and is confirmed as containing ‘Transform & Roll Out’.
The ‘not final’ artwork has been released by TVShowsonDVD in a really small format. We will see if Paramount Home Entertainment will release a, non watermarked, bigger version.
Three auctions on ebay have provided us with the first look at the Transformers: Animated Activators figures in package from Hasbro. The figures shown are for Bumblebee, Bulkhead and Starscream.
Activators work by transforming at the touch of a button and feature accurate designs.
Here’s the weekly reminder for people in the USA and Canada, as well as all you torrent people, that the next episode of Transformers: Animated airs today.
For the USA, Cartoon Network airs the episode at 10:30am EST, whilst in Canada, YTV is 30minutes later at 11am EST. The episode is titled “Survival of the Fittest” and is the 9th or 12th episode in the series depending on how you are counting.
Artist Sean Galloway, who was hired to work on some of the designs for Transformers: Animated, has posted some interesting concepts sketches that he did for the Dinobots, Slag, Swoop and Grimlock.
He discusses, briefly, how difficult robots are to draw and how he had to make them more organic than the classic designs.
My goal was to make them feel as if they had some Japanese aspects in them. For Sludge, I wasn’t sure if 4 arms would work on him, but I figured what the heck, ya know? For Swoop I wanted to make him more ninja-esque…. Grimlock more Samurai-esque, and finally Snarl as more of a bruiser or a grunt from the bunch.
Amazon have updated their listing for Transformers Animated: Attack of the Dinobots with the cover art for the book. The paperback is 24 pages long and is based on the Transformers: Animated series.
The book is published by HarperEntertainment and is out in May 08.
An auction on eBay that recently ended shows more close up details of Transformers: Animated Lugnut from Hasbro. The photos of the loyal Decepticon are of the figure in full colour with both robot and vehicle modes shown at different angles.
There is also a comparison photo with Transformers: Animated Optimus Prime and a scale to show how tall he is.
Another update from Transformers.com, this time in the Transformers: Animated section with new character bios.
After his debut in ‘Sound and Fury’, Soundwave is now online as well as the Dinobots, Grimlock, Snarl and Swoop. The bios also confirm that Snarl is now used instead of Slag and Grimlock is known as Autobot Grimlock, who is apparently as strong as Megatron.
Voice samples have also been added to the profile pages of Starscream, Megatron, Lockdown, and Blackarachnia.
Some new photos of Transformers: Animated Ratchet have appeared on Actoys.net (via TFClub.com) showing a range of poses in robot and vehicle modes and throught the stages of his transformation from one to the other.
The figure is also in it’s final colours with all the accessories, that seem to cleverly store in his back.
The first details of Transformers: Animated being released on DVD have been revealed today. Surprisingly, they have come from Paramount Home Entertainment and not Warner Home Video, who own Cartoon Network.
The first releases is simply listed as being 70 minutes long in full screen with an English stereo audio track. The DVD is due for release in North America on 17th June. It is assumed that the disc will contain the animated special “Transform and Roll Out”.
We will attempt to find out more about this and other releases soon.
