Currently airing on the Canadian channel YTV, we have a new commercial that shows off more footage of Sentinel Prime and Ultra Magnus as well as the first appearances of Jazz and Wreck-Gar from future episodes of Transformers: Animated.
The clip is 30 seconds long and should get fans excited about the next four episodes which make up the end of the first series.
TFW2005 member Locustreign has picked up Prowl and Lockdown from China, but they came in European packaging.
What’s interesting about this is that unlike the North American packaging, which has the character profile on the back of the packaging, this one has the profile on the back of the instruction manual.
A new image on Actoys.net has provided the first look at a coloured version of the Transformers: Animated Grimlock toy.
The photo shows Grimlock in his T-Rex mode with his fire sword accessory, which was featured briefly in last weekends episode. The item can be used when in robot mode. Speaking of robot mode, there is no photo of this.
Hasbro haven’t announced when the figure will be released or what wave Autobot Grimlock will be part of.
The first country outside North America has started airing Transformers: Animated, with it being Malaysian. The series started on Sunday 2nd March at 11am. The remainder of the episodes will air every Sunday on TV3.
The channel are also running a competition until the end of March to win Playstation 3 consoles and Ipods.
Amazon.com, have provided the first details on the next 2 volumes of the Transformers: Animated paperback comic book series, Volume 5 and Volume 6.
Unlike previous Transformers comics series, the books do not have a unique art style but instead use screens from the cartoon episodes to produce the artwork. Volume 5 features Bulkhead on the cover, with a release date for 25th September 2008. Volume 6 features Ratchet on the cover, with a release date of 25th November 2008
Both issues are being published by IDW Publishing and each feature 2 episodes worth of content.
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.
