New Animated Figures

[Golden Phoenix]

TFormers (http://tformers.com/transformers-toy-fair-2009-animated-arcee-electrostatic-soundwave-s3-hits-tv-in-march/10982/news.html)have received some photoshopped official images of Animated Arcee and Electrostatic Soundwave.
Soundwave now comes with a new keyboard guitar that transforms into what is likely to be Ratbat

They also got some news about Season 3 of Animated. It will start in March. No news about it finishing or continuing though

I guess they wouldn't want to mention the end of Animated with season 3 at Toy Fair, since they still have new products to sell. :/

Arcee is a must-have. Soundwave repaint is cool too. I was going to get him mainly for the new weapon/partner but the Soundblaster black turns out to be nice too. :)

[STL]

Arcee looks friggin' awesome! The futuristic cockpit and all the angles are amazing. Cannot. Wait.

Soundwave = Soundblaster for me. Otherwise I'd give it a pass if they did it in the Electrostatic colours. The Ratbat doesn't look as well done as Laserbeak however.

[Thanatos]

Man, Soundblaster :P. That's awesome. Ratbat doesn't look as well pulled off, but it's fairly metal

[Gutsman Heavy]

OMG Keytar!

Doggie bounce (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXNBIFLxQUM) Soundwave ftw!

[Robzy]

Ratbat looks cool! Arcee looks amazing!

[Wheel-J]

It's just about time a fembot joins up the good guys to balance the score...:)

On the other side, I just learned that unofficial pics of animated human figures have been posted from other fan websites (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/new-tf-animated-galleries-including-impossible-toys-human-figures/15173/).

Looking sweet to me. :D

[Stompy]

Animated continues to astound me with the toy line. Arcee is looking awesome and a keytar! Now for a 3rd repaint of Soundwave with Ravage as a.... drum kit?

Cannot wait.

[iceburn]

oh goodie goodie!!! nice pair of toys..esp for Arceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Zippo]

Acree looks sweet, and while a Black Soundwave is awesome - espy with Ratbat, I think I can pass on him.

[GoktimusPrime]

Ooh! Human figures! That's cool. Although they don't look terribly articulated to me. :/

I'd like to see Hasbro release proper action figures of humans that appear in TFs - Mutt Williams could easily be redecoed and repackaged as Sam Witwicky. :)

[Gutsman Heavy]

Just a reminder those animated human figs ain't official.

[SilverDragon]

Arcee looks sparkly, and I'm still amazed that the figure can actually transform.

*sigh* Another figure to get. Oh well, at least the Autobots in my room will stop hitting on Blackarachnia now that there's a female who isn't a Decepticon.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

SOund(blaster)wave thar looks nice in black. Ratbat looks kinda lame in bat mode, I like the way they used the cartoon head though.

Arccee looks great! The car mode looks so sleek and sexy! I hope the Rodimus toy is along those lines in vehicle mode! The robot seems to have a bit of kibble on the upper arms, but having a closer look, it seems you can twist at the forearms and ball jointed elbows should avoid that. Cool!

I am quite excited!

How many years and we finally have a proper Arcee?:D

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Awesome, finally a good G1-esque Arcee. Hope we get toys for Strika and Red Alert as well.

[Gutsman Heavy]

i had no interest in Arcee, but that does look quite nice.

[Pipesqueak]

Arcee is a must and i like the look of Ratbat more than the Laserbeak guitar actually but i'm not buying another Soundwave to get it.

[GoktimusPrime]

I share the excitement of seeing a toy that is the closest facsimile to a G1 Arcee to date. :)

[i_amtrunks]

Arcee continues the theme of awesomesauce animated toys, though if she really is that metallic pink I'll be very surprised.

Not sold on Soundblaster with Ratbat, Ratbat looks hilariously dodgy in "guitar mode".

Wish there was more Animated and Universe stuff being shown off at Toyfare, the movie stuff is boring.

[Paulbot]

Arcee look good. Soundwave... Well now instead of responding to "But's it's the same toy" with "But it has a new hat!" we can say "But it has a new bat!" :D

[GoktimusPrime]

Are they still gonna just call this toy Soundwave or will they call it Soundblaster? I think it should be called Soundblaster. It would be a good tribute to G1 for obvious reasons.

They should call it Soundblaster, but they wont.
Some people will get confused, so they are throwing Electrostatic in front of Soundwave and saving the name

I agree.

But they want "brand real estate". I don't really understand it with a periphery character though who's been on for an episode in the 1st two seasons

[roller]

arcee looks crap

i hope they do another one in Universe 2 line or a special G1 release

When I read that, I imagined goks voice in monotone robot speak for some reason. Strange but true.... Or that "Russian" news reader from that comedy company-esque show that used to be on ch7 a long time ago.

I second that motion

"You are very unattractive man." :p
