Animated Deluxes scheduled for December.

[griffin]

According to one online wholesaler site, the last lot of Deluxes will start shipping around December, so it shouldn't be much longer for fans of Animated (and those sick of Movie toys) have something new to look out for.

The first wave includes redeco 'Freeway Jazz' and redeco 'Electrostatic Soundwave' (with new Ratbat).

[Linthart]

Extremely excited about this, I do wish arcee was in the first wave though. But there is no way I'm waiting extra months for them to be released here. Case order :D

naturally arcee and rodimus will be the last figures to be released to finish off the line with style

[kup]

Arcee is probably is one worth getting for me as she is the closest thing we have ever gotten to a G1 Arcee.

[Doubledealer]

It's all about Arcee & Rodimus baby! :D Would love to see a Spittor toy too at some point (as he looks a bit like a sharkticon) but this will do nicely. Good time to be a Transformers fan innit.

Spittor:

Yeah I also want an arcee for sure

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

+1 for the just-want-Arcee club since we're not getting Cyclonus, Red Alert or Strika....

Good to see for sure that Soundwave is indeed getting the new Ratbat accessory. It has been absent in convention displays and product images, so I was getting a bit worried that Hasbro had cut costs and decided against producing it.

[liegeprime]

I just want the Ratbat keytar:D. That JAzz recolor isnt really that appealing ( looks non impressive). But yeah like the other, Arcee and Rodimus is all the wait is all about!!:D:D

[rampagesss]

Ah just when i thought i had all the animated toys they make new one, oh well just going to have to get these as well :D

[Doubledealer]

Ratbat looks great, awesome detailing on the keytar mould! :D

[Linthart]

Bah i wanna know when we're getting the new Soundwave/Grimlock Activators. they came out of nowhere

[Wheel-J]

If these two new figs (FW Jazz & Soundwave) are next to be released in the market, it seems like Arcee and Cybertron Ratchet are just close behind which can also be seen on their back packaging.

outstanding spotting, perhaps the animated grail will be earlier than expected.

it would make sense though, put 1 ultra popular figure with a lesser popular figure rather. They did the same with Wreck-gar & atomic lugnut.

so about who is left to join rodimus?

so about who is left to join rodimus?

Among the deluxe class figures, these two are yet to come:
Fugitive Waspinator
Cybertronian Mode Ironhide

And on the voyager class, we have:
Goldfire Grimlock
Hydrodive Bumblebee
Blackout
Wingblade Optimus

Hence, don't touch that dial and stay tuned! :)

[Stompy]

Don't forget the Activators Optimus and Bumblebee repaint.

Looks like its gonna be one large final hurrah before this toy series ends. All looking good with better colours than the RotF toys.

[optimus1]

In my opinion Freeway Jazz looks a bit uninspiring, but sort of looks like Bluestreak more than Jazz.

I really hope they bring this last bit of Animated into Australia and not leave us out of the loop
