    Dunno, don't care though. Good riddance.

    I'll miss the Hydrofoil BB though. A bit disappointed about a new and improved BB mold given he was a cast character and his Activator doesn't do as much for me as it does for others.

    I seriously seriously hope that's not the end of Animated. I want me Arcee and Soundblaster!

    Unhappy Not gonna miss either of those two, but this does not bode well for Animated figures

    Here's hoping we still get toys for the upcoming characters... I'll be pretty disappointed if we don't see C-------, R-- A---- and S---- in full plastic glory.

    EDIT - Names changed.

    Spoiler-policy-of-OTCA-wise, I think if all Movie toys and characters are required to be written as spoilers then it's only fair that Season 3 Animated characters should be as well.

    This news makes me sad. Hopefully it just got cancelled to make room for the movie toys and will later be released once the movie hype starts dying down. :

    I'm guessing stompy is right. They wouldn't go to all the effort to make a new mould just to scrap it at the last minute.
    And did they ever announce the wave after this one?
    I remember Eric saying they were going to do a _______ Bulkhead with a blue colour scheme

    Remember that BBTS have cancelled a preorder on a particular wave/case assortment. It doesn't follow that the toys are never coming out.

    Grimlock repaint...meh.

    The HD BB would be a shame if that doesn't see release, though as Paulbot said it may just be that Hasbro are modifying their waves and case assortments.

    Bumblebee looked cool but I can live without it, maybe they are just changing whats in that wave and Bumblebee will still see a release some time soon.

    Grimlock was just an ugly recolor but a lot of money would have been invested in the new Bumblebee mold.
