BotCon panels 3/12 - Animated cartoon.

[Kyle]

Character designs were a collaboration between Derrick Wyatt and Hasbro's Eric Seibenaler.

Did you get to say hi to Eric?

Someone asked if all the other Earth TFs with spark crystals died like Starscream did, by Prowl summoning them to him. They said there was no confirmation of any additional deaths, but it wasn't the intention of that scene (so it is assumed that they are all still alive).
(I guess if IDW continue an Animated comic, some of these loose ends could be dealt with)

Apparently the Dinobots don't have sparks or spark crystals, so that scene didn't affect them anyway.

Very niiiiiice.

Yep.
At least for the couple of seconds he wasn't being hounded by hundreds of other obsessed fans...

Like me.....hahahah. Eric actually designed an animated Sludge for me. He would have done full body, but there were about a thousand kids at the Hasbro booth and he never got time, so we settled for a face:



Would have been nice to see an Animated Blot. He's in my top three favourite TF's, after Sludge and Cyclonus.
