I decided to give Animated another chance. This time I bought Oil Slick and Grimlock

To be quite honest these are not too bad. Aside from the obvious with Grimlock and his gaping chest wound, his robot mode is very nice. My favourite so far.

Oil Slick also has a good robot mode but I could've sworn his head in the proto pics looked like he had some kind of fluid in his helmet, but it wasn't to be found in the finished product

After some more playing around with all my Animated TF's I have to say I am pretty happy with the purchases I have made (Lockdown, Soundwave, Grimlock, Oil Slick)

I think I will buy the rest of the Dinobots and Swindle and that will just about do it for my Animated collection, unless I find Atomic Lugnut and Sunstorm
