Two new Animated characters - animation models.

Just saw this scan of issue 6 of the Animated comic, and am thinking that, even though it is likely that Wheeljack and Perceptor will appear in the cartoon, they (and the introduction of Jetfire and Jetstorm in that issue) could be like Oilslick and be just in the comic. I know that the animators want to have Oilslick in season 3, but with only 13 episodes to promote a whole year of toys, including several that will be out before the 3rd season has aired, there is no guarantee that every character will get some screen time in the cartoon.

BTW, Perceptor looks like a fem-bot, to me...
(the scan shows a bit of a second page, with Wheeljack using Perceptor as a microscope, so maybe it is Gen-1-ish after all)

I LOVE Perceptor! That looks sick!

These two are featured int he Animated comic included int he Jetfire/Jetstorm 2-pack "Rise of Safeguard." Along with a bust shot of Red Alert.

I really really hope they get John Dimaggio (he's the voice of Bender, most notably) To play Wheeljack. He'd be perfect.

I assume Jeff Glen Bennett will play Perceptor, as he seemed to be the fallback guy for a lot of voices on Transformers Animated. Kinda like a new Frank Welker.

I read somewhere that George Takei may be voicing Perceptor.

Not sure about Wheeljack, though.

Heh... the original voice for Perceptor (Paul Eiding) is a regular cast member on Ben 10 so he might be too busy to do Transformers as well.
