NEW Transformers, aka I will have NO money in the future
BlindsideDork | 11:04 AM on 09.11.2007 29 comments


This is not for the movie sequel or what not. This is showcasing the "prototypes" for the upcoming line of Transformer toys. I thought this was better to look at than some bad NSFW pics from a unmentioned person. This action figures come from the upcoming series Transformers Animated. I am not a fan of the plot or set up of making them more like super heroes and less like robots fighting robots but these toys look frickin' sweet! Get ready...there are a LOT of them!



Original Autobots




Optimus Prime - Cybertronian mode



Optimus Prime - Earth mode




Bumblebee - He kind of resembles his old VW Bug shape which is nice.




Ratchet




Grimlock - Isn't he a lot of people's fav?




Slag




Original Decepticons




Megatron - Cybertronian (he will change by end of the series and the 2nd picture isn't the change?)




Starscream




Black Arachnia




Now for the NEW Autobots...



Bulkhead (Military Vehicle) - Lumbering lug to love





Bulkhead (Military Vehicle) - Test version




Prowl (Motorcycle) - Token Ninja




NEW Decepticons



Blitzwing (TRIPLECHANGER)- Multiple faces like Man-E-Faces from He-Man




Lugnut (Bomber Plane) - My personal favorite AWESOMENESS! Here's hoping they don't mess up his paint.




Lockdown (Hot Rod?) - Nothing






And the BEST for last...




Soundwave...yes that is a frickin' GUITAR! Who cares about the car!




If you were interested in series, here is a trailer of the show. Doesn't look too bad!




What did you think? Doesn't look too bad at all and same with the action figures. I don't know about you but these look MUCH better than the movie action figures so I can't wait! These will be in my collection, not sure about yours...

Which are your favorites? And which console you think this will spin off onto? Wii and DS only?


For all the pics and all the links and details, go to the link below!

[Via Toys R Evil]




PS: Support the Dtoid Radio, cause if you don't who will? Well plenty of others but can you honestly get enough of Destruct in your life? I think not!

Lovin the color scheme and exaggerated proportions... a lot. My favorite out of these would have to be Soundwave though. The guitar looks dangerous!

I want these on my desk now.

OP, I respect your opinion, but I completely disagree. These are all made of cheap plastic, suck and not spending my money.

I had ALL (I mean all) of G1 and G2 including the incredibly hard to find Japan-only black Metroplex... these look wonky and cheap.

Alternators ftw; that's what they should turn the franchise (back?) into. Those at least emulated the sturdy construction of the metal and rubber gen 1 toys, and the reissues of the gen1 stuff. This looks cheap and fakey. The words 'super-deformed' come to mind, and anytime those words come to my mind, that troubles me.

Color me sadd.

That is all.

@ Balth

True they are not metal like the old ones but you know what...today's toys suck and I have accepted that. So I will take what I can get. And these are some cool looking toys in awhile. Like others have said, I love the style and art direction.


PS: You lose for having a "signature?" or posting that gamer card in your comments. That's what a profile is for!

Oh man that theme song is super 80's cheesy, which is amazingly awesome in every way possible. I don't think I've heard a theme song that explains the plot in forever. This is great.

Show looks really bad. But the toys look better than average.

Thanks Blindside!

I think it is save to say they will be $10. I wouldn't expect them going any lower than $7.99 though...

@BlindsideDork: LMAO Yes, I completely agree. All toys today are the suck. I saw an ad yesterday for a hot wheels taxi game where you tried to get the guy to fart/barf/insult you. I thought I was watching a SNL commercial; couldn't believe it was real and/or kids would WANT to play with it.

Yeah, I get flak for my sig. But it's me and I'm proud :)

That is all~

Pretty slick. I didn't care for the designs of the live action movie Tranformers designs as I felt they were a bit 'busy'. These though, look very stylish.

Grimlock's monstrous sword is bad ass.

eh...I'll give it a chance. I think the toys aren't too bad. I'd probably collect them. Thanks BSD!

These are from the new animated series which should be out soon according to Wikipedia.

Didn't I say that in the opening paragraph? And the video clip/trailer didn't do the trick? haha

Oh you "popular/cool" kids, my dear h3lios...

I think Lugnut just reminds me of a Mega Man villain and I like old Mega Man stuff.

Though I'm not sold on the animated versions, the toy versions actually look mostly good. I don't know about the cartoon but at the same time it can't be worse than Armada. Or can it?

@BlindsideDork : My bad...was too busy looking at the pics to even see that. My bad totally.

Lugnut reminds me of the Beta Fighter from Robotech: The New Generation.

they look like bugs. I mean, some of them look cool, but mostly look like really kiddie things.

I want to see to see really realistic vehicles, like the movie or the kiss layers line, and really bitchin bots.

I want metal figures, not toys.

I'm digging these designs. I could deal with them being plastic since most toys since the mid 80's have been made out of plastic. I'm not sure about how the actual series will turn out, but who cares...
