I am kind of digging Blackout.

News Credits: 1452 · by **Blurrz** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 2:23 pm

The Animated toyline is far from dead, as figures that were shown at San Diego Comic Con 2009 appear to be well under production. GenZhao of KOToys has gotten his hands on two Voyager Class figures, Animated Blackout and Animated Thundercracker. Animated Blackout is a brand new mold. He takes the shape of the monstrosity that we saw in the Animated episode 'TransWarped', and is clearly paying homage to Movie Blackout. Thundercracker is a repaint of Animated Voyager Starscream, who had only previously been an Activatorfigure. With this slew of Animated Voyager figures being seen now, you can expect pictures of Wingblade Optimus Prime to show up very soon.

Blackout;

Remember that these photos are not always to be the final product, and are far from what we may see when they are released. The Animated toy line, unlike the Animated TV series, is expected to resume after the Revenge of the Fallen toy line starts to die down. Animated will be released subsequently with Universe 3.0 in the second half of 2010. You can check out the rest of the galleries of each picture here; Thundercracker - Blackout.

Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for your latest news and updates!

Next time, I'll see the full gallery, at least he is bigger than Lugnut, :lol:

. I still like Blackout.

Midget Lugnut never fails to amuse me.

Also... I want that oversized Starscream... but only in SW colours.

Thundercracker will be purchased so I can have a proper seeker set. The baby blue sticks out a little too much, but that's minor. Too bad we didn't know about this before I bought the activator version.

Thundercracker is another step in completing the Starscream clones, just Dirge, Slipstream, and Liar Starscream left to go.

I bet these will be next years Botcon figures.

Blackout's vehicle looks pretty good (guns guns!), though his robot mode....is not my style. I would only get him for his helicopter gunship form, and to place beside Energon Bulkhead.

I'm digging Thundercracker's colour scheme. I've got the other TFA Seekers so I must get this one too. I'm a fan of TFA and the Blackout design, movie and TFA, so this is also a must buy for me. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming wave of TFA toys.

Thanks so much for finding these photos!

you kidding me? blackout is ugly! he might be better if he had oh say a neck?

by **heltskelt** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 4:26 pm

Blackout does have a neck, short, but a loyal representation of what we saw in the cartoon. I'm not digging the size, though. This is why i never got Lugnut. Movie Blackout was already a disappointment, and now this. And, any animated fan who says they're not getting Thundercracker are either lying or crazy. Bring on the coneheads!

Well, I just got the other Seekers last month, so...
Yeah, I'll probably get Thundercracker.

It's a nice relief seeing figures that aren't part of the ROTF line.

I'm pretty sure that Starscream is the KO Leader-class size.

I agree, though there's a Leader class Bulkhead that scales well. I originally passed on Voyager Lugnut because even as a Voyager class figure, he's small. But I found him for $10 so I picked it up for my collection.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Blackout looks like a big fat tick. :lol:

News Credits: 8 · by **Megatron Wolf** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 6:43 pm

Since i could never find Skywarp ill be getting Thundercracker if i can find him. Blackout on the other hand wont be joining my collection.

by **WolfDawg** » Tue Aug 11, 2009 6:55 pm

I'm definitely getting Blackout. He's a great representation of his movie counterpart. That's a pretty big feat too; especially when you consider how different the movieverse bots are from the animatedverse bots. Movie Blackout in Animated styling and Animated Lockdown in Movie styling...I'm loving this!!! :APPLAUSE:
