Derrick J. Wyatt, lead character designer for the Transformers: Animated series has given us some more information about upcoming toys, release dates and characters for Transformers Animated on his blog A Delightful Tedium.

After posting Animated Prowl Concept Art yesterday, Wyatt continues with further information in his comments section.

First up is confirmation that Animated Prowl with a side car is being produced:
"The side car is coming! It looks totally perfect too. Hasbro and Takara did a fantastic job on that one."

Wyatt also mentions that Transformers Season Three has not been announced as yet, and is thus "it's still quite a ways off."

And lastly, regarding the Animated Beachcomber Concept Art revealed earlier, Wyatt has mentioned his current fate in relation to the series:
"I worked on Beachcomber's design with designer Irineo Maramba. He was going to be a total hippy slacker type. Unfortunately his speaking part in the early part of season 3 got cut for time. So, at this point, we don't know if he will even be in season 3 or not."

If I remember correctly, I think I heard at Botcon that it will be another Animated Prowl release. With the sidecar replacing the Traffic Light weapon included with the first Prowl. And that he will have better fists.

If the armor is anywhere close to how cool I hope it is I won't mind having to pay for another Prowl one bit. He's one of my favorite TFA to boot. If I remember correctly it was also stated that Soundwave would be getting more music insrument minions. I wonder when we will see them and how they will be packaged?

Where is the sidecar armor all I see is a bunch of pre-production versions of what prowl might have looked like.

To my knowledge there have been no prototype pics or diagrams of the sidecar armor. We're just hopeful that it looks good and the artist stated they did a good job on it. Fingers crossed.
