A Delightful Tedium- Derrick Wyatt of Transformers Animated mastermind fame, updated his blog 'A Delightful Tedium' with an April Fool's Day joke of sorts.

He has posted a cityscape with many characters on it in their TF Animated incarnations, but only some of them will actually appear in Season 3. So which ones will be in this new season? Derrick's not telling!

"I didn't just want to do the normal "lulz! fooled ya" type April Fools joke this year, so I'm trying something a little different. The Cybertron cityscape you see before you is populated with Autobots and Decepticons. Now, some of these bots are actually in Transformers Animated season 3, and that's no joke. But, of course, some of them are not.

Pictured here are:
Rodimus Prime
Sky Garry
Grandus
Animated Personality Vangelus
Huffer
Pipes
Botanica
Tap-Out
Zaur
Slapper
Sundor
Flip-Sides
Target Exclusive (True Colors) Shockwave

Have fun guessing! And don't bother asking me, 'cuz I'm not saying."

So who's in and who's out? Discuss below. You can see the original post here.

"That's Mama Pipes to you, Huffer!"

I love the 3 cassettes. I miss the cassettes in general. Since there are a few of them, maybe it's not a fool... but I doubt we'll see cassettes again.

I love Huffer and Pipes as Mario and Luigi.

I hope the purple Shockwave appears. It would be nostalgic, and a nice nod to him finally showing his "true colors." Huffer and Pipes' designs look a little too well thought out to be hoaxes. Finally, it's interesting how they showed Rodimus's vehicle mode; What do you think that might suggest?

Re: Derrick Wyatt Keeps Us Guessing About Season 3 (905198)
Posted by Firebird on April 1st, 2009 @ 8:48am CDT

Vangelus is in there, thats unexpected! And look at the size of Grandus, he is huge!

That alt mode for Rodimus is all sorts of awesome though. I need it in toy form.

Posted by Samsonator on April 1st, 2009 @ 8:49am CDT

Let's see here's my take on the likelyhood of these characters...

Rodimus Prime - Already shown in season three, but is this truly his vehicle mode? (I hope so, it'd make a badass toy)

Sky Garry - Distinctly possible as a background bot

Grandus - Dear god I hope not... though Derrick did a nice job making him a big tub of slag. Looks appropriate.

Animated Personality Vangelus - I'm gonna say.... maybe?

Huffer - I'm gonna say no

Pipes - Ditto, though if they do show up, they better sound like the old cartoon Mario Bros. (Special guest stars Lou Albano and Danny Wells?)

Botanica - I can see this one happening, Botanica's one of those rare characters with little fanbase to her. It'd be nice to see her used again... definitely a foe for Strika

Tap-Out - There's enough Bbee repaints out there, I'd say no-go

Zaur - Sadly, unlikely... the japanese exclusive cassettes never get any love... plus... no Dial?!

Slapper - Shown already in S3, though in different colours, wasn't he?

Sundor and Flip-Sides - Please... please god... no...

Target Exclusive (True Colors) Shockwave - I wouldn't be surprised if, after coming out of hiding and going full-con, shocky donned these colours.

That's my take
Anyone else got ideas?

I just want to know whom Vangelus had to sleep with to get animated? Because I'd like to sign up! :grin:

Posted by Robot4762 on April 1st, 2009 @ 8:59am CDT

Sundor and Flip-Sides: The Sari-Kiss Player jokes may have some credibility, lol

Do I see Metroplex?

I pretty much agree with all your calls, but I think Huffer & Pipes may make it in as comic relief. If they voice them as a Mario & Luigi homage, all the better!

Posted by Dead Metal on April 1st, 2009 @ 10:08am CDT

Vangelus?! :shock:

Oh my dear god that would be totally awesome and random!

I think Slapper might be in seeing as it would be easy money for Hasbro, maybe even Shockwave, but I kinda doubt it.
But I do think that Botanica might show up as this is written by the same guy as BM.
SkyGarry I really do think is in it, S205 showed us his animation model which he got from his friend who is an animator.
The rest I have no clue but damn I want that Grandus.

super mario bros. princess taodstool, & the big decepticon looks like boswer in some way big white autobot lokos like meteroplex looks dumb founded with that face buckteeth could be redneck character, freanzy or rumble that female cassette, dinosouar autobot unkown, springer or hound green autobot.

could there be a predacon in there.?

wingsaber or starsaber i didnt see the first 3 episodes of season 3 so either hes rodimus or hotrod like to see him as figure same with warpath, ironhide & others except maybe constructions may not want to see them as toys i would like to see rodimus with trailer that would be intersting super mode of his like prwol has with that samuair armor he wears

green guy has a bumblebee g1 cybertron look to him in bot mode

we need more figures in this series

Hah, props to Vangelus. Though his ego is going to assplode. I'm guessing this will be his new pic-pick in the next podcast.

Though I doubt Sundor will be present, I think this is our first look at Lazorbeak in robot(condor) mode. Aside from the colours.

Damn Rodimus Prime looks hot!

All I have to say: Botanica had better be in. WOO0oo00 Botanica! I love youuu!!

Posted by Tigertrack on April 1st, 2009 @ 1:36pm CDT

I hope Grandus and Sky Garry are in it. Maybe Prime will get an upgrade into Star Convoy too.

Saur would be sweet as well! The rest...meh. They're (the ones I didn't name) probably all the ones that are in it.

Dig even further...you'll find an 80's rock band by the same name.
(and what scares the hell out of me is that I did no research, I actually pulled that from memory. Just another reminder that my b-day is exactly 1 month away today and I'll be turning...none of anyones damn business

I have a weird feelimg that Rodimus car mode is a fake. One of those times I hope I'm wrong.

Pipes and Huffer better be fakes. Bad enough we have the Constructicons. Stupidest looking thing ever is a Transformer with facial hair, except Scourge. Or buck teeth.

Please let Botanica not be in it.

Re: Derrick Wyatt Keeps Us Guessing About Season 3 (905383)
Posted by oldskooltf on April 1st, 2009 @ 3:36pm CDT

My guess.

REAL: Rodimus Prime's alt. mode, Sky Garry, Grandus, Botanica

UNSURE:
(1) Huffer & Pipes -- looks a little too much like animated Mixmaster & Scrapper -- so I have to wonder why go with that feel again but with autobots. Might be too much of the same thing.
(2) Flip-Sides -- looks like a nemesis to upgraded Sari.
(3) Purple-Shockwave -- I want it but I just don't know.

FAKE:
Vangelus (internet personality)
Tap-Out (repaint of animated Bumblebee with Long-arm-ish head... does someone like MMA?)
Zaur (cassettes in Animated's time frame... I'll guess no.)
Slapper (looks like a repaint of animated Spittor)
Sundor (repaint of animated Laserbeak)

Here's what I know, not "guess":

REAL:
Rodimus Prime
Grandus

UNKNOWN:
Sky Garry
Animated Personality Vangelus
Huffer
Pipes
Botanica (Cybertron Mode)
Tap-Out
Zaur
Slapper
Sundor
Flip-Sides
Target Exclusive (True Colors) Shockwave

I hope that Flip-sides is in there, I think her design is quite good, and the more minions for Soundwave the better. Although I hope she is not named (because Flip-sides is a terrible name).

Really? I thought it was Sky Garry that had been confirmed, not Grandus. I read that somewhere but maybe it is incorrect. Sky Garry looks so well designed, however, that I'm guessing he'll make an appearance anyway.

What was your source? Something s250 said?

EDIT: Scratch that, it does seem like it was Grandus that was rumoured, not Sky Garry.

Actually, both Grandus and Sky Gary are real.

We could see Sky Garry's head as one of the hologram busts in Yoketron's ninja hall of fame.

Posted by Editor on April 5th, 2009 @ 12:30am CDT

I think that it's quite possible for Flip-sides and Sundor to be in there because of the way they are posed with Shockwave.

Both of them are characters that in G1 are 'con spies within the Autobots, Even it Flips doesn't know it. Highly possible they were working for shockwave while he was undercover.

Now that he's been revealed, it's also possible we'll see him back in the purple on the show, seeing there is no need for him to wear Longarm's paint anymore.

So far according to Wyatt's twitter feed Grandus, Sky Garry and Tap Out were among the Cyber Ninja seen as busts in Yoketron's dojo. So that's three of them that have already appeared.

And Grandus and Tap-Out's heads weren't seen, only Sky Garry's was.
