Transformers Animated Figures at Toyfair 2008

Toy Fair 2008, organized by the Toy Industry Association is held in New York from February 17-20. No Gundam, sorry ^^; but plenty of lovely upcoming Transformers figures are on display.

We'll look at Transformers Animated figures today, and Transformers Classics 2.0 tomorrow.

TF_RolloutCommand_Prime_02_s
TF_RolloutCommand_Prime_03_s
TF_RolloutCommand_Prime_04_s
TF_RolloutCommand_Prime_05_s
Roll-out Command Optimus Prime, with some automatic transformation gimmick! Nice~ totally beats the auto-morph function of Leader Class Movie Version.

TF_RolloutCommand_Prime_01_s TF_Animated_Ratchet_01_s
Ratchet has a lot of melee weapons.

TF_Animated_Jazz_s TF_Animated_Leader_Bulkhead_s
The return of Jazz!
On the right is Leader Class Bulkhead. What's with his head?

Animated_Leader_Bulkhead_s
Bulkhead's vehicle form, with plenty of added weapons.

TF_Animated_Leader_Megatron_s
Megatron Earth Form, in Leader Class as well.

Animated_Leader_Megatron_s
Megatron Earth Form's vehicle mode - I can only see where he gets his sword from ^^;

TF_Animated_BlackArachnia_01_s
TF_Animated_BlackArachnia_02_s
This is Black Arachnia, so far the only non-vehicle and female character in Transformers Animated.

TF_Animated_OilSlick_s
New character: Oil Slick, who looks like Ghost Rider's bike XD

OilSlickRobot_s
This is Oil Slick in his robot form - uses a chain as well. Not sure about you, but I'm definitely calling him Ghost Rider from now on =D

TF_Animated_Soundwave_03 TF_Animated_Soundwave_02_s
TF_Animated_Soundwave_01_s
Rock n' Roll Soundwave with guitar, ^^ and he seems to put on quite a bit of weight since the last time I saw him. XD It's really nice to see that the designer maintain the 'cassette player' on his chest though.

Most images from Toysdaily. Others are gathered from various forums.

More images can be found on TFW2005, including many other Autobots and Decepticons characters mentioned many moons ago.
