This morning Hasbro’s Transformers Animated design team and the staff from Cartoon Network gave a special presentation of what is coming in 2009 for Transformers Animated, answered fan questions, and showed the upcoming Transformers Animated episode, Black Friday. Amongst the other products shown were Animated Shockwave, Blurr, and a fire and ice themed two pack of Jetstorm and Jetfire!

It's only a couple of weeks till comic-con. The pictures will probably be available to the public,
so just wait until then.

did anyone who went to Botcon sneak a few photos of blurr or shockwave?
Fort Max
Wreck Gar sounds slick, I look forward to seeing it.
Ravenxl7
Thanks. That's great. I was hoping that both of his modes would look great, instead of one being sacrificed for the other. Can't wait to finally see pictures of him.
Jarodimus
Alt mode was shown, too, and looked good! It included the dumpster-grabber arms, which seemed to be movable.
Ravenxl7
Thanks . Thats cool. I was hoping he would retain his backpack. I have one last question (that I can think of anyways) about Wreck-Garr. Was his prototype just shown in bot-mode, or was there one in alt-mode too? I was looking at his bot-mode the other day, and from what I've heard of his toy, it sounds as if his alt-mode will be neglected a bit to make the bot-mode more show-accurate. I'll still most likely get him though.
Beastbot X
Apologies for missing this.
Anyways, can't remember on the fists, sorry. He does have his backpack, though. Honestly, he looks pretty much exactly like he does on the show. I couldn't find any difference whatsoever.
Ravenxl7
He's been confirmed from Hasbro that he's a Voyager.
Any answers out there for my questions about Wreck-Garr?
Torque
awesome-cause ive heard people call him Deluxe, and it ticks me off-how sure are you hes a voyager?
Beastbot X
Voyager.
Torque
what size class is Wreck-Gar?
Laser_Optimus
Yeah, I mean, I won't be there being in Florida, but I love seeing and hearing about all the new stuff that gets shown off.
Anti Spark
OHhhh Boy I hope they bring stuff!
Ravenxl7
Ok, thanks. I was thinking it would be a while from now, but wasn't sure how much longer it would be. Hopefully we get some good sneak peaks from the Toronto convention, though that's still a month a way. Any answers out there for my questions about Wreck-Garr?
Laser_Optimus
That's right. Wonder if they'll have anything new to show to everyone by then?
Fort Max
It's at the end of July, Hasbro will also be holding a shorter version of their panel at a TF convention in Toronto next month.
Ravenxl7
You have a point there, but I thought I might as well ask while I had the opportunity too (that and I'm a little impatient, lol). Here's another one, when is SDCC? The only info I know about it are some of the exclusives, lol.
AniProwl
Just wait til SDCC where we can finally see the pics on-line like last year. I know I am.
Ravenxl7
Ok, I've got two more questions (the more I think about them, the more questions come to my mind, lol). The Wreck-Garr toy that was shown, did it have open hands? or closed fists? Also, from what you could see, did he appear to have his backpack? Wold be cool to put some different randome things in there for him, lol. Thanks in advance .
Ravenxl7
Ok. Hopefully he retains his ninja-stars when he gets the armour, as those are something I like from the regular release of him that we'll be getting. I'm also hoping that we get a look at his toy with the armour before I get the chance to buy a regular wave 1 Prowl. That way I cam make a good decision on whether to get regular Prowl, or wait for the upgraded Prowl.
