Courtesy of 2005 Boards Member Automaster we bring you news of more Transformers Animated toy listings that have appeared in Wal-Mart’s computers! The listings back up those we had previously of a Deluxe Class Swindle, Blurr and Waspinator, plus Voyager Class Wreck Gar and Skywarp, but they also reveal the existence of two new Transformers Animated toys – in the Deluxe Class, an Arcee “Sleek Car”, and in the Voyager Class Shockwave! There was also a further listing for something called “Electro Static S” which might be a part of a name of a repaint – maybe the name of the Lockdown Redeco who was shown off at Botcon? As always we will update you as soon as more news is available.

Of course I would hope for a completely different mold for Elita. But If they don`t make one Arcee`s body is the closest match. My guess is that this line will have quite a few repaints with new heads.

"I am Wreck Gar! I practically have gullible consumer written all over me!"
Pretty cool Arcee is confirmed. Hopefully she looks just like the drawing/design shown at the Hasbro panel.

I never said I hated the crack, I loved the crack, but a GIANT crack? Eeww.

Eh, honestly I hope not. I really like the two just the way they are and I don't feel that they need to be forced into a 'G1 homage team' at this point. Yeah, when we first heard that we were getting Constructicons in this series I hoped that there'd be six of them and they'd combine, but now I would really prefer that they stayed away from it… especially given the personalities (New York construction workers) that have been associated with these two.
Introducing Devastator, IMPO, would be similar in tipping the scales like introducing Omega Supreme would have had he stayed around. I guess though they could bring OS back (and I honestly think they will) and he can be Devastator's foil, but I just don't think I'd really want to see that.
Just my two cents.

I'm doubting that you know what 'rhetorical' means.

I personally don't think they're plans for them have changed. The essentially confirmed that the two would be getting toys, but didn't say what size class, at Botcon, which means that they've already been working on them. I just don't see them changing the Constructicons when they've already got them in the works. That and I don't see any more than these two making it into Animated. Hopefully we get to see a picture or two of what their toys are going to look like. Also, I don't think that Devastator would work well with the look of Animated. We have a better chance of seeing the Constructicons/Devastator in the movie's than we do in Animated, imo.

Yeah, that whole butt-crack thing really was lame IMO. I like the show and all and know it's for kids but a robot with an exposed ass crack is wack.

i hope so but i don't see them doin it but we can hope!
shroobmaster
I hope not! Devastator with a giant butt-crack!? I'd rather take Menasor on crack!

you know, I was wondering that maybe we haven't gotten any confirmation on the constructicons because maybe Hasbro's plans for the constructicons have changed. Maybe they were only planning on having the two constructicons if they only did two seasons, so therefore, they would only make the two toys, but now that we know we have a third season, maybe they are reworking the molds so they can have a combiner gimmick, and then we get a Devastator in Animated. At least I hope that's the answer.
dark69
i don't think so Elita-one looks nothing like arcee in the show but i do hope we get a green repaint
MoonRacer Prime
Awesomely outstanding! At last I can build the army of Arcees I have always wanted! Must find fifty! Also I predict Elita will use the same mold with a new head so score!

Very neat news!

As somebody else said, it's probably some kind of role play toy for the kids, like Bumblebee/Wasp's stinger.
JCz28
Electro Static S I wonder what that could be?
shroobmaster
I think he means there's more animated Constructicons, he's probably crazy because we all know there's only two of 'em in Animated unlike G1 who had more than two, people should learn that G1 isn't Animated.
Somebody
Egoscream, perhaps? That or the stingers.
RodimusMark
You know what I'm thinking Electro Static S is? I think its like Bumblebee's little stingers for kids to role-play with. Otherwise, I would venture to guess what one of the other posters said, a redeco of another charcter whose name starts with "s". Arcee and Soundwave are pretty cool additions. All of these actually make me quite happy. And Wreck-Gar at Voyager class may make it a little easier to skip him. It really depends on the toy. I enjoyed his episode, but I don't know how cool it would be to have a transforming Garbage Truck, I wasn't all that keen on his Robot Mode either, I'll have to go back and watch the episode to determine whether he'll be worth getting. The Charcters and their show appearances really do affect how much I like the toy it seems.

You sir, damn near made me piss my Lederhosen.
SPLIT LIP
??? They didn't get rid of all the new characters, they were just put "on hold". And what do you mean the rest of the Constructicons? There's only two.
Retorical or not, I'm not sure what you mean.
