I've said it before, the one thing we haven't seen enough of in recent TF lines is silver sports cars. Finally, Movie Jazz and ROTF Sideswipe and Sideways have a new friend.

So we are getting a Wingblade Optimus after all? Sweet.

Man, I'm really looking forward to the last set of animated figs.
Can't wait! Don't really care to much for all the redecos though...

Both will be TRU exclusives, according to the packaging. And Ratchet comes with shock paddles!

Japan getting Transformers Animated toys in 2010:

They get the basics: Prime, Megatron, etc., but the assortment seems to include Activators Dirge and Cliffjumper. No Dinobots, nor Sentinel Prime, Jazz, Ultra Magnus, and the Twins. They do get Arcee though.

I don't know why K-Mart has Animated Cybertron Ratchet when it's supposed to be a ToysRus exclusive, but it's there nonetheless:

Chances are this is just an old database entry from before it was decided that Ratchet would be a TRU exclusive.

Oh yeah, Animated Blackout looks really good.

I'm liking Arcee, may consider Ratchet because of his quad walker mode.

Add Blackout to the group of toys that are getting a regular release in Japan.

Hot Rod and Ironhide TRU exclusive

Nice! Really nice. We already got lots of trouble finding Arcee. Guess we will never see Hot Rod.

I'm sure this wave will have Arcee and Ratchet in it, don't all second waves include at least part of the first?
