TFormers have started hosting pictures from Toy Fair, both their own pictures and the official ones that have that black wash on them. A few figures we've already seen but new colour photos of Jazz, Slag, Soundwave and an unknown Deception who transforms into a motorbike (Possibly called Oil Slick) have appeared. Links to galleries: Official Deluxe gallery Official Voyager gallery Leader class Megatron and Roll Out Command Optimus Prime Battle Begins DVD 2-pack Animated Activators (Figures with spring-loaded transformation) Animated Bumper Battlers (Like Cyber Slammers) TFormers gallery (This gallery is phots taken at the actual Toy Fair and so the figures don't have that black wash on them. Means you get a better look at the final product)
I have to say I'm loving these so much. I now wanna get a Toyota Scion xB and strap a massive guiter to the roof. Bring on Ultra Magnus and Sentinel Prime images!

Headmaster...Bulkhead? Wow, I didn't see that one coming.
Soundwave is pure love, he's a walking audio homage! Tape deck-esque chest, cassette details on his arms, wheels that look like speakers oh his shoulders, and best of all...a bad ass guitar (that transforms into Laserbeak) which I'm going to make him use FLCL style.
I'll give Hasbro this, they've really done a fine job with these Animated toys, and I for one am going to enjoy collecting them.

Yeah, I saw Headmaster with Bulkhead as well - he's one human villain I'm looking forward to seeing. As for Soundwave, note that he also has a design on his front bumper like the buttons G1 Soundwave has on his waist.

He does? *checks for himself* Damn, I was so fixated on the gorgeousness of the robot mode that I missed details like that on the vehicle mode.

You know what though? He's called Soundwave and doesn't transform into a cassette player. Therefore he's not Geewun and so is complete crap.

Bah, I don't care about that. I like the look of it and that's all that matters, plus him not having a nappy this time works too.

I think Bumblebee's alt mode in Animated is supposed to be a little shorter than a Ford Focus. Still, stick some black stripes on it and two massive rockets on the back and I think you're onto something.

From what I can gather he's called Oil Slick. There's been no indication of him appearing in the TV show yet but that doesn't mean he won't.

Awesome! If he doesn't, then I'm looking forward to seeing more non-show toys since there they've pulled off the animated style remarkably well. I'll be surprised if he doesn't appear in the show.

It's not a Bulkhead lookalike, that's the Leader class Bulkhead figure. The purple head sat on top is a bad guy called Headmaster. He's a human who, though a means not yet revealed, can become that head which can fit over a Transformer's head and thus take control of him. As shown by the figure, it's pretty clear which character he takes over in his debut episode. Whether the head can attach to any other characters is unknown, but they'd have to be leader class for it to work. I'm assuming the Headmaster head will be packaged with Leader Bulkhead.
