Images from tformers.com of concept sketches for what appear to be Hot Rod, Blackout, Something Weird, and Strika.

Ooh! Those look pretty good. The weird thing looks funky.

Is it weird that I feel this truly legitamizes Blackout now?

I wonder what he transforms into...an ornithopter?

EDIT: Nevermind, it's probably a helicopter...I thought those looked like wings on his back at first.

The weird thing is listed Spittor's Cybertron mode.

Listed where? I can definitely see that though.

Hot Rod looks great. Wonder how long into the season before they show up?

BM Strika and an Emo Hotrod.... Interesting....
I've actually been checking the cartoon out on YTV, and it's pretty good - but if Hotrod gets a black and silver repain, I'm out of here ><

Rodimus Prime looks nice. Blackout's a big "meh" because he reminds me too much of Bayformers. Spittor looks ridiculous. Strika's okay.

When I heard Strika was going to be in Animated, I assumed that she'd have a new design. I'm a little disappointed.

Rodimus looks good. Blackout looks like he's Lugnut's little brother. I'll reserve judgment for Spittor until I've seen his robot mode, and as for Strika... at least the toy version will match the show this time around.

Strika's figure was actually fairly show accurate. Maybe you're thinking of Blastcharge who was a completely different mold.

Hot Rod is nice. So is Blackout... Hey, why let G1 and Beast Wars have all the references? Although it's a bit early to be referencing the movie...

Spittor is awesome. I love obscure characters!

Strika? Never cared much for the character herself. Hope Obsidian gets in too.

Learn to type/spell.

The designs are looking great, as usual. I can't wait to see how the character of Hot Rod comes across on the small screen.

Since Hasbro still (I believe) doesn't have rights to "Hot Rod", I'm betting he's going to appear as Rodimus Prime...though hopefully less emo than his G1 counterpart.

Nah... Rodimus Major all the way man!

Wouldn't put it past them to bring her back. What I really want to see is Animated Springer.

Long as his modes are a bit more different from each other than in G1

When do they bring in Galvatron, I wonder? I just hope he isn't a recreated Megs.
