The Teambots Facebook page has been updated with loads of vidoes of the 3rd Party Transformers Masterpiece Slag figure from Fans Toyscalled Scoria.  There is also a YouTube video, below, showing off the toy.

Here are a few images but you can see the rest on the Teambots Facebook page

Fans Toys have posted up images of the Triceratops mode for their upcomming 3rd Party Transformers Masterpiece Scoria (Slag) toy.  The figre was previously seen in robot mode, and made quite an impact on the Transformers fans community.  The new images of the dinosaur mode are set to do the same.

Entertainment Earth has posted official images of the Dinobot Minicons, recolours of Knockdown, Terrorsaur, Swoop and Snarl.

The new figures will be Grimlock, Swoop and Snarl (as Hasbro won't use the name Slag), and hopefully they will name the tiger Catilla, on whom the colour scheme seems to be based.  Another throught is that this will be Grimlock, Swoop, Slag (Triceratops) and Snarl (Cat)

This weeks episode sees the introduction of Ratbat and Electro-Static Soundwave (in one form) as well as the return of Wreck-Gar, Scrapper and the official naming of Slag.

Chinese seller TFCToy has placed an auction on ebay for a sample of Transformers Animated Snarl. The BIN price is a lofty $159.99 but will no doubt be snapped up by one of the early Animated toy collectors in the US. You can view the image below as well as on the Snarl Character Page on TransformersAnimated.com

Sean Galloway has updated his blog with information and images on the Transformers Animated Dinobots, including a previously unmentioned Sludge.

Heya, gang! Here's some earlier concepts, out of a batch, I did for the new Transformers Animated. Basically I was brought onto the project to show some new organic shapes for the classic robots, Dinobots, and others.

I tell ya.... robots are tough as heck to draw. The technicality of things was pretty difficult. It was fun, but very challenging none the less.

My goal was to make them feel as if they had some Japanese aspects in them. For Sludge, I wasn't sure if 4 arms would work on him, but I figured what the heck, ya know? For Swoop I wanted to make him more ninja-esque.... Grimlock more Samurai-esque, and finally Snarl as more of a bruiser or a grunt from the bunch.

We ave uploaded our episode summary and image gallery of the latest episode of the Transformers Animated cartoon series. The episode, episode 6, is called Blast From The Past and features the introduction of the Dinobots (Grimlock, Slag and Swoop).
