Derrick Wyatt has posted another response over on his blog in relation to the Jetfire and Jetstorm toys being leaked as well as the images that were leaked yesterday by S250 (52toys.com).
Regarding Jetfire and Jetstorm Derrick's latest comment was:
Hmm. It's sort of their combined mode, I guess. From the early pics I
saw the rear of the combined vehicle is supposed to be split to make an
"X" shape. It cuts a way better silhouette that way. And yes, the twins
will be in season 3.
Regarding the leaked images of Rodimus Prime, Strika, Spittor and Blackout Derrick commented with
Ugh. I hate leaks. They always have the
worst quality images. Not even any color! Oh well. Maybe you can see
that Spittor's Cybertronian vehicle form is inspired by Don Figueroa's
totally freaking awesome BW comic pre-beast Spittor design. And General
Strika! Chalk up another personal Transformers life goal for yours
truly!

Derrick Wyatt has posted a comment on his blog regarding the Transformers Animated Jetfire and Jetstorm toys of which the first images recently hit the internet. Reaction to the toys has been pretty poor through the fan community thus far and so Derricks comments might change a few opinions or at least add to the opinions.
"I wouldn't rush to judgment on the Jetfire and Jetstorm figures yet.
Those are some pretty terrible pictures that are out there right now.
The pictures I saw way back of the grey prototypes looked really good.
And yes, of course they have hands! In both robot modes! The promo pics
are just mistransformed. Once they are properly transformed and posed
out, they should look pretty cool."

Derrick Wyatt has replied to a question raised ourselves in response to another question by Perceptor of Unicron.com regarding the Transformers Animated season three rumours that they received. Derrick replied with the following to Perceptors question
"Perceptor@unicron.com's question is a good one! I've been trying to
think of a way to answer without unleashing a mess of spoilers. But, I
haven't figured out how to do it yet".
To which we followed up with "guess we can take that as at least some of it is true, otherwise it would be an easy debunking answer". In response to our question Derrick replied with "Yes, you are right. In Perceptor's comments, one bit is true. One part
is confused (probably by a person seeing a design and making
assumptions). One is just flat out wrong.".
So there you go, one part is wrong, one is confused and one right. For those who can not remember the post at Unicron.com here it is again
"* Yes, there will be a season 3, Transformers Animated.
* (at least some) Episodes have been recorded.
* Transformers Animated Season 3 will begin with a multi-part episode.
* As of now (subject to change) it is scheduled to air, "next spring."
*
For those of you who don’t know, Bob Forward and Larry DiTillio were
the Executive Story Editors and storywriters (in my opinion) largely
responsible for the popularity of the Beast Wars Transformers cartoon
series. For this forthcoming Transformers Animated episode, they share
credit on story and script. It is the first time they have worked
together since Beast Wars. The episode title (subject to change) is:
PREDACONS RISINGWe have been told, it should be a surprise treat for all Beast Wars Fans."

Derrick Wyatt has posted another comment on his blog, this time in regards to the Cybertronian modes for the Decepticons, or rather the lack thereof. "Megatron is the only one of the main five Decepticons a Cybertron
vehicle mode was designed for. We have Cybertron vehicle designs for
all five of the main Autobots"

Thanks to
Oddsey for reporting on our message board that the Rescue Ratchet toy that is a target exclusive will be released within the UK in November as a
Tesco Direct figure. Tescos sold many of the Target exclusive figures during the Transformers Movie line, so perhaps their deal is an ongoing one.

Transformers Animated Art Director/Lead Character Designer Derrick Wyatt has posted some comments on his blog relating to the current rumours regarding Season 3 of Transformers Animated.
"A quick note about Rodimus, Cyclonus and season 3 in general. Take everything
you guys are reading on the boards with a grain of salt. ALL the people posting
spoilers that I have read so far have been putting up inaccurate info. Some WAY
off. Even those with Hasbro connections and posters who have been a good source
of information in the past seem to have gotten some REALLY bad info."

In a follow-up to the news we broke last week regarding the Toys R Us UK exclusive Transformers Animated Ratchet and Bumblebee 2-pack, Break has now sent us through two images of the pack which should silence anyone who doubted the report. Click on the thumbnails below to view the high-resolution images.

The 9th poll on TransformersAnimated.com has now finished and the votes have been counted. The poll asked the question "Which Animated DVD will you buy?" and here are the results.
US release - 66%
UK release - 11%
Not buying - 10%
Other - 6%
Australian release - 6%
German release - 1%
No real suprises, though the poll did start before we broke the news that the UK release of Transformers Animated would not be in a complete box set.
The new poll is regarding the Transformers Animated comics from IDW and Titan Magazines and asked which of the comics are you buying, or plan to buy?
In a bug fix, the showtimes / TV schedule page has had its AJAX called fixed.
