We knew it was going to happen, but the Decepticon designs have made there way out, in the form of a flyer for SDCC that advertises the new 'Transformers: Animated' series.

Here is the link to the thread that has a scanned picture of the cons.

It looks like from left to right we have:

Starscream, Black Arachnia, Blitzwing, Lugnut(?), and of course, Megatron!

Stay tuned as we keep you updated on SDCC, and if any more comes out about the new animated series in the Seibertron.com Cartoon News Section.

I'm not understanding why Black Arachnia is part of the group. Aren't these supposed to be vehicles? What's she going to become?

Megatron looks like a cross between the G1 and the movie versions.

Starscream reminds me of Launchpad McQuack.

She becomes a spider, as always. We saw this in the Botcon panel this year.

Plus, we saw a brief glimpse of Megatron at Botcon, and I don't recall his head design looking that closely to the movie design.

So anyone guess who the big guy is, I could not figure it out.

I have to look back at the Botcon stuff to see what the con names were that were given.

It's looking like they're nabbing bits and pieces from the various past Transformers series, almost like they're giving Universe it's own T.V. series. Just like the Autobot designs are a mix of Cybertron, movie and G1 designs, the Decepticons are yanking stuff from various universes as well. Movie inspired Megs, Beast Wars Black Arachnia, what looks almost kinda like a G2ish Starscream, and an almost Armada looking Blitzwing. I'm not sure if this was intention or not, but I kind of like the mish mash of styles.

Kind of makes me wonder what the Dinobots will be like...

Ooooh, can't wait to see the toys of these. I'm really looking forward to this after hearing all the positive comments from Botcon.

Now I think I have it...

The big one is...

Prime (David Kaye)
Bumblebee (Bumper Robinson--'Chris Rock' like)
Ultra Magnus (Jeff Dennis-- very Robert Stack-y)
Arcee (Susan Blu reprisal?)
Black Arachnia (Cree Summer)
Grimlock (David Kaye --did a SNL Phil Hartman Frankenstien-y voice as an example)
Lugnut (David Kaye)
Starscream (Tom Kenney)
Ratchet (Corey Burton)
Shockwave (Corey Burton)
Megatron (Corey Burton)
Jazz (Phil LaMarr, of MadTV fame)
Blurr (Reprised by John Moshita)
Bulkhead (Bill Fagerbacky-- Patrick from Spongebob)


His quote about Lugnut being a big, huge Megatron kissup, well, I assume the big one is Lugnut.

Remember that we saw two different Megatrons. The Cybertronian one, and then his Earth versions. I think they said that Megs will remain in his Cybertronian form till the end of the first season, then he'll be changed. I'm assuming that we get Earth Megs then with his closer to G1 looking head.

hmmm...little to go on.
This reminds me all too much of Advance Wars DS.

I am NOT digging this look at all.

Hopefully the toys will be decent anyways. It's not like I really watch the show anymore is it?

Same.

I'll wait and see how it turns out though, but i'm really not expecting much, so maybe, just maybe i'll be pleasantly suprised.

This is definitely interesting. I really like the G2 comicish Screamer! There's definitely a little of everything thrown into these designs here and that makes it so theres a lil' something for everyone to like! I'm excited for this!!

I was a bit 'meh' about the Autobots, except for Bumblebee and Prowl, but I'm really liking the look of the 'Cons.
(But hey, I like Teen Titans, Samurai Jack, Clone Wars and Kim Possible, so what would I know?)


--EDIT--
Gah, I wanna go home and watch some Teen Titans now, but I'm stuck slowly melting my brain into my keyboard at work instead...

--EDIT #2--
After reading the thread on TFW, I gather that the monocle guy is probably Blitzwing - if they do what they look like they're going to do and treat him like a mock-SS WW2 general type, that could seriously rock - and the... thing... in front of Megs is probably Lugnutz. I haven't been keeping up with the TFA news...

I see. Guess they needed a chick decepticon to balance out Arcee. Despite the questionable designs, I just hope the stories are worth a S#!+. I was a skeptic years ago when Beast Wars came out but the stories were so good that I learned to accept and like the designs.

You know, they don't look too shabby. I really dig the Starscream (especially the huge smirk on his face)and like someone said Megs is a hybrid of G1 and the movie.

I'm pretty sure you will be surprised with the toys when you see them. I kinda thought the same way when we first saw the designs. Then after the con, I'm more excited about the toys then the actual cartoon.

I agree with the wait and see approach for nothing else but: The only way to be suprised is to lower expectations beyond comprehension. Nevertheless I am interested in seeing how they pull it off.

a friend who saw the toys first hand says they are more impressive than these first images suggest, he reckons they were actually quite remarkable.

remember the initial rection to the very first OP image, it improved with the promo poster, then more with the botcon images, and now with the decepticons most of the posts seem quite optimistic, who knows, just like the movie a total reversal of opinion may happen, how many people who were hating BB design upon first look are now trying hard to find 08 version BB toy!

it just keeps getting worse and worse. it seems like the movie debacles just started a tidal wave of craptastic designs. these don't even look like tf's or robots for that matter. they look like shoddy villains that would've been in the justice league or batman cartoon. this is sad indeed.

It's probably going to either end up being the best TF cartoon ever, (Seriously), Or it could fall flat on its face and suck big donkey balls . So I guess we will have to wait and see people.

Seriously... I haven't seen the new movie yet. I couldn't be bothered to go to one of the previews last weekend, and I can't be bothered to go out tonight to see it on release night. I'll probably go see it sometime in the week.

If you gave me a choice, right now, of spending $10 to watch a feature-length movie with all the leaks and hype surrounding it, or spending the same amount to take a blind chance on the 30-minute first episode of the new cartoon, I'd choose the cartoon. There more I see and read about it, the more excited I'm getting about the prospect of something truly fresh for the franchise.

Meh. Starscream and Blitzwing look okay, I suppose... I hope the toys are better than this. If not, at least it gives me a break from buying for awhile.
