News from Botcon: Transformers Animated

Coming to you from Botcon in Cincinatti, check out the latest and greatest from the Transformers: Animated product line!

The new Transformers: Animated series brings exciting new battles and adventures to Cartoon Network every Saturday morning! With great action and cool characters you can be sure to be entertained! Our designers coupled the stylistic design from the animation with fun product features to bring these characters to life in ways you could not imagine, taking the Autobot and Decepticon battle from the TV screen straight to you.

By the way, stay on the look out for the future of the Transformers Animated line. We may introduce new characters along with our more traditional ones, but there will always be homage to the G1 series mixed in (HINT, HINT).
