sourceTo add to the anticipated release of Transformers Animated Electrostatic Soundwave and Freeway Jazz in November of this year, it appears that we have more release dates about a couple of other figures from the now-defunct series.
According to an answer provided by Hasbro to Raving Toy Maniac's question and answer session, they have revealed that Cybertronian Ratchet and Arcee will be releasing in the Spring 2010 timeframe!
"[W]e are pleased to announced that Animated Deluxe Cybertronian Ratchet and Arcee will be released in Spring 2010," Hasbro states.
The-Arker has posted some new in-packaging images of two Transformers Animated figures that were first shown at Botcon 2009. The toys are Cybertron Mode Ratchet and Arcee. Both figures will be Toys R Us exclusives within the US. You can view the profiles and Galaactic Powers of both figures below.
Deluxe Cybertron Mode Autobot Ratchet
Back when the war was at its worst, even the Autobots who weren't programmed to fight were called into battle. More than once, Autobot Ratchet was forced out onto the battlfield not just as a medic, but as a warrior. They're not memories he likes to recall, but he learned more than one lesson that has saved his life in the years since.
Galactic Powers & Abilities
* Injured Autobots often request him as their medic.
* Specializes in modifying armor and weapons to peak conditions.
* When forced to fight, usually shoot to disable, instead of destroy.
Deluxe Arcee
Arcee has dedicated her life to the power of information. As a teacher, she saw to it that young Autobots all learned the value of the facts, and how to tell truth from lies. During the war, she turned her dedication to the truth to carrying data for the Autobot High Command, often from deep behind enemy lines. She will face any danger to defend what is right, no matter what the cost.
Galactic Powers & Abilities
* One of the top sword fighters on Cybertron
* Modified to make rocket-powered jumps in car mode.
* Encrypted memory core is nearly impossible to hack.
