Comicon Transformers Animated Poster

The San Diego Comicon has been pretty good, so far.  Entertainment News International has promotional clips for both Transformers Animated and The Spectacular Spider-Man.  Both look exceptionally good, to me.

Transformers Animated has me hyped the most.  The animation for the show is being done by Mook Studios, better known for their work on Swat Kats and Eureka Seven.  As you can see in the clip, the animation is extremely fluid and pleasing.  The promotional image posted above has a few new faces on it, namely the Decepticons.  From left to right you can see: Starscream, Blackarachnia, Blitzwing (with an awesome Colonal Klink motif going), Lugnutz and Megatron.  For those not in the know, the Autobots featured from left to right are: Ratchet, Prowl, Optimus Prime, Bulkhead and Bumblebee.

Spectacular Spider-Man looks mighty fine, too.  The show’s head writer is Greg Weisman, better known as the creator of Disney’s Gargoyles, one of the most outstanding animated programs ever conceived, so I have high hopes for this series.  And as you can tell by the clip, there will be villains-a-plenty in this show.

I’d say that right now is a very good time to be a Transformers and Spider-Man fan.
