Activators Starscream.

The Activators are a size class of toy originally released as part of the Transformers Animated toyline. They are chunky, small, Scout-sized figures (roughly 4 inches tall in robot mode) with spring-loaded autotransformations from vehicle to robot, but must be hand-transformed back into vehicle mode.

The line continued through the 2010-2011 Transformers toyline, though these represent characters from the live-action film series and are larger than previous Activators (similar in size to Deluxe-class figures). For the Dark of the Moon line, the Activators were further simplified and released under the "Robo Power" subline.

While TakaraTomy did release the Activators toys in their version of the Animated toyline, they were not part of a separate assortment, but rolled into the normal line, released in the same waves as the other toys. The majority of them are minimally-changed, with the only notable difference being that the Takara versions have full-color faction symbols rather than the silver/gold ones of the Hasbro releases, but there are a few truly exclusive decos in Takara's offerings, indicated by italics below.
