I've just gotta say, I love that caption on the voyager prime pic.--Carrion 13:41, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Price Points and Sub-lines?

So, I see Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader price points. I see an "Activators" sub-line. What's their schtick? Is "Roll-Out Command" a sub-line, or just a unique Optimus toy filling his Leder-class gap? I assume "Legends" and "Scout" will still exist? JW 14:34, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

"Activators" are the renamed "Fast Action Battlers" if I recall. Toyline for younger kids.--RosicrucianTalk 14:55, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Not quite that, though they sort of fill the same niche. FABs are chunkier versions with simpler transformations and spring-loaded missile gimmicks. Activators are chunkier, simpler versions with one-touch, spring-loaded transformations and no other gimmicks (as far as I can tell). So far, the "Roll-Out Command" OP does appear to be unique in having that title.--Apcog 15:30, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
I think the Activators are also Basic-sized, unless the guy in the video Thy took has HUGE hands. --M Sipher 15:55, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Hasbro's site calls the activators "scout-scaled" toys. They will also release a handheld video game type thing and the OP battle-rig gun as Animated prime. Also, the new movie legends figures, combined with the universe's announced legends-class figures, make it seem inevitable it will include legends, and quite possibily robot heroes (even though the other '08 property Transformers: Crossovers has no evidence of either of the last to sublines).--Autobotx1010 21:13, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Release Date: March 25?

So, there's a news report over on Seibertron.com saying that the first wave of Transformer Animated toys will be out next week. Anyone know if this is true? JW 19:03, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
