Talk:Transformers Animated (toyline)
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)
Maybe someone should correct the "To be released in June" bit, since some of the toys are officially out in the US now by the sounds of it? Anyone know what the UK release date is? Shadow Mask Prime 17:26, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
SkyWarp Voyager?
Just noticed that SkyWarp seems to have been added to the Voyager list. Is that Official, or someone doing some eduacated guesses?
I'm guessing that this is something that could quite easily have just been revealled at BotCon, but I just wanted to be sure.Shadow Mask Prime 17:26, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
