ACtoys- There hasn't been a lot of new information in the Transformers Animated Activators toy line lately.

The last items we heard about were upcoming Cliffjumper and Dirge repaints (Cliffjumper head remold though).

Finally, for those interested in this style, size, and representation, there is news of a new character and mold to be released at some point in this line.

Transformers Animated Soundwave looks to be making an appearance in this line at a point to be determined. No reference to any Lazerbeak, but he does not like to be included in any way.

Check out the original thread here, and the images below.

Not bad. It emulates the bigger toy pretty well.

Looks pretty cool.

Looks to be another triumph for the people behind the activator's line...

That's actually fairly good.

Hey, that's pretty good for an Activator.

Only just bought my first activator the other day (Ratchet) and they are actually really cool little toys and are fun to just transform back and forth (although I hear Lockdown is not so good).

Soundwave looks awesome though. I'll pick him up if I can find him.

I liked the Starscream I got, so I might get this one. The Deluxe looked better though. Still not bad.

Criminy, that's impressive. I actually did a double-take, because I only glanced at the first image and thought it was the Deluxe.

That's nice and is going on the to buy list for my smaller scaled Animated set, but I can't help but feel that this is a missed opportunity. Activator Soundwave could have been a nifty way to get a pre upgrade figure out, referencing his to date sole cartoon appearance.

The only activator I've actually bothered with was a Bumblebee for my son...But I think it's a pretty neato little toy and I have fun messing around with it...

Well now, this is badassed. I love the Activator line, a shame all the Animated characters aren't getting the Activator treatment. A must buy for me.

What does Henkei have to do with this?

I have activators of Bumblebbe, Starscream and Lockdown.
I especially like Lockdown because he doesn't have enormous hips like the deluxe version does.

This one looks pretty nice, but I already have the deluxe one so I think I'll skip this one.
