Images have surfaced of two new Animated Activators, filling out Wave 7 of the Activators class size. They are Armor Up Optimus Prime and Battlefield Bumblebee. Armor Up Optimus Prime is repaint of Activators Optimus Prime, while Battlefield Bumblebee is a repaint of Activators Bumblebee. Take a look at the pictures below.

Ok, here's the full list of Animated toys I must get along with its rating on my list:

Wingblade Optimus Prime (*****)
Rodimus Minor (*****)
Armor Up Optimus Prime (*****)
Fireblast Grimlock (****)
Ironhide (****)
Blackout (****)

I know I added Ironhide and Blackout since last time, but they're growing on me. Maybe, just maybe, I'll add Battelfield Bumblebee, Cybertronain Mode Ratchet, and that Bulkhead/Hardhead/green guy repaint.

Can you say Animated Star Convoy?

I like the color scheme, specially the silver head.

Though I would have liked it more on the Voyager version.

Hasbro probably decided to gun it out to us North Americans when all the hooplah was created about a possible Encore 19: Star Convoy.

The Star Convoy homage is neat but there's too much flat blue on the forearms and legs...needs some colour contrast. I'm still going to buy it, hehe.

Nice SC homage but what just a little boring for my tastes. BB looks pretty pointless.

Haven't got either too mold for TFA Activators yet, might pick up prime. Why does this BB look like it's been released before?

Well it's Bumblebee, so it has to be yellow. The silver colours are similar to Activators Patrol Bumblebee, who is a white and yellow recolour.

Ah yes, it was Patrol Bumblebee, this looks too much like him.

Yeah, while Patrol BB doesn't really look like Battlefield BB, they have the same visual vibe.

I wish Patrol BB was totally white and black. A G1 Prowl repaint on TFA BB would have been interesting. The yellow on Patrol BB looks so out of place.

I wish they stop repainting BB, it's alrdy horrible that they're repainting Movie BB, do they have to do the same to TFA BB?

I'll definitely get Prime when I see him, but I'm on the fence on BB.

True! But...I like the design of TFA BB. The Activators mold is especially neat. I have Cliffjumper and "normal" yellow BB Activators. I would love to have a Waspinator version to make a trio of TFA Minibot Activators.

True, I'd buy a TFA BB just to make it in-scale with other figures.

Yeah, a bit more colour contrast for Armor Up/Star Convoy OP would be very nice. :)
