BlackMagnus found some interesting Animated Activators news.

The first wave in 2009 is supposed to include Cliffjumper, which is the Activator Bumblebee with a new head, and Dirge, another Activator Starscream clone of somewhat dubious coloring.









You can see the original posting of the images here.

Seibertron's own Tekka has come across a series of new images of the upcoming Voyager figure Skywarp.

While there have been multiple previous images reported, none seen thus far have ever shown us a clear shot of the back of Skywarp's packaging.

Until now.
Skywarp's Full Character Bio, his Galactic Abilities and Quote can be seen in full in the image below:



Skywarp
Fearful Super Pilot
SKYWARP wouldnt call himself a coward. He'd call himself smart. So what if he runs away from combat? Fighting is dangerous! All those missiles and lasers could really hurt someone! As a clone of STARSCREAM, he's got all the power in and skill of the leader of the DECEPTICON air forces, but none of the courage or ambition. He could easily be one of the most dangerous DECEPTICONS of all time, but since he screams and runs away the second a shot is fired, he's mostly just a joke.

Galactic Powers and Abilities:
- Gets shot in the back more than any other DECEPTICON
- Uses his teleportation ability to run away faster
- Even just seeing a picture of MEGATRON gives him nightmares

Quote:
"They're heading right for us! Run!"

After much speculation on what Encore #12 Metroplex would have to offer in comparison to the original release, new images showcasing Encore #12 Metroplex have emerged on Chinese website tf08.net.

These new images show Encore #12 Metroplex both in and out of his packaging, as well in various modes as well as 'inbetween' modes as well.

The photos also include size comparisons to Transformers: Animated Voyagers and Activators, just to give you a good scope of the scale of Encore #12 Metroplex.

It is unclear as to how long this sale is on, but from what a few members are saying their local Walmarts are sold out. Now might be the right time to pick up an army of Acid Storms for those collectors out there who have always wanted an army of seeker drones.

EDIT:

Thanks to Highbeam for the heads up that ALL Transformers Deluxe figures are on sale. From leftover Movie figures, to Animated figures.

Walmart.com have updated their online store with two new listings for "Shift Tech Games".

The first Shift Tech game featured Animated Optimus Prime, in a series of minigames that revolved around transforming Prime.

The two new listings include a Bumblebee Shift Tech Game and an unknown Shift Tech Assortment, with both listings priced at US$16.50.

While it can be assumed that these new Shift Tech games will be similar in terms of style and gameplay as the first Shift Tech game, further details are not known at this point, but Seibertron.com will keep you informed as more information comes to hand.
