Just to keep all the info in the thread so people don't have to look elsewhere, here is the summery:
1. Transformers Animated 'Bumpber-bots' is the name of the new Cyber-slammer type line.
2. One of these 'Bumpber-bots' (Cyber Slammers) will be Animated Bumblebee.
3. Animated 'Activators' are scout-sized versions of characters which feature spring loaded transformations.
4. Universe Legends were listed
5. A supreme-scale 'Roll Out' Optimus Prime that has a moving mouth with sounds from the cartoon!"
As I said before, I'm interested in seeing what the Activators look like. My biggest complaint about Fast Action Battlers was that they cost the same as the Deluxe class. Sure, that makes all the voyager-sized characters available at a cheaper price point, but all of the FABs of deluxe-sized characters were really only so kids could have less complicated versions of the Movie characters. Which is fine, that was smart on Hasbro's part, but it kinda sucked for adult collectors when the only Concept Camaro version of Bumblebee on the shelves was the FAB version. I was like, I really want CC Bumblebee, but I'd rather spend $10 on deluxe-sized BB than $10 on FAB BB.
So having, perhaps, the whole cast as scout-sized Activators could be really cool. That way, those of us that kinda get hung-up on scale can get Prowl as a scout-sized figure, if we want. It will still depend on how good Activators look, of course.
