Nice red x's.

Don't hot link. Use photobucket.

Megatron is the best one.

Grimlock looks to be very good, both modes look like scaled down version of the (simple) Voyager toy.

Lockdown seems to be the figure to repaint doesnt he?

slightly off-topic.. what's the level 1 called (for 3 year olds+)? ie. level 2 is called Activators (for 4+)

If I'm not wrong, they will be Legends Class? or the Bumper Class? :p

Bumper Battlers are the levl 1 transformations, along with Universe Legends figures.

For me, Activators are the only redeeming feature of the Animated line, they rock!

I am looking forward to Grimlock but wish that Lockdown had normal colors.

Looking nice, but would rather have full size toys..

Wave 1 Activators are great - Bee, Bulkhead and Starscream. Wave 2 were ok, too much post conversion - Ratchet is awesome, Lockdown is a little fiddly to get into alt mode and Prime is too unstable to turn into its truck form due to the loose leg and hip joints. Robot modes are awesome besides the kibbly messy Bulkhead and stout Lockdown.

I can't wait for Megs and Grimy. I really adore this series and the nifty engineering provided.

Yay! I like the look of Megatron, and will probably get the regular coloured Lockdown. Not a fan of Grimlock based on the pics I've seen.

No problems saintly.. :)

By the way stompy, where did you get wave 2 activators from? I've been scouting Kmart 1-2 times a week, still the old stuff. :(

I am! zOMG! I might get this toy and it's so gonna be my Animated Devcon!

It'd be nicer if Hasbro actually tried to call this toy "Devcon" - but it's possible that the name might still be property of Marvel/Sunbow. They could've still tried to market it as an Autobot bounty hunter (who is just as factionally neutral as Lockdown), but I guess that might be too confusing for non G1-fans.

that lockdown is awful!!!! i like how the animated writers try to bridge hasbro repaints by claiming they will make a future episode as a reference, but that design suxs. Loving megatron scaled down

RK. Can't be arsed waiting locally anymore and ends up cheaper too. Unless there's massive sales on which is rare.

I want Megs and Grimy now. :(

The Animated Legends are looking to be quite accurate too.

I'd rather get full-size Grimlock than the activator.

I was hoping bandit Lockdown would have his poncho :(

I like Grimlock. I'm torn about Lockdown getting a repaint as a deluxe, and a different repaint as an activator. At least it means the toys are different, but I fear that give it another 7 months and we'll get Deluxe Bandit Lockdown and Activator Blazing Lockdown. I would prefer new names to "fill in the gap old name".

Hehe I think me and Icy will be the same, we want ALL the Animated series be it small, big or medium... although I'm definitely NOT going for the Bumpers..

Thanks Stompy.. I shop on RK mostly for stuff that I cannot get here in OZ. That way I can delay spending too much cause Animated and Movie items can layby here.. :p But to each his own.. :)
