New Activators!

Cliffjumper! (http://www.tfw2005.com/resources/autobot-activators-259/cliffjumper-1882/)

And Dirge! (http://www.tfw2005.com/resources/decepticon-activators-260/dirge-1962/)

I think it's great they gave Cliffjumper a different head, even if it is a bit fat.

Dirge is the most awesomest ever ;) This post is possessed. :rolleyes:

Sure is! I want! :) :)

Im getting Cliffy,
Erm Dirge wasnt shown in the toons isnt it? I remember only, 5 clones - Ramjet (White liar), G2 Ramjet (female), Skywarp (coward), Thundercracker (arrogant), Sunstorm (exceedingly helpful). Wonder if Hasbro will do the clones in normal size..? any rumors guys?

[kup]

I'll get them, I like Activators and both are good molds. However Cliff's head looks ridiculous.

[Gutsman Heavy]

I LUUUUURRRRVVEEE Cliffy.

Dirge is... interesting.

I just rewatched that segment of the episode. You are right, there was no Dirge. The only conehead there was Ramjet.

hmm.. I think that I may reconsider buying that repaint then.

They went to the trouble of giving CJ a whole new head? :eek:

Wow! There's a first! :) (Maybe this will be the beginning of the end of Bumblebee/Cliffjumper one-in-the-same... :D)

[GoktimusPrime]

Yay! Cliffjumper isn't a straight repaint of Bumblebee!! (took them several years to realise it, but hey). :D

..interesting use of Cliffjumper's Japanese name there kup. :p

that head looks reasonably show-like to me given it's an Activator.

Kinda reminds me of the A-Wing fighter pilots' helmet from Star Wars. :p

There were two more active clones in 'A Fistful of Energon' (plus about fifty others without (all)sparks - one of whom could have been turned into Dirge behind the scenes.)

'Original' 1984ish Starscream:

And Skywarpish G2 Ramjetish Starscream:

Fix'd! :)

The Cliffjumper was already revealed at the SDCC panel, and Soundwarp, MV75 and I on Saturday were only just talking about how it had a new head compared to Bumblebee (but still the same vehicle mode - at least the head is a start...).

I'm a bit surprised that with all the Starscream Clones in the cartoon, that we would be hoping get released as toys, they do a colour scheme that wasn't used. I hope this doesn't mean they don't plan to do any more of the show colour clones.

[i_amtrunks]

Perhaps there will be a Dirge coloured clone in season 3?

I'm guessing that the toy was released to keep the name in constant use?

[MV75]

The clones are the pinnacle of lazy though. At least G1 had some differences, even if it was just the wings/tailfins. Just get a starscream and you have them all. :D Unless they actually remould for the "female" starscream.

Anyone feel like forking out for a stolen Megs or Grimmy Activator (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/animated-8/new-transformers-animated-activators-in-package-165803/)?

[MV75]

Mmmmm tfw not working again.

I think we may have to do grabs from them and photobucket them when we link news here because of how unreliable they've become. Or even further links for if their news is linked to yet another site such as Ebay auctions or other fan sites.

EG: I have a feeling they've linked an ebay auction? If so, give the link straight to that as well as the tfw site. :)

EDIT: Hey look at that, working. :)

I wonder if tfw is hosted in any of the Hurricane and/or flood affected areas on the USA mainland?

They have been down a lot the past week or so.

TFW works fine for me but Seibertron has been down all day.

Yeah the owner of Seibertron is working on the site, as well as having troubles with his hosting. To top it off, he store his databases and everything in his basement which has been flooded from storms. Should be running again tonight if all goes okay...

[SilverDragon]

I think that the Activator Starscream mold is going to be the Dinobot of the Animated line and be repainted loads of times. We already have Starscream himself, Thundercracker, Dirge, Ramjet (apparently), and probably a Skywarp to compliment the Voyager-sized toy.
