I personally don't see much special about the Activators having only recently discovered the Beast Wars spring loaded changers last year. And I'm pretty surprised BB gets so much love. I don't think he's that cool a toy. My vote went to Optimus, not perfect but I'm a sucker for a good looking Prime, especially at that size.

That's fine, but for the rest of us the Flipchanger concept is 13 years old now.Originally Posted by STL
This is the first time we've seen a new take (revision) on the "one-touch-transformation" concept since 1996, and the first time we've seen it done with vehicular Transformers since Machine Wars in 1997.

Ratchet gets my vote for looking great in in both modes. The bot mode is perfectly proportioned and very little needed to flip and fold in conversion. Starscream should have been the clear winner but those visible arms in alt mode sets it back behind Ratchet.
Bumblebee has a fascinating auto-convert but I cannot stand those elongated arms.

The rest of us? Most of the people currently on this board are new since Beast Wars. Spring-loaded TFs are considered a new (or under-exposed) concept to most, as very few would have any basic sized BW toys. And even if they did, these are a little more complex than those shell-formers.

Yes, spring loaded auto transformation is nothing new. But Activator BB has pushed the technology to butter-smooth perfection!

Starscream. Best. Animated. Toy. Period.
(IMO)
Eagerly waiting for Masterpiece Meister
