Runamuck:
Wow, Dirge's colors are pretty gross. Cliffjumper looks pretty awesome, though.
shibamura_prime:
I like that shade of teal on Dirge. I like the Activators Starscream a lot so I may pick this sucker up.
Powersa:
That's a Dirge with Screamer's head.
ActionMasterZod:
Glad too see that the cliffjumper looks really good, seeing that I am skipping the BB version to get this mold.
Even though the Dirge is a starscream repaint, I'm not going to touch that thing with a ten foot stick.
Ravenxl7:
Cliffjumper looks really good. Dirge, not so much. The teal isn't bad, but the yellow-ish color ruins it for me. I'll be getting the Cliffjumper one, but I'll wait for the Ramjet Activator we'll be getting.
Edit: Is it just me, or does Cliffjumper's head make him look like he should transform into some kind of bull?
Dirge121:
Holy crap. Do want Animated Dirge!
autobotblaster:
one word-Cliffjumper
SmokescreenGT:
Nice Cliffjumper.
rapid_fire:
holy crap, they couldn't have made cliffjumpers chin any bigger!!!
Dark_Convoy:
Is that a different head on cliffjumper?
General Tekno:
Well then - that rules out Dirge as the name of the female Starscream.
Hopefully she gets her own deluxe mold though.
Devastattor:
Dirge looks pretty nasty, Cliffjumper is as to be expected-a nice BB repaint.
shroobmaster:
When I get Cliffjumper I'll make him a sad mouth in no time, the surviving cameo-man deserves it.
Silent_Magnus:
Is Dirge meant to befemale starscream?
If not I wonder what his bio will be.

Yup. New head.
Takara_destron:
Cliffjumper is a must have for me. Dirge I'm on the fence about.

Nope, Dirge looks to be just a toy repaint, and not one of the clones in the show. I'm sure if it was Femscream it would have her color scheme and her animation model on the packaging. It'll be interesting to see what bio they give this repaint.
Omega Charge:
So here we go with the names of the clones.
MoonRacer Prime:
Cliffjumper is awesome! But dirge? He`s not even in animated?
Banshee:
The activators Starsream mold is too good to pass on the repaints. They're small and easy to display in large numbers, so bring on all the clones!
I'm not a fan of Cliffjumper, but it's mostly because of the hands. I hope they make a deluxe with a head like that.

Yeah - I was surprised they recolored the seeker mold, when they have tons of recolors waiting to happen, and instead just went with something completely random. And ugly.
trebleshot:
I like Cliffy, but a little put-off about Dirge. If his colors were closer to the G1 or even the Classics version, there'd be no hesitiation. As it stands, he may be one of the last activators I pick up.
Bumblethumper:
Where's Cliffjumper's mouth?

Under his left eye, in sort of a smirk. You can get a better look by clicking on the in-box pic.

Either it's the lighting or they're acknowledging the fact that cliffjumper had no lines in the cartoon.

It's blurred out because of the lighting. You can clearly see it in the in-package picture.
Fosterlager:
I'm digging CJ quite a bit, more so than his Classics version! Dirge is all right too, he'll fit in with the other clones, but I won't break my back to get him.

flywheels:
Dirge is kinda fugly if you ask me, but Cliffjumper looks great. Fun little mold.
Silent_Magnus:
I like the look of Cliffjumper's animation model.
Although it'd be weird for two bots forged from the same protoform to end up with the same earth alt mode.
Unless Fanzone's car is just a really commen model.
Nevermore: 
Hmmm.
Wonder if
Ramjet was an old working name for Dirge?
Velcrohead:
Rapidly tiring of Cliffjumper always being a Bumblebee repaint. I mean, come on, he even had a different mold in G1.
And that head...more specifically that chin... ugh...
Lumpy:
HELL YEAH! another dirge for my dirge collection...would like a new head, but not really gonna worry about it...i like his colors...

BB Shockwave:
Hmm, my guess - Dirge will represent the hidden true personality of Screamer, namely that he is a sad, lonely Con who just wants attention. Thus, Dirge will whine and cringe constantly and cry "Why doesn't anyone like me?" during battles, like a certain Powermaster Con...
Digilaut:
Cliffjumper one is pretty nice, although I wish he'd get at least a Deluxe at some point in the future..
I don't get Dirge. They still haven't done all the SS clones and they decide to just paint one that isn't in the show? Weird...

Well, at least this Cliffjumper got a head remold. I am okay with Cliffjumper using the same mold as Bumblebee but not when they have the same heads.
yovnocrats:
When was the last time we got a new head for a CJ repaint of BB? Has that ever happened? I'm surprised no one has mentioned that yet, it's like, a record or something.

I wonder sometimes if they had they activators redecos planned before they knew about the clones in the show.
Just look at Thundercracker, his color layout differs a lot between the show and the toy.

Hopefully they've decided to do Ramjet/ the Liar as a voyager instead of an Activator and Dirge is a replacement. The Liar is EASILY my favorite clone.

I'm convinced that the Animated bots all suffer from a sort of Chin Cancer, that causes their chins to get bigger and bigger as time goes on.
Starscream, Prowl, and Sentinel are the poster children, but poor Cliffy here is in the last, terminal stages.
Bass X0:
Transformers' chins are the same thing to them as human male's penis size are to us.
I wonder how soon we will be getting an Ironhide remold out of a Ratchet toy.
ams:
The seeker mold Activator is terrific, but it seems strange that they've gone with an overall blue-ish color for all three. It doesn't create the "visual" variety we typically see from redeco'ed molds.
I'm not one for sticking slavishly to G1, but the seven 'classic' seeker colors are so visually divergent, it's impossible to mistake them for one another at a glance... these, not so much.

Cliffjumper knows, girth FTW.
openchallenge:
i really like the voyager and activators seeker molds. it seems like the only thing they could have done to make collecting the seekers suck is screw up the colors. dirge im not too worried about, wasnt he one of the coneheads with thrust and ramjet?
the female seeker might be worth a few consessions in the overall color scheme though. she fits surprisingly well in the the decepticons.
G1Wheeljack:
Definitley getting Cliffjumper, probably passing on Dirge, his colors look fugly to me.
Lucs:
CJ all the way. BB in activators form is more in scale anyways so they'll both be put in my TFA display. I would actually pass on a deluxe CJ. Activators Dirge, no thanks
Tim Formas:
Was able to get an even higher res shot of the item in package, so everyone can see the mouth expression better. Cropped to a head-shot due to size.
ad0nis01:
does this mean were not getting a deluxe class clliffjumper?
Cliffjumper has the "jay leno chin" yikes!!!
MushroomPrime:
That's NOT Dirge, Dirge is a CONEHEAD
