Official Images of 2009 Wave 1 Animated Activators Cliffjumper and Dirge

In G1, yeah. Is this G1?

He looks like he's had it up to HERE with listening to Sentinel's endless stream of BS.

And Optimus Prime is a FREIGHTLINER

And Jazz is a PORSCHE

And Ironhide has a STICKER BEHIND A WINDSHIELD for a head

Odd choice. We've still got Sunstorm and Femmescream that need to be made, why do another Starscream repaint that's not even in the show first?

Looks decent enough, though, and I do love the Activator Starscream mold.

Not in the show now, but odds on, there may be more clones in the future...

Sunstorm, "Bitchscream", and Ramjet...

There's also no Activators Skywarp. I was hoping to have them all in Activators form... Dirge just throws things off by tossing one in that hasn't appeared yet.



Chris

I think they should have made thrust instead.
Dirge is already getting that comic battle toy.

Yet.

Who knows what the future will bring for the show or the Comic. That said, while I dig the fact that they tried to keep with Dirge's G1 colors and style, this little clone has got to be one of the ugliest TF's I've ever planned on buying. (Ronald McDonald Prime and Overload excluded)

Cliffjumper is cool tho. I hope that we'll see a larger version later on. Like a Cybertron version since BB and Wasp also share a similar body type.

WANT Cliffjumper!

Well, personally not buying any Activators (they're nice, but not my cup of tea). But awesome for all those whom like them. Frankly, I'm hoping that we get a Deluxe version of Cliffjumper with that head... that head is awesome! It just needs to be put on Bumblebee (actually, considering that we've never seen Cliffy with an Earth mode... I wouldn't be surprised if the eventual Deluxe Cliffjumper is done out of Wasp -as he'll more than likely be in their Cybertronian form if it's based on his season two appearance- as all three share the same overall design).

Dirge... Activators can keep Dirge... even if he eventually shows up in the show Activators can keep Dirge. It's freakin' fugly...

The wings on Dirge are sooo G2-colored...

Cliffjumper I want.

Well I guess this kills the possibility of the female clone being called Dirge...

I LOOOOOVE Cliffjumper. He's the chinniest of them all!

And Dirge? Bwah? Didn't see that coming.

Agreed! I hope you're right.

Other than the orange canopy and the yellow wings being a little more toward green on the Activator, I'd say that color palate is already very close to G1 Dirge.

Yeah, but we've seen a listing for an Activators Ramjet, so he's most likely coming eventually. We haven't seen anything regarding the other two, so that's why I only mentioned them.

I like the looks of the Dirge he looks cool but Thundercracker looks a lot better. Cliffjumper looks really cool so I may be getting him.

Dirge!!!!
odd colors on him but i like it i hope they do all the seekers in that mold

Cliffjumper looks realy good

Dirge's coloration makes my puke last night seems like a nice artistic abstract palette like that of Picasso.

Dirge is a big wtf, hope we still get a Ramjet now though...

Sold on both.
DN

I'll be buying both. They're both (IMO) great molds, and I really like Dirge's Geetooey colour scheme.

i hope that if Cliffjumper gets some lines he's voiced by Leno. that would make my day

Cliffjumper is cool, but I have no interest in Starscream's clones, in any size classes.

I like them both. Though Dirge's wing colors are a bit unattractive. But I can live with it. I thought they were light brown or tan in the thumbnail, but when I enlarged it I was like "Whoa!! That's...not...right..."

Ohh, nice!! I would try to get Cliffjumper since he was in the animated series and that he looks somewhat different than BB.

I think it's funny that Cliffjumper also has the siren on the roof... wish it didn't.

dirge looks like ass

Except so far as we know Dirge isn't a clone, and there hasn't been anything to suggest otherwise.
DN

He sorta has to, since you press down on the siren to activate the transformation.

Eh, pass. Not Interested.

Not to mention it's pretty cool how they made it part of his design like a brooch.

What - you mean like Thundercracker's toy completely... fails to match Egomaniac's colour scheme?

Ummm...I was just talking about Dirge, and basically that he isn't meant to be one of the current on-screen clones. Not sure where you got anything about Thundercracker out of that...

On a side note, would be kinda funny if they made Dirge out to be a failed clone, and that Starscream had to shut him down or something.

Cliffjumper is cool, but Dirge is... different. Hopefully this means we get a Voyager Ramjet.


Yup. Pretty cool since he's only a basic.

Cliffjumper = ROCK!!

Do want. at this price, i'll pick up any starscream repaint activator.

Well, that WOULD probably make him depressed. Fitting!

When I heard they were making them at this size I Why not deluxe Cliffjumper and voyager Dirge

1. Activators needs to have repaints too.

2. They may come later, its not good to have many of the same mold on shelf at once. Deluxe Bumblebee is getting Elite Guard repaint and Voyager Starscream getting a Skywarp repaint. Having a few of the same mold of Activators is okay because they are so small and cheap.

Bah - I was really looking forward to buying Cliffjumper, but that bloated head looks awful to me. It's like Bumblebee fell over and got an air pump stuck in his mouth. I guess I'll have to see it in person and decide for sure then if I might want it, but the massive chin thing is starting to get old.

As for Dirge, it just looks 'off' to me. I already have the Starscream, so all I want is Skywarp and Thundercracker for my mini Seeker trio. Never did like the Coneheads, so much so that I don't bother to remember which is which.

Dirge looks terrible, but Cliffjumper is too cute not to buy. I like how that Activators mold has a rather blank, smooth face panel. They moved 'Jumpers mouth up a bit higher, giving him a bit more chubby chin, and almost giving him some kind of bear face. I really like it!

me to i love this line

But even the body is off. The blue is a lot lighter than I'd prefer, almost a teal. That combined with the greenish-yellow wings and it's just ugh.

I'll probably still get him, as the affordability of Activators makes it easy to be a completest with this subline. But he definitely won't be one of my favorites.

Dirge's colours clash too much.
