    i stayed off activators til i realised activators bumblebee is the best animated bumblebee there is.. after that, i kept buying one after the other til i completed the line.. theyre so cool :D  sure, some are not so great.. bulkhead and lockdown, for example, are not so great.. but bumblebee/cliffjumper, grimlock and megatron are so awesome..

    My thoughts too. Starscream and Thundercracker are awesome. Ratchet is a close second.

    Bumblebee is pretty cool, but his arms/hands are pretty weak looking.

    I hated Prime and Grimlock and stopped picking them up after those two.

    Activators are priced less than Deluxes, which have been hanging around $11 - $12 for a little while now, although it's damn close in some places (I've seen them as high as $9.29 in some location).

    As far as good figures in that line, you can't go wrong with the Starscream mold.

    I don't have any Activators, they're priced too high for what they are IMO. For smaller bots I stick with Legends.

    I've read/heard that Activators BB is better, scale-wise, than Deluxe BB?

    Is this the case? I've got Leader Bulkhead, Voyager Prime, and Deluxe Ratchet and Prowl. Seems Activators BB would fit in with those best, yet I'd like to see some comparison shots or hear from folks who have the same figs.

    Bumblebee/ Cliffjumper are the only ones worth the price tag.

    I never got any except for Thundercracker and hes pretty damned good. Son opened his Target 2packs and tinkering with ratchet and BB not too shabby, another reason to mourn the animated line

    I am tempted to get some so my Voyager Bulhead is to scale with something.
