Animated Activators wave 4 (Grimlock, Megatron and Bandit Lockdown) - OUT

Nevermore · Post by **Nevermore** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 11:22 pm

Megatron and Grimlock were officially shown at San Diego Comic-Con.

Bandit Lockdown (a redeco of regular Activators Lockdown) has never been seen before, but an entry for a toy of that name has been found on Wal*Mart's public website a few weeks ago.

Megatron
Grimlock
Bandit Lockdown

It's a shame Megs doesn't have his cannon.

I'd really like to pick up an Animated Megs - I love the Super Megs homage - but don't want to shell out for the Leader... But he does need his cannon.

Mmm... yeah, cannons are good. mind, i'd just custom cast one myself, but that's beside the point. Soldering iron and modeling clay, anyone? S*** Failed.

Don't really get the relationship between bandits and dino fossils.

At first I was going to buy all the activators (I love scout class TF`s

), but I`ll pass on that Lockdown.

I would have Thought Bandit Lockdown was based on his poncho`s colors from A Fistful of Energon. But, yeah, I don`t see how it has anything to do with the toy`s name.

For tiny toys, those aren't too bad. I like Lockdown in blue for some reason O.o. They look like they have more articulation now compared to some of the mini cons and other smaller tf's of that size category.

You see, THAT is what pisses me off about the Minicon size class now. Hopefully the 25th Anni Jolt will at least be Legend-like.

Eh, don't like activators, give me a deluxe to supreme any day.

Grimlock has been sighted.

No pics for Megatron or Bandit Lockdown, but they were supposedly there too.

Saw the wave this morning at my Walmart. Eh. Might pick up Grimlock. Bandit Lock looks fugly in person, and Megs just doesn't seem worth it.

I was hoping they'd do Grimmy. He looks pretty good.
