Thanks once again to Break for letting us know about his latest find at Toys R Us (in the UK).
My ToysR Us had the Transformers Animated Activators in today - and they are quite nice toys for the price of £4.99 (they are basic size so could have easily been marked at 7 quid by Hasbro). They have an automatic transformation like the flip changers and are pretty poseable too - and Bumblebee is in scale to the deluxe/voyager figures! In the assortment as well as BB are Strscream & Bulkhead (who seems to have made it into every scale except deluxe so far)
