Optimus Prime
The Autobots' leader is the biggest, strongest, and smartest.
Optimus Prime makes the plans and protects the humans in the war with
the Decepticons. He's awesome in big-rig mode and even more amazing as
his true red-and-blue-armored self. You wouldn't call Optimus Prime
cuddly, but he does care. He's just seen a lot of battle ... and he
knows there's more to come.
Bumblebee
He's a hot muscle car, and also the Autobot who's been on Earth the
longest. So he knows humans best, which helps explains why he's so
serious about looking after Raf. Bumblebee's voicebox was damaged on
Cybertron, so he "talks" in bleeps and blurts. He may make mistakes, but
he's eager to please Optimus Prime.
Bulkhead
This giant ATV is the muscle of the Autobots. But Bulkhead's
actually kind of sensitive -- as Miko learns when she bonds with him. At
first he was a little afraid of hurting his tiny partner, but Miko
helped him get over that. Now she even pushes him to do things that
sometimes get him into trouble. But when Miko's in danger, Bulkhead's
there to protect her.
Arcee
This is one awesome motorcycle -- sleek, fast, and powerful. Arcee is
also the Autobots' best soldier. She has a special bond with Optimus
Prime and is his "go-to" girl. As the least "flawed" of the Autobots,
she's the one they can always count on. She wasn't too thrilled to get
the job of looking after Jack, but she slowly comes to respect him as a
partner.
Ratchet
This hybrid emergency medical truck is the Autobots' medic. Ratchet
fixes limbs and gears, and he works to make do with less and less
Energon. He knows Optimus Prime best, but he doesn't want the Autobots
risking their necks to protect humans, or bringing them into the secret
base. Deep down, though, Ratchet admires what the humans bring to the
fight.
Megatron
The head of the Decepticons is just as big as Optimus Prime -- and
just as bad as the Autobots' leader is good. Whether in alien fighter
jet form or robot mode, Megatron's the most evil and deadly of all the
Transformers. He hates how much Optimus Prime cares about Earth, and
won't stop until he defeats the Autobots and makes this planet his own.
Starscream
This military fighter jet is Megatron's right-hand man. Starscream
would rather sneak up on his victims than face them head-on, which makes
him extra-dangerous. He's an expert planner, and that's one reason
Megatron keeps him around. Starscream always shows respect to his
general, but he's really just waiting for a chance to take command of
the Decepticons himself.
Soundwave
A stealth drone and the Decepticons' spy master, Soundwave has no
face and doesn't say much. He just quietly finds information to use
against the Autobots. He can tap into any transmission anywhere, except
at the Autobots' secret base. Soundwave's far-reaching tentacles can
snap through concrete, but his main tools are the tiny Deployers in his
chest.
Jackson Darby
At 16, he was just a hard-working kid slinging burgers to save up for
his first motorcycle. Then Jackson "Jack" Darby met Arcee, his guardian
Autobot, and scored a killer bike AND a big sister all in one. With
pals Miko and Raf, he helps the Autobots fight the Decepticons. Jack's
usually a smart guy and responsible leader ... except when he wants to
impress a girl.
Miko Nakadai
She's 15 and from Japan -- but you might not guess that, since she's
so into American pop culture. Miko Nakadai loves speed metal and wild
punk outfits, and her fearlessness makes her the perfect match for the
massive Bulkhead. Her thing for thrills can cause trouble for fellow
Teens Jack and Raf. But Miko means well, and she always looks out for
her pals.
Rafael Esquivel
He's quiet, shy, and usually the Teen most freaked by danger. But
when Rafael "Raf" Esquivel sees any kind of software-based tech, he goes
right into "the zone." That's handy at Autobot Central Command, since
Ratchet doesn't know much about human tech. Raf's know-how has saved
both humans and Autobots.

TheArker has posted images of two new upcoming Transformers released. The first is of Transformers Animated Activators Armor Up Optimus Prime. This redeco of Activator Optimus Prime uses a colour scheme based from the Japanese Star Convoy figure can be see here. He's new bio says "In preparation for a massed attack on the Decepticons, Optimus Prime orders his autobots to upgrade their armor. Working with Autobot Ratchet, he mounts improved armor plating on his frame, giving him the toughness he needs to withstand even the most powerful fusion blast."
Next up is a Transformers Revenge of the Fallen two-pack form the N.E.S.T. Global Alliance wave. The set is Battlefield Bumblebee vs. Infiltration Soundwave. You can view the images here.
Chinese fansite, The-Arker, has posted some new images of Electrostatic Soundwave and Freeway Jazz in packaging. The images also include their bio's which read as:
Electrostatic Soundwave
After a couple of years working alongside Laserbeak, Soundwave
realized it was time for a change. His new partner, Ratbat, lets him
lay down multiple tracks of sound at a time, creating frequencies that
can do more than just control other robots. Now, Soundwave is into
straight-up mind control. Using complex synch beats he can make people
- and even the Autobots - do whatever he wants.
Freeway Jazz
With Decepticon activity at its peak near the galaxy rim, rumors
begin to circulate that Earth may be getting more evil visitors as
well. In anticipation of incoming Decepticons, Autobot Jazz goes
undercover, inmersing himself in Earth culture where he hides in plain
site. He can enjoy the sights and sound of Earth while planning the
perfect moment to strike.
The latest issue of the Japanese hobby magazine Hyper Hobby include the first image of the Kiara Hobby 2009 exclusive recolour of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Soundwave. The toy is simply dubbed Soundwave Black Version and will be on sale at the event which takes places on August the 29th and 30th in Japan.
