Three more of the new Activators class of Transformers were released here this week in the guises of Lockdown, Optimus Prime and (Autobot) Ratchet. It still seems like Hasbro is dragging out the release schedules of the Animated series as this comes four months after Wave 1 was released. In that time, we’ve already had two waves of all classes in the Universe range – which only started towards the end of July. Come on Hasbro, pull your socks up!
The Animated launch assault continues with the Activators series. This is a new range of toys aimed squarely at the youngsters that used to receive the Legends class and indeed the age guidance on these is now 4+ instead of the 5+ recommendation that the Legends class received. So, Hasbro are out to get even more sales by trying to appeal to the 3-4 year old market now? Makes me feel proud to be amongst that age range!!! Size-wise, they are bigger then the Legends but still about 50% of the size of a Deluxe class so not such a bad size really. Pricing is also about half way between the price of the Legends and Deluxe classes too so it fills the gap quite nicely.
