Can a model enter base contact with an Impersonation Marker to automatically reveal it?

There's a line on the Wiki that would imply yes

"The Impersonator reveals automatically when he is in base contact with another figure. " But it doesn't mention another model forcing it in there.

If it does get revealed, if the enemy model is ending it's 2nd movement in base contact what ARO's are possible at that point? CC? Shoot before it gets there?

No. The Impersonator would have to move into b2b to be revealed (same goes for Camo markers - only the active Camo marker can reveal by entering b2b). The full FAQ section of the wiki needs to be looked at:

" Can a model enter base to base contact with a Camouflage or Impersonation Marker?

No. (my emphasis) Also, a Camouflage or Impersonation Marker that enters in base to base contact with an enemy is automatically revealed the moment it touches the enemies base.
"

Gotta read the entire entry. ;)
