Am I getting confused in my old age or was there some sort of an announcement that one of the AoE toys was going to be a metallic painted Op using the Voyager Battle Blades Optimus Prime mould? :-?

Got mine in yesterday, late night.
Looks good in box, at least it was chromed and not painted as I had worried previously.
At least now this set is done with and can be assembled together in front of the Ark for some nice flicks.

got mine and i love it, interesting that it uses the exact same box as the regular Slog, even the regular Slog product shots. the figure itself looks so good with my SDCC Dinobots now. He'll make a fine Classics Slog for now

Actually, the G1 Dinobots came out in 1985, so it really is the Thrilling Thirty for this fig.

At least in the US it is, but Amazon may have sold some to overseas importers (Strange concept, I know). I'm 15 minutes from the Plainfield IN Distribution Hub (Used to work there as Holiday temp...) so I figured I might get some of the first out.

Dog-goneit, I've been beaten out too many times for News credits, I won't be had this time!

I was wondering if anyone would comment on his Bathroom Selfie. I was actually heading for a soak in the tub when I found his box propped up near my bedroom door. And hey, would you believe it's better than my bedroom?

Also, so I've been told, some of the best Twincast/Podcast recordings have come from a Porcelin Studio.

I'll stop now...

It looks awesome, but I'd probably want it more if I had the SDCC dinobot set for him to go with. I'll get regular slog to go with my AoE dinobots.

What I've really been holding out for is a Nemesis deco on that mold... hopefully that's what AD-18 is:

That's a placeholder image. There is no "AD18" (or "AD19" either). The numbers got skipped for some reason.

That mold also already got the "evil/black Optimus redeco" treatment in Darkside Optimus Prime.

Well, that's what the listing is, so AD18 is all I have to refer to.

Lawson's exclusive doesn't count. It's not a Nemesis deco.

It's an old listing that hasn't been followed through. And those silhouettes aren't of a toy, but of the CGI models.

I really fail to see your point. What are you trying to prove?

I know it's a placeholder. I know it's the silhouette of the CGI model. So what? I expressed my hopes for what it is - that's it. Until this listing (regardless of the name or number) is definitively revealed there's not much else to say.

What I'm trying to say is that the listing isn't for anything. It and AD19 were both originally listed with the rest of the Wave 2 Movie Advanced Series toys, but when Wave 2 came out, these two didn't. The line progressed and moved on without bearing any results for those two numbers. The line is pretty much over now with every revealed toy already released and on the market, barring any surprise exclusives that might turn up (which "AD18" and "AD19" weren't since they were part of the main line). There's nothing left to look forward to from any "AD18" or "AD19". The line simply skipped over those numbers for reasons unknown.

Is it safe to assume the last of the AOE Constructbots have been canceled? I remember seeing we were supposed to get more of those foil bagged "Dino Riders" like movie Starscream and I think ROTF Megatron. What about those fully transformable Kreo kits?

I spotted AOE Constructbot bumblebee recently and I had never seen him before.

It was a wave 1 set. These Dino Riders I'm talking about were going to be Wave 3, or 4 figures. Should've been out before the holiday.
