Why do all the other Dinobots have helmet-like faces and Grimlock has a regular mouth? Makes no sense to me.
These and the 2nd wave before it will be the last of my Kreons if they don't go back to putting IDs on the bind bagged figures. Not wasting money on doubles.

Transformers Colombia , a Facebook fan page, has provided the first official in and out of package images of the upcoming Age Of Extinction Power Attackers Galvatron, courtesy of group member Felipe León Nájera. What makes this so special is, he's packaged in a box, instead of a card! This is the first time we're seeing figure packaging like this for a recent US Transformers line. Will we see more? Is this the start of a new trend? Only time will tell, and you'll know as soon as we do!
Galvatron features a spinning chest grinder feature and has a limited, kid friendly transformation as part of the simplified and gimmick-based line of Age Of Extinction toys.

Another sighting from Bounti76, this time for the Transformers Age of Extinction line: the two-pack Evolution Optimus Prime set! Including a repaint of the Classics Voyager Optimus, and the Age of Extinction Generations Voyager Evasion Mode redeco with new head sculpt exactly the same head, just with painted eyes (contrarily to all stock and promo photography) - photo proof below! These figures also come from a Toys R Us in Murray, Utah; make you sure you flag up your own sightings in the appropriate section too!

For our Canadian friends and fellow fans, william-james88 has spotted the Toys'R'Us.ca listing for the Age of Extinction Optimus Evolution two-pack we just reported on. Priced at 49.99 CDN$, it appears to come with French included on the box, meaning that its distribution will not be limited to the Anglophone areas! Expected shipping date is October 17, and can be found here.
Optimus Prime meets Optimus Prime in this awesome 2-pack! You can see the evolution of your favorite Autobot from then to now in these 2 Optimus Prime figures. Both your classic and your Age of Extinction Optimus Prime figures convert from robot mode to semi truck mode and back. Can the Decepticons handle not one, but 2 fighting Optimus Primes? Its up to you!
Includes 2 figures.
Optimus Prime figure pack includes 1 classic figure and 1 Age of Extinction figure
Both figures convert from robot mode to vehicle mode
Each figure comes with blaster
Both figures convert in 8 steps

This is a very interesting picture....you can't really tell from my picture, but I'm positive that the Optimus in the Evolution pack I spotted did NOT have the faceplate shown on TRU's Canadian listing. Odd.

Does this blasted pack come with a faceplate Evasion Prime or not! The shown shows no faceplate while advert pic shows a faceplate! This may be my only chance to get the faceplate variant without paying rediculous prices.

The Kreons... eh. If it wasn't for the names, I don't think I could tell them apart. Think I'll just pass on them.
I really wish they wouldn't cast those parts in clear. Would've been great to have the option to go either Movie-accurate grey or toy-accurate colors, but translucent looks terrible.
Galvatron reminds me of this guy:
"He's really showing us what a man with a cannon in his chest can do."

Is that really a new head sculpt? It does not appear to have the faceplate, which was first hinted at with an in hands image of these figures. This pic almost confirms that to me. And that means that the stock pic showing the faceplate is not correct.

I'm not entirely sure myself, now. The picture initially looked like it did have the faceplate, but looking at it again, maybe not.
And Bounti76 has confirmed that it did not have one.

No faceplate, unfortunately. Someone posted a bunch of pix on w2005.
Wish the "Classic" mold was decoed like Henkei, and EMOP like in the 5-pack.
The back of the box looks nice. With illustrations of MP-10 and the new movie body.

I can assure you the news staff member in question has good vision, the pictures were blurry, we have always been told and shown that it should have a faceplate. As the stock photo from the Canadian TRU also claims.
But as I said above, this appears to no longer be the case.

To be fair, we posted that same batch of images too, but I still managed to miss the lack of faceplate. Though I did I call it headsculpt instead.
In any case, I do apologise for the confusion, and encourage any further sightings to be notified in the Sightings section and forums - faceplate notwithstanding.

Fellow fan and collector, Daim Choc, has posted new images of the upcoming BBTS shared exclusive movie deco Dinobots set. Pictures courtesy of weibo user, uranusdd.
The set consists of Scorn, Slug, Strafe, Slog (oddly enough) and Grimlock (of course). This deco is as close as possible to the one seen in this summer's film, Age Of Extinction. The figures even include what looks to be a "mossy" paint application, to replicate the look the Dinobots had in the film.
Most of the paint apps consist of the aforementioned mossy look, with a few splashes of color thrown in here and there, with the majority of each figure being covered in a dip of shiny chrome, head to toe.
This is our first look at the figures themselves and in their packaging. A price and release date have not been set yet, but as soon as we find out, you will.

Seeing this just makes me sad that the Beast Hunters Predacons didn't get some sort of platinum edition joint color scheme. Like if they had 2014 voyager Predaking, Grimwing, Laserback, Skystalker and Ripclaw all done up in G1 Predacon colors to match the other three Predakings. Different mixes of black, red, yellow, orange and gray. Not to mention Abominus and the deluxe Sinnertwin and Cutthroat or you know, just releasing deluxe Sinnertwin and Cutthroat in the US at all along with Rotgut and the Autobot one.
It would be even better if they did leader Grimlock with deluxe Snarl and Slash like this in another set next year. Along with leader Grimlock with deluxe Scorn and Slash in the SDCC "G1" colors. All eight Dinobots in three different color schemes.

We've given you the Seibertron.com gallery of Age of Extinction Leader Bumblebee (a redeco of the DOTM figure), and it appears this figure is actually at retail, though only in Costco so far. This particular sighting comes from fellow member reluctantyouth, and a Costco in East Peoria, Illinois, priced at $26.99. If you come across this, or other figures we haven't reported on yet, drop us a line with pictures at sightings@seibertron.com, and remember to use the Sightings page and forums to help out fellow fans!

We keep saying "long shelf life" and "won't sell" - but we've been saying this since 2007. After even 2 years, you'd think if this wasn't a successful strategy that Hasbro would simply have ditched it. Clearly its earning a profit somewhere, and a healthy one - because they're still doing it 7 years later.

Either that or they just think it's cheaper/easier to use pre-existing molds for him. Or perhaps, these are just all the DOTM ones that failed to sell, repackaged, and ditched the mtech weapon...? Maybe hasbro figured it was better to just eat the cost of the mechtech weapons and use this old figure than it was to make 'new' ones.... A sign that even they've given up trying to improve this thing.

That might be the case, but that they've been doing this for 7 years now with the movie line still suggests its a strategy that works. If they thought making a new mold would yield a bigger profit - they'd be doing that, so either DotM Bumblebee's tooling still hasn't made a profit (which seems crazy - I can't imagine Hasbro having a sale-or-return policy and that toy was EVERYWHERE during DotM) or they think its still go some mileage for spinning a buck

They're slight repaints, if you must know. Check the galleries for comparisons.
And "repackagings" is a total misnomer. Despite the name, they're nothing more than new product runs using the exact specifications of an older toy. Hasbro does not do repackaging nor buying back stock: stores sell unsold stock to other stores for cheap.

That AOE leader Bumble was such a wasted opportunity. He could have awesome with a new mould in the old Camaro style, but alas we get DOTM Bee (which IMO is a terrible figure anyway) with less paint and minus his electrics for £35.

Seibertron member Bounti76 has sent us an image of a couple new Age of Extinction Titans figures found in a Kmart in Woods Cross, Utah. These Titans are Kmart exclusives and feature electronic sound effects and voices. They are retailing for $19.99. If you have your own new sighting, you can submit your news via the Submit News link or email them to sightings@seibertron.com.

Saw Prime almost a month ago, but hadn't realized it was news! What does Grimlock say?? Please tell me it's a G1 voice chip. I'll throw my money at it!

I saw these the other day. Optimus Prime has Peter Cullen's voice and Grimlock has a generic voice but I must admit, it does sound pretty good. It doesn't sound like Gregg Berger, but it sounds like a deep giant barbarian type of a voice (if that even made sense). He says things like 'Grimlock destroy!', 'I want to munch metal' stuff like that. I hate these titan things, but I might just get Grimlock because he talks and didn't talk in the movie.

They're still crummy shampoo bottles. Only now they can annoy you with screechy sounds!

Those Titans are so boring and silly. I'm still trying to figure out what their purpose is. I can't understand why they exist. I realize they're for kids because they're simplistic and that's fine, but the kids that would like these are too little to see or even enjoy the films anyway.

Maybe it's these that are the toys that Rick Sellers and other voice actors recorded lines for.
To be sure, what phrases does the Grimlock toy say?

Actually Hasbro bought back Rise of Cobra movie figures from Wal Mart that were sitting on shelves to get the chain to carry Pursuit of Cobra.
