Fellow Transformers fan RJ Escobedo, has found the newest wave of One-Step figures at his local Wal*Mart Supercenter in San Antonio Texas, today. This wave's new bots consist of Galvatron (first time in the simplified line), Steeljaw (probably his only toy appearance) and helicopter mode Drift.

You can see his Facebook post here on the Transformers Collecting, Trading, Buying And Selling Group and we've mirrored the image below:

Thanks to a post on Weibo, we get nice in-hand looks at the upcoming 5 figure Platinum Edition Dinobots Unleashed which include Grimlock, Strafe, Slug, Slog and Scorn. These figures feature some chrome and transparent plastic. Check out the figures below.

I never caught that they would be transluscent until now. Wasn't the whole point to be gun metal grey like in the film?

Meh, I'll stick with the Life Savers Dinobots. Because those are rather dull looking.
...
To be honest, they are wicked cool looking. However, my TF money is rather limited at the moment. Choices must be made. And a DOTM Takara Jetwing Optimus Prime for 95$ loosse and shipped is my top priority.

I got those one step figures today and opened Drift, Galvatron, and HO Bumblebee. I gotta say, they're fantastic. Each one has a really unique transformation, Galvatron's in particular is really cool.

Why did they have to put translucent plastic on these?? I would have MUCH preferred the more tarnished metallic look for the entirety of each of the figures. Translucent plastic kills the itch I had for this set. Though, on the bright side, more money for Generations and MPs. So there's that. >:oP

This Dinobot set, to me, is a perfect example of figures I'd love for good photographers to have - so I can admire them from afar.

They look nice, but more as a display piece than a toy, really. And I have my Power Rangers Dinoforce already, anyway. But dang does that first shot look good.

Clear plastic? I thought it will be all metallic silver,stew and etc! Time to customize the regular,already released ones I guess. You want something done right,do it your self!

Not been following the AoE toys really, thought Id wait it out should I fancy picking anything up.
Thought Id have a quick gander at the latest Dinobot figures and... :shock:

Posted by Alex Jones on October 11th, 2014 @ 10:05am CDT

I am sticking with the Takara black knight versions and the SDCC G1. These are awful, mainly due to the revelation of the clear plastic.

y'know, id actually bet money that theyre translucent to specifically offset them from the takara "black knight" versions, as they were pretty similar.

Pretty excited for the Dinobot pack.

In general, I'm extremely pleased with the glut of options we have for various AoE molds.

C'mon HasTak put out a better Lockdown already! I'm sure most movie fans would agree to a Lockdown with an alternate head gimmick or a flip-over battle mask like BB just to hide that horrible mug. The deluxe is a great mold but off with that head! :BOOM:

I dont even like the deluxe mold. Overly simple with a fake chest.

Plus, it doesn't scale well with anything. He's the same height as Bumblebee, for crying out loud! :BANG_HEAD:

If only the Flip and Change had some decent articulation...

This is the most screen-accurate Lockdown yet. Think about it- he just looked like a guy in a molded rubber suit.

What we need anything is a Voyager Lockdown, one that scales with the Deluxes, but stands tall next to Leader OP. And has all his big car kibble in a backpack like Galvatron, so we can mod it to come off.

As long as he keeps his car front to form his chest plate I wouldn't mind.

And once again no Snarl. I would like to find one at a resonable price that's not the lime green one.

I surprised there hasn't been a 3rd party upgrade for the deluxe Lockdown. A visor helmet, hook, sword, maybe another gun.

I wonder what the ROTF version would look like with AOE Lockdown's head and colors?

I still can't believe they didn't remark at all about Drift being a triple changer. But then, that's the level of care we just tolerate with these movies.

Hey, at last they finally understood that the robots should have AT LEAST as much screen time as humans (but obviously, they should be on screen the majority of the time)

Were they? As far as I understand it, the Black Knight versions were mostly black plastic and paint...some tarnished chrome. I can buy that it might have been to distinguish them from Takara versions, but that wouldn't explain Sludge/Slog being included, unless they just wanted another Voyager in the set. But again, as it is, I won't be getting these now unless I see them on clearance or can get the individual figures for a really good price off eBay.

I feel what the general consensus here is that the deco on these figures is interesting and nice, but not what we were expecting or wanted. This is just another skin on these molds. What I find nuts about all this is that, when all is said and done, there will be a bunch of different decos for each figure across the 2 companies, but none that actually shows them as the are in the film. That makes no sense to me.

While I agree with you, I think this is the closest we've gotten to screen accurate decos so far. Swap out the clear plastic for gunmetal grey, and maybe change Grimlocks gold-ish highlights to an earthy/muted brown & teal, and they would be nearly spot-on.

Hope we see something that's entirely screen accurate, but given the tendency to, well, not do that, I can be happy with these (hypothetically).

For those who are looking for a better Lockdown, the Dino armor Constructbots version is good and has a visor down head.

Why not trying to go the CLASSIC Lockdown route? Meaning a deluxe sized car that transform into a towering voyager high robot? Would this be possible to make it this way AND be movie accurate?

I saw the Optimus Evolution 2 pack in TRU last week, and Evasion Prime did NOT have a 'face plate'. It was just the movie head sclupt with a dab of shinier paint on the mouth-ey bits. What a burn.

I already own Evasion OP and Henkei OP. Not only that, but my new and smaller appartment make me put many TFs in storage. So, the only reason I would buy this two pack is if it's in dirt cheap clearance.

The Transformers: Age of Extinction One-Step line seems to be going nowhere - but some late comers to the plastic party may still interest some collectors out there. And fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999 provides us a new video with a look at another figure from the line, High Octane Bumblebee, below!

Utilizing the "Butterfly" style of transformation Bumblebee, as it appeared early on in Age of Extinction, is represented here. Basically the toy is a re-shell of Drift with new arms and a new head. A fun figure that could make an excellent desk toy. Highly recommended.
