Once again from infamous eBay seller lena81822, we have another in-hand image first: Rollbar from the upcoming Age of Extinction "Breakout Battle" exclusive set! Rollbar, a redeco of Generations Skids, is based on Shane Dyson's Chevrolet Sonic rally car that appeared in the recently launched Transformers: Age of Extinction film, and will be included in a three pack with a screen-accurate Evasion Mode Optimus Prime and a seemingly Generation One-inspired redeco of Crankcase. Check out the images below!

Looks good but that mold isn't worth a third dip

I like the colors but the lack of detail in the white just makes him a little bland

I agree with the bland comment, the "wings" look unfinished and the chest is just a block of solid colour, nothing exciting there - I wonder how it would look with the shoulder "missiles" deployed?

What is this set exclusive to again? TRU? WalMart?

I agree it's a bit bland, but since I actually don't have any of the three molds yet, I'll gladly pick this up, even if screen accuracy does indeed make Skid-bar look pretty bland. Dry-erase marker, anyone?

Or maybe a future set will have this guy battle-damaged, and come with a charred human corpse, frozen in mid-stride? I still can't believe that made the final cut. I mean, I'm happy about it, but still...

If it's Platinum Edition, it's Toys "R" Us. I don't think they've ever been sold anywhere besides Toys "R" Us and/or Big Bad Toy Store.

they would have been stupid to cut that. An actual emotional scene in a Bay movie. Rare gem that.

What are you talking about? The previous three films were ripe with scenes conveying the emotions of depression, misery, horror, and disgust.

Probably depends on if they're painted.

If I get this, it'll probably be to repurpose it as Skid-Z. Yeah, it's a bit of a stretch, but it's not like Hasbro's remaking bit players from RiD left and right.

The rarest element of the scene was a Bay-movie explosion that left a graphic consequence in its aftermath, rather than blurring into the purely decorative white-noise that Baysplosions typically amount to.

I...kiiinda like it, but I already have Skids, and I don't like owning too many multiples of the exact same mold if it's not the Seekers.

I mean, sure the hood is pretty bland, but I have to give props to whoever painted the rear end. It's pretty good. And Reprolabels will probably make a nice set for this guy somewhere along the road.

Of course. The films' scenes conveyed those emotions to the audience.

Not when we both knew what he would turn into ahead of time and saw that his torso was recognizably a Bugatti Veyron's front end.

Definitely like this. Only gripe is they could have gave a new head sculpt but then it probably would have been movie like making me like this less. If it's not too expensive I'll probably give it a shot unless the figure with it is utter crap.

He doesn't. It should be obvious, considering his toy is a repaint.

But Drift "Helicopter mode" is a repaint too, and I think this mode will apear in the movie. :-?

I don't remember a single one robot in the previous 3 movies that appeared only in vehicle mode. Maybe I'm wrong. So I think that he will shows his face (I hope).

Maybe they did that (the repaint) because he is not very important. Or maybe lack of time to made a original mold to him. Maybe the two.
I don't know, is only speculation.

No, Drift's helicopter toy is more than a mere repaint. It's remold, with a new head and new parts.

Rollbar is not in the movie. Shane's car is not a robot in the movie. They just made this toy to make more money. Ir's not even a movie mold.

Why? That toy's a movie mold. They wouldn't put a character in these movies if his only toy (1 Step changer aside) wasn't a movie mold.

Is this Rollbar an homage to Armada Minicon Rollbar?

GuyIncognito wrote:Is this Rollbar an homage to Armada Minicon Rollbar?

Not when Armada Rollbar wasn't rally-colored. They just took the deco of Shane's car, put it on a toy with a somewhat similar altmode, and slapped an existing name on it.

Re: In-Hand Images: Age of Extinction "Breakout Battle" Rollbar (1587605)
Posted by GuyIncognito on July 3rd, 2014 @ 8:46am CDT

Maybe you can't call it an homage, but... I don't know, seems like they at least took a few design cues from Armada Rollbar. White body, purple thigs,... I don't think the color similarities are just coincidence.

Unjust (in my opinion) because:
1) Almost sure that the "Helicopter Drift" in movie is not the same helicopter model of Skyhammer (DOTM), presuming that he will transforming in a helicopter...
I live in Brazil, so I didn't watch the AOE movie yet.
I think the 1SC (1 Step Changer) is more movie accurate (again: my speculation)

2) Drift deserves a triple-changer mold - if he is a triple-changer in the movie.

3) If not (if he simply change his alternate mode during the movie history), he deserves a exclusive helicopter mold.

I'd love an original mold Drift Triple-Changer too but you know we'll just end up with a blue/black Springer repaint.

I guess not, because Springer is not a mold of the movie line (sign).

So, do you think AoE Prime (the new design) will get a better toy than the Leader Class and First Edition ones in the not too distant future? (Considering the contrast between his new streamlined robot-body and the bulky Western Star semi, is it even possible?)
What can I say, I kind of wanted one after watching the movie but neither looks like they're worth it.

Also, any new detail about his Evolution 2-pack? (date/price/availability..)

It's the best we're going to get for a good while. Plus, the Movie line line will last only until the end of the year, so if you want to get a representation of Prime, either get them now or wait until the next movie.

by the by, Don't make the mistake of grabbing either the First Edition Prime, or its Platinum Silver Knight repaint.

Also, any new detail about his Evolution 2-pack? (date/price/availability..)

- Has Evasion Mode with added blue flame detailing, and Classics Voyager Prime.
- Both have chrome pieces
- Toys 'R Us exclusive like the other Evolution 2-packs.
- Expect it to be released late Summer/early Fall.

Don't be sorry, tell it like it is. They were bad/average molds to begin with. Maybe they are good to kids but the rest of us don't want that huge backpack on Optimus when he's "Extremely" streamlined in the movie. And Grimlock's dino mode looks like some weird disproportionate mutant lizard rather than a T-Rex.

i dont know why but i kinda like that high octane 1 step bumblebee, not sure if hes a must have but a clearance figure for sure. Steeljaw and slag on the other hand are must buy, just hope walmart keeps these guys at $8. Even chopper drift looks pretty good, reminds me of that one scout mold from energon, the names elude me at the moment. The rest is pretty much garbage, i dont think the AoE line is going to last very long. Its nothing more than repaints & 4 different versions of the same character.

Re: In-Hand Images: Age of Extinction "Breakout Battle" Rollbar (1587691)

Hasbro should divide the movie toy line in Adults and Childrens.
All mix it's not a good idea, because they don't do very detailed and complex toys, and in the same time, not so simple as might be.
It turns out that does not do very well in either sides.

I dont know if you guys noticed on the parts identification thread or the toy haul thread but I love buying used lots of transformer toys. I can just see the pain this will be in the years to come to try to weed out all these simpler more kid oriented toys from the others if I still buy lots then. I am already having a tough time with the fast action battlers so I can only imagine.
