I'm afraid to ask, but are there still other Grimlocks?

There's the Stomp and Chomp electronics one, and the various exclusive 'Cyberverse' repaints.. Can't think of others.

One Step
Chomp & Stomp
Flip & Change
Voyager
Leader
Titan Hero
Dino Sparker
Legion (repaint of BH Rippersnapper)
Scout (repaint of Energon Cruellock)
And that's just the molds used, not counting Construct-Bots and Kre-O.

This. Plus, we don't know the main plot of the movie, and having Lockdown be a Leader Class for no clear reason... would kind of spoil things.

Yeah, and for all we know, Harold Attinger could be a bigger villain than Lockdown.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Diem wrote:Probably for the same stupid reasons Megatron didn't get a Leader toy in DOTM.Rodimus Prime wrote:If Lockdown is supposed to be the main villain, besides humans, why doesn't he get a Leader Class toy?

For the longest time, we all wanted him to have an action figure, and many fans created their own out of custom work, but TakaraTomy has heard our cries and finally made good on an official Dispensor figure! Based off of the TF07 video game figure, Deluxe Class Payload, Dispensor finally makes his official toy debut, and we have the gallery to show it in all it's glory!
Seibertron.com is proud to present it's newest gallery: AD-11 Deluxe Class Dispensor!

See, now I want a Shattered Glass Dispensor that uses those guns mounted to the side of his vehicle facing up, more like a drink tray.
And surprisingly, I think I like him better with only the one gun. Normally, I prefer Symmetry in my weapons.

Now if, for some stupid reason, Hasbro decides that they aren't going to pick this up and it's just the folks in Japan that get blessed with this, I'll be mighty pissed off but sadly I won't be very surprised by it.

I wonder why they even planned both a red-and-white and a white-and-red redeco of the same mold for a minor character in such a short time-span.

The first three are homages to Generation One Dinobots Grimlock, Swoop, and Slag, respectively, and are redecoes of Classics Mini-Cons Terrorsaur, Swoop, and Knockdown, respectively. Catilla is a redeco of fellow Classics Mini-Con Snarl. Check out the preliminary images below, and if they tickle your fancy, view the full galleries by clicking either each toy's gallery link or any of the images!
Dark of the Moon Dualor
Dark of the Moon Rav
Dark of the Moon Triceradon
Dark of the Moon Catilla

I have Rav, and always wanted to get the others to go with Grimstone, but these guys always go for such ridiculous prices on the aftermarket. (and I thought the $6 I paid for Rav was pushing it...)

Smilodonts were more famously known as Saber-Tooth Tigers (which Classics Snarl is actually not), and like Plesiosaurs and Mastodonts are also sometimes included in the Dinosaur ranks, especially back in the day.

Also are these the same molds that are in the evolution two packs?

Rav and Triceradon are (largely) identical to the ones in the 2-packs. Dualor and Catilla you'll have to get 2nd hand, as all 4 were Dark of the Moon and thus off the shelves.

Original Megazord, anyone?

I was under the impression there were no differences at all between the DotM and AoE versions of these things other than the DotM ones were sold on their own and the AoE ones came with Deluxes. (And that Rav had some QC issues with his Powerlinx socket that have been fixed for his rerelease as Strafe.) Is that accurate?

With "largely identical" I mean that the differences, if any, are minute and negligible. Rav's Powerlinx socket seems to have affected only a few runs, but I wouldn't expect them here.

Oh you guys know me ... there are minor differences, but mostly it comes down to slightly different shades of plastic. Comparison pics will be posted hopefully later this month as time allows. They're fairly low on the priority list at the moment. Trying to work through BotCon 2014 related galleries at the moment and then it's back to the onslaught of AOE products.

And their names are Gnashteeth, Chromebite, and Reptix (or Repticus, it's kinda iffy), respectively.

Actually they were only released on UK, I saw a lot of them in store for €3.99 in Slovakia this year (wich gets toys from UK)... Any other way to get them was through BBTS and some other online stores whenever you bought TF online they used to pack one as present, thats how I got my first one years ago. I will ask a friend to send me some pictures, Dráčik is still selling them.

Of course, one of those stupid decisions was releasing Jolt in the DotM line in the first place when he wasn't even in the movie, when characters like Soundwave and Dino didn't even get a US release, so whatever.

he is my evasion Jolt and i imagine that Jolt is in Aoe.
i plan to get this sometime.
