New Galleries: Transformers Expo 2014 Nemesis Grimlock and Nemesis Prime Exclusives

Kinda sad there are just as many Nemeses as there are canon Decepticons... and the one canon Nemesis, Stinger, is unaccounted for. Pfft.

Those two are pretty damn cool, though.

i have no need for a black and purple grimlock. to me theres pretty much either nemesis/black (reserved pretty much for primes) and shattered glass. and SG grimmy doesnt look like that to me.

prime on the other hand, will be mine. even at those terrifying after market prices...

Well, if Optimus can have an evil clone, why can't Grimlock too?

I want that Prime. Gahhh! Why is this guy so goddamn sparse?

Just an FYI for those of you interested. I paid $300 for the pair for AOE Nemesis Prime and Nemesis Grimlock, $150 a piece, including the cost of shipping. That price is absurd, but limited supply and sold out items dictate price unfortunately. The prices that they are at currently on eBay of $220 plus shipping is just nuts. Those prices make other convention exclusive prices look pretty reasonable!

The figures do look pretty cool and I have to mention,they have great bios.

I heard that!

I so gotta get these 2 before prices get even more insane...'nuff said!

So, if Hasbro repaints any figure in black and turquoise deco, it is called nemesis whatever? And for what, a double dip on an overpriced toy?


I just read some of you paid $300 for these? This stuff IS like crack, as some of you joke. You are addicts, just in a less physically destructive way.

TakaraTomy does it too, in fact they've overtaken Hasbro in that department. The $300 tag can be attributed to 3 factors: Japanese, exclusive, and convention, in ascending order.

I don't really care for the Nemesis shtick, as it's too overused and diluted. None of them hold a candle to RiD Scourge (in my case, CR Black Convoy).

The heck is up with those prices? That Nemesis Prime doesn't even look that good to me. $150 is a huge Masterpiece's price, not for something like this.

Siger wrote:The heck is up with those prices?

They were only available at the Transformers Expo in Yokohama, Japan, and in extremely limited quantities. After the Expo was over, that was it. No other chances to get these figures aside from those who were actually there. It's one of those "you had to be there in person to get these" cases.

what about the $250 asking price for botcon scorponok? he aint an MP. its just the nature of exclusives.

Comes to my mind that meme with Woody and Buzz Lighyear: Repaints.. repaints everywhere

Repaints and retools are a TF trope since the very beginning of G1. They are cost effective and they sell like hotcakes. Repaints aint going away. Ever.

We can't believe it either. We've brought you glorious galleries of these terrific toys before, but you may want to hold on tight to your seats as you scroll down and find out not one, not three, but ten new offerings on Seibertron.com, all from the movieverse, some even from 2007!

I lkie how dedication you have put in those galleries!

So goofy and lame but I still love em'!

It's been a while since we visited this side of the Transformers toyverse, but Seibetron has just acquired two latecoming Power Attacker figures that just had to be shared with everyone! Check out below two new gallery additions from the Age of Extinction line, featuring High Octane Bumblebee and the contender for one of the best names out there, Chainsaw Thrash Vehicon!

The latter is the only incarnation of a character that was sort of seen in the movieverse, if not the last film specifically, and comes with chainsaw splitting gun action, while the latest iteration of Bumblebee features more or less the same body as the Generations Deluxe version, with spring loaded cannon gimmick. Click on any image for the full galleries, as always.

Age of Extinction: Robots In Disguise Chainsaw Thrash Vehicon










Age of Extinction: Robots In Disguise High Octane Bumblebee

EDIT: Double dammit. I had it all typed up and ready to go in the console.

I would love a proper movie-style Vehicon that wasn't Crankcase.

That Vehicon is really cool looking despite not being a proper deluxe



Is the Vehicon scout size or Deluxe size?


Here is the card art for him

That Vehicon is the spiffiest power-attacker they've released. Almost tempting.

Small Deluxe size.

How about articulation?



I understand that the left arm has no elbow but what about the rest of the limbs?

Ryan's gallery pics should demonstrate the toy's extent of articulation.

All toys named "Vehicon" in any variation since PRiD have been blessed with looking kick-ass, no matter the size class.

That Vehicon looks not awful. Like he could maybe stand with the regular toys and not completely look out of place.

if these were half size (legion) would be an instant buy

BERSEKAEL wrote:if these were half size (legion) would be an instant buy

Scout size isnt bad.

Sigh... I may never see that Vehicon in store...

In most situations where I'm left with a choice of having to settle or not getting one at all, I go with the latter option. This time around though, I may actually settle with getting this vehicon. Normally, I don't get the battler figures. To me, most of them look like crap compared to the regular deluxe figures and I darn sure don't need the lame gimmicks they give them. Vehicon is one that I'll live with though.
As for 'Bee... holy hell, what did they do to that poor guy. I have the regular deluxe and there is no way I'd touch that battler with a 20 ft cattle prod. And they STILL haven't fixed that horrid color. Looks like some sickly Halloween reject. My High Octane 'Bee never leaves vehicle mode just because of that nasty color.

there is already a similar size, while legion is still missing

I'm gonna try to find this guy and have him, Darksyde Soundwave, and Stinger form a posse with Lockdown, a la the Rise of the Dark Spark game.

So hard to find good Decepticons in this toy line.

Except it doesn't besides the left arm not having an elbow but the right arm does.



Do the knees bend or the legs at all?


Does the right arm have a moving shoulder?

Oh yeah, the 1steps are almost that big.

I went toy hunting yesterday and I saw some RID Legions. Holy crap I forgot how tiny they where! However, the price is anything but. 9$CAN+tx for a single legion?! Yikes!

Why is the Power Attacker High Octane Bumblebee better than its deluxe counterpart?
These are cool!The power attacker line reminds me of the cyberverse line.They really resemble cyberverse commanders!

Does the right arm have a moving shoulder?

The gallery does demonstrate it's artjculation. The right arm only moves an awkward side-to-side (left to right) at the shoulder. It does not move front to back. It can only bend at the elbow.

There are no joints for articulation in the legs or knees.

The figure has extremely limited articulation, which Is why the gallery doesn't show a whole lot.

After posting our galleries of the recently released Power Attackers Chainsaw Thrash Vehicon and High Octane Bumblebee figures from Hasbro's Transformers Age of Extinction line yesterday, we received several requests for a video review demonstrating the articulation of these figures. Unfortunately, due to their gimmicks both figures suffer from a lack of articulation. If you're at all familiar with the Power Attackers (or Power Battlers depending on who you ask and what day it is), then you know what you're getting with these figures. Check out our video review below on Seibertron.com's YouTube channel.



After you've watched our video review, make sure you check out their respective galleries by clicking on the images below.

Thanks for the video demonstration I'm grateful you took the time to make the vid!



kinda disappointed he has no knees but I can live with it.




Local Motors is an actual company that makes Rally Fighters and is not a fictional company.

That vehicon is a beauty! If I ever see it in store, it's an instant buy. Even at full price.

And now I know! Can't believe I've never heard of Local Motors before. Doh!

That's ok the logo does look out of place and kinda fake on the toy.



But regardless this is a really good review and I personally think your voice is cool.

Seibertron, you should do more video reviews often. However, the introduction didn't really fit the video.

"Chainsaw Thrash." That is the most metal name for a Transformer ever. Or maybe Grindcore...

Check out Jay Leno's Garage on Youtube, he has an episode with an in-depth look at and drive of a Rally Fighter. So very cool.

Ryan, can you please tell me where you acquired these beautiful figures, I need them.

Are you talking about Vehicon and High Octane Bumblebee? If so, I purchased a few cases from Entertainment Earth.

Seibertron.com is proud to present our newest gallery:

Age Of Extinction Power Attackers Claw Crush Junkheap

Remember Dark Of The Moon? (Of course you do!) Remember the scene when the Decepticons make their appearance in D.C. and everyone wanted that awesome Waste Management garbage truck bot? (It was quite cool, actually.) Well, sadly we didn't get one then, but we're finally getting one now! In a special arrangement with Waste Management, Hasbro has been given the rights to affix the WM company logo on a Decepticon figure and that figure is Power Attackers Junkheap! A few years late, but better late than never, eh?

A different take on the Waste Management garbage truck bot was used in Age Of Extinction, they were created by KSI and the three components formed the garbage truck, in the film and they had an on screen appearance lasting less than 10 seconds. (Sadly.) So, the figure we've been waiting for is actually based off of one component of a three bot vehicle.

Sadly, he's packed one to a case and that case is part of the final assortment of Age Of Extinction figures, so chances are that most retailers probably won't be carrying this assortment of figures, meaning both Junkheap and his wave mate Vehicon (which you can see, here) are going to be extremely difficult to find, and even more so for a good price.

While you search for this guy (and Vehicon), take a moment to check out his gallery here on Seibertron.com and check back tomorrow for our exclusive video review of the figure, so you can see his Claw Crush gimmick in action! We will be posting the review on our front page, so make sure to come back!

Without further ado, click on any of the images below to see the full gallery:

That DOTM guy wasn't Junkheap. Junkheap was one of the KSI robots in AOE, only in the movie, he was a Reflector-esque guy with three robot mode guys that fused into one garbage truck altmode. Since the toy didn't do that, its robot mode is based on the green component:

Too bad. This fig would have been a great Optimus Prime toy.

Please re-read what I posted, originally. I never said Junkheap and the DOTM bot were one and the same. I bolded and italicised the line above so you can read it clearly.

*A* Decepticon figure, not THE DOTM bot. Big difference.
