The final wave of AoE figures consists of Decepticon Junkheap, a Waste Management garbage truck as well as Vehicon, a toy only transformation of Cemetery Winds sleek dune buggies featured during the farm chase sequence in the film. Last but not least, High Octane Bumblebee, sporring his early film a;t mode and appearance.
These should be hitting retail very soon, what with Combiner Wars due in the not too distant future.

Some of the best Transformers I've handled in awhile. Real fun for what they are.

I just found him too (in Montreal, Canada). I noticed you dont insert the extra back plates and neither do I. Not only does it look really wierd when I do but it doesnt peg well at all. Was wondering if your didnt fasten well either.
Also, I did not know about the fake dinosaur head in robot mode, it totally took me by surprise. This makes it probably the most interesting robot mode design from the movie dinobots to me (too bad about the robot arms though).

I'll raise you the Dutch one:
- One-Step: Wave 2 of 5, including Lockdown
- Flip & Change: All 3 waves released
- Power Battlers: Wave 1 of 4
- Mega Flip Bumblebee
- Chomp & Stomp Grimlock
- Generations Deluxe: Wave 1 of 3
- Generations Voyager: Wave 1 of 3
- Generations Leader: Released
However, I am expecting The Netherlands to get either the US or Canadian overstock for cheap within a year

I'll try this. Like william-james88, I found that it doesn't snap into place well on his back, and even if it did, it looks awkward.
Overall, though, I'm really happy with the figure. My only complaint with it is the "monkey arms".

I would like to compliment Kanrabat on this great fix. And I did need those pics since I would have thought that you would need to keep the blade attached to the axe handle. But it turns out that the light pressure for the plates to seperate is enough to keep it in place. Now, Kanrabat, would you let me put this in the "things you didnt know your transformer could do " thread or do you want to write it there yourself?

As usual,Kanrabat is a mind blowing help to all fans.Just got snarl today and performed the trick!Thanks!!!! You rock!!!!

Also, Will, the trick is already posted in the "Thing your TF can do" thread. I fugured it would be a great place to archive that "fix".

I really went "wut" when I tried to follow the actual instructions, Snarl looked so deformed.

I found a huge lot of them discounted and dispersed all across a random sears liquidation warehouse. They were the only TF toys there. Funny enough, only Drift and Bumblebee are available, I guess the stores sold most of their Optimus toys.
I tought Sears were no longer selling any toys for a while?
Also, what's the point of those Dino Sparkler toys?
Novelty dill does?
Posted by Sabrblade on November 25th, 2014 @ 8:00am CST
Same point as other non-TF "pull-back-and-go" motorized toys like cars and such. Only instead of being cars, they're "steed & rider" jousting toys. With the added bonus of a sparking gimmick.-Kanrabat- wrote:Also, what's the point of those Dino Sparkler toys?

When first revealed I was curious how Slug would be adapted into the One-Step line since the deluxe toy was rather bulky. Unfortunately the technique of splitting the head and chest open more often than not leads to the legs getting stuck on the back plate resulting in a less than smooth transformation.

If they ever make a MLP/TF Xover line, I'll be camping outside the store for a week to get them!
No, really.
BTW, I love my fruity dinos and I have no intents to pay extra for a even gray. Movie accuracy be damned.

Colorful Dinobots > grey Dinobots
The onscreen Dinobots did actually have a spot of color (if via rust, patina, etc.), though Slug should be blue and gold and Grimlock green.

I agree, if they go rainbow colors, they should choose G2, but random? big pass until they hit clearance then I will think it twice.

screen accurate dinobots are bland. and gunmetal. wont catch the eyes of kids. so make em colorful. then later on, give us the gunmetal/silver/clear set for us collectors at a premium.
Posted by william-james88 on November 28th, 2014 @ 12:16pm CST
While I feel the dinosparkers were useless and didnt work, I must say that the simplified transformation approach may have worked out for Hasbro.

Now, we present the Wal*Mart exclusive Construct Bots Bumblebee with Strafe VS Decepticon Stinger set, found by Seibertron staffer ScottyP and he included an image, of course. Here's what he had to say on his find:
Oh look, something else I didn't know existed! Walmart exclusive AOE Construct Bots Bumblebee with Strafe vs. Stinger. BB Rider figure is a slight redeco. Strafe has a G2 style deco similar to the Target exclusive Grimlock Construct Bot but it's not a direct homage to a canceled toy like that one was.
Bought at a Walmart in Raleigh, NC for 19.98. UPC is 653569983408

I feel target got the bum deal of the three, even if their (foc) grimlock and (dotm) optimus redeco 2 pack is one of the best things to come out of the entire movie line. I am sure they were told it would represent a scene where Optimus takes on this knight armour/look, but that scene was probably toned down as the movie evolved. We still see him change ever so slightly when he takes the sword from the spaceship, but it is nowhere near what I am sure was told to Target when this promotion was set up.
Here is some more exclusive Target merchandise.

It looks like Strafe comes with some new parts if it's dual wielding sword tails.

I have some interest in the Autobots United set, because of the repainting (and the face plate on Evasion Optimus), but not quite enough to drop $125 and tax.

-hasbro retail
-takara retail
-evolutions
-voyager grimlock 2-pack (asia?)
-breakout battle (hasbro rusty version)
-takara TRU rusty version
-autobots united
ones i still need are the expo nemesis/black version, and the "milk" version. and ill be getting a bape MP10 before that milk one (if at all).

- bought the takara version first thinking itd be my only one and it was slightly better than the hasbro one.
- next was takaras rusty version, liked it even though it wasnt the "truest" representation
- went for breakout battle cause it WAS the truest version of rusty
- got evolutions for the classics OP
- ebay'd the asia voyager grim 2 pack for grim actually
- grabbed the AU set for the other 4 bots
- and eventually got the hasbro retail one for completions sake (and on sale)
its funny cause i only really wanted... what? less than half of them
