So I just noticed TFsource mis-priced Takara's AD30 "Sky Drift" (the Voyager Skyhammer redeco) as if it were a deluxe. Just 29.99:

That's pretty darned good for an imported voyager that probably features better paint apps.

Something tells me that we're not getting anything new in AOE Deluxe beyond the first initial waves. No original design "expanded universe" figures so to speak. Those were some of my favorites from the previous movie lines. Exclusive repaints of already released AOE figures seems to be the call of the day now.

EDIT: Ok, yeah, we did get some Dinos that were'nt in the movie, but that's about it.

Yeah, we've seen everything that we will be getting for the AoE line in all Classes. Nothing beyond the end of 2014. Possibly the shortest-lived line ever at 6 months or so.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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).
