The official Transformers Facebook page has revealed a whole set of previously unseen Transformers: Age of Extiction smaller toys. Well. We say unseen, but in fact, most of these new characters are repaints of pre-existing molds, spanning from Beast Wars to Energon to the 2007 live action movie and Transformers: Prime and Beast Hunters! The sets include: Bumblebee vs. Decepticon Stinger with Strafe Set, with Bumblebee being a repaint of 2007 Legends Class Bumblebee, and Stinger a repaint of Legion Class Prime Knock-Out; Legion class and Scout class Optimus Prime and Grimlock, repaints of the Revenge of the Fallen Legends Optimus Prime and Energon Doomlock; Legion class Grimlock, a repaint of Legion Beast Hunters Rippersnapper; Legion class and Scout class Dinobot Slug and Stinger, a repaint of Beast Wars Neo Guiledart and Prime Knock Out; Legion class and Scout class Strafe and Bumblebee, featuring a blue Beast Wars Terrorsaur and the 2007 Legends Bumblebee. These will apparently be figures exclusive to Wal*Mart - will you be hunting them down? Let us know your thoughts in the Energon Pub!

This right here is why Movie years rule. All kinds of awesome, out of left field product. Also, so much for all the Beast Wars basics molds being destroyed. Wonder what else is out there and still useable?

LOL more figures for my Beast Wars collection! I love it!

To quote ScottyP from the staff email, "They are waaaay outta left field."

I might get the Beast Era characters just so I can say I own at least one version of those molds. I've no need for Grim/Cruellock, since I already own the original.

HOLY SMOKING COW!!!!!!!

Give me those BW redecos and maybe the Energon Cruellock redeco! NOW!!!

Re: Transformers: Age of Extinction Legion and Scout Class Figures Revealed (1571716)
Posted by Jelze Bunnycat on May 6th, 2014 @ 1:50pm CDT

Ok, so in a nutshell:

Bumblebee with Dinobot Strafe: RotF Legends Bumblebee and BW Terrorsaur.
Decepticon Stinger with Dinobot Slug: RotF Legends Sideways and BWNeo Guiledart
Optimus Prime with Grimlock: RotF Legends Optimus Prime and Energon Cruel-Lock
Legion Grimlock: Prime Beast Hunters Predacon Rippersnapper (again?)
Dinobot Strafe with Bumblebee and Decepticon Stinger: AoE Dinobot Strafe, RotF Legion Bumblebee and Prime Legion Knockout.

Good grief, so random... Definitely aiming for the first four sets.

*EDIT* I can't keep those Legion molds apart... :BANG_HEAD:

You guys - they should totally do Scorn out of BW Dinobot now. That would rock. Actually, give me all the AOE Dinobots as BW era molds. BW Megs as Grimlock? Yes please.

Basically, everyone buy the crap out of the BW mold packs so they'll make more of them :lol:

I'll definitely buy the Slug set cause I want me at least one copy of that Guiledart mold.

Geniosity, right here. I'd totally be down for a reuse of the Dinobot mold as a separate character, since I already have the Universe (2008) mold.

I'm surprised there aren't any complaints of these being "cheeky, lazy redecoes with jacked up prices". >:oP

Getting Terrosaur and Grimlock, since I don't have them. I already have Triceradon, but I may get this version but he looks too purple for me.

That purple Guiledart is a must-buy for me!

The Terrorsaur and Doomlock repaints will probably be mine as well.

That's just... what. Like they wanted to do Cyberverse, but didn't want to invest in any new molds so just went with "good enough." I want to hate it on principle (I loved Cyberverse), but the Dinobots are so ludicrous they're awesome.

Though Grimlock out of Rippersnapper makes me sad Divebomb never got released here...

Re: Transformers: Age of Extinction Legion and Scout Class Figures Revealed (1571739)
Posted by craggy on May 6th, 2014 @ 2:25pm CDT

well, I'd rather we'd got Hun-Grr, Cutthroat Windrazor or SinnerTwinStrike instead of another Rippersnapper, but I'm not sure I can avoid getting him with his Irn Bru Chew goodness.

Also a little sad they didn't just give us Killer Punch, but I'm still up for more Purplesaur actions.

This version of the Terrorsaur mold is Thundersaur, which makes Lazorbeak into Terrorwarp, right? Dino Seekers, baby!

Wow. I bet they sell really well. I mean, they didn't even try. They just took a bunch of still functioning molds, slapped some different paint apps on them and thrust their greedy hands forward. Pathetic.

More Christmas closeout fodder.

I will say this, however, it is good for anyone who collected these lines in the past. They can get some new figures for their collections. But no one is going to use them as actual AOE figures. I personally have all of the Prime Cyberverse stuff, so I will pick up "Grimlock" Rippersnapper for my collection just cause. If not for that I wouldn't give them a second glance at retail.

This is actually a benefit of shoehorning old molds in movie years. They did it with ROTF and appear to be going back to it with these. At least I will pick up one AOE figure.

Repurposing is indeed your friend here. I will be on the lookout for that Rippersnapper as well just so Divebomb will have a playmate. Don't know what I'll do with Cruel-Lock, Guiledart and Terrorsaur, but I'll think of something.

It's more akin to the Scouts of Target, the Deluxes of Walmart, and Voyagers and Ultras of Toys 'R Us back in 2007/2008. Again, repurposing a'plenty.

I have the original Guildart figure and it's one that I wasn't sure about to start with but it really grew on me. This repaint is a must have. Won't say no to the Cruellock or Terrorsaur either. Here's hoping these show up on Walmart.com 'cos I don't have a walmart near me.

That is fine with me. I really would like to see some of the G1 legends molds used. I could get excited by that repurposing, no doubt. Kinda like they did with Sparkcrusher/Warpath, Shadow Striker/Wheelie, and Smokescreen/Rodimus. I bet we see the minicon dinos again too. Probably at Big Lots or something of that measure.

I wonder if these are just a wave one or something like that. Another thought too, I bet these are the last legends figures we ever see, since Cyberverse has been scrapped. :-(

Funny you should mention the Mini-Con dinos. Two are going to be re-released in a 2-pack with their AoE Counterpart: Dinobot Strafe with Rav (Swoop), and Dinobot Slug with Triceradon (Knockdown). Toys 'R Us exclusives. Grimlock, as you may already know, gets Energon Grimlock instead. No word on Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, but expect the Universe/RtS molds.

Cool, I did not know that. Thanks for the tip Goldrabbit. I wonder who else we might see in the future? I could really dig some more legends releases of this type. How about a repurpose of sorts for Legends Hound since he is in the movie? Or maybe even Legends Soundwave (DOTM/Prime) as Drift? Anyone else have any ideas?

There's also the dollar store releases of RTS Legends Optimus, Bee, and Screamer. - http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-legends-in-age-of-extinction-style-packaging-found-at-family-dollar/29647/

I was referring to the 2-packs. Aside from the Dinobot ones, we were supposed to get Optimus Prime and Bumblebee 2-packs as well.

Grimlock (BH Rippersnapper mold)

2-packs
Dinobot Strafe with Bumblebee (RotF Legends mold)

Big set
Dinobot Strafe with Bumblebee (DotM Legion mold) & Decepticon Stinger (Prime Legion Knock Out mold)

The rumor (just that, a rumor) for the Optimus Prime "Evolution" Two-pack is the Hybrid Style Convoy mold. At first I thought "no way" on that, but given today's news, now I'm ready for anything.

Yeah, but, considering the source of that rumor also used a fan custom of MP Sunstorm to represent Hasbro's release of MP Stunstorm, I doubt it.

these are the kinds of repaints we need more of, ones that use old molds we havent seen in a while. Depending on price ill be getting all of those except the one with AoE strafe, i missed out on the beast wars neo guy & i just really like the cruelock & terrorsaur molds. Really hope these arent overpriced cause theres not much else coming out that i want.

That image of Strafe has me even more intrigued about the deluxe figure. Show us more MOAR I tell you!

The repaints are interesting, but I'm not that into the concept to justify the purchase. I may go just for the deluxes, at this point.

Exactly what I thought. I guess they now have to change the wiki entry for MOLDS whre it says that Terrasaur is no longer available

I hope those molds are still out there... I'd love to see the likes of BW Insecticon, Drillbit, and Powerpinch repainted in purple/black/yellow...

Yes! Yes! This is the best thing ever since Transformers: Robots in Disguise Brave Maximus (I know many may argue). A must have toy for me!!! :mrgreen:

Wow. So many Bumblebees and two different figures representing the same character, this is madness!!!!! Oh wait, it's a movie year. I've always liked that Terrorsaur mold so I'll grab that and the Prime Grimlock set. I'll have to see about the others. Any idea on release dates? I doubt these are wave one sets.

So, four Legion singles, two Scout/Legion 2-packs, one Deluxe/Legion 2-pack, and one Legion/Legion/Deluxe 3-pack.

In the long run, the movie lines have proven to be my favorite ones. The random repaints only make them better.

Kind of a shame that SG Terrorsaur is colored like Lazerbeak/Hydra. This coloration would have made a lot more sense.
