The AOE toyline is starting to reek of desparation.

Well it is already half-way in, if we're to believe it'll end within the year.

I wouldn't mind getting this set even tough it'll be quite pricey in-store.

These are one of the few Transformers AOE toys that make sense along with Drift and that Breakout Battle Optimus Prime.

Transformers Colombia, a Facebook fan page, has provided the first official in and out of package images of the upcoming Age Of Extinction G1 Deco Voyager Slog, courtesy of group member Felipe León Nájera. Slog is an Amazon.com exclusive and can be preordered here. (His release date is scheduled for December 15th, but dates are not always set in stone.)

Slog shares the same deco as the G1 Dinobot set from this years San Diego Comic Con. You can see more of that set here.

You can see the regular retail release in our always detailed, always awesome figure galleries, by clicking right here!

1. I'm very, very excited for these Platinum sets. That Platinum Leader Grimlock is the best of the bunch, I think.

2. G1-deco Slog looks awesome! Can't wait for Amazon to ship him out.

I really like this figure, even more so now that I have removed all those weird clunky weapons, even down to the black pegs that hold the lances. He now looks sleek and uncomplicated, and actually like a dinosaur.

Personally I don't think Dinobots need these weapons; they can rely on their sheer brute force. But Slog and Slug suffered the most by poor incorporation into the figure.

Posted by DMSL on August 31st, 2014 @ 1:51pm CDT

I am passing on this and all of the AOE Dinosaurs, i think they all look terrible. Way too simplistic in design and there is no consistency colour wise.

Re: Transformers: Age of Extinction Platinum Leader Pack Optimus Prime and Grimlock Sighted in Malaysia (1603157)
Posted by Madeus Prime on August 31st, 2014 @ 1:55pm CDT

Huh, not too shabby. I'd get him and the other G1 repaints from wherever, but I find myself wanting the main line figures more.

Posted by RotorstormNZ on August 31st, 2014 @ 3:33pm CDT

I still don't like the lances but I think this guy looks pretty cool, especially in these colours. Nice work Hasbro.

Re: Transformers: Age of Extinction Platinum Leader Pack Optimus Prime and Grimlock Sighted in Malaysia (1603282)

That Slog looks like he's wearing wooden shoes.

Isn't that funny?

Posted by Rated X on September 1st, 2014 @ 10:19am CDT

December ? I thought it was shipping in September around the same time as the SDCC sets ship from Hasbro.com ?

For what it's worth the regular Slog is starting to show up in Walmarts. (Miami) So don't go paying crackhead prices online for the regular version. I bought one. He is an awesome figure. But mine was missing those pegs on his neck to put the lances. I was fortunate enough to find another one and exchange him in another Walmart. Saw Drift and passed. Ugh...

got the SDCC dinos on the way so sludge is an obvious buy. im a little bummed that his dino head/neck isnt gold chromed, but i love his bright blue visor.

Hey I was wondering about something... I saw that it said on the robot kingdom website that the breakout battle set will be available on September 1st but I've seen on other sites that it won't be released until November... Which one is correct? Also are the prices that we're listed for the ale platinum sets the online prices or are they the in store prices?

Wow ... the stands look identical (minus the tf4 logo) to the Tamashii stands. Is Hasbro licensing the stands from Bandai? How does this work? Very interesting ...

It's nice that they are giving away these stands for free but the are incredibly weak and i found to require a lot of trial and error getting the sweet spot so that it doesn't fall apart under the weight of a figure.
Be warned.....that's my experience with the two stands i purchased years back.

Have you ever thought what goes into creating the toys, other than design and production, plastic and rubber? Thanks to a tip from Seibertron.com user and voice actor jON3.0, we get a look at voice talents, among others, Rick Sellers, Brad Henderson, Walt Wise, and producer Wes McCraw talking and testing the recordings for the Transformers: Age of Extinction toy line, from Grimlock and Lockdown to Stinger and Bumblebee! Check out the embedded clip below.

And... just, which toys are they recording these for, exactly?

Looking over lists of AOE toys, I can't see any that make use of any electronic sounds aside from Chomp & Stomp Grimlock.

Re: Transformers: Age of Extinction Platinum Leader Pack Optimus Prime and Grimlock Sighted in Malaysia (1603627)
Posted by Va'al on September 2nd, 2014 @ 12:50pm CDT

That was my exact same question. Also unanswered.

Maybe it's a feature of Chomp and Stomp Grimlock, when interacting with the small figures? I can't remember if any review shows if that feature is actually a thing or not. :-?

The Transformers Columbia Facebook page has some nice in-package images of the upcoming Kre-O Custom Kreons Wave 3. This wave includes 4 of the Dinobots including Grimlock, Scorn, Strafe and Slug. This wave continues the tradition of chromed helmets, weapons and also loaded with extra parts.

Why do all the other Dinobots have helmet-like faces and Grimlock has a regular mouth? Makes no sense to me.

These and the 2nd wave before it will be the last of my Kreons if they don't go back to putting IDs on the bind bagged figures. Not wasting money on doubles.

Transformers Colombia , a Facebook fan page, has provided the first official in and out of package images of the upcoming Age Of Extinction Power Attackers Galvatron, courtesy of group member Felipe León Nájera. What makes this so special is, he's packaged in a box, instead of a card! This is the first time we're seeing figure packaging like this for a recent US Transformers line. Will we see more? Is this the start of a new trend? Only time will tell, and you'll know as soon as we do!

Galvatron features a spinning chest grinder feature and has a limited, kid friendly transformation as part of the simplified and gimmick-based line of Age Of Extinction toys.

Another sighting from Bounti76, this time for the Transformers Age of Extinction line: the two-pack Evolution Optimus Prime set! Including a repaint of the Classics Voyager Optimus, and the Age of Extinction Generations Voyager Evasion Mode redeco with new head sculpt exactly the same head, just with painted eyes (contrarily to all stock and promo photography) - photo proof below! These figures also come from a Toys R Us in Murray, Utah; make you sure you flag up your own sightings in the appropriate section too!

For our Canadian friends and fellow fans, william-james88 has spotted the Toys'R'Us.ca listing for the Age of Extinction Optimus Evolution two-pack we just reported on. Priced at 49.99 CDN$, it appears to come with French included on the box, meaning that its distribution will not be limited to the Anglophone areas! Expected shipping date is October 17, and can be found here.

Optimus Prime meets Optimus Prime in this awesome 2-pack! You can see the evolution of your favorite Autobot from then to now in these 2 Optimus Prime figures. Both your classic and your Age of Extinction Optimus Prime figures convert from robot mode to semi truck mode and back. Can the Decepticons handle not one, but 2 fighting Optimus Primes? Its up to you!

Includes 2 figures.
Optimus Prime figure pack includes 1 classic figure and 1 Age of Extinction figure
Both figures convert from robot mode to vehicle mode
Each figure comes with blaster
Both figures convert in 8 steps

This is a very interesting picture....you can't really tell from my picture, but I'm positive that the Optimus in the Evolution pack I spotted did NOT have the faceplate shown on TRU's Canadian listing. Odd.

Does this blasted pack come with a faceplate Evasion Prime or not! The shown shows no faceplate while advert pic shows a faceplate! This may be my only chance to get the faceplate variant without paying rediculous prices.

The Kreons... eh. If it wasn't for the names, I don't think I could tell them apart. Think I'll just pass on them.
I really wish they wouldn't cast those parts in clear. Would've been great to have the option to go either Movie-accurate grey or toy-accurate colors, but translucent looks terrible.

Galvatron reminds me of this guy:

"He's really showing us what a man with a cannon in his chest can do."

Is that really a new head sculpt? It does not appear to have the faceplate, which was first hinted at with an in hands image of these figures. This pic almost confirms that to me. And that means that the stock pic showing the faceplate is not correct.

I'm not entirely sure myself, now. The picture initially looked like it did have the faceplate, but looking at it again, maybe not.

And Bounti76 has confirmed that it did not have one. :-?

No faceplate, unfortunately. Someone posted a bunch of pix on w2005.

Wish the "Classic" mold was decoed like Henkei, and EMOP like in the 5-pack.

The back of the box looks nice. With illustrations of MP-10 and the new movie body.

I can assure you the news staff member in question has good vision, the pictures were blurry, we have always been told and shown that it should have a faceplate. As the stock photo from the Canadian TRU also claims.
