Rhinox's beast mode looks like the chillest rhino ever.

Also, First Edition Megatron probably looks better as Depth Charge.

I wouldn't hold your breath. Prowl is part of the final 2013 waves. 2014 Prime:BH are all the upscaled poo poo fest.

Knock-off toys is the last place I expected Hasbro to take inspiration from. Does this mean we at least get to have a large Abominus?

Some set videos from Transformers 4.

Optimus moves down the road. Suddenly, explosions!

This one makes the Freightliner looks like it's chasing Optimus.

If I remember right, Hasbro also said they will be announcing at Comic Con the result of a poll they did earlier this year that lets fans decide on a new Transformers toy.

Stupid poll. We're never going to get the grumpy Decepticon beastformer with a sword that we deserve.

I voted for a construction vehicle. Not enough of official ones lately. The last one I could think of was Payload.

My Springer took some fiddling to make it peg together in car mode. Even then there are still small gaps. The helicopter mode fares better, though.

e: Man, pachycephalosaurus got the poo poo end of the stick for naming in its clade. "King dragon." "Demon from the River Styx." "Thick-headed lizard."

Well if it makes you feel any better, one of those are now thought to be the younger version of a larger pachycephalosaur that was probably already named.

But, yes I actually kinda want one of these. I'm partial to that ankylosaur. There should really be an ankylosaur Transformers if there isn't one already.

Michael Bay will always be better than Shyamalan, yo. At least the guy can still film things that looks nice, and Shyamalan never inspired anybody like Neil Blomkamp or Christopher Nolan.

By the way, the title has been confirmed to be Transformers: Age of Extinction.

Perhaps the cars should be his feet, and it can roll around on them like roller skates.

Do the combiner fists and feet on not-Menasor come from parts of not-Motormaster's trailer or are they separate pieces?

Hasbro, please make a voyager Generations Longrack that transforms into an excavator. Just make sure to keep his trademark giant excavator arm.


The only thing I dislike about this is Vortex's rotors on Bruticus' leg. I wish there's a way to fold them up better, like maybe on G1 Sandstorm.

I have that one and I like it (especially his punching gimmick), but there are stuff like his left arm having limited articulation. It's a decent toy, but even someone in this thread said it's not a perfect design.

Whoa some sweet rear end Rhinox pictures over at Actoys. He looks fantastic.

For a voyager his alt mode seems smaller than the deluxes, but he probably will look bigger in his robot mode. It looks really good nonetheless and I'm glad the guns has a way to store them in beast mode.

Basically in the new movie the Autobots suddenly discovered anime and adjusted their robot modes to that aesthetic.

Unfortunately, they now refuse to fight unless they are kissed by a group Victoria's Secret models.

VVV And Bay certainly knows there's more where she came from. VVV

So apparently in the wave that contains Rattrap, Tankor is actually a new mold representing the Beast Machines character, and is even branded as a vehicon.

The Transformers Collector's Club magazine with Rattrap on the cover apparently has pictures of Tankor and Crosscut inside, but the Club has asked for websites to not post the scans.

I hope the ceratopian Dinobot is a voyager, at least. The raptor and pterodactyl are definitely deluxes.

I think the issue is that sauropods are visually less interesting than most other dinosaur types. They have a small head at the end of a long neck on one end and that's pretty much it. Stegosaurs have the opposite problem. Their back plates might make them too 'busy' for animators and their toys would have these small pointy pieces that could break off easily.

I think that Voyager Drift in that leaked list might be a Human Alliance figure. Unless Hasbro is now totally embracing the Scale Does Not Exist thing.

Trucks had their fun. Helicopters will only get played out when there's a "Rotor Convoy" toy or something.

I love DOTM Skyhammer too, by the way. And DOTM Shockwave as well. Never cared much for the deluxes in that line except for Crankcase.

"A friend was at UK ToyFair last week and she said the (what I assume to be) Grimlock toy is enormous, and 'his eyes light up blue when the truck guy sits on him, but red if the baddies are sat on him'. Take that as you will because she's not exactly a TF expert bless her, but gives me hope for the Dinobots. I'm not touching this (that Optimus toy above) though.

This could mean Grimlock will be with the Decepticons at first then joins the Autobots. Or there could be a scene where he gets pissed off because a Decepticon tries to ride him.

And Optimus-riding-Grimlock is also possible with the figures if that one leak was right.

Yeah pretty much, only thing stopping me is if it's forced 3d.

DoTM gave me the worst eyestrain headache I've had in decades.

What do you mean by "forced"? I'm asking this because DOTM was also cited as one of the best uses of 3D, and it also uses actual 3D cameras instead of post-conversion.
