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

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.

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Thu Sep 04, 2014 11:43 am

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 reported on this weeks ago, along with a bunch of other stuff they had listed at the time.

I'm either have vision problems that need to be addressed immediately, or the news staff has vision problems because THERE IS NO MASK ON THE FIGURE.

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.

But as I said above, this appears to no longer be the case.

To be fair, we posted that same batch of images too, but I still managed to miss the lack of faceplate. Though I did I call it headsculpt instead. :-?

In any case, I do apologise for the confusion, and encourage any further sightings to be notified in the Sightings section and forums - faceplate notwithstanding.

Fellow fan and collector, Daim Choc, has posted new images of the upcoming BBTS shared exclusive movie deco Dinobots set. Pictures courtesy of weibo user, uranusdd.

The set consists of Scorn, Slug, Strafe, Slog (oddly enough) and Grimlock (of course). This deco is as close as possible to the one seen in this summer's film, Age Of Extinction. The figures even include what looks to be a "mossy" paint application, to replicate the look the Dinobots had in the film.

Most of the paint apps consist of the aforementioned mossy look, with a few splashes of color thrown in here and there, with the majority of each figure being covered in a dip of shiny chrome, head to toe.

This is our first look at the figures themselves and in their packaging. A price and release date have not been set yet, but as soon as we find out, you will.

The images have been mirrored below:
