The Official Transformers Facebook page has revealed Target's exclusives for the upcoming Transformers: Age of Extinction line, all of which seem to tie into Optimus Prime's "Silver Knight" theme.

First we have a silver redeco of the Optimus Prime Smash and Change figure. Second, and probably the most interesting of the lot, is a two-pack featuring chromed out version of Voyager Fall of Cybertron Grimlock and Deluxe Dark of the Moon Optimus Prime with G1 Predacon Rampage's sword in silver. Next is an all silver version of Titan Optimus Prime. Finally a Construct-Bots set with Grimlock and silver Optimus Prime.

Check out the images mirrored below:

Well balls. I already went and bought FoC Grimlock, NOW there's a G1 coloured version? Guess I have no choice but to get that too!

FoC Grimlock: No fists in bot mode, fists in dino mode. How did Hasbro's inept photographer get such good job security after all these years?

Do like the looks of that Grimlock, I'm surprise they went with G1 colors and not try to paint him like AoE Grimlock. I'm sure they'll get to that eventually, though. Also surprised we still haven't seen Energon Swoop repainted yet.

The rest is garbage, Walmart got the better exclusives this time around over Target and TRU.

The deluxe class Prime is nice, but that's a somewhat pathetic attempt at giving us a G1 accurate Grimlock. There's still gold on the lower torso and the top half of his thighs are red.

That smash and change Prime is more appealing than the regular release though.

Between this and Wal-Mart, Wal-Mart wins.

i WANT that grimlock. not crazy about the gold chrome, and he kinda looks like hes wearing red speedo's, but love the new apps on the legs. dunno if itll replace my takara grim, but i wont be upset owning both.

These exclusives are like an episode of Pimp my Ride. None of these are must haves for me, but I might pick up the Op and G1 Grimlock set for scrap chromium value, and the Construct-bots because I like those guys.

Oooooh, that Generation One-ified Fall of Cybertron Grimlock! =P~

=P~

Now I don't feel so bad about not repurposing Fall of Cybertron Grimlock. The Optimis that comes with him is okay, I guess. Good thinking, using Grimlock's shield, despite its unpaintedness.

Could care less about the other stuff, though the seemingly canceled Generation 2-themed deco on Construct-Bots Grimlock is neat.

Even though I have FOC Grimlock (and it's "meh") and the DOTM Deluxe Optimus TWICE, I really LOVE this set. Grimlock in G1 colors look awesome and Optimus look amazing in this deco.

Being TARGET exclusive is great news because, unlike TrU, Target bother to put French on their fawking packagings so their exclusives DO come out in Quebec.
Of course, TrU refuse to take note.

While I like that Grimlock, I already have the FoC one and don't need it. I never bought that Deluxe Prime mold though, so if I happen to see this set on sale? I'll probably snag it. I really like the looks of Prime there, all coated in chrome.

Nothing could save the terrible FOC Grimlock mold but the ridiculous Sunbow colours make it even worse.

Comment by Doubledealer93 May 7, 2014

man these guys are really going all out with the chrome! :SICK:

:SICK:

the G1 FOC grimlock looks really nice, and i might get it as soon as i can justify getting the ugly deluxe DOTM prime that comes with him. other than that target exclusives are pretty disappointing.

The deluxe DOTM OPtimus mold is really gread! Yes, it does have a backpack, but it's nothing compared to the aweful AoE 1st edition.

Why is it terrible? I dont own it yet and thought of getting this as my first version of the mold. So some arguments for and against it would be welcome as I make up my mind.

It's not the best thing ever, but it's hardly terrible. The altmode leaves something to be desired, and there's a hinge that's a bit loose (but it also doesn't move much) in the shoulders of the robot mode, but he holds a pose just fine.

Comment by Shockwave7 May 7, 2014

Why do they keep announcing these movie toy monstrosities as if they were PROUD of being responsible for their engineering? This is just SAD. It was very aptly pointed out that these 'titan' figures look like glorified shampoo bottles - the kind of garbage you'd see on shelves in a third-world knock off shop - and not official movie merchandise.

And now they're just repainting figures from 2, 3 years ago - with a little chrome thrown in for good measure?

It's more than just sad, it's an insult to fans and collectors alike. Will this fool people into buying these figures - again? I guess we'll find out.

But I predict that these figures will mostly flop, so that Hasbro will once again report 'poor sales', and use that as an excuse to make future figures even cheaper and crappier.

Hasbro, in my book we call that a 'self-fulfilling prophecy'. Major pass on all of these. If I wind up getting any of them (which I doubt) it will be on clearance about a year later in Ross or TJ Maxx.

From Baltmatrix. Taking a look at the new AoE Optimus. I'd probably just stick with the evasion mode myself, since the ROTF Optimus is perfect for me, but this thing is pretty sweet with the shield and sword, and it's got a nice vehicle mode. Maybe I'll wait for a sale before I consider picking it up.

Only on sale, however.
It suffer from the "thin plastic syndrome2 of early FOC figures. It feel light and cheap. It have a giant hole in the dino chest. Tail is fat. It's not that fun to transform. It's "meh" looking in dino mode. However, it'a glorious in robot mode.
Purists will hate me for this, but I find the AoE voyager Grimlock to be a WAYYYYYYY superior toy.

That Grimlock deluxe Prime two pack looks to be the only set I'd want. The Constructbots set looks nice but I'll hold out for that giant set with the rocket launchers.
