New Age of Extinction Construct Bots Found in Australia

Those look like the best-looking AOE toys we've seen thus far.

The sad part is, that's not an exaggeration...

Yeah, seems like they're going in an interesting direction with these sets. There are the Dinobots, and what appear to be simpler, smaller sets to ride them. They're really milking what'll probably be 5 minutes of Optimus riding Grimlock in the movie.

Hmmm, Hasbro really is getting into the whole baggie thing. Those look interesting.

Good, now people can stop calling the two-headed thing Swoop.

They look a lot like Dinozaurs figures, but with harder plastic and less chrome.

Emerje

yeah so far these are the best AOE toys. and i dont even like construct bots that much

The packaging reminds me of Beast Machine.

I might actually get these, my few survived Bionicles need some opponents.

So the two-headed dinosaur in the trailer is "Strafe".

Interesting.

These I would actually buy. I like the Lego Hero Factory sets, and while I didnt really have a use for the standard Constructo Bots, I like the Dinobot ones.

Thanks again to Australian Twitter user Sean Fewster, we get a nice look at some of the ConstructBot sets from the Age of Extinction line, reported earlier. Check out the mirrored images of Optimus Prime and Grimlock below!

Wow... I actually like how Grimlock turned out. But Optimus has one doofy looking robot mode. The idea of the interaction between them sounds interesting, though, so I'll give them that.

Goddamn, Sabrblade hit the nail hard on this. Will be immeasurably disappointed if this is the best Age of Extinction can give us.

Yep, still ugly.

More Construct-Bots? How about clearing out the ones still on the shelves and getting some Generations toys in there.

I hate Bayverse Grimlock's head design. Since when does Dinobot = Rhino Beetle? Or maybe he stole Manga Spawn's helmet...

This actually looks pretty good for a Bionicle - Transformer figure. I thought it was a good looking deluxe class figure but it's a constuct-o-bot thing.

I have little doubt that the main line will be decent as well.

compared to the shelf warmers we've got now those are pretty impressive, might pick up grimlock depending on the price.

Color me interested. I might pick up a couple on clearance. Let's face it,that Optimus is kinda cute

Oh, wow! Age Of Extinction toys that actually transform! I might finally have a reason to buy Construct Bots for the first time.

Sad to say.

What better way to show what I think of this, than with an 80's cartoon intro:

These look really pretty cool actually, better than anything we've seen of the main Movie line till now.
How sad is it, that that little Optimus there looks like he has a more involved and interesting transformation than the Leader Class figures.

I have to say... I'm actually kinda digging these. I really like the smaller sets for some reason. Guess the thought of a mini Lockdown amuses me.

Yeah, I'll probably be picking up that Grimlock and miniPrime, they look pretty good.

Those mini figures might be the Dark Horse of the AOE line. They look really cool and I think can fill the void that the Legion class is leaving behind.

So it's confirmed there won't be any Legends/Legion class figures? Well that's disappointing. They've been doing that line since at least Cybertron, and they sell like hotcakes. Seems weird to drop it.

No, there will still be Legends, as in those Targetmaster ones we've gotten for the Generations line. It's just the Cyberverse (Legion and Commander) isn't sticking around.

I meant going forward for the Movie stuff, I know about the Generations line.

Movie stuff is in Generations now. The adult toys for AOE are Generations, while the younger, simpler AOE toys are Robots in Disguise.
