Sometimes I don't understand how people can play with HotWheels, they don't turn into robots. But there are sometimes I just want a nice figure that'll look good on a shelf, transforming be damned. To each their own.

it looks like the sword has a 5mm diameter handle. it looks just big enough for P-RID Optimus prime / P-BH ultra Magnus

Given how the transformable attempts at Knight Optimus went, I think one with just the robot mode is more than welcome.

Sorry to say but looking at the instructions the handle is part of the hand

Something about the proportions. It sorta looks like Ironhide in Optimus Prime cosplay.

That was my exact thought, his big head looks like Ironhide's and the body is a little on the skinny side. It's affordable though. The definitive version of the new Optimus Prime's robot mode would be the model coming out late December.

hiya holks, i wanted to share this: my autobots united 5-pack (sorry crappy phone pic). this is a half assed review i guess

i skipped the general releases of hound, drift, and crosshairs, and boy am i glad i did. hound is a really great figure with PILES of weapons, only drawback being his feet. drift and crosshairs have their drawbacks, but are still some really nice figures. bee is bee, and prime is prime. and some of these figures biggest flaws were the paint apps, which were completely rectified with this set. they are stunning.

and take it from someone who knows EMOP's (ive got 7 and counting), AU prime is probably the best one. one of the few with a faceplate, perfectly placed and crisp paint apps. only thing missing is the wheel rims... *sigh*

Fellow Seibertronian Bounti76 has let us know about the special Amazon edition of Transformers: Age of Extinction Slog, the one featuring the G1 deco to accompany the SDCC Dinobot exclusive box set. It appears that a release date has finally been set, and those who ordered the figure will see it arrive by the beginning of January!

I got an email from Amazon a while back that they were shipping part of an order I'd placed. When the order was first placed, they expected a release date of mid-December for their exclusive G1 redeco of AOE Voyager Class Slog, but it had subsequently been changed to an undetermined release date.

Well, I finally got a follow-up email with them stating that they now have a release date! Attached is the email I got. Looks like he'll be arriving the first week of January!

after waiting this long i was worried it was on the chopping block.

Got my $25 Leader Grimlock from Amazon! :DANCE:

Now the Voyager version will be relegated to my "Transformers that kids are allowed to play with" collection (as opposed to the "These are daddy's figures; don't touch!" collection).

I thought that would be the same with me but as it turns out, I take the voyager out more simple because it is more in scale with the others.

I cancelled this figure a long time ago. Hasbro toy shop sold me an SDCC set with a grimlock that had chipped chrome. They refused to exchange just the grimlock. When I got the set exchanged, the figures were perfect but the playset was all torn and damaged. I returned that crap for good and stuck with the colored retail versions. I really never needed these anyways, it was just an impulse buy. Fansproject has the G1 dinobots covered.

You sure, I heard their Slag wasn't as expected.

Hey does anyone know if Toys R Us is going to get the Transformers: Age Of Extinction platinum edition sets?? I haven't seen any and it said online that the Autobots United set was released in October.

They already have them but not in big amounts and are not prone to reorder them sicne they are quite expensive, take a lot of shelf space, and might not sell right away. The only place you would not find them is in the province of Quebec in Canada due to language laws.

ive seen in stores: breakout battle, autobots united, leader OP/grim 2-pack
and TRU.ca has the dinobot 5-pack up for preorder, so i assume theyll eventually have it in store.

Thanks Shajaki!

Comment for William-James88: Do you think they will be in stores in the U.S. eventually though?

As I said, they should already be there. Only the Dinobot 5 pack has not been released yet. If you do not find them in your store, then it's because your store has not ordered or reordered it. These are not known to stay in stores for long. So if they are not there right now, then I would not count on them showing up again, except for the dinobot pack that hasnt come out yet.

But why not try online at Toysrus.com. Most are expensive enough to warrant the free shipping. I always shop at online retail stores now, they are more likely to have your figure in stock.

The article regarding this awesome sword pictured below has been moved the to the right thread.

News Credits: 293 · by **shajaki** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 10:58 am

two things i was unaware of: armor knight OP had an entirely new sword, and that this exclusive swords was just that new sword repainted. ill still try to hunt it down if the price isnt cray cray.

News Credits: 456 · by **Sabrblade** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 10:58 am

So, Alfes 2010 managed to get a hold of the sword. Cool.

Though, shouldn't this be in the Lost Age/Movie Advanced Series thread?

Hopefully Lena will be carrying some.
