The Energon Pub

Sludge looks FANTASTIC. I'm going to want to pick him up for sure.

As for Snarl...why is he cosplaying Waspinator? I mean, I dig it, but it's a tad silly.

"Curled toes" always makes me think of these guys:

Wow those look sick. Cant wait to get them... do we know when they will be released... Wave 3... late summer early fall I am guessing?

From Takara:


I think this may be a prize in a raffle of some sort.

Is this an Age of Extinction figure, or just some unrelated promotion?

[Diem]

Another question... what's the deal with the Dinobots all having "Elf" feet/shoes in robot mode? Has anyone else noticed this? Or know why?

Given the knight-esque theme about them, it looks like it might be a spikier interpretation of some medieval types of boot.

I can accept that explanation, though the "curled-up ends(toes)" is still very much "elfish" as opposed to "knightish."

Nay! They are Gundam Deathscythe Hell Custom feet:

Magiking says hi.

It's a Lucky draw for sure.
Althought if the thing is recent, it's strange that they used the Optimus 2007 Movie Leader mold.

That's exactly what I saw when images of Grimlock came out - the concept art seems even more Gundam-esque. His head made me think of this.

Ah, Australia. When Nature dosent want to kill you, it's the prices of the toys and video games that take over.

[triKlops]

Damn, i was not expecting these to look this tempting.
Might have to cop these later on.

In a completely unsurprising twist for all the UK collectors, the upcoming Transformers: Age of Extinction Generations figures will be distributed largely as exclusives - the simpler Robots in Disguise, on the other hand, can be found with most retailers. Toys'R'Us UK will supply the Generations Deluxes, such as Scorn, Slug and Crosshairs, the Evolution Two-Packs, all for £14.99, and the Voyagers, like Evasion Mode Optimus Prime and Grimlock for £22.99. Argos.co.uk, on the other hand, has listed both Leader class figures Optimus Prime and Grimlock, each at £44.99, and the Grimlock Track set at £14.99. If you're heading out to hunt, make sure you point out new sightings in the appropriate section, and drop a line in the UK Sightings Thread!

Same with Canada. I went to Target today and: NOTHING. The employees didnt even know when there would be new toys. There arent even specials on deluxe beast hunters and the like to clear them out.
Amazon.ca has all deluxes, the 2 voyagers but NO leaders. Toysrus on the other hand just has the deluxe figures.

This is my first time following a launch and its a bit dissapointing.

This doesn't bode well for the Netherlands...

Baltmatrix looks at punching Crosshairs! The crazy punching gimmick is kinda cool, I'd have loved this as a kid! Just so crazy and hilarious.

As always, let us Brits know and we'll do our best to help out!

(I'm actually coming over to Amsterdam in a couple of weeks, if you want me to bag one or two things. PM me if interested.)

Usually, Canada is ALWAYS late compared to the USA when new things come out. Sometime, it's just a few days for a major Movie line. Sometimes, it's weeks and weeks for some Generations waves. Sometime, it's a FULL YEAR like the goddamn wave 2 of TF Prime deluxes.

Same old, same old. For the ones who wont wait, there's always online with extra money to pay toward shipping. It suck, but it's part of the game.

That sucks, there are no Toys R Us's in Ireland and I have no plans to buy an Leader class toys. Hasbro,Argos and Toys R Us should all be ashamed on themselves.

Are you in Eire or Northern Ireland? TRU UK has stores in Londonderry, Belfast and Sprucefield, and offer home delivery to the south! http://www.toysrus.co.uk/info/trubw-ire ... ick-up.jsf

Last we heard from YouTube reviewer Baltmatrix was a look at Transformers: Age of Extinction Voyager Autobot Hound - but thanks to fellow Seibertron.com user Fires_Of_Inferno, we take a look at the new punchy line of the Power Battlers with a video review of Power Punch Crosshairs! Check out the embedded clip below, browse the Seibertron.com gallery, and let us know what you think of these simple but fun-looking figures in the Energon Pub.

Chuckdawg did Quick Draw Hound, Baltmatrix did the Voyager one

You are absolutely correct. I am officially exhausted.

[Optimizzy]

Just sitting at my desk, posing my Evasion Mode Prime, and had a thought: Will maybe someone release a custom head for this guy? Perhaps with his faceplate? I would totally get that.

I really like the evasion mode prime. Its one of my favorite movie primes, but I'd love to be able to swap out a faceplate head. Heck. If I found out that one was coming out I'd get a third one! (I got an extra for painting)

Anyone else like this idea or are happy with the EM Prime?

[craggy]

which ones are the Evolutions 2packs? the deluxe Dinos with the wee minicons? or the BW repaints?

pretty flippin' obvious which one of them two got the better side of that deal.

The Dinos with the Mini-Cons, Legends or Energon Grimlock, where applicable. The BW and E-Cruellock repaints are from Walmart.
