Is it safe to assume the last of the AOE Constructbots have been canceled? I remember seeing we were supposed to get more of those foil bagged "Dino Riders" like movie Starscream and I think ROTF Megatron. What about those fully transformable Kreo kits?

I spotted AOE Constructbot bumblebee recently and I had never seen him before.

It was a wave 1 set. These Dino Riders I'm talking about were going to be Wave 3, or 4 figures. Should've been out before the holiday.

No, I meant this bumblebee:



I was talking about AOE construct bots in general. I know the dino riders you are talking about and I didnt see them either. But if this Bee and the accompanying Hound were finally found at retail, yours might too.

Yeah I knew you meant that one. That was a wave 1 or 2 set. It's been on HTS for awhile now.

But was it ever available at retail? TRU, Target or Walmart?

Yup, for some reasons, those two were only found at Winners. Great sets too because there's some new parts in these and the transformation is slightly different.

As far as I know they were. I actually didn't get to TRU that much over the summer so I'm the wrong person to ask

I love it, the display/caption possibilities are a comedy gold-mine.

My favourite is:

i saw that. pretty neat. the "one color" proto's always have a nicer look to them than the multicolored ones.

I really want a Silver Knight version of the standard Leader Optimus Prime. I have the Target exclusive repaint of the FE mold, and the Smash-Change, but I want a regular Leader in the SK theme. And a One-Step while we're at it.

I could repaint one myself, but I'm hopeless at painting. I once painted a doghouse for my dog and the ASPCA was all over me. So yeah, let's have these Silver Knights, Hasbro!

There is a silver knight one step but it's part of a Target exclusive set.

A 50-60$ set, Target exclusive.

Also, the line is pretty much over so a SK Leader will never happen.

Hey does anyone know how long Big Bad Toy Store keeps the transformers movie figures in stock? I'm wondering how long the Age Of Extinction platinum edition sets will be available.

Depend of how many they have in stock and how popular the thing is. If they have it for too long, it will eventually get on clearance. Sometime, a toy is their for just a few days, other times, they have if for years. You can never tell.

It's up to you not risk missing out and buy right now, or try your luck and wait for a sale.

That totally exists actually. TRU has an exclusive silver deco leader optimus set that comes with the MP trailer and an exclusive sideswipe toy.



But maybe I got the wrong optimus, and if so, sorry for the confusion.

That would be the First Edition mold. The only Leader-sized Silver Knight is the Target exclusive Platinum series Silver Knight Optimus Prime, also from the First Edition mold.

Wait, so this guy is an inbetween silver knight Optimus then? Because he has more silver than the original amazon exclusive first edition mold but less than the target exclusive first edition mold. Why so many dumb editions of this terrible modl?!

Silver Knight Optimus Prime gets his title from the color he's in, not from what the toy is made of. Currently we have:

- a One Step Changer in a multipack
- a Japanese One Step in another multipack, dubbed "Armor Knight Optimus Prime"
- a chromed out Deluxe from the DotM Deluxe mold, packed with a G1-colored FoC Grimlock
- a First Edition redeco in grey with some chrome
- a Construct-Bots Dinobot Rider
- a Kreon

You forgot the big "Smash n Change" version, and finally, the shampoo bottle version.

If you've been a long time fan of Transformers, you know that the final waves of a line are usually quite difficult to find or even outright canceled. The final wave of Power Battlers from Age Of Extinction has been MIA, this wave consists of Junkheap (Waste Management garbage truck) and Vehicon (rally car/dune buggy used by Cemetery Wind during the farm chase scene), as well as repacks of figures from the previous wave.

It seems the final wave may not yet be canceled and we might just be able to obtain these for our collections! Courtesy of fellow fan Daim Choc, sharing a post from another fan, Zang How, we now see the last two new molds of the AoE toyline, in hand and the features of the Vehicon.

We've mirrored the post and a partial collection of the images, below. Click on any of the pictures to see the full pictorial.





















We still don't know that these will receive a US release at this time, but we will keep you updated if we receive any more news on these two figures.

Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

For those who want the Junkheap mold, if it doesn't make it to the U.S., Takara's gonna be releasing it in the Adventure line as Junkion, redecoed in the Japanese garbage truck colors.
