The Energon Pub

[Va'al]

We've been seeing all the coverage from the New York Toy Fair 2014, including the several galleries of the different lines, thanks to Seibertron and El Duque's efforts, with Generations, Age of Extinction, Hero Mashers, Rescue Bots, Kre-O and more covered! To round it all up, Hasbro has now also sent us their official product images for all the reveals from yesterday! We're posting them all in this thread, as multiple news posts, so keep looking - to begin with, check out the Generations reveals below.

Can't really tell whether Venin's head has been retooled, or just cleverly painted to resemble G1 Bugly. Worth noting is that Gears' partner has G1 Micromaster Eagle eye's colors.

We gave you a look at the upcoming Age of Extinction toy line yesterday, straight from our own El Duque and Seibertron. Their pictures and videos gave you a great first look at what we can expect for this line of toys. Today, we bring you even more great images from the Age of Extinction line; this time from Hasbro’s official images.

We’ve posted them below for you to take a look at. Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub, and keep watching, as we will be bringing more official Hasbro images to you throughout the day. We will also be bringing you the official Hasbro images of the Simplified line of movie toys a little later.

Nightbeat looks great. Glad to see Hasbro did go with a retool/repaint of IDW Bumblebee afterall. Jhiaxus looks pretty nice too. The remolded head, wings, and nosecone really give the mold a distinctly different character from the Armada Starscream version. I know many fans would rather see a Jhiaxus with a "G2" color scheme, but I think this orange and black deco looks slick, while Jhiaxus' more "traditional" color scheme would just look embarassingly gaudy.

[Dead Metal]

Gotta say the Generations Movie Dinobots look awesome. Sadly Grimlock's dino-mode looks terrible on both the Leader (too long and flat body) and Voyager (too fat and short). But the bot-mode looks damn fine! It does kinda look like he has limited arm articulation and suffers from "monkey arms".

The Flat-nosed Optimus Prime looks cool, well except for the weird arm design, yea monkey arms.

Pretty damn cool though overall.

[Ravage XK]

Jetfire looks borderline Masterpiece if it weren't for the ugly hollow leg and arm pieces. Still think he looks like a small Leader class to me.

Ready for some more official images from Hasbro? We've been hearing and seeing about these Hero Mashers for a while now, check out below the official photography from the company!

[Genocide G2.0]

I will end up buying all of these , Even though i think the Dinobots are looking a little to much like Beast hunters when it comes to the aesthetics and the colors are a bit wild for me, guess we will have to wait and see see if there movie accurate .

I gotta say i really like Bulk Hound just look at all those accessories at last movie figures with actual guns & melee weapons .

generations roadbuster looks cool until you come to his feet.......or as I like to call them Sideshow Bob feet.

[Bumblevivisector]

Slash looks like he's named for what those leg-spikes do to his stomach every time he takes a step. Ouch.

Yeah, no matter how bad the movie comes out, there's no way I'm not getting at least one of each Dinobot, though which Grimlock is the definitive version will be hard to say until I actually see them on the shelves.

And the Mashers aren't doing too much for me so far, but if they're all interchangeable between properties, that'll probably change as they add more licenses than TF and Marvel.

[ScoutBumblebee]

Here are even more official Hasbro images, this time from the ConstructBots line. If you checked out the gallery yesterday, then you saw the pictures posted up from our staffers at hand at the Toy Fair, El Duque and Seibertron. Take a look now at the Hasbro pictures to get even more in depth with what we can look forward to in the months to come.

Jetfire has the nicest looking robot mode I've seen in a while. It's kind of cheating that he wears the entire plane as a backpack, but that's a minor quibble of mine.

Skybyte Looks kind of kibbly, but it looks pretty nice nonetheless.

I was really excited to see Roadbuster, and initially he looked good. But repeated analysis of him has caused him to lose points with me. I may actually get FansProject's version.

Jhiaxus kind of looks like an orange bat. I would've liked to have seen a more G2 colourscheme, but since I don't have much of an interest in the character, it will suffice.

Windblade looks very cool. I'll probably place her next to Drift for weeaboo overload.

Nightbeat's pretty good, but I loathe the gun that the mold comes with. He'll suffice until someone does a Headmaster version. I can't wait to get The Club's version off my shelf.

The Legends Class are all pretty good, but with the exception of Cosmos and Tailpipe, 3rd Parties are doing a better job or they're irrelevant to my interests.

Hound has some of the coolest weapons I've seen in years. I want to get him, toss the figure and keep the accessories. Hell, it's probably cheaper than some 3rd party add-on kits.

I'm torn on the Dinobots. They look cool and not as messy or over-designed as I had feared. But at the same time they're just not what I want on my shelves. Maybe when the inevitable G1-style repaints cone to market I'll pick up a couple.

The Starscream Hero Masher has the derpiest face

The Flat-nosed Optimus Prime looks cool, well except for the weird arm design, yea monkey arms.

Actually, Leader Grimlock and Voyager flat-nose OP clearly have wrist swivels, so that's a not to the monkey arms on them.

Sadly I don't see any wrist swivels on voyager Grimlock.

no dinobots are not movie accuate in colors they are more silver, grey looking dino modes in trailer if dino bots have color to them in bot mode in movie may not see much of it, something Hasbro roadbuster is making me not like it as much to fansproject version which sucks armor card looks great bot mode uneasy with,.

flatnoe truck prime unless there is slot on his left to put an extra smoke stack in truck mode I will most likey pass on him one smokestack in truck mode looks un even

To finish off the thread with official Hasbro product images, here's a look at the line that had everyone worried from Age of Extinction: the simplified, aimed at younger children Robots in Disguise movie line, featuring Flip-Change, Power Battlers and One-Step figures and the massive Stomp and Chomp Grimlock. You may also spot an interloper at the end, but we'll let it slide, yes?

Those tiny Construct-bots guys look awesome I might even buy some of the better ones at full price. Lockdown and Hound look particularly appealing. I think Hasbro is doing much better with Construct-bots this time around. Also that red dino from the simplified line looks happy to see me

I could not stop chuckling as I uploaded that image.

I've maybe changed my mind about getting all of the deluxe and voyager Dinobots. The raptor dude looks stupid with all his claws, feathers and his hard hat, and I've never been a fan of the spinosaurus. I always thought it looked like the dinosaur all the other predators took the piss out of, with its big flashy sail and a snout like a pterodactyl. I might pick up Bulkhead though. With the exception of the weird forearms he looks like he'd make a pretty awesome enforcer-type.

Sky-byte is really cool. I'm assuming the comics would explain why he's sporting a Predacon insignia. I'll probably pick up Jhiaxus though, if only to harvest that amazing head sculpt. Nightbeat's pretty boss as well. New head and flames are very cool.

[Noideaforaname]

I'm kinda glad I couldn't find Starscream and Waspinator, Acid Storm and Venin (Bugly) look a lot better.

With how often his toys have a screen-face, I'm wondering if Lockdown's supposed to be a big reveal in AoE... which is odd since it's not like he'd be instantly recognized by the common moviegoer.
Totally going to give Kreon Lockdown a gunface.

Still no names for those Micro-Changers...

Customizer Drift has a helicopter rotor. Weird.


Riiiiiiiight...

PENISAUR!!

Is it wrong that out of all of those images, the figure I'm most looking forward to is Death's Head?

Yeah i should have made my self a little more clear . I was thinking in either mode they might show a faint glimpse of these colors as if it had been worn with age , i know they have a metallic deco and i wasn't expecting a gang of rainbow dinosaurs running wild in the movie .

Come to think of it, Hasbro is being really smart about those tiny Construct-bot guys. Bionicle used to sell very small sets of main characters, but Bionicle's successor Hero Factory has had no such tradition. I've been thinking that Hero Factory's lack of such small sets is a bad idea. Small items are appealing to kids as impulse buys. So Hasbro is doing something with their Construct-bots line, that LEGO has stopped doing with their Hero Factory line. Really smart move on Hasbro's part
