I will definitely keep that option in mind, but I'm going to wait and see if HTS gets them in, if possible. If any US retailer would carry the Hasbro version, it'll be them.

Yeah, for simplified transformers that are all about a gimick, they look really nice.

I like that vehicon. I guess maybe that's something I could hunt for at Ross or TJ Maxx I suppose. AoE stuff is quickly vanishing. (Kinda happy about 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!

How about this monster truck?

At 42cm in height hes a little large but could be another addition to ones shiny collection!

Figures the 2 characters that don't have a trillion billion other toys would end up being cancelled.

Don't be so quick to say that, we've yet to receive confirmation. High Octane Bumblebee is also part of that wave btw.

damn id like to get the vehicon but i know itll never hit the shelves, lockdown & his wave still havent made its way to the pegs and doubt they ever will.

I'm very hopeful this will make its way out. BBTS has a case pre-order up that features the Vehicon and HO Bumblebee but not Junkheap. These were the best figures by far in the AOE line.

It ain't over till the fat lady sings, and the following listing shows that we will be finally getting the Hasbro release of the remaining Power Battler toys from the Age of Extinction toyline.

Entertainment Earth has just put up listings for fast action battler bundles.

These bundles include the last wave of Fast Action Battler figures which feature, HIGH OCTANE BUMBLEBEE, VEHICON and JUNKHEAP.

Fast Action Battlers are a superficially similar line from the first and second Movie Toylines. I'm pretty sure these ones are called Power Battlers

Do we have any kind of confirmation that Vehicon and JunkHeap will be available as anything other than Fast Action Battlers from Hasbro or is this all we get unless we want to shell out exorbitant prices for the Takara Asia Exclusives? I can totally see Hasbro screwing us in this respect and then saying "Hey, you asked for them, we gave 'em to ya" when what we really wanted was the actual Deluxe (or whatever the heck it is) Class figures.

That's all we'll get in terms of actual molds for the two, from Hasbro and TakaraTomy. In fact, of the two molds TakaraTomy will release only Junkheap in Transformers Adventures, done in blue and white.

Let me correct myself.

Figures the 2 characters that don't have a trillion billion other toys would end up bundled with a half-dozen characters that do have a trillion billion other toys.

There.

Thanks JelZe.
While I find it disappointing I will try to keep my cynicism in check until I see them "in hand" and hold off on final judgement of these two but I was really hoping that they were going to get a better treatment. Who knows, I may be surprised at the final product.
Although, it does fall in line with the scenario I presented in my first post so its not like this comes as a surprise to me.

I'm bumping this. Why, you ask? Because I finally got the Breakout Battle/Farmageddon set and it's just great. Three fun molds, and the box is just awesome. Easy to get the bubble out and have a barn, a tree, and an explosion to use as a diorama. I <3 this set so much. Why did no one force me to buy this sooner?

I'm glad you like it. I on the other hand am happy with just having the Generations AOE figures

The final wave of Age Of Extinction toys have been online only, so far, and for high prices since it's a single pack each of the Power Battlers Vehicon and Junkheap. It seems that's about to change, however, because the Vehicon has been sighted at close out retail store Ross!

Fellow fan and collector Andres Cova found the Vehicon at his local Ross store and provided visual proof of his find, including the price, which is $5.99

Andres posted his find in the Facebook group TRANSFORMERS ADDICTS! and we've shared it here for you to enjoy:

You can see our gallery of the Vehicon figure in question, by clicking right here: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers- ... on/3588/1/

If you have a sighting, please share it with us using the sightings submission form and post it in our sightings forum, and remember...

Well, at least I only grossly overpaid for one of the three new ones in that wave. Can't win 'em all.

Well, that's basically what will happen. :/

Still, Ebay will be so flooded with these, the prices will drop back to normal retail levels and /or the basterds will be stuck with massive overstock. :evil:

It seems a few late Age of Extinction products are now surfacing at discount chains, like the recently reported Power Battler Vehicon. Well today, Seibertron himself found wave 2 of the Age of Extinction Kreo Microchangers at Dollar Tree. These are individual Kreons, 12 in a set, sold in blind bags. They were 2$ each, which Seibertron says is an " absolute steal".
