Every time I mock Hasbro for pooping out yet another Bumblebee figure, they seem to double down and poop out even more.

Will anyone actually buy this? Not me. In fact the ONLY movie toy I've gotten so far is Evasion Prime. And that's only because he is more like G1 Prime than Bayverse Prime.

And as I predicted, NO one is buying those ridiculous shampoo bottles which Hasbro is calling 'action figures'.

They may be selling some because they keep making them. Still, I can understand the one-step changers and such. However, I don't get those big, unpainted brics at all. Make them GI-Joe sized and sell them for 2$ at the dollar store and it will be fine. Instead, they are fawking huge and go for 10-15$ each. WTF, man?!

BTW, dude, by not buying voyager Hound, Grimlock, and Galvatron, you are missing out.

You are not angry enough. If you get even angrier, Hasbro will totally listen to you.

From what I've heard, Hasbro is making a killing on the "Shampoo Bottle" toys in the world-wide market for whatever reason (think areas of the world where you don't expect to find Transformers that often). I have a feeling those extremely simplified toys will be around for a while unfortunately.

I've never even seen that Leader Bumblebee in stores.

Guess I'm just lucky.

Love Takara's evasion mode Optimus. I prefer it to the Hasbro one. Seems like alot of people are tending towards the opposite. Anyone know why? Also it looks like this Evasion Mode Prime's gun would be a better color match for DOTM Megatron. Too bad you didn't get a shot of that Ryan

Because Hasbro's one better reflects how he looked in the movie in both modes instead of just in truck mode like Takara's does. Takara's robot mode is albino from head to toe, whereas both Hasbro's and the movie version two-toned.

This one figure is both extremes in rusty paint aps; barely any in bot mode and too much in truck mode. I need something in between.

There's that "Farmageddon" one, though I think it'd just be easier/cheaper to get the regular one on clearance and leave it outside until it's faded and weather-beaten.

[KapikoArt]

Same crappy hunchback from DOTM! Pass!

[Mr_Autobot411]

u kidding me hasbro.......


that mold was the worst bee mold ever, and now they are using it again......

man they must think we will buy anything, but sadly some do.........but i aint that stupid.

It is our pleasure to introduce to you, the next two inductees into the galleries of Seibertron. Two members of the Age of Extinction Dinobots, Strafe and Slash. Strafe who transforms into a two-headed Pteranodon was a Knight who was imprisoned on Lockdown's ship and freed by Optimus Prime. Slash transforms into a Velociraptor but was not featured in the Age of Extinction movie. Click on any of the images to see the full galleries.

Age of Extinction: Generations Strafe












Age of Extinction: Generations Slash

[TulioDude]

Strade looks pretty awesome for me!

Slash looks interesting.I want to see him in person.He must be cool.

[Noideaforaname]

What an unfortunate must-fit-the-package mistransformation.



I still wish they continued Cyberverse for this movie. The Dinobots would make great additions to the BH Terrorcons.

[Mindmaster]

Ladies and gents, 'bots and 'cons, we here at Seibertron.com are excited to present our newest additions to our ever-expanding toy galleries, Takara Tomy's Lost Age Grimlock (Generation One edition) and Slug (Generation One edition)! While from a glance they look the same as their San Diego Comic Con 2014 selves, these Japanese exclusives sport notable differences, such as less chrome, more details, and different paint applications. Without further adieu, the preliminary images to these new additions!

Takara Tomy: Movie Advanced Grimlock G1 Color Version


















Takara Tomy: Movie Advanced Slug G1 Color Version

[f-primus-unicron]

mix both versions to get the PERFECT g1 dinobots

[BERSEKAEL]

I still dream on this guys "legion" version...

[Emerje]

I think Hasbro won this round on both of them. Still kinda strange that they Takara Tomy based their Slug/Slag on Canadian Slag, or at least the Slag from the box photos. Seems like way too much red to be the true G1 Slag.

Rare and hard to find. Both toys have perfect detailing. I want to grab these toys. They look cool.

I think the black head would have looked better as well. Too much red.

ugh... truer words have never been said. id love to mix and match... but gawd DAYUM thats an expensive endeavour. id do it if slag was like half the price...

We told you we'd bring you more news in the black repaint department - and it's the two main characters from Transformers: Age of Extinction, Optimus Prime and Grimlock! Check out the latest instalment of the Seibetron.com galleries, featuring the Transformers Expo 2014 Nemesis Grimlock and Nemesis Prime Exclusives, redecos of Voyagers Evasion Mode Optimus and Dinobot Grimlock, both of which were limited to the Japanese event and we were able to procure for your visual enjoyment.

Takara Tomy: Movie Advanced Nemesis Grimlock

[Noideaforaname]

Kinda sad there are just as many Nemeses as there are canon Decepticons... and the one canon Nemesis, Stinger, is unaccounted for. Pfft.

Those two are pretty damn cool, though.

[shajaki]

i have no need for a black and purple grimlock. to me theres pretty much either nemesis/black (reserved pretty much for primes) and shattered glass. and SG grimmy doesnt look like that to me.

prime on the other hand, will be mine. even at those terrifying after market prices...

Well, if Optimus can have an evil clone, why can't Grimlock too?
