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.

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


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. :P

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:

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".

Kick ass! Always nice when an item that had no hope for a wide release suddenly shows up, and at a nice discount!


... although the closest Dollar Tree to me is just out of convenience range. I can get there, but I really don't want to go out of my way if the store doesn't even have them. Besides, I already have the ones I really wanted anyways.

An absolute STEAL! :ic$:
I never have been very interested in visiting Dollar Tree, but this is making me wanna check my local D.T. out for Transformer deals! ;)^
