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.

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

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.

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.

But the bot-mode looks damn fine! It does kinda look like he has limited arm articulation and suffers from "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.

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.

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...

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 .

Going to start off with Generations:
Totally dig Nightbeat from Bumblebee. So glad that I couldn't find Goldfire. I was going to get him for the sake of owning at least one version of the mold, but seeing Nightbeat, I'll make sure to pick him up.
Windblade looks nice when she's transformed properly. Probably will pick her up.
I wish they had done a G2-accurate deco for Jhiaxus. For those who say that the deco would look wonky, the deco on the retail versions of the Fall of Cybertron Combaticons were pretty wonky themselves.
I'm liking Roadbuster. Pretty much poops on Fansproject's (sorry Mkall).
There's only two things that bug me with Sky-Byte; his claw/fin arm and his legs. I feel like the arm should be larger, and I do not like the looks of his legs.
Jetfire is perfect. I like how his Macross Valkyrie head is actually a straight-up mask, and his cartoon-accurate head is the real deal.
I'll be anxiously awaiting more Generations reveals. So far, it and other Classics-affiliated figures are a big part of my collection.
On to the Age of Extinction figures:
I'm happy to see the Age of Extinction toys to be properly transformed. They look much more appealing than the galleries implied.
I'm torn on the Dinobots. I'll probably pick up at least some of them, mainly Slug and Strafe. Scorn looks cool, but Slash has got some issues with stabbing himself with his knees. I don't know which version of Grimlock I like least; Voyager looks the best, but it's too small. Leader is the best size, but the T-Rex mode looks disproportional. I'll wait for some in-hand images to make a final decision.
Even though we didn't get official images for him and Bumblebee for whatever reason, Crosshairs looks awesome, will probably be picking him up.
Drift's deco still befuddles me. If he's primarily black with teal accents in the film, then where did the blue come from? I mean, he looks cool, but his deco bothers me as much as Generations Jhiaxus.
Hound looks great, but I don't like the accordions that are his arms. I doubt he'll have sprongy punchy arms in the film.
Galvatron looks... generic. That's all I can say. If he had more color on him, I'd bite some more. Really, it depends on how he's characterized in the film before I make a final decision.
Can't wait to see more reveals in the coming months! Hopefully we'll see more Decepticons, as all we've seen in the collector-oriented line is Galvatron.

It's not the wrist swivel I worry about, I noticed those, it's the elbows. Look at them, it looks like they permanently face inward, I can't seem to see any bicep joint that would move the elbow into a more natural pose.

will definetly get jetfire and roadbuster. closest ive seen em come to their source material incarnations in ages.
the dinos are the real winners for me though.
will definetly get the grimlock with the black legs with the golden mace (cant fecking tell which is leader/voyager/basic on the images seen) seems to be the one most porportional.
nice to see the head mold even evokes the big grim (well whats been in the comics recently anyway)
strafe and slug look much better than i epected and im probably gonna get the spinosaurous one too. the raptor one looks daft though. keep thinking of that beaswars one from way back that was based on an archeoptryx.
all in all though it bodes well for the coming film . ironically i'd probably be happier with a more flim accurate steel grey paint scheme on the dinos. but thats a small complaint. these guys coulda been ALOT worse.
cant wait to see the in hand images.

Seriously though, this is better than Botcon. What's up with that?
I like Nightbeat. I'm glad he's not just a Jazz repaint too. Too bad I already have Bumblebee from that mold, but this will do. I'll probably transform his bot mode with doors pointing downwards to differentiate.
It is a little unfortunate that Jetfire's chest is such a cheat, but I expected it as soon as I saw the different canopies in each mode. He looks super cool regardless and will be inhabiting my MP shelf.
Hound would be better without those noodly arms. His arsenal is awesome, and the truck is really cool too.
I wish Evasion Mode OP's upper arms were actually silver like that on the actual toy. Looks a lot better that way. Still a definite buy at this point.
The rest of the (non-AOE) Generations toys I have already expressed my excitement about!

Then again, just about everything new that we've seen thus far since yesterday was already told to us from the giant toy list we saw from Hasbro's customer service system, so we can probably use that to gauge what more there is to come.Mindmaster wrote:Sabrblade wrote:With all the awesome reveals we got here, just imagine how much more awesome BotCon is going to be with even MORE reveals!kirbenvost wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Said this before and I'll say it again.

Do you communicate with other humans much? If you aren't able to articulate your thoughts more effectively than this keep them inside your head.

In hindsight, this kinda makes the Shout! Factory subs seem a bit hypocritical (or at least, moreso than they already were), retrospectively.

And you know these aren't the movie colors how?
For all we know, the dinobots may very be those exact colors and the dark coloration on Grimlock in the trailer is nothing but dirt and moss covering him.
Same goes for Strafe.
The other dinobots have yet to appear in video form so you can't say these aren't the colors they have.
