Transformers: Age of Extinction ConstructBots Silver Knight Optimus Prime and Grimlock Exclusive Set at Target.com

How many have been released in this line so far? And how many ? Can someone please explain this? I was at a TRU yesterday and it just hit me like a brick.

Like few I'm not a fine of the movies and this line like all the others (but I've got some figures like any acception to any rule) before but I think that blows only showing love for Autobots like this. Is there something I'm missing or is there a method to this madness? Perhaps there will be a wave containing only Decepticons.

Yeah this bugs me some being a fan and a inside.

The only Decepticons we've heard about getting toys in this line are Lockdown, Galvatron, Stinger, and Junkheap.

All of whom are either certainly not or possibly not Decepticons in the actual movie.

And remember, Hasbro does have a penchant to labeling "bad guy" toys as Decepticons purely for Marketing reasons. Case in point: Cybertron and Universe 2008 Unicron.

Ok, this is new. It turns out the Evolution 2-packs aren't limited to the US and the UK. They've started appearing in Japan, with Japanese inserts. Alfes2010 has posted pictorials of the Strafe and Dinobot Slug 2-packs:

Evolution 2-pack Strafe
Evolution 2-pack Dinobot Slug

As in the US, they're exclusive to Toys "R" Us, over there, no noticeable changes, including the G1 Strafe art

Point but I'm talking about actual figures that have already been released. Why only Autobots so far? Sorry if I wasn't clear on that.

Autobots maybe sell better than Decepticons to kids.

This ^^ It's more of an issue in Japan by hero toys by far out sell the villains, kids want to be Optimus Prime not Megatron.

Meanwhile, the Kre-O Microchanger waves generally have just as many --if not more-- Cons as Bots.

Construction toys are a different entity from action figure toys.

Oh, OHHHHH, I see what you did there. I think with the Micro changers the alternate mode is the deciding factor. Cons tend to have modes that are easier to reproduce.

I dont get it

Edit

Dammit! CONstruction toys, now I feel like an idiot

Looks like we we all seeing this at different point of views! I thought Chuck meant that, since he mentioned altmodes, Decepticons were easier to produce because Kreo Bricks with wings are considered jets, and as we all know most jets are Decepticons. On the other hand I thought Sabrblade was talking about Vehicon Kreons and the movie army-builder decepticons, when he commented about the abundance of Decepticons! Man, I've always been notorious for over thinking
