The Transformer section is looking very poor too. No Generations of any kind...what happened to Target?!? I use to be able to count on them quite a bit.
You did, but we got a buttload of emails and had to work through them in order of ugency.

Target has only been around in my area for about a year so I can understand the poor distribution but it still stands that they are by far the least dependable for anything transformers related. Their generations line is still at HOIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some already have been released, i.e. the Kmart exclusive Voyager Prime & Grimlock 2-pack.

No I think he means the Leader Class and the Autobot 5-pack platinum sets. I might be wrong, but I believe that they'll be released in September or October.

Do we know the exclusivity of these platinum sets? Like who will be distributing them? Will it all be KMart?

Grimlock looks like a badass with the chrome highlighted parts and the painted black face really does it for me and make Grimlock stand out, more a demon/samurai warrior than a dinobot, but I'll take it.
I just feel with the chrome and extra paint here and there, really makes these two stand out compared to their counter-parts that's sold individually.

WilliamJames88 - I thought I heard somewhere that they would be Toys R Us exclusives.

Quick thoughts:
Joints on the Classics version feel loosish/soft (but not too bad) - I think it's due to the plastic quality, my KO Ultra Magnus feels like it's made of better plastic.
Having said that the paint apps are top grade, doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart, and will be mostly for display.
The evasion mode version, no problems with construction, but the paint apps could use some work, looks better in alt mode than robot. (Might display it this way next to my platinum chrome version in robot mode)

Age of Extinction Generations Voyager Class Drift!
The figure is based off of the DOTM Skyhammer mold, but sports a blue and gold colorscheme, new weapons and a new head to bring you Drift in his third mode, a helicopter. The helicopter mode (and transformation to and from) were shown very briefly in this summer's TF film, Age Of Extinction. Considering the difficulties of taking a Bugatti Veyron and turning it into a robot AND a helicopter, a reuse of the Skyhammer mold was the next best possible plan.
Drift is partnered in the newest (and seemingly final) Voyager wave with Dinobot Slog.
