Fellow fan and collector, Blacklai, has posted a pictorial review of the soon to be released Autobots Unite figure boxset! The set consists of film accurate redecos of Deluxe Class figures Bumblebee, Crosshairs, Drift, plus Voyager Class figures Hound and (Evasion Mode) Optimus Prime. (The latter features a remolded head as well as a new G1-esque deco.)

Price and release date information has not been released as of yet, but as soon as we know, you will. Until then, let these pics whet your whistle.

These look really nice with all the little details painted in (taillights anyone?). But it really gets to me that alot of my main problems with their decos aren't fixed. Drift is still blue, not even dark blue or navy blue, just blue. And John Goodbot still has a black beard which makes him look like a pirate. I think it was silver in the movie. At any rate, considering what these will surely cost, I really wish they would have done some more obvious stuff.

Sorry to be another negative nancy, but...

Hooray, the OP repaint/remold everyone wanted in a likely cost-prohibitive set that no one will buy! :BANG_HEAD:

That said, these decos look really great compared to the originals. If I was collecting AoE and was lucky enough to have NOT already picked these characters up, this would be a must-buy.

Not really my problem because as usual, TrU hate Québec.

As I was seeing these pictures, I was "ooh-ing" and "aah-ing" at the incredible insight they had to bother painting the damn rear-lights! Appart that, not much differences to justify paying a premium.
Well, appart that Hound who is now totally Movie Bulkhead!

So I've been a bit remiss in acquiring any AOE toys, partly due to being out of town, partly because the movie aesthetic bugs me more than a little. But semi-completeist that I am, I'm still interested in getting at least one representation of each deluxe/voyager/leader(possibly) mold. The Autobots Unite and Dinobots Unleashed 5-packs seem like a great start, but what else should I wait for before I start hunting individual figures? Are there any planned repaints of Snarl/Slash? Do Lockdown and Galvatron only exist on their own? Are the Leader versions of Optimus/Grimlock worth the price/space?

It seems the Autobots are getting preferential treatment with all the releases. The Breakout Battle is another to look out for, as it has the "rusty" Prime as seen in the movie. So far, Lockdown and Galvatron are on their own without any repaints, and with none announced that'll remain the case. The Leader versions are worth looking into at the very least, but avoid the First Edition! Keep in mind that Optimus Prime will get show-accurate retooling done by TakaraTomy, and that both are available in a 2-pack, with Grimlock in black.

How much would this cost? I didn't buy any of the old releases so if the price-point is ok, I'll definitely pick this set up.

Definitely want this set. Haven't got any Autobots apart from Evasion Prime and of course that hasn't got the faceplate which I generally prefer.

I thought it was BBTS/TRU for the 5-pack of premium decos?

Platinum Editions are premium decos.

As for TRU, we do know that TRU Canada is getting it, but no one word yet on TRU USA.

Thanks for the tips. I do like that black Grimlock and rusty Prime looks like a nice change from his normal -- and over-represented -- color scheme. It's unfortunate that Snarl/Slash didn't make the Platinum cut.

I still havent picked up any of the new movie figures, just dont feel the urge as Ive been concentrating on my Classics stuff, although these new shots of the Premium set do look amazing..

..but this shot makes the Deluxe alt modes look huge; Voyager alt modes look tiny?

The first three, embedded below, are demo videos and a Designer Desk one, focusing on the gigantic Stomp and Chomp Grimlock, the Mega One-Step Bumblebee and the ConstructBots line. The Designer Desk video focuses on the Wal*Mart exclusive Showdown Collection, which includes the two legion size Bumblebee and Stinger, and Deluxe Generations Strafe. Check 'em all out below!

Transformers Toy Designer, Ramon Campos and Marketing Director, Jerry Jivoin, showcase the Stinger versus Bumblebee Showdown Collection, available exlcusively at Wal-Mart.

Why haven't we seen any images of Legends Hound and Lockdown? The guy in the video made it sound like they were supposed to be out in stores now, but we haven't even had any official confirmation beyond that video.

Comment by Spider5800 Sep 13, 2014

Nice. Painted rims and tail lights, extra details on the robot modes, a few extra decals...many improvements. They even got the blue rims on Drift (LOL that the original had painted rims, but the wrong color :lol:

).

Only things that kinda bugged me are how much lighter Hound is (which I can live with, since they gave him actual camo paint this time) and Optimus's black gun (I preferred it gray so it could double as DOTM Megatron's shotgun), but other than that pretty much upgrades all around. Will definitely pick this up.

Do we still not know a price for the US?

People make errors, you know? Even those working for Hasbro. Besides, don't count on them making new molds as all Legends are repaints of previous lines.
