Video Reviews - Transformers: Age of Extinction ConstructBots and Dino Riders: Strafe, Slug, Slash

Starscream's colors really remind me of his Botshot launcher set from 2011.
My take on him reappearing, is that we've seen no characters that aren't going to be in the movie. Even though there probably won't be alot, we'll probably get a few new characters. However Starscream isn't a new character, so we shouldn't just cast him as a toy only character.
Galvatron looks great though, if backwards

Doesn't look "rusted" so much as it looks "brown".

I want to know what the other figures in that pic are.

A rereleased Dread from DOTM, which will be used to replicate Savoy's vehicle in the Optimus hunt. (there were rumors that the Dreads make an appearance in the movie, but so far we've seen nothing to substantiate that. Hasbro's only including a transformable version of the vehicle so the boxset will sell.)

The other is the Sonic RS that Shane has in the film. It's Hot Shot, apparently. BotCon seems to have spoiled a hidden plot point for the upcoming film, or he transforms as a toy only and remains just a vehicle in the film. We'll find out in about a week.

A dread might return because people saw the car with Galvatron and Stinger

I actually hunted down a Crankcase with the longer fingers. It was good but not worth a second dip.

All the better. So that adds Lockdown to my list of Age of Extinction figures to get.

Well, we have a lockdown that does gunface, can we get one that does hookhand next?

The "ultimate" grimlock were getting also uses the metal pins in the simplified toys. When you have one "ride" him in dinosaur mode it unlocks new sounds and stuff.

I hope his gun is well attached to his face. I'm afraid that the tabs could be loose and if I accidentally hit his face, the gun will come flying off.
