Following the Toy Fair Investor Day
reveals, Hasbro has provided
USA Today with brand new Transformers: Age Of Extinction toy images showcasing the One-Step Changers and Chomp & Stomp Grimlock toys.
The images feature toys of Optimus Prime (Western Star truck altmode), Drift (Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse), Lockdown (Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 Coupe), Stinger (Pagani Huayra), Hound (Oshkosh Medium Tactical Vehicle), Slash (Velociraptor Dinobot), Bumblebee (2014 Concept Camaro) and Grimlock (T-Rex Dinobot).
Possible movie Spoilers below:
"Eighteen Autobot, Decepticon and Dinobot personalities roll out in the One-Step Changers assortment ($9.99 each, available in May). Youngsters can convert heroic Autobots such as their leader Optimus, loyal soldier Hound, the new Dinobot named Slash and former Decepticon tactician Drift — as well as bad guys like ace Decepticon bounty hunter Lockdown — from robot to secondary vehicle or dinosaur form in one move.
Fans of Optimus' trusted Autobot confidante Bumblebee get a treat with his Mega One-Step figure ($29.99, August). Not only can he switch from robot to sports car quickly, but he also comes with a disc launcher. Just avoid shooting the family dog with flying discs, kids.

Well, it seems as though the First Edition Age Of Extinction Optimue Prime isn't the only Transformers 4 product that is out there.
Images from Australia shows that Transformers 4 Age Of Extinction Construct-Bots are also out.
The toys feature the characters of Dinobot Riders Optimus Prime, Dinobot Riders Lockdown, Dinobot Riders Bumblebee, Dinobot Slug, Dinobot Grimlock, Dinobot Strafe and Dinobot Riders Drift.
With these images, we now have a confirmation of the Dinobot names leaked while back thanks to Hasbro's Official Website. The images also reveal that "Dinobot Riders" Construct-Bots are relatively smaller than the "Dinobot" Construct-Bots, implying that both toys meant to interact with each other.
Stay tuned with TFW2005 for our New York Toy Fair 2014 Coverage this weekend.

Children of the 1980s grew up loving Grimlock, and the ancient warrior returns for a new generation with Chomp and Stomp Grimlock ($79.99, August). The Dinobot boasts a chomping jaw and light-up in eyes in beast mode, and has an easy transformation to sword-swinging robot, too. Grimlock also interacts with his fellow toys — he comes with a nonconverting Optimus so kids can relive the extremely nerdy moment from the trailer where the Autobot rides Grimlock into battle, plus unlock sounds and pop-out weapons. Plus, he can be used with other One-Step Changer figures and has different lights and sounds whether you pair him with an Autobot or Decepticon."Check out the images, after the jump. Join with TFW2005 for our NY Toy Fair 2014 Coverage where we will reveal in hand images of the toys.

So, heard you may be aware of this bounty hunter known as Death's Head, yes?
The
previously reported Death's Head comic, Revolutionary War: Death's Head II #1, has been released, and in addition to being available in comic shops, it can also be
purchased right now on Comixology. A preview is also available on their website.
This is relevant to Transformers because, aside form the freelance peacekeeping agent's previous history with franchise, the issue has also been drawn by fan-favorite artist Nick Roche and penned by previous Transformers writer Andy Lanning (Infestation, Heart of Darkness).
Go buy it and support Nick Roche, eh?

Before the awesome weekend of Toy Fair 2014 is upon us, the News Staff of TFW2005 thought it would be fun to share with you a recent string of tweets from the Transformers Collector's Club.
This morning the
TCC tweeted out a set of characters from the most recent Club magazine, issue #55. This set of tweets is most interesting because it shows off character designs of "alternate universe "Beast" characters" using existing toy molds from the Generations, Prime and Universe toy lines.
We want to be clear these images are in no way indicative of planned toys, but they are worthy of some discussion given how well flow together in a "box set" style. Again, there have been no hints given that these are planned toys.Included in the images are characters Dynobot, Jawbreaker, Geckobot, Torca, Rattrap, and Botanica.
What does TFW think? Are these just part of the Club's storyline, or do they have potential to be future Club/BotCon toys? Sound off after the jump!
