Via
Transformers Dioramas on Facebook, we can bring you a look at the official images of the Age of Extinction Dino Sparkers assortment. These are part of the "young ages" marketed segment of the line, and feature pull-back and go Dinobots with little Transformers riding on them like knights jousting in a tourney in days of old.
The idea behind this subline, according to the
Hasbro Toy Fair 2014 press release, is that kids can race these toys head-on against each other, trying to knock the little rider figures off of the dinos - and the dinos also light up with real sparks as they go!
Seen here are the Drift with Slug and Optimus Prime with Grimlock sets - the announced Bumblebee with Strafe set and rumored Lockdown with "Wolf" set are not shown.

The
Transformers Asia website has updated with images of the Transformers Generations Decepticon Specialists set. The set includes Classics Astrotrain, Universe Galvatron and Universe Tankor / Octane in revised decos. The three Decepticons in the set each have new paint applications, with metallic purple on Galvatron. Astrotrain is based on his Henkei release, but with metallic purple paint rather than chrome. Octane seems to be largely unchanged from his previous releases, but is a "best of both" blend of his Henkei and Universe decos.
The set is due out in Asia on 25 March 2014, and
comes with a Decepticon themed earphone cap plug.
