TFW2005 member prime roller reports that the next assortments of Age of Extinction Power Battlers and One-Step Changers have been released in Taiwan. Power Battlers Wave 3 has been sighted (which adds Dinobots Grimlock, Slug and Snarl along with Decepticons Lockdown and Galvatron into the mix). One Step Changers Wave 4 has also been sighted. That assortment, the last of the Age of Extinction One Step Changers assortments, adds Prowl, Revenge of the Fallen Megatron, Rollbar and Strafe.
Hopefully this should mean a US release is not far behind. Watch this space for further updates.

Liking that Steeljaw there. Need to see him in person.

Hate these fucking things they won't stay in car mode. Only my Drift , Prime and Hound stays because they're designed better.

Hi yes, I need all of your Steeljaws.

1-step changer Megatron?
My 3 year old son will go mad if he ever sees it!

I won't be buying any of these but I do like that Prowl.
Raiyuki
Oh man the one one step changer I really want is almost here! Really want that Megatron. Sadly it'll probably be over a month before it actually hits shelves near me.
JoshFinn
Not for $449 dollars

Steeljaw & Slash look pretty cool. I have to admit the Slash 1 step has tempted me a little. But only because I love the colors. But I have the regular deluxe version. I guess this is the only way to get Steeljaw?

Oh damn…I hope Wave 4 will hit. Well Galvatron isn't too bad. I like the idea of the spinning grinder so I'll probably pick it up if I see it.
EMP Starscream
Steeljaw one-stepper has even sold out twice on Hasbro Toy Shop!
Catatronic
Wait! You guys are actually buying these? I thought nobody was going to buy the baby crap & only stick to the main line Generations.
So I guess that means now we know why Hasbro keeps making more Titan Heroes. You all say they suck & you won't buy them but secretly you are buying them.
Fallout
ugh prowl. that head is so going on dotm ratchet.
Nevermore
That thigh appears to have an extra articulation joint the other thigh doesn't.
Jalaguy
I really want to know how just one of Power Battler Lockdown's knees wound up on the orange sprue…
Sol Fury
Nope, he'll be wave 4 with Junkheap. Wave 3 is the assortment with the Dinobots, Lockdown and Galvatron.
PlanckEpoch
This is the Power Battlers wave with the Vehicon, right? I hope to see a few of those in the wild…
Basilisk
Dat Rollbar!
Autovolt 127
Their North American release can't be too far behind now…..

I don't believe I've seen these reported as being spotted out in the wild.
One-Step Changers waves 4 & 5.
Power Battlers waves 2.5 & 3.
Deluxe wave 3 is also out here (Snarl, Hot Shot/Tracks, Bumblebee)
I only snapped a few quick and crappy cell phone pics — Rollbar, Prowl, Steeljaw, Galvatron, High Octane Bumblebee, & Missile Blast Lockdown.
Wasn't certain which belonged to the new waves and which I'd seen before, so I only took pics of the ones that looked new to me. The whole assortment of the above waves were there as far as I remember.
