Vehicon and Junkheap look pretty cool. May get them if just to have more AoE Decepticons.
But it all comes down to whether the figures are any good. Though, considering it's Power Battlers, I'm not holding out hope.

 

Holy Scrap, did I actually see something in Mansfield Ohio.. on a peg.. before it got on TFW2005?

Clutches chest
I'm coming Elizabeth! I'm coming!

Ohh wait, it was just the one step changer.

Never mind

 

I want three of those vehicons. Insta-bought if I find them. I'm not a fan of PBs but that one just looks good.

 

I am weirdly compelled to buy that Junkheap. I never buy Decepticons, and I haven't bothered with any of the Power Battlers, but...he looks awesome.

So now that these guys are on the way, are we still going to see the Rollbar/Prowl One-Step Changer wave or is this it for AoE?

 

I wish Junkheap got a voyager too, instead of just this. But I'll take what I can get.

 

I don't like the spring-loaded crap for kids. Even Gobots are preferable; much easier to change and less chance of a spring stubbornly popping the toy out of alt form constantly (I'm spitting at you, Botshots!   ).

That was either gratuitous or humorous. I guess I couldn't tell.  

With Hasbro, it's a complete guess as to what will appear on shelves as compared to what you see in trade shows and online previews. There's a good chance these, or the ones you mentioned, will get skipped over entirely (by B&M stores, I mean; eBay and online retailers are always safe). If you ask me, the problem is too much product too quickly. If only Hasbro could somehow create case assortments that featured 2-3 waves, rather than sit idly by as we (the customers) get frustrated trying to find toy X on store shelves. It's one thing if I didn't get to Target in time, and it's sold out; it's another thing when the same set of toys have been sitting on shelves for months, with ZERO chance of the new wave appearing. Things were better back in the days when stores could send back unsold inventory and get fresh stock.

I know, "off topic", but 'tis the season to voice holiday shopping concerns!  

You're a Hasbro fan!     (But seriously, the wise man says that life is full of compromises!  )

 

Wat? You have no idea what I'm saying. I love the movie figures for the most part. I just don't like these gimmicky toys that they decided were gonna make up 80% of their AoE toylines instead of regular transforming figures that are somewhat movie accurate.

And people seem to agree with me, because every single toy store I've been to has a SHITLOAD of these, titans, one-step changers, flip-and-change, etc, and none of the generations movie figures which used to make up the bulk of any TF line.

 

You could say that about almost all of the Decepticon Power Battlers in this line. :/

 

Yeah, I am! I figure yelling about it isn't going to get anywhere, since he's not coming, so I think I'm just going to have to settle. But I still love Hasbro. 

 

Me to

 

OK, that Vehicon is literally the most badass AOE toy. Regardless if it's a Powerbattler or not, I am so buying!

 

Junkheap and the Vehicon are great designs. Wish we got regular filler characters in the standard deluxe line like these.

 

Vehicon would have been nice if he had been created in the Generations line. Design looks great.

 

Bumblebee looks cool. I wish his deluxe toy had those proportions
