The Transformers: Age of Extinction toyline coincides with the fourth film in Michael Bay's live-action film series.
Unlike the toy lines of the previous three films, this line is divided into two distinct series:
- "Robots in Disguise", a series of simpler, more gimmicky toys aimed towards younger children. Included in this series are the non-transforming Titan Heroes figures. In Japan, these were sold under the main "Lost Age Series" label.
- An Age of Extinction-specific version of Generations, featuring more complex and movie-accurate toys aimed towards older children and adult collectors. In Japan, toys from this line were sold under the "Movie Advanced Series" subtitle.
Toys
Robots in Disguise
One-Step Changers
One-Step Changers are smaller figures which, as the name suggests, can be transformed either direction in one step, more or less. Exactly how the transformation is accomplished varies from figure, ranging from Activator-style spring loading to Automorph-type gearing/levering.
Wave 1
Wave 1.5
Wave 2
Wave 3
Stinger was revealed at Toy Fair 2014 as part of the mass-retail One-Step Changer assortment, and online retailers listed Stinger in Wave 3 cases. However, Hasbro's BotCon 2014 presentation would subsequently describe the following wave as the third, with no sign of Stinger. Shortly afterwards, Stinger appeared at US Target stores... sporting a 'Walmart Exclusive' sticker! It seems that Stinger was made store-exclusive in a last-minute decision, but some stock, now stickered appropriately, was nevertheless shipped for mass retail per the original plans. In addition, Stinger was also available as a Walmart exclusive in Canada and at general retail in Germany.
Wave 4
- Autobot Drift (helicopter)
- Galvatron
- High Octane Bumblebee
- Dinobot Slug
- Steeljaw
Wave 5
Mega One-Step
The European version is named "Mega Flip Bumblebee".
Electronic Chomp & Stomp
Power Battlers
Spiritual successors to the Fast Action Battlers, Power Attackers are Deluxe-sized figures with basic transformations and a 'battling' action feature in robot mode. They are also commonly referred to as "Power Attackers", presumably an older working name that got changed very late in the game so it appears just as frequently as the final name.
Wave 1
- Bumblebee (Power Punch!)
- Crosshairs (Power Punch!)
- Autobot Hound (Quick Draw!)
- Dinobot Strafe (Spin Attack!)
Wave 2
- Autobot Drift (Sword Slash!)
- Dinobot Scorn (Tail Whip!)
Wave 2.5
- Optimus Prime (Blade Strike!)
Wave 3
- Dinobot Slug (Smash and Slash!)
- Dinobot Snarl (Hammer Strike!)
- Galvatron (Spinning Grinder!)
- Grimlock (Spinning Mace!)
- Lockdown (Missile Blast!)
Wave 4
- High Octane Bumblebee (Cannon Blast!)
- Junkheap (Claw Crush!)
- Vehicon (Chainsaw Thrash!)
Dino Sparkers
Dino Sparkers each include non-transforming static figures of a Dinobot and a rider. The Dinobot is cast in translucent plastic, and features a pull-back-and-go motor with a sparking gimmick, a gimmick not seen in the line since 1988.
- Optimus Prime with Grimlock
- Bumblebee with Dinobot Strafe
- Autobot Drift with Dinobot Slug
Reports from Toy Fair 2014 suggested the existence of a fourth Dino Sparkers toy featuring Lockdown, corroborated by a previously leaked[1] listing for a 'Lockdown & Wolf' toy. Ultimately, this product was never officially revealed or solicited.
Flip & Change/Smash & Change
This assortment of larger figures focuses, like One-Step Changers, on simple transformations. All but the first wave's Optimus Prime use a form of autotransformation that has one flip the figure over itself.
Wave 1
- Grimlock (Flip)
- Optimus Prime (Smash)
Wave 2
Wave 3
- Drift (Flip)
Titan Heroes
Like previous toys under the 'Titan' branding, Titan Heroes are 12 inch tall action figures with a basic five points of articulation.
Wave 1
Wave 2
Titan Guardians
Much like the Titan Hero assortment, but with a larger 16 inch height.
Generations (Series M4)
With Hasbro's renewed focus on simpler toys for children, the "traditional" Deluxe, Voyager and Leader Class assortments were explicitly split off under the Generations banner, receiving a much reduced focus in marketing and even being entirely store exclusive in the United Kingdom and Germany (Deluxe and Voyager at Toys"R"Us, and Leader at Argos and Rossmann drug stores, respectively).
Deluxe Class
Wave 1
- 001 High Octane Bumblebee
- 002 Crosshairs
- 003 Dinobot Slug
- 004 Scorn
Wave 2
- 005 Strafe
- 006 Autobot Drift
- 007 Dinobot Slash
Wave 2.5
- 008 Lockdown
Wave 3
- 009 Bumblebee

A leaked[1] listing suggests that Hasbro initially intended to release new-sculpt Legion versions of the aforementioned characters as well as "Duke" (Autobot Hound) and "Max" (Lockdown), who never got Legion figures, but at one point it was apparently decided to cancel the new figures and instead release redecoes of older figures as the Age of Extinction characters instead.

Notes
- The Power Battlers toys themselves are not identified by that name on their packaging; however, the name "Power Battlers" is referenced (with a ™ trademark claim) on the back of Stomp & Chomp Grimlock's packaging. It also appeared on the placards at BotCon 2014 and San Diego Comic-Con 2014. Hasbro's public website, on the other hand, used the name "Power Attacker" for the individual toys' listings, as did the Hasbro Toy Shop website, which shares its database with Hasbro's main website. The name "Power Battlers" only appeared on the Hasbro website once, as part of a press release, and on the Hasbro Toy Shop website as the name of the category for the toys in question. Other online retailers were a mixed bag; for example, BigBadToyStore had the toys listed as "Power Battlers" but then used official product description blurbs that referred to them as "Power Attackers", whereas Amazon did the exact opposite. Meanwhile, Entertainment Earth exclusively used the name "Power Battlers", whereas major US-based retailers such as Toys"R"Us (including its UK subsidiary), Walmart, Target and Kmart exclusively used the name "Power Attacker". Other UK retailers were also a mixed bag: Asda, Very, Smyths, the UK subsidiary of Amazon and various smaller online retailers used "Power Battler", whereas Argos used "Power Attackers". Furthermore, German retailers identified them as "Deluxe Attackers" across the board. So basically, it's the same problem that previously affected the "Legends of Cybertron" aka "Cybertron All Stars" aka "Cybertron Micro Series" figures and the "Construct-Bots" aka "Construct-A-Bots".
- All of the Age of Extinction Generations Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader class figures feature at least one small hexagonal port on the back of their torso or pelvis. While its function is not explicitly mentioned in either the instructions or packaging materials for the toy, it has been deduced that the purpose of these ports is to make the figure compatible with Bandai/Tamashii "flight stands".[2] Considering that the stand design is owned by another company, it's likely that this feature went unmentioned simply to avoid trademark conflicts.
- Various toys released concurrently with the Age of Extinction figures were available in packaging based on the general Age of Extinction design template, but lacking the Age of Extinction logo. See Transformers (2014 toyline) for more details.
