« Age of Extinction »

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
Wave 4 Wave 5 Mega One-Step Electronic Stomp & Chomp


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 Wave 2 Wave 2.5 Wave 3
Wave 4


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.

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 Wave 2 Wave 3


Titan Heroes & Guardians

Like previous toys under the 'Titan' branding, Titan Heroes are 12-inch tall, non-transforming action figures with a basic five points of articulation. The Titan Guardian assortment is basically the same thing, but with a larger 16-inch height.

Titan Heroes Wave 1 Titan Heroes Wave 2 Titan Guardians


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).

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.
