We are getting reports that the Age of Extinction Power Attackers Wave 2 has begun to show up at US retail. This assortment adds two more figures, Scorn and Drift, into the mix. They’ve been spotted at retail in a couple of places including at a Toys R Us in Lancaster PA by 2005 Boards member Soundblaster1, who sent us the picture attached to this story.
Nevermore
I saw Drift at German retail yesterday.

Where are these? Anybody else see these recently?

I see. That's….That's pretty bad. There isn't a Toys R Us near me. Oh well, internet shopping as per usual. Thanks for the info

Deluxes and voyagers are exclusive to Toys R Us (though it may be the case that not all the stores are stocking them), the leaders are exclusive to Argos, though they've yet to actually get them in stock online or in store.

Slightly off-topic, but not much…Here in the UK, i have despaired of finding any actual figures; that is to say, deluxes, voyages and the like, because the shelves are full of this kind of thing. Being polite, it is not meant for me.
Has it been similar for others? Any UK fans know when we might actually get the deluxes? When i first saw these i nearly bought them by mistake.

Hasbro has done the similarly styled dual lines since the Eevenge of the Sith toyline. Movie basics and saga legends figures had identical cards back then. At least AOE deluxes and these power battlers have different sized packaging (which has gone completely unnoticed by store employees based on the piss poor job they do at stocking the products on the right pegs).

I think if they really wanted to push the 'collector' value of the deluxe figures they should've boxed them the same as the voyagers and leaders and kept the Generations call-out sticker that was included on the samples at Toy Fair. As it is, there isn't much that really distinguishes RID from Generations other than the name of the gimmick on the RID lines.

I kind of like how Drift's legs try to attempt an accurate-ish transformation to get both sets of wheels on them, even if they're a little inelegant.

I think scorn and drift look pretty good in both modes with the exception of scorn's tail coming out of his chest
megatroptimus
Don't think he is. HTS has that wave in stock but Prime isn't there. No Prime on the pegs either as far as I can tell. Maybe wave 2.5 or 3?
Ellamin
Drift is actually nice for the alt mode, I wonder how he transforms and if there is much articulation for him…
Purple Heart
The Gimmick here is awesome… It's placements however… Just make it worth my money.
Chaos Muffin
I dunno , erectorblade optimus is pretty awesome. Even better if sword gimmick is pressed quickly 3 times in a row. MUST BUY!
Also like how Scorn's dinohead for a hand is an official look now.

They're out in Metro Atlanta. I work Electronics & Toys & set a new Transformers endcap (focal) with some of these. If you haven't seen it yet, check your local Target stores to see the two Primes & Grimlock that we have to set. Our store sets early, but it's a cool setup.

Gah! That OP!
Why does everything have to be phallic in AOE????
Fallout
the cartoony art on these is fucking cool. i loved crosshairs.
goldent
They're out in Florida (Orlando) too. I saw them at Target. Just didn't do anything for me.
Paxtin
I could even see many consumers writing off future lines.
Based on how similar the packaging is between these and the Deluxe figures, most casual buyers will probably buy this thinking they're getting something else.
Which part of me can't help but wonder if that was a misguided intention on Hasbro's part, cause hey, a sale's a sale.
RedAlert Rescue
Yep they do.
