Age of Extinction toys are here!

Synopsis

Part 1

Rattrap, Silverbolt, and Rhinox get together to talk about the Age of Extinction toys they got at the Transformers Celebration 2014. Silverbolt is first up with his Leader Class Optimus Prime, which he thinks is super cool, but to his annoyance, the other two crack jokes about its "backpack", commenting that it looks like he's a little kid going to school or that he's going to the mountains to cut grass.

Part 2

Rhinox goes next, drooling over his Classic Optimus Prime and its truck mode's accuracy to the original Optimus. He only likes the vehicle mode, however, and gets extremely upset when Silverbolt transforms the toy into its movie-based robot mode and has it ride on Grimlock.

Part 3

Rattrap wants to talk about his Dinobot toys, starting with Grimlock. On seeing his robot mode, Silverbolt wonders what the thing he's holding is supposed to be, and Rattrap figures it's a mechanical version of the stereotypical cartoon meat-on-a-bone. After Rhinox tells them it's a club, a surprised Rattrap jokes that Scorn also looks surprised in his packaging.

Part 4

Rattrap's Slug also confuses Silverbolt with its weapons, as it looks like he's been skewered when his swords are attached in dinosaur mode. Rhinox jokes that he's about to be spit-roasted, and that when he's done, he'll be Grimlock's weapon. In the end, the three end up talking too much about food and grow really hungry, while Optimus Primal wonders what the heck they're doing.

Notes

• Silverbolt refers to their business as "Ark Trading Company" instead of "Axalon" for some reason.
• Rattrap pretends Grimlock is saying "daa", a reference to Animated Grimlock's speech quirk in Japanese dub of the Animated cartoon. This speech pattern originated with the Japanese dub of Dinobot, and was carried over to Grimlock because they were both voiced by Keiji Fujiwara.
• Rattrap's comment about going to the mountains to cut grass is a reference to the Japanese folk tale of Momotarō.
