Toys
Hasbro
Age of Extinction
Age of Extinction toys fall under various banners. Under the movie banner itself, a "Robots in Disguise" line features the simpler toys for younger fans. The more intricate designs are actually a subset of the Generations line. There are also Age of Extinction toys under the Kre-O and Platinum Edition lines.

The individual-toy numbering of the Legends Class figures skips the numbers 11-17. The reason for this is unknown; however, the names of two more planned two-packs, "Brawn & Mudslinger" and "Gnaw & Gnash", were leaked to the public but were cancelled.

Mixable, Mashable Heroes!
Branded as Rescue Bots, presumably due to the Playskool connection, this line of Transformers-themed Mr. Potato Head toys is entirely unrelated to the rest of the line. Lotsa figures of Mr. Potato Head in different scales, dressing up as... Generation 1 characters, with Rescue Bots characters finally getting into the mix late into the line (and barely hitting US retail).

Numerous online retailers listed "AD18 Decepticon A" and "AD19 Autobot A" for preorder, but ultimately, nothing ever became of those listings. It can be assumed that whatever toys were planned ended up being canceled, leaving those ID numbers unused.
