I really want to see a 3p accessory that utilizes the multitude of ports to give him his movie rear, and possibly even a roof-mounted turret. Or you know, an actual back piece for vehicle mode.

Articulation in video review I stopped waste of my time to see articulation on figure good figure maybe one of best hound figures in movie version we have

The recent news of the series 2 Tiny Turbo Changers brought to light some older toys we had seen at Toy Fair. We are lucky here at Seibertron that the site owner had been so diligent with the images because these show without a doubt that it is Hot Rod we are getting, since we see his alt mode clearly on the show floor. We also see Cogman's alt mode and Sqweek's alt mode, which is great since his Turbo Changer figure looked like it wouldn't transform.

So without further ado, here are the robot modes for the figures followed by images of them on the show floor so you can now mix and match them to get a more rounded look at the figures in both modes and confirm who they are.

It looks like the Barricade tiny turbo changer has his chaingun wristband stored on the back of his vehicle like the deluxe figure!

(Look to the left of Shockwave)

[Bronzewolf]

Does that mean this is Cogman?


Very similar to that rumored one step, if so.

[william-james88]

Thats soundwave.

[Sabrblade]

I'm getting a strong GoBots Scooter vibe from Sqweeks's eyed vehicle mode, but only from that mode of that toy.

Interesting, I wish that Grimlock was 1 inch taller, instead of that repaint from abominus... that squeeker, I must have it, pass on the rest

I'm a little more surprised they didn't repaint RID Legion Grimlock into TLK Grimlock.

TTC Shockwave seems to have changed slightly since Toy Fair. At TF he had symmetric arm canons, but the scanned image shows he has a different shaped gray gun on his left arm now.

Possible his left arm at TF is just another right arm on backwards. Legs look different, but probably just on backwards. Love that they painted his face, he's one to get for sure.

Well shoot, I was hoping I could pass on Hound but that removable helmet really won me over. I hope he won't have as many balance issues as the one in the review, but honestly John Goodman made him the only one of the new AoE Autobots I enjoyed, so I'd like him on my shelf next to Prime and Bee (and hopefully Hot Rod).

Via the Toys'R'Us stores of Matteson and Niles in Illinois, we have the sighting of Turbo Changer Knight Armor Megatron from the Transformers The Last Knight toyline! The image mirrore below is courtesy of fellow fansite TFormers user Dah Padre, and featured the berserker looking mask for the Decepticon leader. Check it out!

As always, make sure to use our Sightings Database to flag up any new (or old) toys you come across on your hunts and trips.

Also from the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline, but for the more interactive, kid-friendly side of things, we have some stock photography for two versions of Optimus Prime in the Allspark Tech Starter set, featuring one of the figures, a cube and a cube charger! Check it out below, including a tweaked translation from the Swiss German description on Spielplanet.ch.

Transformers Allspark Starter Set, Movie 5, 1 Figure, Charging Cable and Tech Cube, from 6+.
When the cube is placed in the figure, more than 15 lights and sounds are activated. The cube detects whether the figure is in robot or vehicle mode. The cube also supplies other Allspark Tech figures with energy.

[Kurona]

Huh, are they bringing the Allspark back into the plot? Would be strange to base a toy's gimmick around a plot point from ten years ago.

[-Kanrabat-]

Those All-Spark Optimuses look neat. Looking forward to see some in hands pictures and reviews.

[Autobot N]

I require that TTC Cogman.

[Sabrblade]

Remember that weird-looking redeco of DOTM Voyager Optimus Prime we saw in an Argos catalog that everyone kept arguing over whether or not it was a KO? Well, this guy went and got himself an Argos booklet that had a much better look at that Optimus figure.

That is no KO, as it is most definitely a Hasbro stock render of both modes:

[Bumblebee21]

i retract all statements said about the dinobots being the worst repaints

[SureShot18]

I guess those two Primes took being one with the Allspark to a whole new level.

Ha ha ha.

I'll see myself out.

[-Kanrabat-]

Voyager DOTM Optimus, Red edition.

...

...why?

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

I thought they tried that Allspark tech gimmick on Megatron in the first movie. . .

If you want a specific Tiny Turbo Changer there are some tips and tricks to finding the one you want. If feeling the bag and looking through the small window in the back bottom corner won't work for you there is a solution. We are aware that some toys are similarly colored and some people are unable to see color. You can tell what the toy will by looking at the embossed letter on the back of the packaging. The image below will show you where to look.



Now from here we reference Transformers fan Robert Hardin, whom has cracked the code.

I have cracked the code!
I’ve been doing some online research on these Tiny Turbo Changers blind bags trying to see what bag has which character. The forums haven’t been helpful, many saying there aren’t codes anymore due to anti-gambling laws! This simply is not true, because I found individual letter codes on each package near the small window (which also gives you a hint). The codes are:
A – Grimlock gold
B – Grimlock black
C – Lockdown
D – Hound
E – Bee yellow
F – Crosshairs
G – Blackout
H – Soundwave
J – Starscream
K – Sideswipe
L – Bee black
! – Prime
Yes, Prime seems to be an exclamation point. Happy hunting!

If you would like to see what some of the Tiny Turbo Changers look like outside of their blind bags, check out this article.

When sifting through to find the ones i wanted(using this identification letter code system) i'm sure that i spotted one with an S on it, i never got it so i dunno what figure it could possibly be?

Was it from the same series and were you able to see what color it was through the small clear square?

[ebo716]

if you can get them to balance correctly, you can give the turbo changers aoe hound's guns

Nah it prob wasn't an S, but it looked like an S, some of those letters are kinda hard to make out & some are misprinted &/or messed up that you can't make out what they are

TFW2005 has posted confirmation that portions of wave two of Transformers The Last Knight toys have been seen at a Toys R Us in the Philippines. The toys found include the wave 2 legion class figures as well as the wave 2 one step changers. Check out the provided photo of one step Beserker on the pegs!
