Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Bumblebee21, we have a first US sighting of two of the wave 2 deluxes for Transformers: The Last Knight - Sqweeks and Steelbane! TFW2005 user Hurleychris07 spotted the two Premier Edition Autobots in a Target store in Dumfries, Virginia, and you can see the photo proof below.

If you come across any toy sightings, make sure to use our database to ensure other collectors can find figures too - happy hunting!

Ohhhhh Steelbane looks cool I need pics of the alt mode though and from what I've seen of the TLK Slug repaint he looks pretty awesome. I like the TLK Dinobot decos WAY more the gaudy 90s look that the AOE Dinobots had (Other than Scorn who I'm still after) and I can't wait for TLK Scorn he looks Badass and Takara is gonna give him that screen accurate deco that makes me do a little Jigg

[Cobotron]

Oooooh, Steelbane is a Deluxe? Now why did I think he was a Voyager? Now I'm a little more interested than I already was. Space and all.

Are we getting a re-deco of him in the decode-a-glyph TRU exclusive series?

[DedicatedGhostArt]

I saw in some of the first images of Deluxe Barricade that he had no backpack. Is there an easy way to remove it and store it elsewhere?

As Skullitron, yes.

Lol I'm sorry, I don't check this thread that often.

I was mostly asking if there's a way to store it elsewhere. Maybe as a riot shield or something.

Always room for modding though. Could be fun.

Many of you are probably excited that the wave 2 deluxes for Transformers: The Last Knight have been found in the US today. And maybe some of you are wondering when they will come to your local store. Well, you no longer have to wait because these toys are also online on this very same day. Deluxe Steelbane, Drift, Slug and Sqweeks are all available at AJ's toy chest for $19.99.

Also you don't need to 'waste' the nightstick to attach it if you don't want to. Can click one part of the clip the roof joins onto the original car joints to the bottom of the Barricade's fist hole and use it that way. Options.

[DedicatedGhostArt]

Oh nice! Kinda scared though that removing the part off of Barricade too many times though could break the clear plastic for the transformation joint. Does it seem to tab onto the car mode well regardless of that joint? Cuz if it does, that could make me more comfortable about using this unofficial feature.

Also, Steelbane looks REALLY cool in his robot mode, but really weird in alt mode to me. I for one am not a person who likes buying a transformer for the sake of a good looking robot mode, and has a bad alt mode. Such as TR Alpha Trion...

I am if the robot mode is nice enough since that's the mode my figures spend possibly 99% of their time in. Is reason I bought Titans Galvatron cos I think his alt-modes are kinda crappy but the robot mode has potential.

[TFmonkeybiz]

Am waiting for them to price-reduce all them Grimlocks and then I'll buy one cos I already have the AoE version but I do like that new silvery deco.

I'm doing the same for the entire line, everything larger than a leigon seems overpriced compared to what I remember the previous lines costing.

The sensible part of my brain tried to do that but the eager movie-toy fan that I am just couldn't wait on some of them. And plus I want them to do well so we get more figures. A proper explanation from Hasbro about the price increase would be nice though.

[Kurona]

There's no danger of the movie toylines not continuing. They're the Michael Bay transformers movies; they rake in a ridiculous amount of money and they of course are going to get a supporting toyline every time which kids are always gonna snap up. They're gonna do well whether older fans get them or not.

If anything, I feel waiting on these till the sales will force Hasbro to go "oh, they're really not liking these prices, maybe we should reconsider making them so high". I'm a bit tired of this phrase, but vote with your wallet folks.

Not so much worried about not continuing but more about less effort and money put into developing the toys and the amount of the movie toyline's 'proper' figures shrinking more and more. But hey at least these ones are available in regular toy shops again here in the UK. That was not the case with Age of Extinction where the most stores sold just the simplified toys like one-steps and only places like Toys R Us sold the proper Deluxes and Voyagers (and only Argos I think had Leaders). With The Last Knight these size classes are back in all sorts of toy stores and supermarkets again and that's a great thing. Despite the price.

[BombshellDaBug]

I like to pretend Optimus don't have a sideways hoof for a mouth, so............. my hunt for it continues and I have to check for the mouth variant. Also, is anyone else find literal dozens of TLK voyager grimlocks?

Yeah, Grimlock was shelfwarming when I checked out the Forbidden Planet store in NYC. They had the Voyager Optimus with him too, but there was a lot more Grimlock. They had the One Step Turbo Changers too.

Excellent find, Will! I was able to get a hold of Steelbane because of this post! His dragon mode might not be great, but that robot mode looks AMAZING!

I have to admit, I'm kind of pleased with this line overall. Barricade, Grimlock, and the Legions have all been to my liking. Except for Berserker. I regret buying Berserker to the point where I might pawn him off to a friend of mine.

Finally found the tiny turbo changers on my retails here.

hound looks like a hatless gnome here.

also, the hole in tiny turbo changer's hands fits quite well with lego minifigure's accessories.

Ok I reckon I'm gonna be buying some lego guns and stuff then.

I'm having a similar problem. I really want the Deluxe Barricade and at least one of the Dinobots (since I missed them first time around). I'm with you on wanting more figures, especially more Decepticons.

I have no kre-os and i imagine lego weapons be easier to buy seperately without needing to buy actual lego sets and depriving those lego figures of their weapons?
