First Images of One Step Turbo Changer Scorn and Cogman from Transformers: The Last Knight

It looks like the Premier Editions are the only toys with licensed vehicle modes, I don't see any Aston Martin info anywhere. Also, he seems to reuse the basic transformation of the... *counts* third and latest RiD Sideswipe one.

Not to mention all those blatant hack job brush strokes all over the armor. It's a total garbage paint job. It's shockingly bad actually.

I think that's the point.

He's supposed to be old, rusted, and decayed. The entire point is he looks damaged. Its intentional. This is also an extreme closeup. In reality the paint on the face should probably look fine to naked eye, disfigured sure, but that's the point.

It gets across the disfigurement he's suffered. He's not supposed to have a nice pristine face.

Then what is this giant western star logo doing on the back of this titan changer?

The tiny turbo changers also have a western star licence

I noticed that too.

Nice to have another One step dino though in the form of Scorn.

Strange that I've yet to see a single "Baby Dinobot" bit of merchandise - not even a stuffed one.

I was perplexed by how different Nitro is in the Movie the toy certainly IS Not a Saab Fighter jet like he seems to be in the Movie.

(If that is Nitro in the Movie).

hey rainmaker, you mention a card that connects to form a biger image for the mission to cybertron toys. Could you show us a picture of that card for both skullitron and megatron? I dont think we have ever seen it.

I don't have Megatron yet, but Skullitrons card piece is part of the word Transformers

Can you take a pic and show us what that looks like?

I can't because I've exchanged him already for Berserker

But I'm probably gonna get him again

Now that you have berserker, do you think it was a wise trade?

Also, Toysrus lets you return open boxes?

But that covers like 50% of the toys that should be based on licenced vehicles. Saying the premiere line is the only one with licenced vehicles becomes quite the hyperbole.

Plus we have no clue what Berserker is really supposed to be or even if he is in the film. So his one step could be just as legit as his deluxe if he doesnt exist.

Also, I am now wondering if Sqweeks has a mercedes trademark on all his premiere line stuff only because his cross sell is Drift
If he has a mercedes trademark on everything linked to him, but isnt a mercedes, does that make him still licenced?

Not really, I traded a bot with a good robot mode, annoying transformation and a mediocre alt mode for a bot with a good robot mode, annoying transformation and a mediocre alt mode

Also, yes

nor have we seen anything toywise for Onslaught, Dreadbot, Bulldog(WW1 Tank), Mohawk, WW2 Mercedes Bumblebee, WW2 Hot Rod(whatever his alt mode was back then?), Wreck-Gar(or whoever that 1920's Mecedes Benz Dump Truck is supposed to be?), the mysterious Amphion Class Submarine Transformer?, the red McLaren 570S Transformer? & Silver LeEco LeSEE Pro Concept?

I heard "rumors" that Dreadbot, Hooligan and some guy named Warpath (Who I assume is "Bulldog") would be getting only one steps.

Take it with a grain of salt though.

One of the main prerequisites of licensing is having the logo present on the toy itself, molded or otherwise. RiD 2001 Side Burn had the Dodge Viper logo tampoed on almost every version of the mold upon US release for instance. Coupled with the Mercedes info on Deluxe Class Sqweeks' packaging, that leads to a small amendment to my original statement.

Licensing info has to be exact, taking into account every single appearance, be it in physical form, or via images. It's the latter that creates some unusual occurrences:

- The Western Star and Chevrolet info on the Tiny Turbo Changers baggies is not just because of the toys themselves, rather Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are proudly displayed on them, plus more importantly their vehicle modes, logos and all. The individual instructions don't show that info unless the figure is either Optimus Prime or Bumblebee.
- Mercedes-Benz info on Sqweek's packaging? This is where vanity is kind of a bad thing, as their logo is prominently displayed on his cross sell Drift's chest in stock images.

To pull things back a bit, I still find it odd that the Turbo Changer Optimus Prime and Bumblebee toys all seem to be licensed, yet the rest of the range is not, even if the Premier Edition version is.

Mercedes licensing even appears in the back of Slug's box, and he doesn't turn into a vehicle


Just got and opened the Voyager Megatron.
And damn, I love this figure already. Articulation is great, transformation is fun and jet mode looks good too.

Many of those are falling victim to the desire to put some breathing space between TLK & Bee's Movie - but I wasn't so much thinking of the regular toys as much as the Baby Dinos seem to be designed to hype them as does Dragonstorm - so where are the baby Dino or Dragonstorm stuffed toys etc... If I was 8 I'd want a T-shirt with a Transforming dragon on it I expect.

So....what's the Cogman that's coming with a Titanmaster? i take it that's not the 1-Step?

Stuartmaximus wrote:So....what's the Cogman that's coming with a Titanmaster? i take it that's not the 1-Step?

Deluxe.

Ah, right, thanks

i've deffo an interest for that

I was struck by something I read in a review: the lack of paint on the new movie one step turbo changers makes them look less like retail products and more like prototypes.

I feel like a lot of the TLK have a cheap look, especially the one steps and legions. Do you guys think it's the same as previous movie lines or is it worse in this regard

I have to say, the paint standards on the TLK figures seems to have taken a nosedive. Sqweeks has those awful streakily-applied brown splodges on him (which were obviously supposed to be rust but look more like he fell into a silage tank), Steelbane has the most feeble attempt at an ink wash ever, and Skullitron (who's naming these guys?) has what's clearly supposed to be verdigris-riddled copper but instead just looks like he's been splattered with blue paint by a child. Even Prime has the really sloppy paint on his eyes. Gone it seems are the days of airbrushing and decent paintwork.

Hasbro, if you're reading this: There's more to weathering than taking brown and wiping it on the figure. Poor Sqweeks looks like he's been used as toilet paper.

Another couple of Chefatron videos for those that are interested : Voyager Hound :



Deluxe Hotrod :

Tried the look at the part between the spoiler and rear window took ten minutes in toys r us... But I did find the variant version of bumblebee

Black Hat wrote:Skullitron (who's naming these guys?)

The name sounds to me like they wanted to name him "Skeletron", but couldn't use that name and so went with a close-enough substitute.

TLK Deluxes are intentionally priced higher than TR Deluxes.

Walmart.com has them at 19.97 a piece, is that what they sell for in stores?

in my walmart, they sell for 15$/figure.

for some price comparisons for walmart, TR deluxes are $14.99, TLK deluxes $15.83; voyagers are $24.99 and $26.24 respectively

Youtuber Chefatron has a review of the Walmart exclusive Transformers: The Last Knight deluxe Hot Rod. It confirms that he indeed does not come with any weapons. This review is far from ideal though since the comparison of the robot mode to Lockdown's is done with Lockdown still in his box. Still, we have a great series of photos showing all comparisons to both toys if that is what you are seeking.

There is a bumblebee deluxe variant which has more black paint in the alt mode

https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... ion/38158/

And Maverick Prime sent us the video first through e-mail, which is our default channel of news submission, so he got the credit. We can only give a news credit to one person at a time.

Uh... wrong thread?

I didn't know about that Bumblebee variation - i;ll have to check to see which is the most Movie accurate (relatively speaking since it's the wrong body) but in general terms - it's interesting though as both of them are different to the AOE deluxe stripe pattern.

Also Just a little heads up there is a Knock off TLK Megatron Voyager out already - if buying one on eBay - check carefully.

unlicensed-products-news-thread-p1890427.php#p1890427

I'm saying this here for warning purposes and as NO ONE ever reads the KO threads so If I say it there no one would ever see it.

Wouldn't tlk wave 3 have been better if it had consisted of slug strafe slash aoe repaint bee Voyager grimlock and scorn.

And all the good stuff in waves 1 and 2 so we could already have wave 2 out

Thanks to Seibertronian AzT, we have a new sighting for the Mission to Cybertron 2-packs of legion class figures. The figures were found at a Toys R Us in San Diego, California and were retailing at $15.00. The 2-packs consisted of Optimus with Grimlock, and Megatron with Bumblebee. With the movie upon us like some vast predatory bird, the toys are sure to be hot, so keep looking out for the new figures, report your sightings, show off your new figures, and get movie hyped!

Remember those slightly blurry images of the first leak of The Last Knight's Infernocus combiner set? Courtesy of Toys "R" Us Singapore, we now have official stock images of the Infernocons and Quintessa! These images give us our first good look at the individual Infernocons that make up the beastly Infernocus. As a reminder, the limbs of Infernocus (Rupture, Thrash, Gorge, and Glug) are redecoes of the Prime: Beast Hunters Abominus limbs (Windrazor, Twinstrike, Blot, and Rippersnapper, respectively), while Hun-Gurr is replaced by the set's sole new mold, Skulk.









Additionally, we have new images of Cybertron (a luminescent redeco of Cybertron Primus that gives Generation 2 a run for it's money) as well from the same source, which can be viewed below.

Infernocus: looks amazing, instant buy on sight.

Primus: since when is a split in half planner with guns on the back a starship mode?

Dear God That set looks cool I love how they all look that were forged from the depths of a Volcano and look like Fire Demi-Gods the deco really reflects that it's so nice to see a good some good legion repaints after the flop that was TLK legion wave 1 not to discount Skulk in any way though. Skulk looks freaking awesome he looks like the Grim Reaper cross RID Twinferno cross Fire God But it does kinda suck he's got no alt mode

Infernocus: Indeed.

Primus: Since 2006.

He does, the torso. Its enough of an alt mode for most Power Ranger or Voltron toys. He just so happens not to be a triple changer unlike the others. But yeah I know what you mean.

in transformers fandom, a torso mdoe isn't considered as a real alt mode.
i honestly not too big on infernocus. i get the appeal and why many people would love him, just that it doesn't work that well on me. this combiner finally has a coherent color throughout, compared to the other variants, which is a good thing, and the fact that they give him new mold for the torso bot. but the fact that the torso bot don't have actual alt mode bummed me, especially when all the limb guys did. it just feels incomplete. therefore, i don't think i will pick him up.

but then again, i've been wrong many times before, and ended up picking up things that i said i won't, so, who knows.

Hasbro forgot to show the new torso bot´s alt mode...

Primus looks great in those colors. But the price blows. Nobody buy one so TRU puts him on clearance...

Rated X wrote:Hasbro forgot to show the new torso bot´s alt mode...

they don't he don't have alt mode to begin with, other than the torso mode.

just picked up berserker and he is awesome in robot mode. Mine appears to have stress marks on the shoulders right out of the box. I could be wrong and I'll try to get a pic up in the morning just wondering if this has happened with anyone else's copy.

Damn, the Throwback hit me in Unicron Triology

You can suspend disbelief and pretend all day long about anything you want it to be but nothing changes the fact that its a terrible paint job. Not just on the face but on the armor as well.That sloppy mess of a ham handed attempt at paint application destroys any of the details designed into the head sculpt with big fat blobs of green paint. At the price they're asking these days for these figures i'd expect a lot more effort into the details. It looks more like cheap dollar store knock off garbage.

He doesnt have an alt mode aside from becoming a torso.

What if the infernocus torso doesn't have an alt mode in the movie.

Bumblebee21 wrote:What if the infernocus torso doesn't have an alt mode in the movie.

I'm guessing none of the Infernocus members have alt-modes in the movie and that the toy's limbs only have them because they are just re-using the Prime: Beast Hunters Abominus limb molds. Just a guess though

One of the trailers shows Optimus fighting one big Infernocus whom Prime slices apart with his sword, and the five components then attack him together, but each of them just looks like a smaller-sized Infernocus.

Wow? No alt mode?

They repurposed the limbs and made an action master for a torso?

Just another example of how they will do anything to cut costs and increase profits.

Action Masters don't transform at all. Skulk at least transforms from robot to torso, with separate heads and configurations for each.

Granted, that doesn't make it GOOD, but he at least can do what Action Masters wish they could do.
