Images of JADA Diecast 1:32 and 1:62 scale Cars from Transformers: The Last Knight

1:24 is Alternator/Binaltech size
1:32 is Alternity/GT size
1:64 is Hot Wheels size?

I guess so.

Just ordered the Bumblebee. Considering Op or Barricade, but I'll see how I like this one first.

Maybe it's because I have always been a car enthusiast, but I am really not a fan of the ricer look of the cars from the last few movies.

I don't see it as a ricer look. Maybe because the mods are well done and look good on the cars? And it's not like they threw a wing and a splitter on a '01 Corolla or anything. They're top of the line Corvettes and Camaros, I think that helps for me at least.

EDIT: Plus, you've got a stock DB-11, Mclaren, and Centenario in TLK, so I suppose that's progress. (AND an old Citroën!)

What does a ricer look mean?

More and more random merchandise for The Last Knight continues to come out as we near the movie's release date, including oddly enough some fancy-looking jewellery! Walmart is selling - exclusively to stores - a Hot Rod necklace and an Autobot/Decepticon symbol pendant for fans brave enough to wear them to a formal event. Check out the links, the images below and tell us on the forums if you spot these in Walmart!

Well, what do you know, new merchandise for Sideways.

That Bot/Con has the G1 style symbols instead of the normal movie ones.

A shame they didnt make individual faction symbols instead of that hideous half and half symbol. I got the silver ones that bbts sold a couple years back. Those were dope.

A "Ricer" is an owner of an overly-modified cheap (normally an import) car. Think "Seventeen year old who wants to turn their beater into a Fast and Furious car". Lots of unnecessary wings, body kits and undercarriage lighting. Now this is not to say that all cars with wings/body kits/undercarriage lighting etc. are Ricers; Obviously when those mods are applied to a car that's of quality/actually meant to go fast, when the mods are applied correctly and fit the car (as most ricer mods are DIY jobs that look awful), and when they serve a genuine purpose other than to look cool, it's justified. From this "up for interpretation" definition comes our current debate. I can see where 'jam is coming from, but I just don't see (mainly Crosshairs and Bee) as looking Riced.

Don't talk to me about cars, man. I'll end up writing essays.

"Ricer"?

That made my day lol !

I grew up with the lowrider crowd so I always found the performance import crowd to be funny as hell. We used to joke about the wings on their trunks make the cars look like shopping carts.

We also have news of some new merchandise appearing on Chinese online retailer Mtime, officially licensed and produced for Transformers: The Last Knight, and featuring caps, hats, cups, mugs, phone holders and cases, t-shirts, and a tire speaker. Check them all out below!

Mugs are I buy nice but phone cases are waste of money two four years new phone will be out with same bendable metal backing aluminum is soft you can bend with your bare hands those cases will not be fit new phones no longer phone cases be worth it if phones didn't keep bigger and bigger for people who have terrible eye sight that they need big phone size of tablet sticks out back pocket for easy taking for pick pocket to steal

Those hats are sweet but the shiny-ness is a little too gaudy for me.

Italian online retailer EMP also has listed a number of officially licensed Transformers and Transformers: The Last Knight merchandise items, from caps to rings to t-shirts, mugs and posters, in occasion of the fifth film's release next week. Check out below some of the merch, and head here for more!

Seibertronian Carytheone recently took a trip to his local Walmart, where he found some new characters inspired by The Last Knight, as well as a giant Optimus Prime Standup! The characters include Optimus, Bumblebee, and Sqweeks. There don't seem to be any more Autobot characters, neither any 'Cons to cuddle with, but you can buy your own piece of Pillow TLK for $12.96. Here are the picture Cary sent along.

I'm finding myself wanting that Bee mug and Sqweeks pillow...

Those pillows are pure creep, more so on the screen then in person. Well at least now I won't have to engage in pillow talk before sitting on Bee's face



Yeah, no thanks Walmart

Jada Diecast has unveiled an additional model car inspired by the cars featured in Transformers: The Last Knight. While we've already seen cars like Barricade, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee, the lastest character to be featured is Hot Rod! He's a 1:24 Scale Model, with an opening hood, trunk and doors. He's going to be a Walmart Exclusive and will, as with the other models, come with a collector coin.

Dang it. The last thing I need is that Lamborghini sitting on my desk.

I hope Hot Rod is one of the future Masterpiece Movie Series figures..!!!!

Bronzewolf wrote:

Wait wait... just "Hot Rod"? No "Autobot"?

Those pillows are pretty damn nice.

And the Hot Rod car model is gorgeous too. Yeah a Masterpiece figure would be cool but they've only just barely started those and so even if they continue that subline extensively he's probably not a priority as such when so many other popular characters were in the earlier films. If only they could do those as often as regular figures but hey.

There is a severe and very distressing lack of Megatron plushies and pillow friends.

The short legs on those pillows make me think of:


I usually like plush toys but I think I would have nightmares if I kept one of those anyplace near my bed/couch. Why can't they make plush that don't look scary?

Maybe model cars have different trademarking rules from action figures.

Plus, y'know, Hot Rod is an adjective for an actual car. On paper, "Lamborghini Centenario Hot Rod" totally could mean it's tricked out with a flame paint job and giant silver exhausts on the side- hey WAITAMINUTE!

I'd snap up a Movie Masterpiece Ratchet in a heartbeat. Wow, I never thought about that possibility before.

The 'robot on chassis' looks weird, but those die-cast cars look good overall.

Fans have been wondering where they could buy the die cast cars from Jada for their Transformers: the Last Knight line. These will probably be available at Walmart and Toysrus but you don't have to wait since they are all being sold on e-bay stores right now. They aren't aggregious aftermarket prices either, just standard retail prices which could save you some gas and time. You will find all the non exclusive cars in the 1/32, 1/24, and 1/64 scales, which include Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Barricade and Crosshairs. Since Hot Rod is a walmart exclusive, he isn't as reidily available and can only be found in select auctions. Hopefully this helps!

Please note that due to my Canadian e-bay settings, the prices below are in $CDN and show shipping to Canada. Click the image below to see the prices configurated to your location.

Thanks to Scottimus Prime, we have word that the new Transformers: The Last Knight stickers have reached retail! These particular stickers were found at a Walmart in Centereach Long Island, New York, and they feature Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Hot Rod, Megatron, and Sqweeks! While no price was provided, the small booklet of stickers were meant to retail around $1.98, so look for a price around that area. So head on out and check out your local stores, and this week be especially hot, as the movie is now hitting the big screens!

Itunes has added a sticker pack for iPhone users. The app is designed for iPhone and iPad. From the screenshot we can see some of the stickers in the pack are characters from the upcoming film, Transformers The Last Knight. Some of these stickers are also animated, how cool is that?

Featuring all your favorites, these stickers can be added to your messages to turn any boring conversation into an action-packed thrill ride!

Remember back a bit ago when we reported on the new shirts and sleepwear that were coming to Walmart, and one of the shirts was found? Well, now we have several new sightings for more Transformers: The Last Knight merchandise!

The first comes to us from yours truly, who discovered the rest of the shirts in a Transformers display this morning. You can see their stock images by following the above story link.

Up next is a sighting from Scottimus Prime, who found new Transformers Beach Towels for $8.94 at the Walmart in East Setauket, New York.

And Finally, we have some new Hot Rod costumes that have come to our attention, courtesy of Walmart.com. The costumes use 2 different design styles for Hot Rod, along with some gloves to go with said costumes.

Check out all the images below, and get your movie hype on!

Thanks to Seibertronian itscramtastic, we have word that Build-a-Bear is offering even more merchandise for the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight movie, this time in the form of a Build-a-Bear movie poster! The poster features the Build-a-Bear Prime and Bee, and is available for a limited time in Build-a-Bear's for free while supplies last! So head on out and build a bear and get your poster now!

I was oddly in that shop for the first time ever today cos I noticed the Prime and Bee bears so went in and ended up having a nice conversation with a pretty girl who works there, only interrupted when friends of hers came in with a baby... I can't compete with a baby...I'm just not cute enough.

should've made a prime bear and given it to her!

Dammit, that might have worked since she did bring up that she really likes the movies and was keen to see TLK soon. I would have happily watched the film a 2nd time as a date too. :O

Go back. If she's there, do it. Ask her out on a movie date. see it again.

If she's not, make the bear, walk by again later like in a day or a few and see if she's there and try that.

This plan would require me to have much more spare cash than I tend to have. Seeing as how that shop is Cambridge (where the cinema is) so that's £6.70 per day I go there on the off chance she's there. And the bear is £24. And the movie is about £10 per ticket (and as a gentlemen I'd be paying for both tickets) and again gentlemenly pay for meal.

Dating is expensive but that's no secret, eh?

Build-A-Date sounds like a profitable venture in itself though.

You're telling me! i pay less for the transformers stuff i pick up from stores after the date than I do for the actual date dinner!

Come to think of it, I may be near a build-a-bear next weekend. Maybe I can take a peek and see if they have some bee's there...

The little voice boxes you put in the bears are neat though. I kinda wanted to just buy the Optimus Prime one just on it's own with no bear since it sounds like that's Cullen's voice saying some phrases and such. I have no idea who voices the Bee one. It sounded like a proper voice tather then radio samples and it didn't sound much like his TLK voice (which I presume is Mark Ryan? I didn't see enough of the credits).

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Ironhidensh, we have the first global sighting of the exclusive Hot Rod die cast car from Jada's Transformers: The Last Knight line of cars. He found it at Walmart, of course, the exclusive retailer. It also comes with a collectable 100% metal coin. There are two other smaller scales of Hot Rod offered in this line and they are all exclusive to Walmart. For those unaware, these are licenced non transforming cars. Will any of you be getting this?

Thanks to Argos, we have a new reveal for the retailer exclusive 'Reveal The Shield' subline of The Last Knight: Roleplay masks! The masks, seemingly recolors of earlier masks from Transformers: Prime, use the red eyes to decode the Tech Spec-like markings on Reveal The Shield toys, revealing hidden messages! Check out the stock images below, along with a TFW sighting of Reveal The Shield voyager Optimus Prime in Taiwan, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Now I want a 100% movie accurate non-transforming robot figure to go with it.

That will probabl happen, but it might cost you one of your kidneys looking at how much the others go for.

Seibertronian and Youtuber CdogCdog4 has taken the time to do some reviews about the new Jada Diecast Transformers: The Last Knight Vehicles. These are now appearing at Walmarts all across the US, both the exclusive Hot Rod and the non exclusive others, like the ones being reviewed. CdogCdog4 reviews both Bumblebee and Optimus in the 1:24 scale, the largest of three scales you can get these cars. Enjoy!

CdogCdog4 wrote:Here's my video review of Transformers The Last Knight Jada Toys Diecast 1:24 scale Optimus Prime and Bumblebee vehicles, i show off some comparisons, Sam & Mikaela Human Alliance figures driving Bumblebee & how they fit in Optimus, a good look at the vehicles in packaging, how to take them OUT of packaging, all 4 sides once freed from their prison, and the (secret) robot modes underneath. Check it all out here!

I really like these, makes me miss the Human Alliance line. I knew that Optimus looked too small to be 1:24 scale.

To be fair, while the Human Alliance bots were supposedly 1:24 scale, the humans were not.

Yea it's unfortunate that Jada doesn't seem to be able to get scale down like the Japanese seem to be able to do (ar least when it's titled as such). But I guess at least the cars are? And Prime still looks great. I already sscrewed all 8 screws back into the bottom of him to put them back in packaging which you have to take apart at every corner, and practically flatten the box, to get him out. It's amazing I got them back in looming brand new they display better that way imo.

Finally i have Optimus prime's head!
