In Hand Images of Transformers: The Last Knight Valvoline Valvotron Figure

Primus, I hope it doesn't transform because that soft plastic looks like it would be torn apart in the attempt. Did they use recycled Valvoline bottles?

All hail, valvotron!

Not only does it not transform but it doesnt even articulate much.

I'm still waiting for Vulvatron

Guess I was right about him being an Action Master. Even he doesn't transform into a gas canister, he definitely comes in one

Lol! It's his pretender shell!

Doesnt that make him more of a pretender then?

More like a Kinder Surprise Egg

I feel like this'll be a super easy figure to just buy off eBay for cheap. Giving away 5,000 of these as a prize is a pretty ridiculous number on its own, but then to give away more on top of that (probably quite a few more than the initial 5,000 since you can get two) with purchase means there'll be a ton of these out there. Can't imagine they'll all end up with kids and collectors initially, many of these are bound for eBay.

Ach dammit it can't transform


I wouldn't have minded a novelty figure that could transform into a container of oil

I wanted it till I figured out you can't transform it. Would have been neat if you could transform him into a bottle of valvoline and back. Seems to me this is a toy I'd want to keep in the package, and what is the point of a toy I can't play with? I know there are a lot of NIB collectors but I am not one of them. I like to open my toys, transform them and experience them.

Me too, especially Transformers since you need to open the package to experience the conversion, the essence of the toy.

But this isnt a toy you can play with, or pose. Its more of a collectable or like something from a souvenire shop.

While we thought the US would get all the Valvotron/Valvoline fun, it turns out Canada can join in on it too. They even made a French website to cater to Quebec and all it's language laws. Thats some nice effort. Below are images of what needs to be purchased to be eligible for the free figure (4.73 litres of synthetic oil) along with the 2 websites to go to depending on your language.

Canada English: http://valvoline.promo.eprize.com/valvo ... cale=en_CA

Canada French: http://valvoline.promo.eprize.com/valvo ... cale=fr_CA

EBay seller sertile has sent us more images of Valvotron from their listing. These pictures help us to see what the figure will look like from every angle. We can also see that this little fella is sporting some pretty cool shades! This figure is from a giveaway done by Valvoline oil.

Also if you are in Canada, a Valvorton giveaway has been made available!

Exactly what does he transform into again?

He doesn't actually transform, but based on the kibble he would transform into one these:

Disappointment

Came home Tuesday to find Valvotron waiting for me and was like cool I got one. Came home today and there was another one. Did this happen to anyone else? Maybe they didn't get enough entries?

Could you upload some photos and let us know how you entered for the figure? We'd like to make a news post!

Didn't get one 3 days in a row. Entered using the 3 × 5 index card. One per household.

A number of Seibertronians, including Ravage2031 below, have been notifying us about the Valvoline tie-in product for Transformers: The Last Knight - the mighty, non-transforming Valvotron - arriving in the post! The delivery seems fairly erratic though, as there were many ways to apply for one, and multiple appear to show up per household even where the limit was one. Check it out below!

Good Day My Fellow

I just received in the mail to my Transformers The Last Knight Valvotron for the promotion from Valvoline. Placed my rebate on 5/1/2017 so it took 2 1/2 months to receive it. I have taken some pictures of what the figure looks like in its white Valvoline shipping box, the figure and the exclusive Autobot and Valvoline stickers. For those that were hoping for a transformable robot to bottle of oil figure your dreams are dashed. Its just a block bot. Is it worth the $25.00 bucks for the synthetic oil to get this figure well I guess that all up to you.Enjoy.


KRAPICON

The Valvoline campaign had a few differences in Canada where everyday one would have a digital scratch off to see if they won. Well, many did and the prizes are finally being shipped out. The prizes included lunchboxes, shirts, subway gift cards and Racecar driver bobble-heads. Images of some of these prizes (won by yours truly) can be found below. Valvotron himself has yet to be received by anyone in Canada but it should be any day now.

So America got Valvatron and Canada got a bobble head of some random race car driver? And I thought we had it bad lol...

Jesus Christ that bobblehead is some cursed idol sh!t right there aaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

We will probably be getting valvotron too, he just hasnt reached us yet.

Dang, you guys got a Jimmie Johnson bobblehead??? That is more depressing than anything else

By the way, D-Max, speaking of getting stuff in the mail I have a sneaking suspicion we are in for a fun toy haul post from you soon

He drives the racecar that DotM Topspin used, #48. He is an incredible racecar driver, tied for the most NASCAR championships of all time, and he is the only one to have won 5 in a row. But I really hate him, always have. Sort of softened up some after Jeff Gordon retired, but still don't like him.

At least you didn't get Joey Logano. I would have driven to Canada to personally destroy that.

What makes you hate those guys?

Also, thanks for the tidbit, I guess this is slightly TF related after all.

Arrogant shmuck who way too often got lucky. And there tended to be a favoritism showed towards him. And he whined. A lot.

Joey is just that but worse. incredibly whiny, tends to drive a little dirty, even uses his dad to help settle on track feuds.

I'm a fan of the sport, hence live action movie Wreckers love from me.

So he's Sam Witwicky mixed with Bumblebee

Valvoline had an officially licensed Transformers lunchbox available as a prize in a points related contest in the US.

It turns out that this same lunchbox has been sent to Canadian fans who claimed the Valvotron toy and they have been starting to arrive. Below is an image of the lunchbox to give a sense of how big it is.
