In-Hand Images and Video of Transformers: The Last Knight Voyager Hound and Megatron

Kokomo...

KOKOMO???

My home town got Transformers??? When I lived there, my Target never got the second half of Thrilling 30 and missed out on Combiner Wars ENTIRELY!

Even though I may not be the biggest admirer of the Bayformer universe I gotta admit, these toy designs do look great. Both bot and alt modes look awesome!

I was hoping that Megs' wings could swing forwards for supersonic flight :/

Yep I'm having that Megatron. You richer folk can get the lovely Leader but this Voyager will do for me. Hound looks great too. I missed out on his AoE toy so may pick this one up instead.

I maybe getting megatron voyager mode if he have battle mask don't like his bot mode in leader class form to bulky compared to sleek bot form in voyager class

Oh man, I'm having a nerdgasm toward that voyager Megatron and Hound. When they come out in store, I don't care, I'm goonna get both at FULL PRICE without regrets!

i dont like the voyager because it looks like hes puking
am i the only one that sees that

After seeing this stuff... I can definitely see Has/Tak cheaping out and using the hound mold for an onslaught toy. The alt-mode definitely looks like something Onslaught would turn into. I know he has a different alt-mode in the movie, but come on, given how cheap last line was, what with them reusing molds from Prime for the smaller guys, they probably would do something dumb like this.

Hope I'm wrong.

Ok, 2 things.

1) that made my decision on Hound. He is a must get. that figure looks awesome! And it is properly fat ballerina-esque! Finally!

2) Yeah that voyager Megatron is awesome and I love it! That figure will be mine as well and head for the Liege Maximo position on my generations shelf. Either way, that figure is gorgeous and I love it

Yeah that Megatron will get picked up and added along with the few movie TF's that I own. But this will be NOT Megatron...gotta figure what to dub him as.

Knightatron? Mega-Axe? Knightosphere?

I think you arent going cheap enough. We know Onslaught is a reuse of Long Haul's character model (they even copy the chest and everything):



So wouldnt a reuse of that toy be more appropriate, with just changing the alt mode parts? They end up independent of the robot mode and end up on his back anyway (in both the toy and model) so retooling ROTF Longhaul makes much more sense.

You could also reuse him as a live action version of skullgrin

Woah. Even in the movie they are doing retools/repaints!

Well, this give us some good clues about what the toy will be!

One Step Turbo Changers Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Barricade, and Hound (the last two being new molds) have been found at Gamesto for $11.99. The area of the US has not been confirmed yet but these were found by TFW2005 user blackwidow1972. That makes it yet another store breaking the street date like Navy Exchange. Let us know if you find other stores breaking the street date of April 24th 2017.

Remember when people went to Games Stop/Eb Games and other video game stores to buy toys?

Me neither.

Well it's not like Long haul was a major character or anything.

Also Canopy's body is a Long haul reuse as well with his head design being a combination of his and Jolt's actual movie that looks nothing like the toys head which was never seen that clearly anyways.

Yes. I did it back in the day when EB Games was originally Electronics Boutique (ever wonder what the "EB" part was short for?). They had RiD 2001 toys, Digimon toys, Pokemon toys, imported Japanese Pokemon merchandise, Gundam Wing model kits and toys, Dragon Ball Z toys, a section for VHSs and DVDs, and more.

Alas, now it is all strictly video games and video game-related memorabilia.

I think I was still watching Thomas the Tank engine and building Bionicles back in 2001 man I miss Bionicle that was the definition of my Childhood.

Though I too experienced those two in my own youth, it was the former, rather than the latter, that defined my preschool years.

I want both of these but I will probably have to make a choice at some point. I'll probably wind up getting Megatron because he looks a lot cooler.

On the other hand Hound would be helpful to perform medical treatment on my wallet once these toys hit the shelf.

Funny, I missed out on Long Haul much to my regret (though I'll admit I never liked his sickly pale green very much, the yellow redeco looked much better IMO)- if they do retool him into Onslaught I'd be down for that. We'll probably get a new, simpler mold that simply looks like Long Haul ala Berserker (I can't imagine them taking a mold from 2009 and completely reshelling it) but either way it should be cool. Long Haul is one of my favourite on-screen Movie designs and the opportunity to see more of it is a plus in my book.

Yes!!! And they had not hit stores at the time if I remember...got me a Prowl and Sideburn...awesome recall people!

It's always interesting when a company tries to branch out into things away from what they're good at, it doesn't do well-and lessens what they're good at, but they keep on going with it anyway. I wonder how soon they'll be on clearance there...

It's not exactly like they're making half of their shop Transformers; these are just a few simple things on the side that they know are popular and they know will sell well. Game shop I went to all the time had a few Pokémon and Sonic plushies at the counter - this is basically the same thing. Strange that this is where it shows up first, but...

Kurona wrote:Strange that this is where it shows up first, but...

It would be stranger if it was at a more established toy store first. Hasbro has sent out all the TLK figures to most stores by now but there is a street date that Hasbro has asked not to be broken. Bigger stores know this. Gamestop doesnt get toys from Hasbro too often, so they are probably unaware and thus have put these in their stores simply because they have them.

So in the end, its not about getting the toys first (all stores have them), its about putting them up for sale first, and thats just due to inexperience.

To be fair, Pokemon and Sonic plushes do technically count as "video game memorabilia". Had it been plushies of non-video game characters, that'd stand out more towards your point.

Yeah moving on...

Fair, though Transformers does get its fair share of video games. And, well, with both video games and Transformers being big parts of nerd culture; the two have a somewhat similar market. Especially with a big movie coming out - you see this all the time in a ton of shops; getting in merchandise they usually wouldn't sell because they know there's a lot of hype around a movie tied to it. Just look at all the Frozen stuff that's still around...

Has anyone in Britain seen these. TFW2005 has reported finding these new ads for Transformers: The Last Knight Toys in printed media in the UK. We see the CG models of Bumblebee, Sqweeks, Optimus Prime and Drift as well as renders of their toys, which include a bew render for Drift.

Television and Online Commercials will soon appear to promote the toys for their release date of April 24th, 2017. If you come across other commrcials/ads like these, be sure to let us know!

That's just a red deco of his old toy I believe.

I kinda feel like I have to apologise to RiD Windblade now for making fun of how overwhelmingly red she was...

Am I the only one that wants to buy an AOE Drift and a TLK Drift and have them as a "Red Oni/Blue Oni" pair of OCs? I still want to track down a Generations Drift at some point, but the Movieverse toys do look cool with their fusion of modern sports car and ancient samurai armour aesthetics.

LE0KING wrote:That's just a red deco of his old toy I believe.

check out the chest. Also, the car mode is different.

LE0KING wrote:That's just a red deco of his old toy I believe.

Nope, new mold, or at east heavily retooled. His new toy is a Mercedes AMG, his old toy was a Bugatti Veyron.

Substantially different alt modes, and robot mode parts.
Old Deluxe mold, Bugatti:



There are some similarities sure, but it looks like a different mold to me.

There's a ton of similar details though, even for the same character. I think this is a retool or at least there's shared parts.

Jet Megatron looks sweet. I think AoE Hound looks waaaaay better than this new version. (Also I happen to have an extra still in the box never opened AoE Voyager Hound.)

Guys (and girls), Drift is a retool:









The new parts are in the chest, head and the car shell.

it is a retool. all they did was change the backpack and the front car symbol

Yep retool, although one that detracts a bit from the original. The car shell was replaced and now reversed, but now there is also a fake car front instead of the actual car front.

The head is the same as well, I'm pretty sure.

And I would be tempted to get him for the red oni/blue oni, but I don't need him. His AoE self looks better and I may get the legion just for the color change and it looks somewhat good

There's also new tires, and new ankle panels. They retooled the car shell, Robot mode is apparently the same robot with a new chest.

Though that begs the question of where the car front ends up now, since in the original it was his actual chest piece. Now it probably just hangs off the back.

Pretty much does. Just folds up back there somewhere

Is the head really the same? Looked different to me, like it was his face rather than a mask like the AOE one hinted at.

I think it's the same, but it's hard to tell.

Also, I just found the car front: look at the back of his feet. You can see the front grill complete with the circle where the emblem goes (facing backwards but the circle where it goes is visible) sitting there.

Makes sense, he is reversed after all. Thats kinda clever. I think I will get this guy afterall, I do like samurai TFs.

I love knights, so much of this line will hopefully make it to my hands

Indeed it appears that's it. The Mercedes Emblem ends up on his heel.


As to the face, looks a bit happier than the old one, and, forgive me for this: has more defined cheekbones...

Also the helmet seems to be slightly different.
