In-Hand Images of Transformers: The Last Knight Deluxe Bumblebee

Agh, I can't wait for this guy to hit shelves. He looks amazing. I just need him and the deluxe Hot Rod (and maybe Cogman), then once I ship my Pile of Loot with Scorn and Nitro Zeus I'll have everyone I'm looking for out of the movie lineup. I managed to track down a voyager Megatron last week (finally) and I honestly haven't been so impressed with a Transformer in a couple months. The transformation is super smooth and fun, doesn't get in its own way and mine has all tight joints, also a first for me in a few months.

Need!

I want him

It's amazing, but the head looks off somehow...

I think it looks fine but maybe you can swap it for one of the many, many, many other Bumblebee figure's heads?

I really hope this guy gets over to the UK soon, he looks so good. I picked up the original Abominus mold from a car boot sale a few years back and was impressed, and this guy just seems to amend all my previous nitpicks with the old guy. Can't wait!

Transformed Megatron.

Started off with the instructions, decided to toss them aside because trying to read anything printed in those colours on that background is near impossible for me.

He's pretty easy to figure out though. But you have to do a lot of small/minor adjustments to make sure everything lines up perfectly to lock together.

His nose cone doesn't want to stay locked in place all the time. That takes a bit of wrangling to get things to lock in. As do the wings to the legs.

Once transformed ... he's quite possibly the largest transformer jet, not just the wingspan, but the length as well. He's a mish mash though. In some spots, lots of detail, very much a jet ... others, you can clearly see robot parts.

He's a good figure, and definitely better than his voyager version. But if they were to put Masterpiece level effort into him, he could be the greatest Megatron figure ever.

Yeah, that Bumblebee still looks awesome, I can't wait to add him to my collection. It'll probably be a while though, I haven't even found the wave 2 deluxes in stores yet.

I've haven't gotten anything since DotM and that was mostly cyberverse so this Bumblebee excites me because it looks like they corrected so many of the little issues with the previous versions. However I don't understand why Hasbro doesn't give Bee the transformable battle mask head they created for Battle Blades Bumblebee. That little minor issue may be the one thing that keeps me from getting this figure which otherwise would become my definitive Bumblebee.

Also, where is his hammer?

when he will be avaible to buy

Unfortunately he doesn't come with one. I'm sure a third party will have one soon, there's already one for the masterpiece figure.

In the meantime, here's a hastily photoshopped version of what this Bee would look like with the hammer (with an appropriately epic background, of course.)

That is a nice photoshop. Will have to get that backdrop printed out and stuck on the shelf behind Bee when he is released and purchased by the me.

Gotta disagree on that one. Voyager Megatron, imo, has better proportions, less kibble, and a wayyy better fusion cannon. Just my opinion though.

don't forget the...cough**oversized Wei Jiang Voyager**cough

I have a feeling that the potential 2018 Bee might take engineering cues from this Bee. Still, this figure should have been released, and the re/depaint of the AOE mold should have been used for any store as an exclusive.

I found the jet mode to be severely lacking in ... something. I don't know what it was exactly but once I transformed him I was left disappointed.

Both voyager and leader are still impressive figures though.

And Stewie, as I've said to others I will say to you, keep 3P discussions OUT of the official threads.

So Hong Kong has gotten wave 3, except for Cogman, this seems curious at best.

That is an epic picture. Well done!

I agree with this. Voyager is an awesome figure in both modes. And I love how the wings go around the legs, and the fusion cannon isn't just the entire front end of the jet. Really love the jet mode too. Gorgeous toy.

In addition to the initial images we saw here, we now have a full series of in-hand shots of the Universal Studios exclusive Transformers: The Last Knight dinobot Snarl, in the new grey, black, and more grey deco - thanks to Hong Kong based toy photographer Oscar Fung! You can check out the images mirrored below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Yeah I'd probably buy that Snarl if it wasn't an exclusive and I could just find it locally.

They put a Forrest Gump joke in Snarl's bio.

Infernocus looks good, I really want the guy.
However here in the Philippines they're selling it for a little over the price of a leader class toy, no way i can justify to myself buying the set at that price.

Freaking Wal-Mart exclusives..... why would they not want to release this figure at the same time the movie comes out?

Wait wait wait...

Deluxe Bee has all 4 wings! Result! They finally got it!

And Burn, I look forward to any generations scale Megatron, but hopefully my leader is a good one when I get him. He does look to be the best of the lot

You only just noticed?

A Seibertronian fan has sent us via Facebook and email a sighting for the two Voyager wave-mates from Transformers: The Last Knight's toyline - that's right, Nitro Zeus and Scorn seems to be appearing at regular US retail, as the image below from Bloomington's Walmart in St George, Utah, proves.

If you come across any sightings of these guys, or any other figure, make sure to use the Sightings Database and regional forums, to help out other collectors - happy hunting!

So why is it Decepticon Nitro if he has a full name of Nitro Zeus?

Either way I'd likely buy that one on sight.

Same reason we've got "Wolfwire" and "Autobot Ratchet"

Kurona wrote:Same reason we've got "Wolfwire" and "Autobot Ratchet"

yeah, sorry, I didn't realise Nitro Zeus was the name of something else (I read the wiki about it being a planned cyber attack) so I guess Hasbro couldn't use that as a trademark.

By the way what the heck does 'wolfwire' mean? The wire bit confuses me. Weirdwolf could be Strangewolf, Oddwolf, Eccentricwolf... Who the heck took the Weirdwolf name anyway?

Finally found voyager megatron Saturday and the next wave gets sighted tuesday. About time! Nitro, come my way!

Asda in the UK has put up some new listings on their webpage for the Transformers The Last Knight Autobots Unite Flip and Change Bumblebee and Hot Rod! These two are Wal-Mart exclusives here in the states, but since Wal-mart is Asda's parent company, it makes sense that they would see an overseas release through them.
While we have the online listings, we don't have any sightings at a physical Asda store. So if you live in the UK and find either Hot Rod or Bumblebee, please let us know!

Out of the three Asda's I've visited in past few months I've not seen any TLK toys at all.

I have the Lockdown and Drift versions of these from AoE I found at charity shops.

Hot Rod has to be the best looking flip and change toy I've ever seen. Not that that's saying much, but...

Our very own ScottyP has let us know that the Transformers The Last Knight All Spark Tech Standard figures have hit US retail! This assortment, consisting of Drift, Hound, and Barricade, and were found at the Cary, NC Target for $14.99! All three of these bots are compatible with the All Spark cubes that come in the Starter pack we reported on a while ago. Check out the photographic proof below!



If you find any new toys out at retail anywhere in the world, please let us know in the sightings section!

Uhg that site, just... the graphics are fine I guess, but two typos on the homepage does not a professional impression encourage. And the caps-lock 'catagory' titles with a lower case letter at the start make it seem like they're sUDDENLY SHOUTING....


...Ahem, sorry . Back on topic, I just want to point out (again?) how brilliant Voyager Hound is. I wouldn't call him perfect by any stretch and his transformation is fiddly to the point of frustration the first time you do it, but he's such a better representation of the character than the AoE Voyager. It's just the right amount of chunk on this one IMO, and he feels characterful and really unique among other Transformers, without losing all ability to appear intimidating and be taken seriously - it's a fine line with his character design.

Even the green doesn't bother me nearly as much as I thought it would; seeing him in-person on the store shelf I still hated the color, but once I had him in action I didn't have a problem with it at all. Honestly the only thing I find myself missing is the one or two Red Cross tampos. They just added a tiny bit of color variety which is somewhat needed, especially in his robot mode. (A tiny Autobot Reprolabel added to his shoulder - it wouldn't stick on his helmet where the actual Red Cross logo would have gone 'cause of the curvature - actually does a lot to fill that gap.) I'm sure Reprolabels will do a specific set for Hound eventually too, so I may have to think about getting that, but he's still pretty good even without any extra deco work.

All in all, a fantastic figure IMO and while I may be somewhat biased (Hound is my favorite Movie character after all), I'd strongly recommend picking him up after - or alongside - Megatron if you can spare the funds. I haven't had any experience with Wave 3 Voyagers, or any Deluxes past Wave 1, or any Leaders at all... uh, so this probably doesn't count for much... but out of what I have experienced, he's absolutely my second-favorite figure from this line so far (and a close second at that) .

So I guess this means they'll show up at TFcon DC ?

Been trying to make up my mind for ages which version of him to get. Never saw the AoE version on shelves here. And so far haven't seen the TLK version either though I can get it from Kapow or another online retailer when I choose to I suppose.

Admittedly I've never had the AoE Voyager either - so many things about it never appealed to me, not least those weird wibbly rubber forearms and total lack of paunch. But just on appearance alone I'd strongly recommend TLK Hound; if you're into the character, he's a plenty great toy however you slice it!

Aw I like the look of those wibbly arms. I do prefer the vehicle mode of the AoE vehicle. Just looks more solid and 'badass' to me. The TLK vehicle looks a bit mundane. At least when it hasn't got the cool rocket launcher thing on the back. And the feet look a bit odd and flat. Oh I dunno. It's hard to choose when just going by pics. I wanna feel them in hand and play with them both for a bit and see which I prefer.

Yeah, I only did just notice!

We've been sent in-hand images of the highly-anticipated leader class figure from Transformers: The Last Knight, featuring the first duocon under any other name: Dragonstorm, with Stormreign and Dragonicus! Check out the individual knight modes for the two parts of the dragon alt-mode character from the movie, and let us know what you think below!

Looks like a really fun set. And I'm glad they put Voyager Megatron in there for size comparison and show they're not actually hugely different in bot size.

So that doesn't work at all the way I thought it would.

Movie Twinferno!

The paintjob on the dragon heads looks so ugly. Nothing like in the official product images. Reminds me of maccaronis with cheese. Looks like they just coated them with hot cheese.
