Thanks to Weibo user NOTRAB we now have some in-hand image of the upcoming leader class Shadow Spark Optimus Prime! Shadow Spark Prime uses the Hasbro leader class Prime mold without the augmentations to the arms and chest, meaning this figure's sculpting is still inaccurate to the movie. The figure does come with numerous new paint details that show scorching from heat and battle damage. The figure also has purple eyes, just like in the end of the trailer.

You can check out the in-hand images of the figure below, which include a couple of comparisons. Let us know what you think in the comments section below!

See, for this toyline, I am suffering from a few things. For one thing, I really want to see what the Masterpieces look like. I will buy all 3 if they are amazing. If they can pull off a masterpiece knight Prime, I will get it instead of any other toy. Same with the Bee and the potential Barricade. As for the regular toys, unless they slam a new Crosshairs, Drift, and Hound out of the park, I'll avoid them as I already have versions of them.

I'm really hoping for a Knight MP. I really want it

I want a Knight MP as well. There is one thing I would like to point out about the "in hand" images you posted. Those are hand painted, like most tfs introduced at shows. A lot of that paint will be molded plastic instead, as can be seen in the promotional images.

I don't hold much hope in anything 'good' from the movie5 line. The bay verse toys seem to have gotten progressively less good with each successive film. I got a few from movie1, a couple from movie2, I think only 1 from movie3, and 2 from movie4 - Snarl and Evasion Optimus. And I freely admit evasion Optimus was pretty good.

Quantumhawk, a retired Allspark staff, has found a price tag for the upcoming Voyager Class toys from Transformers: The Last Knight. There is a significant price increase with the price being $29.99. We also learn the DPCI number, which is 087-06-7326. You can use this number at customer service if ever you want to know if there is any stock in the store. While we don't know how premature this price tag is, it does mean that Target is getting ready for the Last Knight figures so they mght be coming sooner than we think.

This is most certainly the tag for the Premier Edition Optimus Prime which isn't unusual to have a higher price than the rest of the line. We're still many months away from release, which will likely have a street date attached (late April, early May?) rather than just randomly showing up like other TF lines.

Given that the only Voyager figure shown so far looks like a decent size and great deco, with a reasonably good robot and vehicle mode.... I'm not thrilled with a $30 price point. I'll have to be more selective about what I get. But I won't regret paying that if they're all high quality, like the Voyager Optimus seems to be.

the target near me has been charging $30 for voyagers since AoE, id wait to see what walmarts price will be before we start to freak out. But with that said i wouldnt be at all surprised if hasblow does another price hike, they always seem to come around when the new movie stuff shows up.

...does this mean TF prices are going up again??? I'm just now becoming okay w/ the 15$ Deluxes and 25$ Voyagers. Of course, the only movie toy I own is the SS Camaro Bumblebee for AOE and I didn't actually buy that one. I mainly buy Generations toys, so I don't know if prices are different.

I need this... It's everything I've always wanted. And that Barricade, if we are getting it. But man, would I love a Masterpiece Blackout... He was our introduction to this universe, after all, and what a badass he was... Til he got shot in the crotch, of course.

That voyager looks nice. I was wanting a voyager of this version of Prime for AOE, but the only one was that strange one with the huge backpack and trailer gimmick. Glad to see my patience is paying off. But.... I'm not paying 30 quid for it. So I'll get it when it goes on sale for something stupidly cheap, like all the wave 1 voyagers end up doing.

And unless we get an MP Barricade, I think that'll be all I get in terms of movie toys.

Shadow Spark Optimus Prime looks good...in robot mode. In vehicle mode he looks like a badly-painted custom.

Regarding the prices, bear in mind that in this country, Deluxes are now £20 and Voyagers £30, so you guys can consider yourselves lucky. Especially as this price hike means that the prices over here are almost certainly going up too.

I'm still really stoked for an MP Bumblebee. I will get this thing, That is fact.

Although, seeing as how he is based on his first movie body, I imagine that means Prime will also be based on his first movie self, either as another release of the RotF leader or as a new figure similar to it. If that happens, no thanks, I'm good. I still want a really good knight Prime, but if it is his first movie self, at least it definitely saves me some money for a potential really good Barricade (if that is him)

in the movie, BB is a concept camarro, and instead of doing that they gave him the 2010 camaro model.

in the movie, BB is a concept camarro, and instead of doing that they gave him the 2007 camaro model,so the actual car that was out that year.

That car mode is identical to the one he got in the 2007 movie. I'm not really sure why you think they're different?

Some of the details look closer to the 2010-2013 Camaro SS, but as many, if not more, are closer to the actual '06 Concept Camaro.

I don't know what to say to the people who actually care about minor differences most people would never notice.

At least he doesn't transform into something drastically different like lets say this

Also for the people who are going to complain about the price this is the normal price for Hasbro masterpiece car bots.

So wait, this is a new mold? I've been out of the movie toy game for awhile, just assumed this was the Leader or Battle Ops bee done up fancier but no, this looks new. And real nice too. I'm gonna assume the fingers move individually with that 31 points of articulation line.

Yep. Completely new mold based specifically on the 2007 Movie 1 Bumblebee's CG model, and seems to be around the size of the G1 MP Autobot Cars.

Yeah, you know what? I'll very likely buy this Bumblebee. It's a gorgeous figure of one of my all time fave TF designs and the most accurate one he's ever had most likely.

"Does it convert?" "Does it ever!" No, it transforms. IT TRANSFORMS. SAY IT! hehe. yeah i know the reasons why they don't but it still amuses me.

The differences I can see between the Concept and that toy are the shape of the bonnet bulges are different - the wheels are slightly inaccurate the wing mirrors are like the production car. It may be the wrong shade of yellow too.

Also It makes you wonder if Takara make their own version would it have bonus shoulder rocket launchers on it (perhaps as an Amazon exclusive) ?

Also the original (and the production model) have a black B pillar and the toy has a yellow one.

Perhaps this will help :

From The Wiki : http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Trademark

Hasbro has realised that using the word "transform" as a verb to describe the process of changing a Transformers toy from one mode into another one would make the brand name "Transformers" descriptive, making the mark indefensible. The end result would have been a loss of the mark Transformers as a registered trademark, allowing competitors to use it as a generic term for their shape-shifting robot toys and thus creating further confusion among parents when asked to buy a Transformer.

As a consequence, the use of "transform" as a verb when being used to describe Transformers product is almost strictly forbidden in certain written materials:[4] If it's a toy that "converts", Hasbro can argue that Transformers is not merely a descriptive term, thus allowing for trademark protection to persist. Although this mandate does not extend to character dialogue within fiction, synonyms like "convert" (or simply "change") are used in Hasbro's own products (like packaging call-outs and instructions) and in licensees' products (such as game guides). Even the novels Transformers: Exodus and Transformers: Exiles, unusually for actual fiction, avoid using "transform" as a verb - always replaced with either "proto-form" (the first usage of such term as a verb) or "alt-form", depending on the mode into which a Cybertronian is shifting.

As a matter of fact, "Transformer" (specifically "with a capital initial") is listed in the Oxford English Dictionary as a description of "a type of children's toy, first manufactured in Japan, consisting of a model robot which can be transformed into another toy". However, since the term is identified as a "proprietary name" and Hasbro is specifically mentioned in the name etymology, the entry makes it pretty clear that the term is not a catch-all description of a general product type, but tied to a specific manufacturer, hence posing no threat to Hasbro's exclusive claim of the trademark.[5] The fact that the entry has been in the dictionary since 1993 also implies that Hasbro has never seen any need for intervention. (The same dictionary also has an entry for Mattel's "Barbie", for that matter.)
Many Hasbro competitors have used "transform" as a verb on their toy packaging in the past. More recently, however, some such as Mattel and LEGO have changed (ha ha) to using terms like "convert" and "shift" instead. Whether this is due to Hasbro legal intervention is, at the moment, pure conjecture.

From the product descriptions, movie tag lines on the TV spots and the trailer it seems something that might be what is left of Cybertron is wrapping tendrils around the entire Earth. (inspired by Independence day 2 I guess - only more so).

But that said what is wrapped around the earth may not be Cybertron alone and there is likely more to it than that.

That Bumblebee actually looks pretty sweet. That said, if I do buy it (which I most likely won't) I'd wait for the Takara release to come out so I can pick the better one.

This movie is already ultra stuffed as it is, pretty sure we wont have any combiners, especially when all sources state Onslaught is the only combaticon in the film and thatthe only Dinobot with "major" screen presence is Grimlock.

These toys are just easy exclusives to give to stores. With AOE, almost all exclusives were just redecos of previous toys.

He isnt labeled as a combaticon, I was just using that word forus here in the context that the moveonly had one member of a team we know tocombine in different media.

I feel this isn't gonna be a take on the Onslaught we know from G1 and FoC and whatnot, but rather just a new character using the name because it kinda fits. Especially with the wildly different vehicle mode.

Which, by the way, is fine.

Well the recent movie toy lists(TRU & UK) suggests that we ARE getting a combiner(of which one of the dinobots are included in. as a 6th figure) so my guess is that at LEAST in toy form we'll prob get a mini dinobot combiner, as for Onslaught moviewise we'll prob only see him & not his Combaticon buddies, but toywise...it's possible we could get all the Combaticons...and maybe they could combine(but don't quote me on that though!) coz remember...in the previous tf movie toylines we've had figures that never appeared in the films(Stratosphere, Air Raid to name but a few).

Of course it won't be G1 Onslaught. None of the movie guys are. Not even remotely like them.

I'm fine if there are no combiners and it's just exclusive toys like the last. To be honest, I wasn't following the AOE toys that closely. Lockdown, Galvatron and the onscreen dinobots were all I got.

It doesnt say that. The listing says, 5 part combiner with slug, which could mean that slug is the main part of the 5 part combiner. ust like in combiner wars when we look at the custom combinations we made and we say we made a 5 member combiner with skylynx. Skylynx is not a 6th member, he`s the torso, we just identify the combiner as being done with skylynx sicne he is the main bot.

Thats too bad because the better toys happened to be the autobots this time around, with Hound and Evasion Mode Prime. Although I do like Galvatron for what they were trying to do and convey.

Oh yeah. Forgot I had evasion mode prime. Actually, I got him twice. The original release and the twin pack with classics Prime. Ha! Can't believe I forgot them, they are sweet figures.

As for Hound... The only time I saw him on shelf was long after the movie had been and gone (wave 2 voyagers were really, really late at getting released) and my mate got the last one. Which I was fine with because that was the day I picked up Galvatron. That reminds me, Galvatron is on my customise list.

Oh, thats fine then, as long as you have Evasion Mode prime. I guess because he is the best figure from that line (by a looooooooong shot), people tend to see him as outside the line. he also doesnt really belong technically since he's in a form only seen a bit in the film and in a colour never seen, so very much a figure apart.

As underwhelmed as I initially was, I'm finding this color scheme slowly growing on me. It evokes TFP Nemesis Prime's colors, which is always a win, but then he's got that wonderful fading effect along the sides of his alt mode as if the darkness is physically consuming all the light in him. Pretty cool to say the least!
