Knight Morpher Commander - Exclusive Seibertron.com Promotional Gallery

Damn, I like the robot mode, but a train ??? Will megatron be a caboose ???

It's a great figure overall,except for these red wheels.I hope Reprolabels will give us a nice sticker set for this.

This is a concept sketch of Hearts of Steel Megatron:

Wow! Glad I pre-ordered this guy. His eyes look like they have light piping. True? He seems to be able to pull off some great poses as well. What's the quality like? As good as or better than the fansproject stuff?

These promotional pictures make the Knight Morpher look like a truly exceptional figure! I'm definitely glad I ordered it: can't await to see it with my own eyes. I love the comic and I can only hope that this product will be succesful enough to make recreations of more of the HoS TF's (Megatron? Bumblebee? Shockwave?).

Of course, like Flux Convoy, I also wonder how the quality of the final product is (plastics used, joint stiffness, paint applications). I'm a displayer rather than a playa', so the Knight Morpher will stay pretty untouched. I haven't however had much experience with the general quality of third party products except for the WST Dinobots, which aren't really comparable due to their size limitations.

I have to say, even if there do turn out to be some problems with this mold, I can only state my amazement and admiration for Mastermind Creations in attempting to make this possible, not only as a custom product but also in making it available to a larger market! Total respect!

Feels odd that it's a train.. But love the robot mode!

What's up with the complaints that this is a train? The design is from Hearts of Steel.

Looks really nice for a 3rd party.. but nowdays all 3rd parties are getting more better and more awesome.

omg i want this guy!!!!!! so damn cool!

I'm stoked, looks great, etc.

Everyone realizes that the train is about 6" long right?

The pics make it seem pretty big, but it's not...

Just sayin'

True, true...I wish I could say that I could be as happy with "official" products though.

I don't think I've been really wow'ed by anything Hasbro recently. And yes, I'm not wow'ed by Sea Spray. I'll get him (japan vers prob) when he comes out, but that's just to fill the Sea Spray spot.

I'd actually get Knight Morpher, but I kiiiinda want to wait and see what repaints we could get from him. If we don't have a new repaint from this guy by Botcon, I'll probably pick him up there.

One of the earlier pictures released by Mastermind Creations in July 2009 showed Knight Morpher (in alt mode) next to a regular lighter, so yes, people should have been aware since more than half a year ago that he'll be about the size of a deluxe TF.

I may actually pre-order this now, just because it's so different. And everyone needs to buy this so they make that cannon Megatron. That thing looks S-I-C-K.

Sooo glad I pre-ordered this puppy early. It's been a long wait, but MMC did NOT disappoint.

Ooo! I love the one pic with a second car. They should look into making an addition or two.

That's a dangerous game to play with Hasbro stuff, much less 3rd parties.

Well...at least one picture, released over 6 months ago is there to remind people.

What? The waiting game for repaints or buying 3rd party products at Botcon?

I know it's not a definite, but I'm just gonna place a bet that there could be a repaint. No biggie if there isn't. I'll just get him later then. If his price goes up, then that's on me for waiting. I understand the game. This is my only hobby so I have disposible cash for it.

If you mean buying 3rd party products at Botcon, then you havn't been to Botcon.

Just to remind people, this was made by a forum member here. Mastermind Creations was just given the piece to put into production (they may have made some minor changes/tweaks).

Eric (griffith76) should be the one getting the props for getting this created. He also planned on making Megatron if this did sell well.

Can anybody clarify the colour of the legs. Some shots show them as dark blue others they look black.

i expected little more detail around the chest section looks little plain but i like it im glad i roderd him

Meh. Never read Hearts of Steel, and from what I hear, it's not very good. So this doesn't really interest me.

But can anyone tell me, does he fight vampires with that giant Crucifix of his?

Actually, if Hasbro released this figure, he'd be atleast an Ultra class. The main figure itself, is a Voyager, and is the same height as Classics Optimus. Add the trailer, and you do have an Ultra class figure. I was lucky and got to see a prototype in person two months ago. Also had classics voyager prime with me at the time, so I did the height comparison.

Trikeboy wrote:Can anybody clarify the colour of the legs. Some shots show them as dark blue others they look black.

I think they are really dark blue, that or they show two different figures one with black and one with blue, but personally think it's really dark blue.
Really dark and really awesome looking, damn this thing is nice and I thought that already when I first saw the original custom.

That is awsome!

The thing thing I could possibly think it needs is a little hand cart as Roller.

Just can't get into this guy so far..

This thing looks fantastic, but it kinda looks like the transformation is very simplistic and boring...probably quite similar to G1 Prime's actually. Can anyone confirm or speak to the contrary?

Aside from the red wheels and cow catcher/leg armor, he looks great. Especially now that I know his visor is removable. that part was one of the main things preventing me from wanting this guy. Still, he's a little expensive, so I probably won't be picking him up unless I have some extra cash. He's definitely cooler than expected though.

...Steam locomotives often DID have red wheels and red cow-catchers...

It's accurate for a fancy new locomotive...

I think I really have to preorder this. I put it off but, I'm thinking I've got to have it. I think it looks great. The concept sketches of Megatron look great too. I hope it sells well so that we'll see a Megatron figure too!

Here's my plan...

This toy is going to be awesome. Real talk there. This thing looks good.

So...what I'm going to do for anyone who's on the fence and decides NOT to get one, is put a massive guilt trip on you.

I hate it when you do that.

I've been torn on this figure, literally preordering and canceling no less than three times. I'm still not sure.

I preordered one. I'd like to see more of these!

Counterpunch wrote:...Steam locomotives often DID have red wheels and red cow-catchers...

Yeah...but the important question is: did he have red wheels in the comic? And I think you'll find the answer to that is no. Amirite?

I don't think he was even in the comic in that form, if at all although it's been a while since I read it. The only images we have of him are the art that was done by IDW.

And I wanna see the Insecti-train.

Mastermind Creations has further updated us with their latest Knight Morpher Commander's promotional poster/wallpaper.



Do not forget to check out our previous news on KMC: http://www.seibertron.com/misc/3rd-part ... 0&start=80

& Seibertron exclusive gallery here: http://www.seibertron.com/misc/3rd-part ... =0&start=0.

Stay tuned to Seibertron, as we will give us the world first toy review on Knight Morpher Commander in the near future.

This latest wallpaper really isn't that flattering for the Kight Morpher... It puts a little too much emphasis on the sholders. But it's of no concern seeing as how good the gallery already made it look. Still, I love the way he's reloading the six-shooter / Gatling gun: the cylinder molding on the gun is a detail I hadn't even realized was there before!

Lucky you! And yes, you are right: in my earlier post regarding the comparison with a lighter, I mentioned him looking as big as a Deluxe, but when I thought about the size copmparison later, I also realized I should have said Voyager or even an Ultra. Even more comparison shots would be nice though! Can't wait for the Seibertron review...

Optimus Prime only appears in two panels in issue 1. He his alt mode looks like a Brachiosaurus. The only image in train mode is this image:



As you can see the toy is extremely accurate to that picture. He never speaks. The only Autobots to feature are Bumblebee, Prowl, Ratchet and Ironhide. A couple of other Autobots are in the background. Prowl, Ratchet and Ironhide turn into box cars so there is an opportunity for more in this line. The Decepticons look much better in that comic though. I would kill for a Megatron, Shockwave or Starscream toy.

Funny thing about this guy, I want it. I have it ordered. I think it looks great. I thought everything but the first couple pages of the comic were crap. Just my opinion. Like I said, funny.

One of these days I need to read the "Hearts of Steel" comic series, but there was no way I was going to pass up on this. I'd love to see more characters. Still not sure where in my collection he's going, but he's been on my pre-order for a while now... Looking forward to his arrival.

Your opinion is very absolutely correct.

HoS was garbage.

The toy however...is PiMp.

Yeah, HoS was pretty bad...so much so that when I lent the TPB to a friend and he returned it damaged, I didn't mind so much. A lot of wasted potential with that one.

Completely agree the comic was rubbish. On the other hand, the designs for the transformers was absolutely amazing. Some more toys to back up Optimus Prime. Maybe Bumblebee:



Shockwave:



or Starscream:

Why do people always capitalize the k? Oh well...

Anyways, I meant I want to see the Insectitrain as a figure. I have the art saved

Very tempting...

But...I thought for sure IDW did a color concept art for him, and there were no red wheels.

Wow. I wish I ordered one when it was cheaper. I hop they make toys out of all the HoS characters.

awesomo prime wrote:Wow. I wish I ordered one when it was cheaper. I hop they make toys out of all the HoS characters.

I don't think the price has changed... Not sure how RD got his, but I don't think it's even seen a general release yet.
