Toysrus Australia has an odd new listing where they lump in the only 2 deluxe exclusives Toysrus is carrying globally under the Mission to Cybertron subline: Skullitron and Megatron. Skullitron looks very different from his CG render which was revealed a few weeks ago. The colours are far more bold here in these stock images of the finished toys. Megatron looks far more similar to what we were expecting though. These will be sold for $40 AUD (Americans shouldn't worry, they were confirmed to be $20 in the US).

Great review of Sqweeks. I agree with it. He's such a fun toy that shows Hasbro/Takara had a lot of fun designing him and giving him that repair bay trailer for extra play value.

That chest piece can slide up a fair bit further if you want to give him a beefier chest. Also when that's done, if you look underneath it you see the six round thingies the artwork shows too.

Skullitron look WAY better than Steelbane. If he end up being not a floppy mess, this is the one I'll get.

I don't care for that deluxe Megs because I already have the mold and I don't really like it.

Skullitron looks pretty creepy! Dunno if I want it.

Megatron on the other hand looks great, and because he's a deluxe he'd scale better with voyager Scorn.

Only wish there was a proper TLK deluxe Optimus coming out as well besides the the DotM repaint.

Still though, I love the movie design of the head with the Generations/G1 sort of face underneath. Looks brilliant! Way better than if he had the fully movie style face on this smooth-looking body.

Skullitron's threatening to go on my buy list. I love that creepy head sculpt and I love the knights style. Deluxe Megs is an easy pass. The new head is kinda cool but I've never really cared for that figure mold.

Yay! I like Megs, so it's nice to hear that he won't disappear within two days of being in stock. More time for me!

LOL thanks.

The lesser amount of people want it the more likely it is to go on sale. *crosses fingers* Please please please I don't like paying 20USD for a deluxe. I will if I need to though.

Weak ass alt mode for that Skullitron but a fun head sculpt. Totally bizarre.

That deluxe Megs is also a pretty weak offering. TLK head and AOE body is pretty lazy.

WTF No way am I spend 100 bucks on a set with mediocre figures no friggin way mark it down to 30 and we'll talk but at 100 they can jog on. That Optimus on the other hand looks half decent and i'll probably pick him up if shows up here in AUS in my area as I never got that mold as DOTM Prime.

Re: New Finished Toy Stock Images of Deluxe Skullitron and Megatron Transformers: The Last Knight Toys (1888787)
Posted by Prime Target on June 11th, 2017 @ 8:59pm CDT

Skullitron looks Fugly and to be frank Steelbane looks a LOT better than him. Megatron on the other hand looks friggin Gorgeous The gold just makes it pop! i'll be picking this up for sure although 40 for a deluxe concerns me and especially since the mold has been used twice before (on figures that I am much more excited to get)I fear mold degredation could be in effect here.

Re: New Finished Toy Stock Images of Deluxe Skullitron and Megatron Transformers: The Last Knight Toys (1888789)
Posted by Prime Target on June 11th, 2017 @ 9:11pm CDT

Meh just Meh I've played with both of these molds before and I didn't like them very much due to their complexity and loose joints and the deco for the DOTM deluxe Prime doesn't seem like a very significant Difference (one could say that about the WFC Prime repaint from the Transformers Tribute boxset but that figure has the advantage of I actually want him and he's packaged with an Awesome Orion Pax repaint of Kup!) not excited for this one.

What's WFC? I know DOTM is Dark of the Moon, but I don't know of any toyline or movie that could tell me what those letters stand for.

WFC stands for War For Cybertron, a game released for the Xbox 360, PS2, and PC in 2010. A sequel called Fall Of Cybertron (FOC for short) was released in 2012.

Both games got some toys, that's where that Optimus Prime came from.

Those are games for systems I don't have because I only have Nintendo DS and 3DS. I suppose players start off playing as Bumblebee in those games. That's the way it was with a game a co-worker gave me.

WFC is on the DS as well, I know because I have the games. In FOC you start off as playing as Bumblebee but in WFC on DS you start off as an Autobot Rookie (in both faction campaigns). I can't remember about the PC version.

I think we should get back on topic now.

Right new page so ehm... Looking at AoE exclusives, they follow a similar format with each store chain having its "gimmick" or exclusive character. I wonder what prompted that idea?

At least in the UK, they're in affiliated stores like ASDA and Tesco IIRC. Though I don't know if Stinger was released outside of the US.

You didn't miss much. Only a 1-step and some pointless repainted legions (from packs) were ever released.

In before someone point out the Red Bumblebee deluxe that is a Takara exclusive and have nothing to do with any Walmart exclusives.

Clear Nail polish is great at fixing floppy ball joints.
such as on Steelbane - if it's a floppy hinge sometimes floor polish can help. - don't use superglue it melts or discolours plastic an is a huge no-no with Transparent plastic as it fogs it. you can also use a clear setting resin sometimes if something is very loose - but you have to leave it to dry completely before re-attaching.

As for why there is a Mercedes Logo on Squeeks - it's because he has Drift on his cross sell - and the logo is visible on the packet that he has that license mentioned.

What happens to Walmart exclusives in countries that don't have Walmarts?

here is a quote from a session with Hasbro:

It was noted here for clarity that Deluxe Class Hot Rod is a Walmart exclusive, while Skullitron and Infernocus are Toys R Us exclusives. For Walmart, the exclusive program is called "Autobots Unite" while Toys R Us has "Mission to Cybertron". It was asked during the later Q&A portion of the call whether or not these would be available in other countries. While the specifics were unknown to the team (or unable to be revealed), it was noted that Hasbro did at least offer both the Autobots Unite and Mission to Cybertron exclusive programs globally. In other words, if an Autobots Unite toy shows up somewhere like Argos or Toys R Us in the UK, it's a safe bet that Argos or Toys R Us or wherever picked up that entire exclusive program's line-up of toys - but do note this is my commentary based on what was said, so don't come at me with your pitchforks if that doesn't end up being the case!

That means that in countries where there isnt a Walmart, hasbro reached out to retailers, ofering the exclusive and they decided ot pick it up or not. No retailer in Australia, for instance, chose to pick it up.

Also, LOL at that Silver Optimus exclusive with target. They had so much merchandise based on that, even bags and shirts. All based on a concept that never happened. Poor target.
