New Stock Photography for Transformers: The Last Knight Crosshairs, Strafe, and Leader Dragonstorm

Man, I'll have to get myself a Crosshairs. Missed him the first time around, and now he's even better, it seems. Can't wait to find this wave.

Via fellow Seibertronian carytheone, we have our first sighting of the Walmart exclusive Flip and Change Bumblebee from the Autobots Unite subline for Transformers: The Last Knight! The figure comes in the same wave as Hot Rod, also with simplified transformation, though not pictured below - found at a store in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for $19.87.

If you come across this or any other figures, make sure to let other fans know through our Sightings Sections and Database - and as always, happy hunting!

For those of you who just read about the Flip and Change Bumblebee being sighted at Walmart, you can find the similarly styled Transformers The Last Knight Flip and Change HOT ROD figure via Walmart.com. Both Flip and Change Bumblebee and Hot Rod are part of Walmart's exclusive Autobots Unite sub-line. In addition, you can also view his product images, which have been mirrored below.

As of this post, Flip and Change Bumblebee was not currently available at Walmart.com. In addition, no other Last Knight Hot Rod products were available either, all of which are exclusive to Walmart in the United States.

I'll wait for Crosshairs to be on discount. There's not too much to make me buy $7 for a figure that's sort of similar to the AOE figure.

Does Flip and Change Hot Rod appear to be built on the Lockdown mold like his toys in other assortments?

Yes, and Bumblebee too.
It's a nice concept and a nice gimmick. Not perfect, but fun nonetheless.

Wasn't there a F&C Bee in the AOE line? I assumed this was a reuse of that.

All of Hot Rod's toys are based on Lockdown, if applicable, sharing the same basic maker (Lamborghini). F&C Bumblebee is a direct reuse of the same toy from AoE, sharing its gimmick with Lockdown.

Youtube Transformer Reviewer Cheftron, (who has been a front page regular as of late because of his early looks at figures), has recently posted a video focusing on the new Transformers The Last Knight Combiner Infernocus! This is our best look yet at the gestalt, who's limbs come from the Transformers Prime Abominus toy, and features a brand new center robot to form the chest. This figure has flown considerably more under the radar compared to other recent movie figures, with very few in-hand images and sightings, so this review is a great resource to help decide if you want to pick him up when he hits retail in the coming weeks. Check it out below!

Honestly he's one of the only figures I'm hunting ATM.

He was at my TRU today, but I'll be damned if I'm paying TRU's price for him.

Anyhoo ... onto old mate Megatron.

When this guy was unveiled, I wanted ... wanted wanted wanted.

Now I have.

And now he has a new name.

Captain Floppy Legs.

While the flame thrower is a fantastic addition, it tends to make that side of the body heavy, combine with a weaker hip on the same side, posing him gets difficult.

Guess I'll just have to steal the GF's nail varnish ...
(No comment about the alt mode, have yet to transform him)

Make sure the shoulder ball bars are correct. My dreadwing has two right ones.

Mexican toy collector Alex Buentello, via his Instagram account, has shared images of the upcoming new mold for deluxe Bumblebee in the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline! The new deluxe adds some spike wings to the car door ones, comes with the arm cannon, and is still part of the Premier Edition branding. Check it out below!

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...

Rainmaker wrote: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!

a company in Kansas city, Missouri that does Graphic designs,

haven't been around for a while but long enough to take the trademark, and the art kind of sucks if i am honest
