New Transformers: The Last Knight Commercial Featuring Knight Armor Bumblebee

The first thing that commercial reminded me of was this other commercial:

Will Voyager Megatron, Hound, and deluxe Skweeks come out soon, or will they come out at the same time as the movie this summer?

Those 3 are the ones I want the most.

Sometime in May was said for Wave 2. I'd like those three as well.

I really want Sqweeks as well. It'll be interesting to compare the distribution of these upcoming waves to Generations/TR. Will they be better distributed because they're movie toys and they have priority and they're truly how Hasbro makes it's money?

Think of it more as a hypothetical "Masterpiece MP-17A Prowl Animated Colors Ver."

Pretty neat commercial. Still a kid's toy thought. Not my thing but I would assume it would be fun for some to play with.

After hearing about several things potentially related to a Toys R Us exclusive toyline for The Last Knight, it seems as though we finally have some solid information regarding this new "Mission to Cybertron" stuff! The Toys R Us Movie HQ Website has updated with new information regarding Mission to Cybertron. While no toys are mentioned here outright, it does give a lengthy description regarding what the Mission is, while also showing us the full poster of artwork previously revealed.

You can check out the website by following the link above. You can also read up on the Mission to Cybertron below along with the full artwork, mindful that there are potential spoilers!

Ok, so here are my thoughts on Berserker.

So, definitely the weakest of the 3 wave 1 guys I purchased. He is not bad, but he is beneath Barricade and Prime. The robot mode is awesome and I love looking at it. The alien head and dreads are really cool and the chest looks pretty sweet as well. The legs are pretty cool too and I love that the figures in this line seem to be taking heel spurs seriously. He is pretty stable and fun to pose. His weapons are pretty sweet too. Transformation is difficult because the arms and legs just don't want to behave themselves when hooking up, but it has gotten a bit easier with several transformations. Alt mode is pretty nice, and I appreciate the fact that they are painting all the windows and lights or using translucent plastic for all of them on these figures. the gaps between arms and legs are a detriment, and it feels a bit small, like the robot was good but the alt mode needed to be voyager sized. But he is an alright figure, though I recommend Barricade as the best of wave 1.

I was gonna get Berserker just for his predator robot mode anyways but probably when i find him cheaper. I like Barricade a lot especially since being told his backpack can be taken off and used like a riot shield but my fave of wave 1 is easily Optimus Prime. Only niggle I have with him is kinda tricky to get the front panels of the truck all lined up but I mostly have him in robot mode anyways and I'm quite enjoying painting up extra and correct details on him and awaiting the hopefully inevitable reprolabels for all those missing robot mode flames.

So this "poster" mentions Cybertron could also Transform.

Does this mean that Cybertron is the planet in the trailers? Could also be a reason why it looks Different in 2007 compared to DOTM

I wonder how much articulation he has. Probably not a lot.

I was initially going to make fun of this but then i realized it may ACTUALLY transform into a bottle of motor oil!! Now i like it and want one.

Vulvatron will be mine.

PS- just cheked it out and filled out a bunch of false info to eventually learn the offer is only available in the States. Super lame.

Which Optimus Prime are you guys talking about?

The voyager?

Logical because it's a new mold and the only one worthy of discussion.

RAR wrote:Speaking of Movie toys - has anyone noticed how expensive Movie ROTF Leader Jetfire has gotten recently ? even ones with bits missing are going for decent prices - bit of a puzzle I thought.

Makes perfect sense since the Leader Optimus that it connects with has been rereleased a ton of times (and the best version got released this year) that many people are catching up and buying a jetfire to go with it.

Recent Images of Voyager Hound from Transformers the Last Knight have appeared on Forbidden Planet's listings show a slight change in his deco. Both in the robot mode and vehicle mode, we can see that the Red Cross emblem has been removed. We do not know if this is to due to an anticipated license that did not go through or Red Cross calling it out or Hasbro just being preventive. We do know that he has this emblem in the movie so this is toy specific and it now makes the toy less acurate to his screen deco.

well that sucks

The Red Cross is really overly protective of their trademark.

it almost ruins the whole figure

Bumblebee21 wrote:it almost ruins the whole figure

...how?

Interesting that they used the MP Ratchet style cross and still removed it. Too bad.

That looks terrible.

In Reprolabels we trust.

because thats one of the main things about tlk hound. and its gone now

In some of the recent trailers the updated shots of Hound also has the red cross removed from his robot mode.

So this probably is not only the toys but Hound in the film as well I knew this would happen eventually.

Yep you can bet they'll sort it. I'm keenly waiting for them to release voyager Optimus Prime flame stickers.

Thanks, I was basing my analysis on the official shots of Hound so far. I had not noticed that it was removed from the recent trailers as well.

And Bumblebee21, while it doesnt ruin the figure to me, it does take away some nice detail that broke up all the same coloured plastic.

I'm probably in the minority, but I think removing the only uses of those colors makes it look superior. The shade of green and stark white really don't mix, at least in my opinion.

after hearing what deadput said it might not make me make anymore

... Gotta be honest, from the pictures I thought this was the turbo changer. That is not the greatest deco.

Thought it was odd to give him medical symbols but then again he's probably going to do more medical work than ratchet did.

better take them out of the movie too. we dont want people to get offended.

Prowl4 wrote:Thought it was odd to give him medical symbols but then again he's probably going to do more medical work than ratchet did.

I know head canon's are not true and all but I just chalk it up to Ratchet getting rusty (literally) in his hands from age like from the MTMTE comics so he isn't as good as he used to be so I consider Ratchet to be more of a "knowledge" type doctor who tells you what your symptoms are and not as much as a physical one who saves your life.

What we do know is in movie 1 Ratchet's analysis of Bee's voicebox as well as Sam's uh pheromones, talked about the consequences of Optimus merging his Spark with the Allspark and presumably helped fix Bee's legs, In ROTF He told Jolt what to do with Optimus and Jetfire (in the novel he does the work himself) and he probably checked up on Prime after he died, In DOTM he provided analysis on Sentinel's state while on the moon with Optimus and presumably fixed Prime's arm after the movie.


So the problem isn't really that Ratceht doesn't do medical work but that most of hands on work takes place off screen and when it does it's not obvious lets hope Hound does otherwise in this movie.

griftimus prime wrote:better take them out of the movie too. we dont want people to get offended.

They are since it's absent in the more recent Trailers.

I'm personally glad their removed from the helmet since that looks weird to me but it's a shame their not on his shoulders anymore.

Well that sucks. I guess the Red Cross didn't want to be represented by a foul-mouthed bad-tempered obese robot 'nam veteran. Bloody spoilsports.

Ratchet was medically a problem. Movie 1 he had a laser point at bee,he guides ironhide's canon to the window of Sams house and says "yeah yeah yeah" when ironhide asks to take out the parents, when bees legs blew off sam called him nowhere to be seen, also he's not carrying jazz which just seems like he didn't try and gave up. Movie 2 particularly in the desert he just watches jetfire kill himself without even offering to help not to mention when prime dies his first thought is let's go off world. Movie 3 again he's more interested in shooting things up.

Hound and ratchet are looking to be similar in that they don't care about being an actual medic and are more interested in shooting things up.

What was wrong with the laser pointer it was a medical tool?

Starscram and Brawl were attacking the group at that point I don't think Ratchet had time to check on Bee and Ironhide is carrying Jazz because he is the stronger of the two and it's obvious he tried because Ironhide himself said "We couldn't save him" so that means he obviously tried plus it seems obvious Megatron instantly killed Jazz since he is never shown moving around and he looks pretty dead dangling in Mega's hands lifelessly.

Jetfire chose to kill himself that was his own damn choice he wanted to sacrifice himself plus Scroponok did quite the number on Jetfire so he was probably dying you know from having more then his side being destroyed.

When did Ratchet show interest in shooting things up in DOTM?

Never that's when

Hey Will not sure if you care but this dude is copying your news post and posting it on another site without giving you credit.

And posting it in an unrelated thread as well weirdly enough.

Went through the image galleries and I was a bit incorrect.

Their not gone in the recent trailer but they are color edited to be dark green but it's still removed from the helmet it seems.

I did not notice this earlier cause I'm near sighted and have a bit of minor color blindness to some greens and only saw the cross now that I'm looking at it closely and not in a moving image.



Edit: in other news I can say for sure that the "planet" is Cybertron since we got the honeycombs everywhere and that poster for the Toys R Us Cybertron thing mentions that Cybertron transforms as well.

wonder why there is no lisence on barricade

is he an actual car in the movie or a custom type car

Bumblebee21 wrote:wonder why there is no lisence on barricade

In the movie he's an actual Ford Mustang GT500 Police Type.

The toy however looks like a mix between the 2017 Dodge Charger Police Pursuit version and the Ford Police Interceptor but not the actual Mustang in the Movie.

Charger Pursuit


Ford Interceptor


Barricade Toy


Barricade Movie


The toy is ambiguous enough of a car to not require a license from anyone. It's definitely not a Mustang, but not a Charger or the Interceptor either.

interesting. thanks overcracker

This is stupid. Like they didn't get the logo from somewhere else. Cross. Uh... Romans invented that. Red. Blood, right? You know, like Jesus? Ok, so the cross looks more Greek Orthodox, but seems like the J man kind of made it popular as a symbol. Maybe I'm wrong, but if they already copied someone else they got no reason to moan over it?

I mean, you think people looking at "thing with red cross helps me" would be something they like. "Oh, I'm hurt! I should get the box with the red cross on it!" So like, in real life don't people get help from the Red Cross? Makes no sense to me. I think I'd want people going after my symbol. I'd want people to see it everywhere, knowing "hey, that's what you go to for help!" I ain't the brightest bulb, but I think they're just dumb for acting like that.

If you aren't the brightest bulb, they're branding and marketing department(s) must be the burnt out bulbs that somehow got put back in the box.

Barricade and Road Block are finally on the beat together.




The entire Bronzewolf police force. (Side note, Barricade and legend class groove work REALLY good together)

Found all the wave 1 deluxes at retail, so being the impulsive person I am I picked up Berserker - I want at least one minion for Megatron when I get him. I really wish he didn't have rubber parts for his hands, shoulder spikes, dreadlocks AND weapons - since it's getting warmer I'm really concerned about their longevity - and his vehicle mode is a huge pain to tab together. On the other hand, his robot mode looks really cool and has a nice range of movement, so I'll probably keep him in that mode most of the time. I do want to paint him and bring out those little details like I will with voyager Prime, and I'll post some pictures when I do.

If they're going to remove the cross then at the very least they could have given Hound regular Autobot symbols. Or as pointed out above the green crosses in the movie would have looked pretty nice.

But that's the whole point of the Red Cross symbol, to be highly visible and instantly recognizable from a distance. It should contrast with the rest of the colors.

Thanks, but it doesnt matter, there isnt anything or anyone to credit really. These pics dont belong to me or anyone else. Its just a fact that I am sharing and that this person is now sharing.

Seriously, if I was the Red Cross, I wouldn't want movie bound to wear it, either. The image of hound with all those weapons, grenades, and cigars doe st ring I'm a medic or I'm coming to save you. Maybe hound from the G1 cartoon fits better. Don't know if Red Cross agrees to the old character then got new movie hound without them knowing
