Transformers: The Last Knight Deluxe Megatron and Decepticon Nitro Toys Revealed

Me thinks Nitro is Megatron's cosell, so he's a Deluxe as well.

And Hasbro has reached a new low, unless it's an exclusive of course.

WHAAAAAAAAT!? A REDECO OF IDW MEGATRON?!

I never got the original, so sign me up!

Nitro looks like Soundwave. Just sayin.

As in retool/redeco or just similar looks?

I have all versions of the mould so far, so I guess I have to get this one too

Nitro looks neat. I am loving the cons right now for some reason so he will be picked up. Need some good movie cons on the shelf, and this movie is doing them justice! I am finally majorly collecting when we get some good cons!

That Megatron: well, I can now say I will be buying 3 different size classes of him. I don't have that mold yet, so maybe this is the man upstairs telling me it's time

so many repaints in this line. a lot of money will be saved.

Not just by Hasbro, amiright?

What I find interesting ... so much Megatron. Where's the Optimus Prime figures?

-prays silently to Primus that Nitro is the Aston Martin we saw on set, and we are actually getting a toy of him-

I mean, C'mon. With a name like Nitro, it has to be a car.

Plus he's silver.

And has a little bit of shell-forming right under his waist, ala Crosshairs...

Oh, that Megatron looks nice. I quite enjoy the stealth bomber mold so this is pretty cool to me!

I don't know, but I am loving the Megatron figures. I gots me lots of Prime (and I'm still not sure if I really want to get the voyager) so some Megatron love is in order.

Plus, that new head is awesome looking and I want that mold

griftimus prime wrote:so many repaints in this line. a lot of money will be saved.

Yeah. I know that development and production time for figures is probably much longer than it takes to slap together another of this junk movies, but maybe they should slow down and let at least one of the two things develop some quality.

Ffhhhhhhh...while I really want that bomber Megs mold...I want the original version. This looks cool too, but the leader Megs is top priority. Hopefully we get some more home run figures like him in this line.

The shockwave looking con is Nitro the details match up 100% such as the human missiles on his shoulders and the turbines.



It's not the Cogman because Cogman is the Aston Martin character's actual name said so by Bay himself who also confirms Cogman is a headmaster.

Plus Nitro has no car parts like at all.

Nitro Superior, Megatron Inferior

Which Megatron though? Because honestly, the TLK Megatron that was revealed at NY Toy Fair is one of the most superior TF's out there!

That Leader Megatron looks amazing. I was worried about the head sculpt looking a bit daft, but then I saw it had a faceplate feature.

Instant buy.

Nitro's inferior.

RAR wrote:I'm starting to wonder if has-tak have lost the Hungrr mould now - as when you look at those limbs - most of them have had repeated repaints and yet they are rather ungenerous about repainting the left arm and Torso.

Sounds unlikely, Hun-Gurrr has only been used three times (original, translucent, and TFGo! Dorara) while the Rippersnaper mold has been used a shocking eight times with TLK. If any mold should be worn out it's that one.

Now that they're using that mold for movie line figures... I wonder if they're finally give some money to Don for designing it....

I think the new torso actually improves the proportions significantly. They're taking cues from Combiner Wars with different sized parts.

Does Don even care anymore?

Deluxe

I'm actually liking all these other-line-repaints because it reminds me of how they done that in the first couple of movie lines. A back-to-form to a line that expansive and full of awesome new takes on old molds (and as a way to get those molds again if you missed out the first time) would be AMAZING, especially since these all seem supplementary rather than the only option for the character like with AOE Voyager Drift.

I figured that although combiner wars ended, a new way of making combiners had emerged. Once the Prime trilogy ends (not that I do or don't want it to), I figure we'll see the occasional combiner pop up here and there. Hopefully they can get the hands and feet better, though. Packing specialized ones with Voyager class toys would be just as unrestrictive (although it would throw prices around).

Anyway, enough of that.

I think you could be right. The toy's face is rather blurred.

I didn't actually know that. Good to know that that would be his name on any product. Huh.

Also, yeah, I know, but a guy can dream.

Not if these are exclusives.

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:And Hasbro has reached a new low.

Is this really lower than rereleasing that AOE deluxe Bee with less paint at a higher price due to fancier packaging? I actually find this megatron at least has more effort put into him with the attention to detail and the new head (its new right?). Plus, I like what they did with the accessory, looks way better than how it was done for Dreadwing.

Your not gonna get the other megatrons? That legion looks pretty cool too.

Bronzewolf wrote:I mean, C'mon. With a name like Nitro, it has to be a car.

But he has air vehicle parts.

that's Galvatron accurate...

Huh. That Megatron's an odd choice, looks pretty good but odd. Nitro is a little to blurry but he doesn't look bad at all.

Eh, hadn't paid him much thought. I generally don't go legion unless it is the only way to get the character (and RiD has really made that class fun for me)

I'm not gonna multiquote them all but if you think that Megatron is an odd choice, recall that AoE Strafe was released in that line using a Beast Wars mold from 1996.

Except that was an exclusive: main line figures are hardly ever redecos/retools of toys that old (that's also why I added "unless it's an exclusive").

Similar looks. Especially in the face. And the color.

Wouldn't put it past Hasbro to reuse the ROTF Soundwave mould. This line seems like a 'greatest hits' thing with all its repaints.

FOC Kickback with speakers and frog feet on his back. That's Nitro that is.

Mr O wrote:FOC Kickback with speakers and frog feet on his back. That's Nitro that is.

Doesn't look like it to me. Comparing photos, this looks more like a new mould.

Nitro looks awesome, at least from this tiny shot we have of him. He'll probably be getting a new name (Black Hat is slave to NO continuity!) but he will be mine. Probably.

Megatron...hmm. I've wanted to try out that mold for a while, I just wish it were bigger, and I really hope they've fixed the floppiness problems with it. Like all these toys he'll probably be getting a new name and identity in my collection.

Nitro looks interesting.

Easy pass on Deluxe Megatron. Not sure why it's being used here.

So, from what I've seen of TLK:
Buys:
Scorn

Maybes:
Infernocus
Steelbane
Leader Dragonstorm (depends on how he looks)

I may get that Megatron, thought I have to think on who I'll repurpose him in my Classics shelf.

I've been looking recently to replace my IDW bomber Megatron that I sent along a few months ago, this guy shall be the replacement!! I wasn't sure if I was gonna get in to the movie figures, but there is no way I can pass these awesome representations of Megatron up!!

Still may have to get that Shadow Optimus..dang it Bayverse!!

Interesting that Dlx Megs has a new mould tusked head on him.

I have to chuckle a bit I was want to complain that the Dinbots were candy colours and looked like Dino-sentai (as Emgo calls them) but now I look at a whole line of mostly Gray and I really miss the colour now.

I hope the Bumblebee-Movie toyline has some colour in it (and not just yellow).

It seems a little deranged to make the whole line in shades of gray when you think about it - look at ROTF the characters were all sorts of colours then - why not now ?

I guess I should blame Bay for being colour phobic on some characters. even characters who are not grey like Hound look kinda washed out. Even Drift is partly Black, Hotrod in 85% Black too - Megatron has no colour to speak of on him either so he kinda looks generic. even the dragon is dark grey.

Now as I said I do appreciate the more subtle tones on the Dinobots and the Wei Jiang Black Knight OS KO Dinobots are absolutely on my to buy list this year. But really #TransformersSoGray.

It is kinda the main problem with the aesthetic and realistic alt-modes imo. I'm not all 'GEEWUN IS 100% BETTER', but when they do those G1-themed repaints of the movie toys (like how the first movie done a repaint of Jazz in his old whites and stripes), I just find they look so much better because they've suddenly got a lot of colour and vibrancy to them. Of course a lot of that is just my personal aesthetic taste, but I find it a bit better than a ton of washed-out grey robots blending into each other. I'll take that red scorn over the grey Takara repaint any day
It does work for some though. Infernocus makes it WORK

Thanks to Seibertronian Autobot N and weibo user 变形金刚改造工厂的淘宝店 we have yet another potential Last Knight figure for you to check out. As we previously showed you, the line is set to release a Demon Combiner and yet another Megatron (not that we're complaining), and it seems we will get another new figure in the form of Skullitron! Skullitron is a repaint and slight retool of the Steelbane deluxe figure we saw revealed at Toy Fair. We still have yet to figure out if these newly revealed figures are potential exclusives or actual wide-spread releases, but they are bringing some cool ideas to the table! Check out the image below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

I love the absolute plethora of ridiculous edgy names we're getting. Skullitron, Thrash, Infernocus... it's not even movie edgy or anything, it's like... it's like if you gave superhero names to metal bands. I friggin' love this

No idea where all these new guys are coming from, but this is the first I'm not interested in. I have no interest in Steelbane, and no interest in this retool.

However, going off Autobot N, here is my updated list of needs and desires from the line.

Definite buy:
Deluxe: Sqweeks, Barricade, Beserker, New Bee, Megatron
Voyager: Scorn, Megatron
Leader: Megatron
Combiner: Infernocus

Maybes:
Deluxe: Nitro (depends on full reveal)
Voyager: Hound, Prime
Leader: Dragotron (depends on looks)

He was tweeting the hell out of a transformer named Thrash within an hour of the reveal
