It begins. With New York Comic Con 2016 underway in the Big Apple, we have our first official product from the upcoming Paramount movie Transformers: The Last Knight, due in cinemas in summer 2017. The news comes from the Hollywood Reporter, who unveil the latest voice-changing helmet from Hasbro, of course modelled after the latest incarnation of Optimus Prime, though all we have so far is a simple image mirrored below. Stay tuned for more to come, possibly during the livestream from New York!

Transformers fans who have spent years wishing that they could roll out just like Autobot leader Optimus Prime get some good news this New York Comic Con, with Hasbro unveiling an Optimus Prime Voice Changer Helmet at the event to tie-in with next year's Transformers: The Last Knight release.

The helmet, which features 21 button-activated sounds and phrases from Transformers lore, will not be available until Spring 2017 but fans can see it in action — and more importantly, hear it in action as part of the #NYCCLive livestream at 1:15 p.m. ET Thursday.

The Voice Changer Helmet — the most sophisticated yet released by Hasbro — is the first announced collectible for next year's The Last Knight movie, which is currently in production for a June 23, 2017 release. Perhaps one of its phrases might explain what Optimus is doing hanging out with dragons in early promotional images for the movie…

New York Comic Con runs through Oct. 9 at the Javits Center and other locations in New York City.

TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT OPTIMUS PRIME Voice Changer Helmet

(Ages 6 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $79.99/Available: Spring 2017)

“Autobots, we are here… and we are waiting…” These epic words from OPTIMUS PRIME have inspired millions of TRANSFORMERS fans from around the globe to join the cause and fight for the freedom of all sentient beings. Now fans can issue the AUTOBOT call to arms themselves with the TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT OPTIMUS PRIME Voice Changer Helmet. This First Edition helmet leads the charge as the debut collectible for TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT, allowing fans to don the helmet and change their own voice into the iconic intonation of OPTIMUS PRIME. In addition to the power commanding OPTIMUS PRIME voice feature, the helmet comes loaded with 21 button-activated TRANSFORMERS sounds and phrases, including a screaming Cybertronian battle riff. Requires 3 AA batteries, not included. Available at most major retailers nationwide and on HasbroToyShop.com.

Whoa. I really hope that's the packaging they use for the figures, because that looks awesome.

Looks awesome! The paint used on the helmet & the detailing looks great.

What's even more eye-captivating is the new look of the packaging. Glad that :HASBRO:

managed to take note of the cheaply-designed packaging & changed it to look more movie-esque, and they did it with this one! :APPLAUSE:

It looks cool! Hope they use this kind of package design for The Last Knight toys & the merchandise. However, let's wait for the movie figures to reveal themselves & check out their paint schemes, especially the recently revealed TLK Voyager Class Optimus Prime: great design & 100% movie accurate but cheap paint job...

Looks very cool. I still wear my 2007 Prime helmet from time to time. Did a video game stream from my PS4 playing Transformers: Devastation while wearing the helmet. It did get bloody hot in there though.

Heartily seconded! That image of Optimus on the front is spectacular, and the red and black details remind me of the first movie packaging, which was great!

Helmet does look good, even looks to be accurately painted compared to the character image on the box. It also just goes to enforce how the Voyager Optimus Prime figure has far too much blue on its head.

The sculpt of the helmet looks really good, but man is there a LOT of gray on it.

Is it just me or does the packaging scream RotF?

Seibertronians Whirlkick and Stuartmaximus have given us word that the Optimus Prime Voice Changing Helmet, which has been spotted at American stores online, has made its way to the store shelves of the UK! Both sightings occurred at a Smyths Store, and the sighting that included a price has it set at £79.99 (99 USD). Check out the images below providing proof of the sightings, and start your hunt for the new voice changing helmet!

In a whole round of new imagery, we have a fair chunk of products from Australian online retailer Polymorph games which are officially licensed, and tied in to the Transformers: The Last Knight movie line - though also feature some more traditional designs, for Optimus in particular. The caps, mugs, tumblers, socks, and t-shirts show art for Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, newcomer Sqweeks and more, and can be seen below - more details on the products here!

How is a voice-changing helmet NOT a toy? Is it meant for serious business?

Have you bought a TLK Optimus Prime Voice Changer Helmet yet? Well, a certain someone seems to have gotten their hands on one! Michael Bay posted on Instagram a picture of him wearing the helmet (mirrored below) with the caption

You better believe I bought it!!

Here's the photo of Michaelmus Prime (Bayimus Prime?), tell us in the forums if you've channeled your inner Optimus and picked one up!

We've seen it in the UK.
We've seen it online. We've seen it on Michael Bay's head. But now, finally, we've seen it on US store shelves! Thanks to Scottimus Prime, we've got photographic proof and confirmation that the Transformers 5: The Last Knight Optimus Prime Helmet at the ThinkGeek store in Long Island, New York, for $79.99! Check out the photos below!

I'm really confused as to who found these in the store?

Is there any way to let me know who the responsible person or organization is that found these toys?

This mystery is too much for me. I need marketing and branding to make sure I fully understand who found these toys. >:oP

Lol. Maybe he's just making sure there's no confusion as to where the bounty money should be sent, in the event that anyone offered money for a picture of merchandise. But I find the idea someone feels the need to claim toy sightings as property equally hysterical.

They don't seem to have done anything 'new' with this OP Movie 5 helmet beyond the colors and sculpting (and even the sculpting doesn't look all that different). It still says the same phrases and has the same sound effects and voice alteration. So I'll just keep on using my perfectly good Movie3 version, which I picked up in Ross for only $8, thanks....

Need some weapons to go with your brand-new Optimus Prime Role Play Helmet? Well, Entertainment Earth might have you covered come this July, as two new listings have appeared in their site, one for a new Optimus Prime Sword, and another for a Bumblebee Cannon! The sword looks to be a redeco of the one released with Age Of Extinction, and although we don't know what the cannon looks like yet, it's safe to assume it will also be the same as it's AOE counterpart. Check out the photo below!

The other set of images from UK retailer Wind Design comes in the form of Transformers: The Last Knight's RC Sqweeks toy, in which we see box and toy (both stock images) and more info about the character's apparently musical/dance proclivities. Check it out below, and compare to our first report of him here!

Imagine jumping into Transformers: The Last Knight action with this Autobot Sqweeks RC figure.

Autobot Sqweeks is the smallest of his fellow bots, but his spark shines just as bright. Despite being in disrepair, Autobot Sqweeks perseveres, perpetually motivated to help all living beings.

Autobot Sqweeks RC features motion and sound effects that will inspire fans to want to shout “Chihuahua,” like the loveable Autobot Amigo.

Prepare this Autobot Sqweeks RC figure for battle by switching him into blaster mode with a movie-inspired blaster accessory. Or activate an energetic boogie-down with music and phrases in dance mode.

Transformers are making their return Toy Vending machines across Japan this July! Thanks to Tamara Tomy Arts, some main Last Knight characters will be embodied in non-Transforming, dog tag-style metal necklaces! The characters include Optimus, Megatron, Sqweeks, Bumblebee, and some autobot and decepticon symbols. Check out the photo below and tell us if you spot these out in the wild!

Ah, the ponderous rabbit hole that is Taobao, always presenting the weirdest tie-in products we've ever seen. Today on the Chopping block is an appropriately strange Transformers line of L'oreal and Clear brand Shampoo and face soap. Check out the images from the listing.

Let us know if you see any of these at retail!

That would be funny if pulled off right.

Our old friend Scottimus Prime and his Toy Hunter Productions have found a new piece of Transformers The Last Knight merch in the form of a poster! It was found at the Long Island, New York Wal-Mart for $4.98. It features what we believe to be new art of Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and Sqweeks with the catchphrase "We Bring The Awesome". Check out the photos of the new poster below!

Although unlikely, there is a small chance this poster is unlicensed, but we have no confirmation that this is true.

From Camino International and via Toys Zone D, we have a reveal of another Transformers: The Last Knight product, though this time not really intended for younger fans or toy audiences: Bluetooth music Speaker heads with lights and sound! The sculpts range from Optimus Prime to Megatron, via Bumblebee and Sqweeks for the mini-Bluetooth speakers, plus another 'human sized' Optimus Prime (for that face loving action) version, and can be seen in both the images and video included below.

Instagram user cj_thenerd has posted some pictures of new posters from Transformers The Last Knight. The first one features Hot Rod in an action pose with his name in bright red. The other is a group picture of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Swqeeks "bringing the awesome". These were found at Wal-Mart for 4.98.

If you'd like a closer look at the poster of the trio see this article.
