Transformers: The Last Knight Premier Edition Grimlock Images, Slash Deco Seen

Not to mention Two-step mega Bumblebee and Legend/legion Bumblebee

That would be the DotM Cyberverse Legion Class Bumblebee, if I'm not mistaken. So in short with a penchant for drawing conclusions, half of the line will be redecos: 2 out of the 4 Deluxes, and 1 out of 2 Voyagers.

Decepticon Berserker??? Now that sounds interesting.

Skip back a few pages and you will see more pics of that toy and of Barricade and others too.

Slash seems like a nice enough deco.

As I have said before what I'd like to see is the toys that were missing from the previous boxed sets to be made in the appropriate colours to fill in some of those gaps. So that would be things like a G1 deco Slash and Scorn for example.

If you go pocking about on the internet you can see the pre-production art for Slash and they provide a number of colour options since at one point there was going to be multiple Slash dinos as minions of Scorn if each was a slightly different deco that would have been nice to see.

$20.00 is a bit to expensive to make so many frivolous repaints though.

Especially as there's nothing premium about them, this way you just pay top-dollar to get hideously un(/under)painted figures sooner

Even the box art for that Bumblebee isn't based on his new mode, it's a straight copy of his DOTM form. Perhaps that'll be his mode early in the movie?
My hope may be restored for a better Bumblebee figure down the road

Yeah, the whole "Hey, Bumblebee is old again" thing still confuses me. Does he like his old mode more or something? Since this is all about the "Knights" of Cybertron, why wouldn't he keep his more sleek, knight-like mode?

Unless that's exactly what it is! They want to subliminally define who's a knight and who's not by their robot mode, therefore, so as not to get people confused, they took Bumblebee back to his old look so he's not sleek and knight-like!

This concludes my conversation with myself.

There will always be hope for a better (or at least another) Bumblebee figure down the road. In every TF line. Forever.

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:...Or maybe they're just premier editions, or versions, of characters, when compared to the rest of the line that would have simpler transformations, like One-Steps and Power Battlers... Compare with the Generations-like Prime First Edition vs. the simpler and gimmicky Prime RiD.

Thats exactly what it is. This picture pretty much sells it:



Notice how there are other Last Knight toys, at the same development stage (finished and ready to ship) and yet they dont have that logo. The only ones with them are the deluxes, voyagers and Leader (Optimus) which were branded as Generations toys in AOE as to distinguish them from the other products for a different age group. Well since they dont want to interupt the generations line this time (as Hasbro stated in an interview), both lines will run concurrently and thus this is just a different name to distinguish these movie figures intended for an "older" audience from both the other generations line and the more kiddie toys. And the word they chose is Premier which is a play on words on the fact that its movie related (premiere) and in a similar vein to the first edition toys of before. The higher price is, as Va'al said, purely capitalism hidden in the shape of a nice box.

One thing to Zelze though, I didnt find most RID Prime toys t be gimicky, many were in the same vein as the first editions, like Wheeljack for instance. And their Optimus and Megatron were as complex as their first edition counterparts. Plus there is no denying which Vehicon toy is better

Overcracker wrote:I would wager its going to be similar to what they did with the Premium Edition figures for the 2007 Movie Line. Where certain main line figures got "premium" paint jobs.

Pretty sure you would lose that bet. There is nothing of these that indicate they are anything close to those aside from a misinterpreted word. These are coming first in the line (unlike the ones you mentioned) and they are coming as part of the standard retail line unveiled already, they are also a mix of new molds and older ones (again, unlike the idea of only being premium versions of existing molds) and lastly these arent in any way premier paint jobs, especially when you compare this bumblebee to the original. The only thing this has in common with the premium line is 5 letters.

In the end, there is 0 evidence at all that this is anything else than just your standard movie line. Toyfair may finally give us more evidence against that but for now there is none.

Yeah, shame about the weird thigh-leg ratios and the monkey arms, beast mode looks epic though

It means feeling retroactively cheated when you realize that a later release of a figure offers more or something better than the one they first gave you.

Like how this



was revealed after this guy came out



Or how these two were priced the same with the one with way more accessories came out later:

NIce silver Grimlock with red eyes. That voyager mold is one of my all time faves so I may be tempted to replace my AoE one with this updated deco.

I'm glad I'm not a kid interested in transformers... cos if I were, all these many lines would confuse me

Nice packaging... seems more compact or am I mistakenly as I can't recall the previous packaging?

Eh, that's not really the same thing. In Slash's case, sure, the new figure will probably be a better fit with the G1 style repaints in the grays and silver colors and make him more appealing, but for the other examples they're representative of different versions of the same character. If what you want is a regular blue and red Prime you aren't going to get that from the Minicon and Power Serge versions no matter how many new things they come from. It's not like the original G2 Optimus Prime made '84 Optimus Prime no longer desirable thanks to all the extra stuff. Personally I'd take TAV-21 over the remold any day. As far as those deluxe figures go, I think of it more like the Power Serge remold came with extra stuff, not as the original came with less since it comes with the same number of accessories as pretty much all of the other figures in the line.

Emerje

A vietnamese seller on facebook has the recently revealed Slash and Grimlock figures from The Transformers: Last Knight for sale, but it is a private account. TFW user Saito Satoru has access and posted the images found there. You can see both of them in their more screen accurate grey/silver decos below.





Any of you feel like double dipping?

I never bought the original slash because I didn't like the colors. So I may get this.

Loving the blue metallics on Slash.

Your so damn lucky. I also think this looks great, but the fact that I already bought the previous one makes me really ticked off that I have to buy the same toy again just to get a decent deco. You wont have to live with the guilt of noe having wasted money, you get the good stuff straight away

In my experience when I have to buy two versions of the same mold I just slap a purple autobot logo on the ugliest version And put it with the sg's.

I never got into SG, so its a little late for me to start now.

Yeah that sucks, most SG figures are expensive so it's not worth it.
My big issue is when I buy a figure and a better version of the character comes out, like evasion prime. For space reasons, I try to never own more than one version of a character.

LE0KING wrote:For space reasons, I try to never own more than one version of a character.

Character or mold? Like for instance do you only have 1 movie bumblebee toy? And only one classics Bumblebee toy? Or does the MP invalidate the rest? You got me curious.

Character. MP10V (yes I bought a ko) is my only Optimus, sold my prid prime when I got it. TR Hotrod means I won't buy the movie one that comes out this year.

I never picked up Slash either. This deco is way cool and would go ok with my ghost knight Platty set. Might have to grab this one.

I wonder if Slash is any good at guitar?

Slash was arguably the worst Deluxe figure of the AOE line. You couldn't pay me to get another.

He had so much beast mode banana feather kibble that it completely undermined the play value of the figure. In both modes.

I never owned the first toy, but I haven't seen good things about it. If they're going to rerelease Dinobot molds rather than give us new ones, why not Scorn? I own the AOE Scorn toy it's freakin' beautiful, IMO. Even the non-screen accurate color scheme felt perfect. The only compliant I have had w/ it is that the legs won't go on now, but that was more my fault (didn't get the difference between nail polish and nail polish remover on plastic at the time).

A shame the robot mode is so hindered by the fixed wrists and bizarre placement of the feathers, because I always quite liked Slash's dino mode and elements of his robot mode. Now granted I've never had the toy in hand, but I honestly thought it looked OK.

This colour scheme is nice, but I honestly preferred the seafoam and uranium colours of the old version. It gave it a real "Cybertron Jungle Planet" vibe, albeit with far less cool sculpting and paint apps.

One thing I will say is, with the overall skeletal designs, I will be mildly upset if we don't get a version of the Dinobot molds in a bone/"fossilized" colour scheme. Slog in particular would look awesome in bleached bone white or fossil brown, and it would be a rare case where that marbley plastic they like to use would actually work well.

Dont know but Randy sucks balls at wrestling, he falls to a million pieces whenever he gets smacked down.

I second that, hence why I am so pissed. I bought the mold the first time because I was super curious and wanted every new Dinobot mold. But maaaaan, this guy was rough. And now I see him in a nice deco and I wish the one I had in my collection was that one because I could never buy this toy again. Good thing the tail isnt removeable, meaning that he might end up in a thrift 5 years from now not missing too much (but who knows if I will still be hunting so firecly then).

The ONLY thing cool about this toy is how they chose to integrate the modern raptor interpretation (with feathers) into robotic form. That deserves some merit. some

I thought the same back before I got the figure.

Then I got the figure.

Now where's that stinkin' "Like" button when you need it.

I agree, Slash was the worst Deluxe and Dinobot from the last movie. I won't be getting another version of the figures from the last movie unless they drastically improve from the last movie. I may get voyager Prime and a deluxe Bee if he looks good in his new body as a toy, but otherwise, it is only new characters for me

It is worrisome that the first wave is mostly repaints.

i bought the original slash on clearance for 5 buck and was surprised at how good the figure is. Depending on price point and how the alt mode looks i may pick this up to add to my raptor army.

There's an 'unfinished' air about those dinobot figures as pictured, and which goes beyond them merely being mis-transformed or transformed hastily. Slash especially looks like they just gave up half-way through the design process. 'Oh this is too hard, let's just leave it like THIS'.

I was disappointed with the movie4 dinobots (except maybe Snarl), and so far I'm not seeing anything that makes me better disposed towards the movie5 stuff. The final releases had better come roaring out of the gate to change this first impression...

The last time we saw the Transformers: The Last Knight One-Step Barricade figure was a single photo of the toy - thanks to Instagram account TransformersCars, we have another image, but one that shows off the figure just that little bit better in terms of lighting a quality. Check it out mirrored below!

Wow, the exact same figures with no tweaking or any "real" changes. They really have hit bottom. I'm fine with my non-repaint Slug thank you.

Not sure how I feel about these redecos. On the one hand, it's nice to have movie accurate Dinobots. On the other hand, I now feel like an absolute chump for trying to find the AoE Dinobots online now. I literally just got a hold of Strafe too.

Anyways, Barricade looks pretty decent for a One Step, but I think I'm still gonna grab the Deluxe over it.

See guys, this is my exact definition of retropjip.

Sorry Bombshelldabug, but at least you can know you arent alone.

Wow repaints of the ugly Extinction figures...I am going to save sooooo much money not buying anything from this film.

From the Facebook page Transformers Perù, an excellent source recently for upcoming toylines in the Transformers: The Last Knight universe, have uploaded a couple more images showing the exact breakdown of the figures that will be on sale very soon - May 2017, if we follow the leads - with the new Paramount movie coming out this summer. Check out the images and copied out list below and note: the deluxes are still missing, but we're bound to find out more from New York Toy Fair this month!

They werent bad toys. They served their purpose and could at least transform.

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around how many Transformer characters are swapping out guns for melee weapons. I keep waiting for a scene where Optimus spends 10 minutes, running up towards Megatron, shouting and waving his sword around. And Megatron just blows his head off with his fusion cannon. Cut to close up of Megatron. 'You know, with guns you can kill opponents from a DISTANCE.' They could learn a thing or two from old Indiana Jones.

Or if shooting hero Optimus is too much, have Megatron just take flight, then show Optimus jumping up and down, swiping at empty air with his little sword. 'Hey, no fair! Come back here!'

They'll just do it like Beast Wars Season 2. Where even if your weapon is essentially a Pizza Cutter, it still somehow shoots lasers!

With Beast Wars it was a violence concern. But let's be real here, melee weapons have been prevalent in this franchise since the beginning. Sherman Dam anyone?

I think I will take up that convention of using blue text and deploy some sarcasm here :

Isn't it wonderful how they make each size so amply stocked with Bumblebee & Optimus Prime toys to buy - they've never done that before now have they.
