Not to mention all those blatant hack job brush strokes all over the armor. It's a total garbage paint job. It's shockingly bad actually.

The voyager is pretty good but he is a bit kibble heavy in both modes with piece from one mode trying to hide in the other one and faling (lik the wings in robot mode and shoulders/pecs in vehicle mode.
But hes good and I like his integrated arm cannon.
Hound is fine but I dont know if I like him better than the previous one. He is far more of a shellformer this time with more alt mode kibble stuck around the robot mode. The articulation for the legs is very restricted. But not a bad figure by any means, just not overly imaginative (like the previous one). Looks more like Hound though, so there's a plus. Not sure if I should do a pictorial review, have we seen enough of these guys?

Walmart-exclusive?? So Hot Rod is only available at Walmart OR this version of him?
Every Hot Rod toy from this film, even the non transforming cars, can only be purchased at Walmart in the US.

You can see images of these toys in their packages below. They were found by TFW2005 member vproject. Legion Dragonstorm and Hound were also found in this store and you can view reviews of those two legions here if you are interested. There is currently no review for these newly revealed one steps so if any of you find some online, let us know!

I think that's the point.
He's supposed to be old, rusted, and decayed. The entire point is he looks damaged. Its intentional. This is also an extreme closeup. In reality the paint on the face should probably look fine to naked eye, disfigured sure, but that's the point.
It gets across the disfigurement he's suffered. He's not supposed to have a nice pristine face.

I noticed that too.
Nice to have another One step dino though in the form of Scorn.
Strange that I've yet to see a single "Baby Dinobot" bit of merchandise - not even a stuffed one.

I was perplexed by how different Nitro is in the Movie the toy certainly IS Not a Saab Fighter jet like he seems to be in the Movie.
(If that is Nitro in the Movie).

hey rainmaker, you mention a card that connects to form a biger image for the mission to cybertron toys. Could you show us a picture of that card for both skullitron and megatron? I dont think we have ever seen it.
I don't have Megatron yet, but Skullitrons card piece is part of the word Transformers
Can you take a pic and show us what that looks like?
I can't because I've exchanged him already for Berserker
But I'm probably gonna get him again

But that covers like 50% of the toys that should be based on licenced vehicles. Saying the premiere line is the only one with licenced vehicles becomes quite the hyperbole.
Plus we have no clue what Berserker is really supposed to be or even if he is in the film. So his one step could be just as legit as his deluxe if he doesnt exist.
Also, I am now wondering if Sqweeks has a mercedes trademark on all his premiere line stuff only because his cross sell is Drift
If he has a mercedes trademark on everything linked to him, but isnt a mercedes, does that make him still licenced?

Not really, I traded a bot with a good robot mode, annoying transformation and a mediocre alt mode for a bot with a good robot mode, annoying transformation and a mediocre alt mode
Also, yes

One of the main prerequisites of licensing is having the logo present on the toy itself, molded or otherwise. RiD 2001 Side Burn had the Dodge Viper logo tampoed on almost every version of the mold upon US release for instance. Coupled with the Mercedes info on Deluxe Class Sqweeks' packaging, that leads to a small amendment to my original statement.
Licensing info has to be exact, taking into account every single appearance, be it in physical form, or via images. It's the latter that creates some unusual occurrences:
- The Western Star and Chevrolet info on the Tiny Turbo Changers baggies is not just because of the toys themselves, rather Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are proudly displayed on them, plus more importantly their vehicle modes, logos and all. The individual instructions don't show that info unless the figure is either Optimus Prime or Bumblebee.
- Mercedes-Benz info on Sqweek's packaging? This is where vanity is kind of a bad thing, as their logo is prominently displayed on his cross sell Drift's chest in stock images.
To pull things back a bit, I still find it odd that the Turbo Changer Optimus Prime and Bumblebee toys all seem to be licensed, yet the rest of the range is not, even if the Premier Edition version is.

Just got and opened the Voyager Megatron.
And damn, I love this figure already. Articulation is great, transformation is fun and jet mode looks good too.

Many of those are falling victim to the desire to put some breathing space between TLK & Bee's Movie - but I wasn't so much thinking of the regular toys as much as the Baby Dinos seem to be designed to hype them as does Dragonstorm - so where are the baby Dino or Dragonstorm stuffed toys etc... If I was 8 I'd want a T-shirt with a Transforming dragon on it I expect.

I feel like a lot of the TLK have a cheap look, especially the one steps and legions. Do you guys think it's the same as previous movie lines or is it worse in this regard

Hasbro, if you're reading this: There's more to weathering than taking brown and wiping it on the figure. Poor Sqweeks looks like he's been used as toilet paper.

This review is far from ideal though since the comparison of the robot mode to Lockdown's is done with Lockdown still in his box. Still, we have a great series of photos showing all comparisons to both toys if that is what you are seeking.

There is a bumblebee deluxe variant which has more black paint in the alt mode

He does, the torso. Its enough of an alt mode for most Power Ranger or Voltron toys. He just so happens not to be a triple changer unlike the others. But yeah I know what you mean.

in transformers fandom, a torso mdoe isn't considered as a real alt mode.
i honestly not too big on infernocus. i get the appeal and why many people would love him, just that it doesn't work that well on me. this combiner finally has a coherent color throughout, compared to the other variants, which is a good thing, and the fact that they give him new mold for the torso bot. but the fact that the torso bot don't have actual alt mode bummed me, especially when all the limb guys did. it just feels incomplete. therefore, i don't think i will pick him up.
but then again, i've been wrong many times before, and ended up picking up things that i said i won't, so, who knows.

You can suspend disbelief and pretend all day long about anything you want it to be but nothing changes the fact that its a terrible paint job. Not just on the face but on the armor as well.That sloppy mess of a ham handed attempt at paint application destroys any of the details designed into the head sculpt with big fat blobs of green paint. At the price they're asking these days for these figures i'd expect a lot more effort into the details. It looks more like cheap dollar store knock off garbage.
