Transformers: The Last Knight Voyager Figures Spotted at Universal Studios Hollywood

Wondering who's buying Nitro just to put the Siege on Cybertron Thunderwing Titan Master on it.

Great idea!

But please stop giving me even more reasons to empty my wallet.

Found on facebook, here's pic of the backside of cogman's box, showing his headmaster too.

40... dollars...

That is quite literally almost double what they used to be. Stop it, Hasbro.

It's not a Hasbro thing, it's a Universal thing. When I went there a few years ago, Deluxes were around $25. I don't know why they'd have to jack up the price so much.

Also, found on tfw005 site, here is a picture of skullitron in package. His color looks more significantly different from steelbane here.

Making him a Titan Master really is a neat feature that Hasbro/Takara didn't have to do but did anyways

It's a theme park thing in general. Prices for goods and services offered within theme parks tend to be higher priced in general because it's expected for theme park visitors to be spending large sums of money at theme parks anyway.

Back when Once Upon a Toy at Disney Springs (formerly Downtown Disney) used to have a Transformers section, their prices were jacked up as well. $40 Cybertron Leader class toys were instead $45, for instance.

Figures look great but how come no mini human figures? There are so many humans in the movie. With the new fast and furious line with posable 1/32 scale figure why not make some of the movie characters too. Even slightly smaller than 1/32. Would make it so much more fun..

Sure Cogman is a headmaster

Just wanna say if Leader Megatron is too big and/or expensive for you then I certainly do recommend Voyager Megatron. Just got mine an hour ago and I love it. Feels very solid in both forms and everything tabs together securely. Very happy with it.

How was the transformation?

Kurona wrote:How was the transformation?

Easy but satisfying and enjoyable. I think I only got a bit confused about how the arms tuck in but figured it out without the instructions anyways.

Fellow Seibertronian Bacem has found some more awesome pics for us regarding the Transfomrers: the Last Knight Toyline. They are shots of Cogman and Skullitron packaging. For Cogman, we see the back of his box which shows the Titan Master and we can see that he has the added functionality of being able to drive his transtector in vehicle mode. For Skullitron, we see the finished toy in box showing that the mission to Cybertron toys will have a box very similar to the mainline toys but with a Mission to Cybertron logo at the bottom. He has far more vibrant colours than what the renders have shown, which once again proves we shouldnt pass judgement on just the renders.
these were all found on the same Weibo page, which also had shots of Nitro's instructions and CG box art. Enjoy!

*writes news story*

Edit: Holy crap, cannot catch a news break today

Well I guess I'll be grabbing Cogman as well now. I never get movie figures except a couple but this line is just getting better and better

Cogman will be so much fun. hopefully he has a good connector.

The more I'm looking at them both, a Nitro figure could be the closest thing to a voyager class Thunderwing I will settle for at least for the foreseeable future. That's the size I wanted him at (deluxe too small, leader too big, i like Marvel Thunderwing). I intend to get Siege on Cybertron set anyways for Magnus Prime and I'll keep the Thunderwing head to put on Nitro (haven't decided if i'll have two Nitros) and paint some bits of the body to match (he's mostly a similar grey/silver anyways, just needs a bit of blue or purple or whatever). The other three figures in SoC can go on eBay.

I don't care for the movie toys, but I think I'll get this one. Another body for the dozens of extra heads they've given us would be nice.
Now watch as they change the connector.

Not sure if it is just me, but I can easily see an Energon Hot Shot retool from TLK Cogman, as they are both similar types of Aston Martin vehicles, and all it would need is a few things changed and a new Decoration ...

I actually was looking at the design last night and it reminded me of Cybertron hot shot, with the shoulders and arm design

But we already got a hotshot in AOE

That was a movie-verse Tracks, let's not kid ourselves

Can someone point me to why Nitro apparently makes a decent Thunderwing? I'm really not seeing it...

Yeaaah im buying that Primus (since i NEVER HAD ONE ) , Is that a Megatron Redeco on the right, i can't remember which toyline he is from?

It's Tank Megatron from Takara's Transformers: United toyline, the first Japanese counterpart to Hasbro's Transformers: Generations toyline that began in 2010. His deco is a direct homage to Hero Megatron from the Transformers: Generation 2 toyline.

I prefer to think of him as Archforce myself.

Might depend on what you'd want out of a new Thunderwing toy. Or whether you prefer Marvel's Matrix obsessed commander character (yay!) or the monster IDW one (bleh). And seeing as how it's unlikely I'll be treated with a proper new Voyager class Thunderwing anytime soon, the Nitro body with some minor repainting will do for me.

It looks more like this arms and shoulders are the back of the car not the front like hotshot

I'm just wondering about how it resembles any version of Thunderwing - again, I don't see it. Would prefer the Marvel character; dunno why Hasbro keeps referencing the IDW version when he was a bit player at best in the very very early stages of the continuity.

Kurona wrote:Can someone point me to why Nitro apparently makes a decent Thunderwing? I'm really not seeing it...

I think its due to his storm bringer design having those giant boosters in the back.





As far as a movie thudnerwing, he would be a better homage than most mosvie toys have been to their non movie counterparts.

Don't worry about it then. If I get Nitro and the SoC pack I'll have a go at making a Thunderwing for my own collection. I'm not massively fond of the face on the SoC Thunderwing TM but sometimes we just gotta go with what we can make do with to fill gaps in our collections til we get something more official and accurate

Also, Thunderwing has that habit of being a jet that doesn't look like a robot and a robot that has little jet parts. I think I may actually do that, at least try it out with Thunderwing's head on Nitro's body.

Still an awesome feature!

Yes Nitro would look like a pretty decent Thunderwing - in this case the organic design fits in well with the original's Pretender status as well as the IDW design - it would certainly be worth slotting a new-head repaint back into a future movie line as Thunderwing. Just add in some purple and green accents and a new head - and then those who want to use it as a headmaster also have the option too.

Incidentally though he is pretty F-5 like in vehicle mode and that is likely what he's based on there is a whole bunch of European jets he also slightly resembles too.

It does appear the cabin opens though - which if a Titanmaster can sit in it - would be rather neat.


It's nice t see they are starting to find a good balance between the look of something and yet avoiding the undue complexity of ROTF toys (mostly). as toys that are a pain in the backside to Transform are no fun for most people - and fewer people seem to want a puzzle - I have enough of bad time putting up with that Trope from 3rd parties still.

Speaking of Thunderwing though - Hasbro's Astrotrain is also a pretty decent body for him too.

Hasbro confirmed a titanmaster can sit there.

Hadn't even thought of that probably cos I try erase IDW Thunderwing from my mind (faaar too kibbly). But yes those booster thingies do look similar. I just doodled some very basic colour blotches on the Nitro pic to see where I'd like to paint Thunderwing-like details on. It won't be perfect but it can suffice. Anyways I'm gonna go play with voyager Megatron some more then i gotta go help with set stuff for the play I'm in (ugh it's a full weekend of rehearsals too... if only I was getting paid... ) I'll unsubscribe from here for now til cool new TLK toy news appears in the news page thingy so i won't get all them notifications.

HAVE FUN EVERYBODY!!!

Just make sure you remember your friends here when you end up at the Baftas!

Our very own Scotty P wrote a great wrap up about what was learnt from the Google Hangout with Hasbro. To add images to it, our friend Ben, from BWTF, took images of what was discussed with the following people:

John Frazier - Senior Brand Development + Marketing Manager, Transformers

Ben Montano - Brand Marketing Director, Transformers

John Warden - Design Manager, Transformers

Aristides “Arrow” Membreno - Design Manager, Transformers

The images blurry since this was a call on the computer but we can still make out some cool aspects like Cogman's open dashboard which seats two Titan Masters and Cogman's head on Nitro. There are also shots of Infernicus, Skullitron and Hot Rod.

Enjoy!

Sure Cogman is a headmaster

First, WELCOME!

And second, nice to see Cogman is part of the Titan Return line!

I love Cogman so much right now

So, wait... Is all the Titan Master/Headmaster Cogman compatible with several of the other figures in the TLK line or is Nitro also a Titan Master/Headmaster?

Nexus Knight wrote:So, wait... Is all the Titan Master/Headmaster Cogman compatible with several of the other figures in the TLK line or is Nitro also a Titan Master/Headmaster?

Nitro has a standard head, not a headmaster. But they did design his head to use the titan master port, so you can take his nontransforming head off and replace it with a titan master. Cogman is also titan master compatible, but his head is actually a titan master too

OH MAN! That removable head gimmick AND the GI Joe inspired jet makes Nitro even COOLER! Definitely one of the few TLK toys I'm TRULY hyped about!

Also, the only thing to complete my being absolutely correct about Nitro is if his cockpit fits a titanmaster as well. I feel good about myself.

Methinks Nitro will lose his head in the new movie...

Ugh the box art has Nitro use the Ksi Boss body and head but not his own.

Since we've finally got decent pictures, I figured an updated comparison was needed.

Kurona wrote:Since we've finally got decent pictures, I figured an updated comparison was needed.

Cool he does match up quite a bit with the cgi model although kinda strange Nitro has a more unique toy head compared to the straight up Shockwave head he has in the movie.

I did not use the first picture for comparison it was just the first picture I could find on google images of just Nitro.

I don't get the mix of heads. My guess is that since the CGI design has Shockwave's head and the KSI drone has a different head, that they decided to design the toy as kinda a mix. Who knows though. His head might transform to look like that for all we know. Some kinda battle mode.

Or maybe that's the final head and the one we see in trailers is just an early placeholder or the original.

I think that one is unlikely but it's just another theory/guess.

Spent yesterday fangirling over these new reveals. Nitro and Cogman are definite must buys for me, especially since i love the Titan Master gimmick.

Thanks to podcast superstar, Razorclaw, we now know of some beautiful new packaging found on the Snakas Blog. These are all the upcoming Legion Walmart exclusives from Transformers: The Last Knight. You can see the Autobots Unite logo on the boxes. One super cool news though is that the blog post says the Voyager Optimus toy is a "targeted exclusive", which tells me we finally know which toy will be exclusive to Target. There are three Legion Class 2 packs: Bumblebee & Hot Rod (in a different deco to the individual legion), Optimus Prime & Ravenspar, Megatron & Berserker.

Kurona wrote:Can someone point me to why Nitro apparently makes a decent Thunderwing? I'm really not seeing it...

I just figured it was simply because Nitro is currently the only Titan Master-compatible figure who is predominately light gray, has a robot mode design that doesn't resemble any of the more recognizable non-Thunderwing characters, and turns into a similarly-colored jet-like aircraft.
