Video Reviews for Transformers: The Last Knight Deluxe Drift and Sqweeks

Sqweeks may be very simple and strange, but he does look like loads of fun!

Argos have TLK figures listed now in their ammendmum catalogue thingy.

I did try to buy Sqweeks but he wasn't in stock. Some errors with this page though. That's certainly not TLK Voyager Optimus Prime. And I don't think that's the right size Megatron toy shown with the Legion pricing though would be awesome if I could get that actual Megatron for that low a price. P

Jesus. Argos has had some craptacular stock images before, but that takes the cake. It's obviously DotM Voyager Prime, except...did they use a knockoff image from AliExpress or something? The sword and shield are neat though.

So I'm not being forgetful in that I can't remember an official version of that mold in that colour layout and with those weapons?

Indeed you're not. That's either a massively botched image from Hasbro or a KO.

Or a new redeco... Lemme check a certain KO site and I'll get back to you.

:EDIT: Well, nothing yet. Besides I find unlikely KO companies would send stock images like that.

Saw Scotty's riot shield thingy, tried it out myself:




It works really well actually

I'll take "previously undisclosed repaint" for 500 Alex.

With all the other repaints in TLK, It's not surprising we'd get one more of the DOTM Voyager Prime.

Your Barricade looks very purple there.

It looks cool though. Not a very cop colour but very much a Decepticon colour

Tell you what, the pictures and videos don't do the paint work on these figures justice. This Barricade has a lot of paint apps, but it's all hard to tell without holding him because it's black and navy blue. But he is sweet, and that did turn out pretty well with the colors!

and not kidding, this is the good Barricade I have wanted. Can't wait to get Bee to fight him and the 2 Megatron's to fight my 2 Primes!

I mean hey, who's to say police cars aren't purple on Cybertron?

... aside from Prowl?

Sending out a warning for everyone with Prime: Be careful of the sword storage in truck mode. Mine just got jammed up and basically snapped in half minus a few plastic strands holding it together

Really disappointed with Drift's lack of paint apps. Really, this figure would probably look great with just a few more black and gold bits on the chest/torso area, but no. Has/Tak cheaped out, again. I mean really, nothing is new save the car shell and chest, it could not have cost that much to put some decent paint on him. He looks like a guy skinned all the way to the muscle, with a flattened car thrown onto his back.

If anyone wants to get the Deluxes and Voyagers for cheaper than normal check out your Walmart. The one near me is selling them for $16 and $27 respectively. They only had Prime and Grimlock. I considered Prime but I restrained. If they had Barricade I probably would've got him but no dice.

That's how my Walmart was. Target had them at the $20 and $30 points and TRU didn't have them out yet cause street date of next Friday

With the launch of the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline, there have been plenty of awesome events going on around the world to celebrate the new movie. Well, thanks to the Unión Cultural Mexicana de Fans de Transformers Facebook, we can tell you that Mexico also got in on the fun! The first event, held in a Walmart parking lot, featured an animatronic Optimus Prime, complete with purple eyes, Souvenirs, toys, and prizes to be given out. It even included some cars based on the characters in The Last Knight, with Hot Rod, Bumblebee, Barricade, and Crosshairs being represented by unofficial cars that come close to duplicating their on-screen alternate modes.

Check out the images below, and if you live in Mexico: follow their Facebook. This set will be traveling around the country to set up and celebrate the new movie!

As news team member, I am intrigued. Are we sure this is a mistake and not a surprise reveal of an upcoming redeco?

I feel it's very possible it's an exclusive. Not a very good one, but an exclusive nonetheless.

Oh, well make sure you quote where it comes from. I was confused as hell as to what you were talking about.

And I doubt this is some sort of upcoming figure. the thing has voyager Megs pictures as a legion class figure. It's just wack

Easy mistake to make with multiple figures name "Megatron" in the line. Same for "Optimus Prime"

FINALLY found some TLK toys at my local TRU, but they didn't have Slash or deluxe Barricade, but they did have baby barricade, so I bought him in a heart beat. I couldn't leave empty handed! And he's a stellar little figure, but he's not barricade. The face, the body style, it just doesn't work, Plus I fully intend to get Deluxe Barricade. So, what to do? I thought about using him just as aligned Prowl (as he IS smokescreen, after all) but the gleaming makes that a bit hard, so I give you...



Roadblock (ha), Barricade's annoyingly dedicated tiny deputy that always wants to tag along on patrols.

Plus he can do the smooth criminal!!!

Forgot I have that mold in my box of figures I don't particularly need to keep.

Maybe mine here is Smokescreen before obsessing about Barricade enough to turn into your 'Roadblock'.

It's Monday morning, a week after the street date, and Walmart still doesn't have anything, not even shelf space set aside to put them on.

BTW, I doubt a knockoff Optimus Prime would have such intricate flame work or leave the clear panels intact on the top of the truck hood and roof. Very strange looking figure, and a strange choice to go with DotM (why not Evasion Prime or the new Voyager?). The way it's painted almost makes it look like it's being shot back into the Earth's atmosphere from space.

The New Optimus Sword and shield is interesting even if the deco isn't especially tasteful.

That is an awesome idea! Neat, and a little bad-guy deputy never hurt anyone!

Now I'm going to need to do this with my Smokescreen

So I as had a zillion transformers as kids and just now got back into collecting them now that my kids are old enough to have fun with them. Somehow I dropped like $100 bucks on them on impulse over the weekend, lol.

In the past, what was the time frame for the next wave of figures up to the movie release? I'm guessing (hoping) the next wave would be in May sometime then the rest to coincide with the film release?

Some websites state the date of the next wave sometime in May.

First, WELCOME!

Second, if you are new to collecting and love the Movie lines, try out your local online classified. You can have LOADS of bayformers for cheap.

Thanks to Seibertronian Fc203 we have a new Transformers: The Last Knight commercial, featuring Armor Knight Bumblebee! The commercial shown was video recorded, but still captures the commercial pretty well. It features Bumblebee in a stylish-car-commercial type of video, showing off his vehicle mode from different angles with different lighting before going to bot mode. Armor Knight Optimus Prime also appears at the end. This video comes courtesy of Fc203 on youtube and can be viewed below for your pleasure! Let us know what you think of it in the comments section below!

The first thing that commercial reminded me of was this other commercial:

Will Voyager Megatron, Hound, and deluxe Skweeks come out soon, or will they come out at the same time as the movie this summer?

Those 3 are the ones I want the most.

Sometime in May was said for Wave 2. I'd like those three as well.

I really want Sqweeks as well. It'll be interesting to compare the distribution of these upcoming waves to Generations/TR. Will they be better distributed because they're movie toys and they have priority and they're truly how Hasbro makes it's money?

Think of it more as a hypothetical "Masterpiece MP-17A Prowl Animated Colors Ver."

Pretty neat commercial. Still a kid's toy thought. Not my thing but I would assume it would be fun for some to play with.

After hearing about several things potentially related to a Toys R Us exclusive toyline for The Last Knight, it seems as though we finally have some solid information regarding this new "Mission to Cybertron" stuff! The Toys R Us Movie HQ Website has updated with new information regarding Mission to Cybertron. While no toys are mentioned here outright, it does give a lengthy description regarding what the Mission is, while also showing us the full poster of artwork previously revealed.

You can check out the website by following the link above. You can also read up on the Mission to Cybertron below along with the full artwork, mindful that there are potential spoilers!

Ok, so here are my thoughts on Berserker.

So, definitely the weakest of the 3 wave 1 guys I purchased. He is not bad, but he is beneath Barricade and Prime. The robot mode is awesome and I love looking at it. The alien head and dreads are really cool and the chest looks pretty sweet as well. The legs are pretty cool too and I love that the figures in this line seem to be taking heel spurs seriously. He is pretty stable and fun to pose. His weapons are pretty sweet too. Transformation is difficult because the arms and legs just don't want to behave themselves when hooking up, but it has gotten a bit easier with several transformations. Alt mode is pretty nice, and I appreciate the fact that they are painting all the windows and lights or using translucent plastic for all of them on these figures. the gaps between arms and legs are a detriment, and it feels a bit small, like the robot was good but the alt mode needed to be voyager sized. But he is an alright figure, though I recommend Barricade as the best of wave 1.

I was gonna get Berserker just for his predator robot mode anyways but probably when i find him cheaper. I like Barricade a lot especially since being told his backpack can be taken off and used like a riot shield but my fave of wave 1 is easily Optimus Prime. Only niggle I have with him is kinda tricky to get the front panels of the truck all lined up but I mostly have him in robot mode anyways and I'm quite enjoying painting up extra and correct details on him and awaiting the hopefully inevitable reprolabels for all those missing robot mode flames.

So this "poster" mentions Cybertron could also Transform.

Does this mean that Cybertron is the planet in the trailers? Could also be a reason why it looks Different in 2007 compared to DOTM

I wonder how much articulation he has. Probably not a lot.

I was initially going to make fun of this but then i realized it may ACTUALLY transform into a bottle of motor oil!! Now i like it and want one.

Vulvatron will be mine.

PS- just cheked it out and filled out a bunch of false info to eventually learn the offer is only available in the States. Super lame.

Which Optimus Prime are you guys talking about?

The voyager?

Logical because it's a new mold and the only one worthy of discussion.

RAR wrote:Speaking of Movie toys - has anyone noticed how expensive Movie ROTF Leader Jetfire has gotten recently ? even ones with bits missing are going for decent prices - bit of a puzzle I thought.

Makes perfect sense since the Leader Optimus that it connects with has been rereleased a ton of times (and the best version got released this year) that many people are catching up and buying a jetfire to go with it.
