Video Reviews for Transformers: The Last Knight Leader Dragonstorm, Deluxe Bumblebee and Crosshairs

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait. . .

They went through all the work to give Bumblebee a plasma cannon arm just to have it only work on the WRONG ARM?! Bee's plasma cannon is a part of his right arm, not his left. I'm still getting the figure, It still looks great, but I may have to do some modding or something because that's really annoying.

I can't watch the vid at moment (just gaze lovingly at the main pic it shows) but does it say the right forearm can't be removed the same way the left can? Like are they not done the exact same way of joining to the upper arm? If it can then no problem I guess.

I just want that figure here so I can play with it already.

Looks like it may work on both arms for fans have been fans of transformers you think they would know how all deluxe, leader voyager figures articulation is by now they all move same way same with legend class all they do is transform differently

It seems like the cannon can go on his right arm, but the elbow won't bend in that direction. Hopefully there'll be more details on exactly how it works soon.

The first review is a full english review of Leader Dragonstorm, as posted by Chefatron. You can find the previous Asian language review and Chefatron english neck issue video HERE.

Up next are a pair of Asian language reviews, complete with English subtitles, for the upcoming deluxe class Crosshairs and Bumblebee! These reviews come from Kevin Liu, and can be found below. Check them all out, and let us know what you think of them in the comments section below!

Hooray, a review of Crosshairs! I missed him the first time round during AoE and I've been thinking that this might be a good opportunity to get a hold of him (and not even at a higher price, given that Deluxe prices were already so crazy here that the Premier line isn't actually any more expensive than AoE toys were). I guess now I can make a proper assessment on the alterations to the figure and see if he'll be worth picking up when I see him 6 months from now.

(Also, you've got an extra dash in that first URL link D-Max. It's not really an issue honestly but if you're like me, I thought you'd want to be made aware that it's broken.)

Here is some odd news, the Reveal the Shield subline of Transformers the Last Knight is not exclusive to Target. At least not the entire subline. Seibertronians Cprime18, rodimusconvoy13 and Terrsolpix all found the Voyager Reveal the Shield Optimus Prime (the one with the pink dots everywhere) at Toysrus across the US. We don't have any images to share but that's enough sightings to conclude that this is true (also a reminder to all you wonderful fans sending us sighitngs, please be sure to send a picture too). The exclusive tiny turbo changer 3-pack has yet to be seen in the US so we don't know if it will show up at Target or Toysrus. Let us know when you gind that one! If any of you have seen this voyager or other hot toys, please let fans know in the sightings section and sightings forum.

Glad I was able to aid in this story, but has this Optimus even been found a true Targets? I saw the sextuple pack of shelfwarms there the other week, but I don't recall seeing Spotimus.

Nope, and technically it was never confirmed taht the Reveal teh Shield line would be target exclusive, we just assumed it based on the big red dot on the box.

All we know is taht these toys are exclusive to a specific retailer and it turns out that some from that subline are exclusive to target and some are exclusive to TRU.

This reminds me of the time I once found a TF:Prime First Edition Deluxe class Bumblebee at a Walmart.

But in that case, I brushed it off as someone having simply returned it to the wrong store.

More QC issues with Dragon Storm.

Seems Emgo's Dragonstorm arrived missing Dragomicus' robot mode head.

I many be blind, but it looks like the dragon heads on his copy have two extra rings per.

We saw him listed on Asda's website in the UK, we saw his wave mate Bumblebee in stores, and now we finally have a US retail sighting for the Transformers The Last Knight flip and change Hot Rod! The toy, coming from Seibertronian cdavid3, was found in a California Wal-Mart for a retail price of $19.87.
The figure is a redeco and remold of the Age Of Extinction Lockdown Flip And Change figure, and is an exclusive to Wal-Mart stores in the US, as he's a part of Wal-Mart's Autobots Unite subline. Check out the provides photo of the sighting below, and report any new toys you find anywhere in the world via the sightings tab in the "Toys" menu!

Has Anyone seen the Deluxe Hot Rod yet

Prime Target wrote:Has Anyone seen the Deluxe Hot Rod yet

Nope, but if you spot him, PLEASE let us know.

GrandGalvatronG1 wrote:how can you tell if you got a variant in the store? is the barcode different or anything?

Its all the same. The only way to see if its a variant is to look at the very bottom of the clear plastic roof that you see unfolded in the packaging. If its really black at the bottom that means that what is on top of that clear plastic piece is also black and thus you know you have a fully black roof all across the top of the car. I hope this pic helps, you can see that the bottom fo th back section is all black in the package:

I found the Flip And Change Bumblebee in ASDA Gravesend, UK. It was priced at £24.97.

We have some HUGE news coming in today regarding some new Transformers The Last Knight toys hitting retail! Seibertronian Whirlkick has spotted not only the Autobots Unite Legion Class Two Packs, but also the highly anticipated Transformers Last Knight Deluxe Hot Rod figure, at an ASDA store in the UK! This confirms that the two packs, consisting of one with Hot Rod and Bumblebee and another with Megatron and Berserker, as well as Deluxe Hot Rod have started to trickle into stores, so it's only a matter of time before we see them in the US.
It also reinforces the fact that while the Autobots Unite subline is a Wal-Mart exclusive in the US, it will be exclusive to ASDA in the UK.
This makes sense, as Wal-Mart is ASDA's parent company.
Check out the photographic proof below, and let us know in the forums if you've seen any new toys in stores near you.

My ASDA is terrible for toys so I don't expect they will get him in - he is on the website though as is the 2 pack and Trypticon (for £150) so I'll see if they reduce them a bit before I consider biting £25.00 is a bit much for a remould.

Oh and Chefatron has reviewed Wave 3 Deluxe Bumblebee if anyone is interested to see his review it's here :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpAtI1EoZms

[I won't embed it in case the toy has been linked to with another review]

Where the frick are these Asdas that have Transformers toys in them? Cos none of the ones I go to have them. I'd like Hot Rod dammit.

English review of the NEW TLK deluxe Bumblebee.
By, you guessed it, Chefatron.

Man, Dragonstorm is supposed to be so cool. Stop with the QC issues!

This is also why I am glad I wait on figures. It's almost always the first ones that have issues.

Oh and Leader and voyager Megatron and voyager Hound are in-stock at HTS. I got all 3 with the 20% off thanks to emails

Thanks to reports from CDavid3 and Carytheone[/i], we have news that the Dancing Sqweeks toy has reached store shelves! This unique figure plays right into kids aspect of the line, and can be connected to an MP3 player to jam out to some jazzy tunes! The figure was found for $19.88 at Walmart, one of which was the Walmart in Milpitas, California. Check out the images below, and take a peek at a cool little Youtube video Carytheone was kind enough to take of the dancing figure!

Not sure if dancing or having some kinda episode but I like it. I wouldn't normally be interested in such a toy of most other characters who get this sorta thing but I'm fond of Sqweeks so it appeals to me.

I saw this thing at my Walmart on Wednesday, and decided to play with it. It is probably the stupidest piece of Bayverse merchandise released in the last 10 years. I felt myself losing an IQ point just standing there looking at it.

The folks over at Toy-People.com have posted an extensive selection of pictures of Transformers The Last Knight Deluxe Class Cogman, far and away the most hotly anticipated figure the last waves of the TLK toy line. The images show off the figure in robot and vehicle modes, compares him to other TLK figures, As well as his accessory and headmaster. They also show off two unknown features, the amount of detail in his cockpit, and his flip-down chest, which reveals even more detail that's been sculpted in. Check out all the photos below

Oh my Goooooooood, I'm in total, infatuated, love with this thing. I love the way too huge, winged out shoulders.


And this whole thing is so ****** unnecessary, it's awesome.


Also, if anybody's wondering, the interior is pretty f'in accurate, considering the restrictions. Here's one I sat in at a local dealer for reference.

Holy scrap I want it want it want it! I wish the stock photography would be more like this, they made it look even more awesome!

Ok, the C-3PO-esque circle in his stomach becoming the screw on the Headmaster is absolutely brilliant. I wonder if that was something they planned during his development that got inserted into his movie design? Either way dang it, now I want 2 Cogman figures so I can have one in his robot mode and the other as tiny, human size Cogman. There's nice enough detail on the Headmaster that some paint would look great.

Damn Cogman is the best looking movie figure period (Disagree? fight me )




HNGGGGGGGG


I want him...I need him.

Does cogmans leg transformation remind anyone else of barricades

It's been a while since I was exited for a deluxe movie figure. Not even Squeek drew my attention. But Cogman... MAN, I'll pay the 30$CAN plus taxes without regrets!

I hadn't planned on buying any of these movie figures...but this is one that could end up on my shelf.

Deadput wrote:Damn Cogman is the best looking movie figure period (Disagree? fight me )

Is he really the best looking movie figure or is that photographer just one of the best instead? I bet he could make the Dragonstorm components look even better and we all know those are deeply flawed.

My god.
This is the first I'm seeing of this figure.
It's beautiful!

I normally don't collect movie figs, but I HAVE to get this one.

I love the Titan Master/Headmaster gimmick and its integration into the movie line is one of the greatest things Hasbro's done in recent years.

Yes, but could they get the photos without the necks falling off

Yeah, something tells me this figure is gonna be especially hard to come by, especially if the wave 1 figures don't start moving at b&m...

One of the most anticipated toys from Transformers: The Last Knight is the new Bumblebee mold coming out in the third wave of deluxes which should be hitting the west soon enough. We have some english language reviews of this figure which were brought to our attention by fans. One of these reviews is from Seibertronian Chuckdawg1999 and others are from Chefatron and Emgo.

Enjoy!

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Oh look another Bumblebee, this one surprised me with how small it is. This is probably the easiest transformation of any Bumblebee I've handled, which I appreciate but it also feels rather boring in hand. The swappable arm gimmick is nice but I'm concerned that the joint will loosen over time and use. If you're a fan I'm sure you'll enjoy this figure.

Not only that but so far it is not part of any confirmed wave. It was removed from wave 3 and there is no case breakdowns of any following waves after that.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFuuuuuuuuuu...

...you hasblo

Yeah Cogman looks great. I still think my fave part of the figure is that it's a rare case of a Titan/Head master being done on a very realistic looking car AND being a two seater like the real car is. A tiny Sir Edmund figure to sit in the other seat would have been the cherry on top.

So.. Cogman better be not some "store X exclusive" bullcrap.

The winged out shoulder thing really makes Cogman look incredible. I think I might want him.

If Generations Arcee is anything to go off of, I'd say theres a definite possibility. I really hope not, but you never know.

Well, I'm just glad to know that hasbros gonna end up screwing us out of Cogman (and likely wave 2,3, and if it exists, 4) so that they could put some of the worst figures in the line into wave 1 and slurging them all over the aisles

Other new toys to come at the tail end have been Skylynx, arcee and chromia and the sky reign deluxes. So it could go either way. What will happen for sure though is that he will be priced higher at BBTS for them to make up their lost cost on the other figures in the case that wont sell as well.

I mean, you say they're supposed to be on shelves, but, we all know that slash and grimlock are gonna stagnate on shelves like shelfwarming we've never seen before. At least that's literally whats happening in my area, 10 grimlocks, 7 slashes, and a few berserkers and crappy bb's, they don't move, worse even are the legion figures, which are all low quality repaints that no one is spending money on. So it's likely that if this happens at enough retailers, then we won't see much of the line
