Video Reviews for Transformers: The Last Knight Premier Edition Voyager Optimus Prime & Grimlock

I snorted out the non-existent drink I had in my mouth at the second review. Well played.

Too good.

thats the best review ever

I like One-Step and simple Transformers Like Minicons or even the Rescue Bots line - being quick to Transform has it's own appeal. I don't like having to take 10 minutes out my day to Transform the average third party toy so much - I find if something is to much of a chore to Transform I don't even bother and leave it on one mode.

Or in the case of ROTF leader Prime I've got 2 of them and I leave one in Truck mode all the time as it's to much of a chore to Transform it.

------

Oh and I notice that Infernocus looks like the Demonic guys Optimus is fighting in the latest Trailer.

its a LOLtastic review alright.

I'm actually quite impressed with Voyager Optimus Prime's transformation. Never considered getting him, but I may change my mind--not for $30 though.

That Grimlock bit was not amusing, so stupid. Some people might actually want to see a review comparing AOE versus TLK. I've passed on this Grimlock twice, but i would still like to see the color variations. As would others im sure. Take that crap to politico. Capitalist oppressors. I didnt join this site to hear peoples politically driven statements. Enough already.

The "Capitalist Oppressors" comment was just a joke, I can assure you, not a legitimate political opinion. He was just making fun of the figure. It would be similar to someone saying "Thanks Obama" in response to a straight repaint. It's sarcastic, and is not what the person actually thinks. Don't worry, we wouldn't have posted it if we thought it was politically fueled in any way.

Confirming most of the news we have been reporting since the first sightings (such as this one), Transformers: The Last Knight toys are not technically supposed to be sold in stores until 24th April - but can still be displayed, as shown by latest sightings in the Kmart of Farmingville, Long Island by fellow Seibertronian Scottimus Prime. Among the usual Voyagers and Deluxes, we also have the first sighting on here of the Turbo Changer Bumblebee, along with wave-mate Optimus Prime.

If you come across any new figures, from this or other Transformers lines, make sure to help out the community by noting it in the Sightings Database, and in the regional [url]forums[/url]. In the meantime, check out the images below!

Thanks for the review on figure of prime I skipped past articulation part in video waste of my time to see

We have a video review of Knight Armor Turbo Changer Optimus from Transformers: The Last Knight. We now know this will be available as part of the first wave of toys hitting everywhere the 24th of April. The video shows you the transformation and the helmet gimmick at work.

Enjoy!

The only thing that ran through my mind while watching was, "as you can seeee I am an eeeemoji" but this does look infinitely better than the AoE shelfwarmer 1step formers

weird helmet but this toy gets the robot mode flames the 'real' voyager doesn't? tsk

I didn't join the site to watch people make jokes about using women, but apparently that still flies so yay for free speech. :-/

EDIT: Just realized I accidentally put this in the wrong thread. My apologies.

Visited a Toys R Us in Evansville, IN and found the new Legends class figures.



They were selling them for 9.99 a piece.

They also had the Tiny Turbo Changers. Forgot to check the price, though.

That is despicable, yes.

If we're quite done BAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWing about hurt fee-fees...How about them Transformers?

Why don't you enlighten us with your opinion on a toy?


Say, this next post.

Alrighty then.

I'm actually looking forward to this line quite a bit. I really hope they don't pull an AoE and make all the good toys TRU exclusive in the UK though. Voyager (or Leader) Megatron is probably my number 1 want, though from what little we've seen of him Nitro looks great too. Barricade and Berserker both look awesome but I wish they were better painted. I kinda want the new Drift and an AoE Drift to go with him as a kind of "Red Oni, Blue Oni" pair (need to come up with new names and identities).

If you thought there weren't enough The Last Knight Megatron toys, we have one more for you. This Titan Changer Megatron toy has been revealed by Hasbro's Middle-East division. This is a 12″ toy that transforms from robot to jet in 5 Steps.
While below you will find the very first image of this toy, we did know we were getting this figure since February when Hasbro had given us all their product descriptions. The excerpt can be found below, along with the specific bio for this toy. The photos and bio were brought to light by TFW2005.

Speaking of that new Drift, anyone know whether some of the photos were mis-transformed, or does his vehicle kibble really hang down all the way past his knees? I've probably said this before, but the paint apps on his chest all severely lacking, and if his kibble really is like that then that's pretty much the final nail in the coffin for me.

In other Transformers: The Last Knight toy news, we have a video review for two one-step figures, or Turbo Changers as they're known now, via fellow Seibertronian chuckdawg1999. You can check out the embedded video below, including some thoughts on the figures, and join the conversation in the Energon Pub!

The One Step changers are back as Turbo Changers. Hound and Barricade are the only new molds in wave 1 and they're fun. Barricade is the shining star and features a rotating wrist gun, gotta love the extra play value. Definitely fun and make great desk toys, worth a pickup.

Drift is a re-tool / re-shell of his AOE toy. So its safe to say his car kibble should fold up and peg to his back.



However, since I do not believe we've actually seen his back directly, its hard to say.

My money is on mistransformation though.

Fellow Seibertronian EmirateXaaron has come across The Last Knight legends class figures at Toys R Us in Evansville, Indiana. They are priced at 9.99 each. Also spotted were these Tiny Turbo Changers pictured below. If you are curious as to what is inside those mystery bags check out this article for a better look at what is inside.

Really want to see some new pics of nitro... anyone know when there'll be another toyfair like thing where hasbro might show some more products?

Tiny Turbo Changers, are there codes or should I prepare myself for ageda and misery?

You will see it in stores before the next show (hascon in september)

Its fine, Bee and Optimus dont have those either. So its all equal footing.

Could you tell us if these are allowed to be sold. Thats the big news we are looking for right now. And that goes for anyone finding these in the wild. Since everything from the launch has now been spotted in the US, we now need to know if it can actually be purchased. So if anyone finds these again, please let us know so we can properly report the news

Which Hasbro is showing 0 signs of attending. Plus its in July, 3 months after the movie toys are released. I am pretty sure we wont get the first full image of Nitro in both modes at an event.

Allowed to be sold? What do you mean? I found them on the shelves, marked and everything. I could go back tomorrow and try to buy one, if that would help.

Sometimes toys on the shelf before their street dates won't ring up.

That would be awesome if you can.

Even the titan changer looks decent! How is this design so absurdly toyetic?

Just got tlk deluxe barricade at tru. They had to do an overrride on him since he wasnt supposed to be out till the 28th. They had it all out and probably gonna put it back now. Hopefully they dont find my stash.

has anybody spotted voyager hound or megatron at stores yet?

Yeah, they are marked with price tags but no one has been able to actually purchase them so far. When I went, the cash froze up and they had to call a manager who had to take the toy away, and put a key in the cash for me to proceed with my other purchases. They were then removed from the shelves until they are allowed to be up.

But we dont know if thats the case for all TLK toys. Like thoe tiny turbo changers, it would be really fun to know if they can actually be bought. Because the whole idea of newsing something is to help out the community and while spotting new toys is still news, it only really helps anyone if they can be purchased. So let us know when you go back and we can update the story

Thanks to TFW2005, we have an official product description and stock images of the Transformers: The Last Knight role play masks.

In the explosive Transformers: The Last Knight movie, new heroes must rise in an epic struggle to forge a future for all. Answer the call to protect Earth with Transformers: The Last Knight role play masks. Now, fans can imagine becoming the legendary Autobots from the movie and experiencing the unforgettable action. This Transformers: The Last Knight mask assortment features iconic Autobot heroes. Each figure is sold separately.

they can be purchased but they arent supposed to be.i went check out and they had too call the manager. they did an override since they arent supposed to be out till the 28th. they probably pulled all the stuff off the shelves after i left since they had it all out. ofc they wont find prime or berserker

The repainted mask is just lame. Using an RID mask and painting it to look like Movie Bee isn't fooling anyone, Hasbro.

Who cares, it's Bunmblebee!

Maaaan, if I ever need to prove to anyone Hasbro's cheap...

It's even got the little indent for the scan-badge!

Finally, a Scout/Basic size Barricade. Though I refocused my collection in recent years to G1 and it's offshoots, some movie toys remained such as Wreckage, Dirt Boss and the Real Gears.

Plus Barricade appeared in the background in the IDW comics so that to me makes him G1.

I'll definitely pick him up.

Windsweeper wrote:Plus Barricade appeared in the background in the IDW comics so that to me makes him G1.

i am just curious here, since when is IDW G1? sure, it uses some G1 characters in new scenarios but so do the movies, animated and Prime. I never saw why that would make it G1 over any other reinterpretation, let me know your thoughts when you have a sec.

Because it was officially stated as such. While it may have moved towards bringing in many other continuities as a reference point with the G1 characters and ideas being a basis, it was very clear from the beginning that they were directly using G1 designs and primary inspiration. I really don't see how you can look at Infiltration Prowl and Animated Prowl and just figure they're doing the same thing.

Regardless, I highly doubt this is a conversation to have here and Windsweeper was simply stating their own headcanon and/or preferences. This is a thread about TLK toys. I'm sure whether or now IDW is G1 is an interesting subject (in my opinion it originally very clearly was but has gradually moved away from that), but let's give it its own separate topic or at least keep it to the IDW threads.

That legion Barricade sure makes for a good Cyberverse version of Prime Cade eh guys?
