As I have said before - I'd actually not mind that Proto-form Optimus if he was another colour - also the Optimus might have been nice in something similar to Laser Prime colours.

They are to much money to be so similar as they are - they are like one of those endless ROTF Sideways slight repaints that got made.

Via an email notification from a fellow Transformers fan, we have confirmation that the second wave of Transformers: The Last Knight toys are current available over on HasbroToyShop.com! The wave, we'll remind readers, includes voyagers Megatron and Hound, and Deluxe Drift, Sqweeks, Steelbane, and Slug.

Found on facebook page planet iacon, stock images of deluxe class cogman.

PAINTED RIMS? WHAT IS THIS?

[Tyrannacon]

Hopefully Voyager Megatron will be in stock around the time I get paid next month. I really, really, have A MIGHTY NEED for this figure.

Seibertronian Bacem has found some cool images online coming from 淘宝店变形金刚改造工厂 on Weibo. These feature final product images of deluxe Cogman from Transformers The Last Knight. Unlike the previous renders, these new stock images give us a better idea of the finished product since they aren't photoshopped and are usually taken in a less flaterring light, giving us an idea of the product we will really get. Of course, we now know that this toy is very innacurate and completely off scale to the character in the film but hopefully the toy still has many fans. Let us know if you will still be picking up this toy!

That sword looks absolutely pathetic. The package art set up my expectations for something awesome and it was dropped so far

Otherwise he looks a decent carformer. I wonder if the Titan Master is retooled from any pre-existing one?

[Carnivius_Prime]

Definitely liking this toy and can't wait to get it to paint some more silver on the robot parts that lack it.

To me this is Cogman as he is using his own larger body that we didn't really see in the film or perhaps having converted a car to be a restyled larger version of his normal human-like sized form. A fun looking toy either way

[reluctantyouth]

Stupid Hasblo...SOLD OUT already. BigBadToystore.com has a pre-order for Megatron/Hound at $59.99

I wonder if the Titan Master is retooled from any pre-existing one?

I kinda don't think so. the shoulders, shins, and head look like they're sculpted to resemble the bigger bot, but the thighs and torso could definitely be reused from a TR TM.
This fig definitely has my interest. Might depend how well that "weathered" deco turns out. Would be fun to have him rolling around the TR shelf though.

I'm still not convinced that swords are of any use against robots. Robots are practically MADE of armor - they're metal. Yet in the Bayverse, swords, hooks and other melee weapons seem to rip through them like wet tissue paper. Sure, it makes for a neat visual, but it's not realistic. The whole reason why swords became obsolete was the advent of the firearm. Suits of armor, which beforehand had been reliable and vital protection against swords and arrows, became useless almost overnight.

If I were fighting a giant robot and had my choice of weapons? I'd go with the fusion cannon, not a toothpick.

Tell that to other franchises like Ninja Turtles and Wolverine who are often using bladed weapons to fight robots. Armour's only gonna protect you for so long against something really, really sharp (like Wolvie's claws) and often the TF blades are enhanced with energy or fire or vibrations or some stuff.

Are suits of armour not bullet proof to some degree? I'm not actually sure.

[Cobotron]

Swords are a gentleman's weapon. They take skill, training, courage, and respect to wield. Any fool can pull a trigger. Where's the romance in that?
Fantasy world calls for fantasy weapons.

[Kurona]

I just like them having swords because they're cool.

[Carnivius_Prime]

I got Voyager Megatron three weeks ago, still debating whether to get TLK Hound or try get the AoE version that never appeared in stores here. The AoE version having the bulkier alt-mode and more weapons but I like the TLK robot form too.

Some quality KO's of the AoE version easily available too I think.

Not as clumsy or random as a blaster, an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.I'm so sorry.

I'm more relevant news Voyager Megatron and Hound are gone off of HTS. I am disappointed. Deluxes are still there though.

[Carnivius_Prime]

bah, I spent ten minutes trying to take Deluxe Starscream's head off to have Megatron hold it but it just wouldn't come off.
Still, I like this lil group here even if scale is out the window.

Cogman is definitely wanna the better last knight figures.

Not sure if you guys will be interested but here's a link of The Last Knight RC Sqweeks review! https://youtu.be/AjONT7_XEBg

[Cobotron]

All the melee fights in the films are one of the few things I do like. More blades for everyone!
But, yeah Cogman looks like a pretty fun toy. I may not like the movies, but I like a fun toy!
His alt mode looks good too. It's been confirmed that that he can sit inside and drive, right?

[Carnivius_Prime]

Not sure if you guys will be interested but here's a link of The Last Knight RC Sqweeks review! https://youtu.be/AjONT7_XEBg

I had fun even just watching you play with Sqweeks there. Bit expensive for me but definitely a fun toy. I like how his helmet bobs a little when moving about.

[Carnivius_Prime]

It's been confirmed that that he can sit inside and drive, right?

You can seat two Titan Masters inside, side by side. Shame it hasn't got a tiny little Sir Edmund to take one of the seats.

Oh Cool! And a tiny Tony Hopkins would be AWESOME!
