1:Voyager HFTD The Fallen. Would be cool to have a screen accurate version of this guy who isn't a weird blue color

2:Voyager AOE Galvatron. Would look great in silver, and a pretty good figure considering how he 'transformed' in the film

3:Deluxe TLK Barricade. I want him to be closer shade of blue to the one he was in the film, a new headsculpt would also be appreciated.

Probably an unpopular opinion with the first two choices, but if bloody Bonecrusher can get an MB figure then by Primus I want my shiny Galvatron!

Totally on board with your Barricade idea. If he had the same cool head design as he did in the movie I'd have picked up the deluxe a long time ago.

So I pre-ordered Nemesis. He looks so sick, and I wanted to make sure that I had a pre-order. I can always cancel, but he looks so goooooooooooooooood

Judging by the hinges and lines on the hammer for Bumblebee, I'd say it stores in his vehicle mode, which is awesome!

That would Bee pretty cool


All awful puns aside, I think I'm still going to buy this one. I'll paint the Hasbro one I'm getting this week and keep the hammer one in perfect shape.

Mistakes can happen but made things right on improving this guy swapping heads. I will add him to the few Bayformers that I own. I can care less for the back scratcher they gave him. I suppose I could find other use and if not into the trash it will be tossed like most movie TF should.

Calling it now, I bet we're going to get a Nitro Zeus from this line with his proper Shockwave head.

Eh, but why though when we have a pretty great Shockwave toy from DotM?

Because in TLK, Nitro Zeus' head is taken exactly from DotM Shockwave's model. Bee's not saying they want Nitro Zeus as a Shockwave, but that they want a Nitro Zeus more accurate to his in-fiction appearance

Eh, I think the TLK one is pretty awesome anyway.

And who knows, maybe there was a TR Shockwave titan master planned that was the DotM Shockwave so you could swap heads, just like Thunderwing

In spite of having 32 Voyager Grimlocks already.... I do still want this one. He looks perfect, so whats his problem? He's got no backup. There isn't a perfect deco'd Slag, Sludge, Swoop, or Scorn. However there are full(ish) teams, which look great, but aren't perfectly deco'd. Ugh... the struggles...

The final page from Figure King 236, via Loopaza Megastore, features the Takara Tomy Transformers Movie The Best figures, from MB-17 Optimus Prime/MB-16 Jetfire to MB-15 Lockdown, MB-12 Jazz plus the The Last Knight figures of Hound and Megatron! Check them all out in all two images below.

looks awesome, but will never afford this

I'm really torn... I don't want to wait and spend $40 on a deluxe Bee, but this one has the hammer, and that is awesome and necessary to go with Nemesis Prime

It's kind of a tough call, but I think I am going to get this MB version instead of the Hasbro one. The paint apps still aren't perfect, but they're certainly better than the Hasbro version. I'm really glad they added black paint to the vents on the sides of the Camaro, because there's no way I would've been able to paint them myself without messing up. The shade of yellow plastic appears to be more movie accurate, and there seems to be a slight angle to his arm with the plasma cannon in the one picture, so they might have fixed the problem the original had and make his plasma cannon work on his right arm. Of course, the hammer really does it for me, since I was planning on picking up a third party one anyways. I'm really not fond of paying that much for a deluxe, but I'm OK with buying just this figure.

Although that also means I won't be getting a deluxe Bumblebee for TLK until around 10 months after the figures first got released in the US

Another thing I have thought about a lot. Waiting that long.. for Nemesis it is alright, but for my Bumblebee? Eh. Though I did get the MP hammer, but are they planning to make one for the deluxe? can they? (I forget what kind of hands it has)

Yep! Although it shows it with the wave 1 Bee, it should work with the new one.

That's because Dragon's first language is not English for sure and he must be using Google Translate with mixed results.

Still in a way, he was kinda right. If ye can afford to have toy collecting as a hobby, we logically don't struggle to eat and pay the bills. (If you do struggle, set your priorities straight).

So when I "don't have money" for a figure, it's either because it don't interest me enough for the asking price, or I already blown my extra money of the month.
(Not counting life's usual roadblocks in the form of unexpected bills like healthcare or general catastrophe).

All that to say is do I "have money" or don't for that Nemesis Prime? Because I got rid of my AoE Leader Optimus and Even my AD-31 Optimus. Sure, that mold have the backpack improved, but will I regret the 100$+ I may pay for it?

Thanks. I never get tired of seeing it myself

We still have a couple more collected image round-ups from Tokyo Comic Con 2017, which took place this weekend in Japan with a significant Takara Tomy presence - Transformers or otherwise - as you can see from the The Last Knight (King) event covered here.

In this post, we have the best look yet at the movie-verse toyline released by the Japanese company celebrating the Paramount and Michael Bay series of live-action films under the Movie the Best monicker. Included in the shots below, mirrored from the Snakas blog and Twitter user Masabon, are MB-16 Jetfire, MB-17 Optimus Prime, MB-20 Nemesis Prime and MB-19 Hound, all in robot mode, and in a group shot. Check them out below, and let us know what you think of these figures and the line!

Who put the blades on Prime wrong?
