Transformers: The Last Knight Non-Toy Products Discussion Thread
Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2016 10:33 amIt begins. With New York Comic Con 2016 underway in the Big Apple, we have our first official product from the upcoming Paramount movie Transformers: The Last Knight, due in cinemas in summer 2017. The news comes from the Hollywood Reporter, who unveil the latest voice-changing helmet from Hasbro, of course modelled after the latest incarnation of Optimus Prime, though all we have so far is a simple image mirrored below. Stay tuned for more to come, possibly during the livestream from New York!
Transformers fans who have spent years wishing that they could roll out just like Autobot leader Optimus Prime get some good news this New York Comic Con, with Hasbro unveiling an Optimus Prime Voice Changer Helmet at the event to tie-in with next year's Transformers: The Last Knight release.
The helmet, which features 21 button-activated sounds and phrases from Transformers lore, will not be available until Spring 2017 but fans can see it in action — and more importantly, hear it in action as part of the #NYCCLive livestream at 1:15 p.m. ET Thursday.
The Voice Changer Helmet — the most sophisticated yet released by Hasbro — is the first announced collectible for next year's The Last Knight movie, which is currently in production for a June 23, 2017 release. Perhaps one of its phrases might explain what Optimus is doing hanging out with dragons in early promotional images for the movie…
New York Comic Con runs through Oct. 9 at the Javits Center and other locations in New York City.

This First Edition helmet leads the charge as the debut collectible for TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT, allowing fans to don the helmet and change their own voice into the iconic intonation of OPTIMUS PRIME.

What's even more eye-captivating is the new look of the packaging. Glad that 
managed to take note of the cheaply-designed packaging & changed it to look more movie-esque, and they did it with this one! 
It looks cool! Hope they use this kind of package design for The Last Knight toys & the merchandise. However, let's wait for the movie figures to reveal themselves & check out their paint schemes, especially the recently revealed TLK Voyager Class Optimus Prime: great design & 100% movie accurate but cheap paint job...
