UK-based Seibertronian Whirlkick has sent us another Argos tip, featuring a later wave of Transformers: The Last Knight toys, and including Drift and Sqweeks! The products are not found in store, but the order for pick-up function seems to be active. If you try it out, let us know how it goes, and happy hunting!

I was browsing through Argos UK's website for The Last Knight figures, and it said that Deluxe Drift and Sqweeks are available for click and collect within 5 days, and you can order now. However, it is out of stock in their stores and for home delivery. But if you use click and collect, you can purchase Sqweeks and Drift, amongst others.

I found the deluxes at a Walmart today, decided to buy Barricade.



He sucks, but at least he only cost 15 bucks. Pretty sure I'll stay away from the rest of TLK figures. Blah.

Wave one seems to have good to alright molds. It's the colors that suck I know. But wave two and onward seems like they'll have some goldies like the new Bumblebee, Drift, and others, along with all the voyagers.

Even Crosshairs from the later waves looks good, and he's a repaint!

[william-james88]

There has been very little push or information on the Armor Knight Turbo Changers from Transformers: The Last Knight, to the point that we only knew there was a Bumblebee coming out when it was seen in stores.

Fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg has reviewed all three from the first wave: Grimlock, Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. So check out the review below if you are curious about these simpler toys and their mask/helmet gimmick.

More figures released under the Turbo Changers header, the Knight Armor figures feature spring loaded helmets and very simple transformations. Grimlock is an ok figure with the most interesting helm, while Bumblebee suffers from weak knees. Optimus Prime is the best overall figure with an almost Samurai motif to his helmet.

[william-james88]

He sucks, but at least he only cost 15 bucks. Pretty sure I'll stay away from the rest of TLK figures. Blah.

But he's easily the worst of the new molds in wave 1. Thats like giving the Beatles a shot and first listening to Revolution #9.

I actually returned the toy to walmart under their "dissatisfaction policy".

wave 1 has 3 stars

I havent seen any stars yet, they all have major flaws. Prime comes close but that deco is just wrong. I dont need more paint but different paint. And those eyes are so damn weird, he looks like an anime character crying.



And am I the only one to have prime with shoulders that unclip easily?

I doubt it, the only current star for me is grimlock in that sweet deco, but only because I want the mold and don't have it yet.

Other than that, I'm waiting on the double megs' leader one is gonna be a bit weird with the extra long arms and if you orient them so he has functioning elbows and wrists, he's gonna have weird cavities right above them, but he looks so damn nice, and his faceplate

To be frank, aside from the Masterpieces, all we have are names, nothing else. Not even leaked toy images. My gut says we'll know more by Summer.

[Evil Eye]

Sqweeks looks brilliant and I will have him. Even if he is out of scale with everything and his transformation cheats.

Drift I will probably get as well, for the reasons I've already mentioned several times before.

[MrBlack]

Picked up Barricade and Optimus.

Optimus is alright. Robot mode looks better in hand than I thought it would, and I like the accessories and how they work with the figure (sword sheath on his back is nice). The backpack is there, but it's low profile. Transformation has a couple of clever bits in the legs. It's an improvement, at least, over my 2007 Movie Voyager and its ridiculous backpack.

Barricade has an even goofier backpack, but the figure has so much charm that I don't care. The accessories are cool, the knuckle dusters are quite amusing, and I love the fact that his legs do a decent impression of actual police boots. I think the overall deco looks great, and his car mode rolls surprisingly well, even with the weapons stored. It's not a great figure on paper, but there is so much personality in the mold that I can easily look past its faults.

[Va'al]

It's a day for reveals! We have some more Transformers: The Last Knight news to share, with wave 2 deluxe Sqweeks showing up in hand. The figure is shown in both modes and for its arm transformation, as well as the weapon storage trailer, courtesy of The Blue E on Facebook - check it out below!

[Evil Eye]

Is it just me or does Sqweeks have 4 handlebars?

Not that that's putting me off him. He's so cute and he'll have to be pretty annoying in the movie for me to not buy it.

Yeah, but the 2 that make up his arms seem to be part of some sort of system that allows for the arms to be swapped around, they do need to be removed for transformation, but this way you can customize the figure, actually seem pretty cool to me

Dunno, one of the arms looks pinned down to the work shop, so maybe not, I like that the handlebar arms seem to be able to fold away for vehicle mode, seems like hasbro put a lot of effort into making this figure, am very interested in seeing a video review of this guy

[Carnivius_Prime]

He does look like a charming little figure. I don't know if worth the £23 or so that TLK Deluxes cost here but maybe. Certainly more appealing once they start appearing in money-off sales.

[-Kanrabat-]

SOMETHING NEW AND ORIGINAL!

Squeek will be bought on day one. Yes, even that the 30$CAN price point.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Sqweeks looks so different and is really different from pretty much every other movie figure we have ever gotten, which is really cool! I like it, and he is the only deluxe from wave 2 I want, so I'm super excited that he looks this good and they put this love into him
