It's all because the real name of The Fallen wasn't brought to light until after ROTF had come and gone.

Yes I realise that - I was saying that because it makes sense to assume that was the case even in the Movie Universe (even if it is a latter addition). and the same no doubt applies to War Within "The Fallen" too.

I'd welcome the option though if it was intended to be someone else before hand. I only brought it up as there was Two 'Horsey Dragons' it seemed a reasonable supposition to make that Nitro might be exist in two versions too - what with the common thing to do these days being designing each toy with at the very least an alternative head (Which is likely what happened with RID Wingblade I expect - even if perhaps that might have been better used for another character like Slipstream).

I'll be curious to see what the alt mode looks like for Nitro.

I do wish they'd consider using the 2018 Bumblebee Movie as a means to release all the things that were missing from previous lines - sort of like how the Wolverine Figure line threw random X-Men characters at you to pad out all the Wolverines.

The same idea would be great to do with the Bumblebee line. AT THE VERY LEAST I want some 1970's and 1960's Bee toys out of it.

I would be very surprised if the Bumblebee movie gets more transforming toys than the FOC line got.

Simple he changed his name back to Megatron since Galvatron was a KSI name they gave him but his mind was still Megatron's as for the body thing you do remember about Transformium right?

Or maybe Galvatron is just a "clone" and since that head of Megatron's back at the KSI base was clearly stated to still be alive or at least "functioning" something or someone (creators?) could rebuild that head into that Knight Megatron while Galvatron is killed in the beginning of the movie like ROTF Demolishor and Sideways with the Autobots letting their guard down believing Megatron to be gone forever.

The second one is just a theory based off watching AOE a few times this year and paying attention to the scenes regarding Galvatron.

He did call himself Galvatron too, though.

Toys ... movie talk has its own thread.
*sigh* Never ending battle.

Skullgrin... is that you?? I wonder if we will get a pretender repaint out of that particularly horn-laden Megatron.

All that said — and with skulls on the brain — Skullitron is right up there with the worst names in the Transformers pantheon. Absolutely. Terrible.

But I digress.

I mean The Fallen would say otherwise and G1 comics Optimus and his nightmare skull and the early Headmasters all had head themed pun names like Mindwipe, Hardhead, Skullcruncher, etc.

I mean do they have Jazz music and Bee's on Cybertron

Reminds me, Skel-E-Tron was a neat recolour from Headrobots of their RotF Bludgeon upgrade kit designed to turn Overlord into a Skeletor homage.

Gotta agree with D-max on this one, Will. The head is the only similarly I see.
Plus I just kinda hate that gimpy armed design.

Looks like street dates wont get in the way of the Navy! gcruz907, a member at TFW, found most of Transformers: The Last Knight Wave 1 at Navy Exchange in Norfolk, Virginia. The street date for these toys is April 24th and it was clearly not respected. Navy Exchange is a retail store run by the Navy for their people and they had the voyagers (Prime), deluxes (Barricade, Bumblebee and co), legions and turbo changers, according to other users who confirmed the finding. The leaders are not part of the first wave and are due to come out later, so they were not there.

As proof, all we have from gcruz907 is this picture of Voyager Optimus Prime. The hunt is on, may the odds be ever in your favour!

At least there are only 2 figures from this wave I want.

I don't really want anything from this wave, so I can just save my money until Steelbane and Scorn come out.

Bingo.

And I don't know about legions either, but I feel those are one of those RiD wave 3 and beyond minicon things where I never see them and I have to work extremely hard just to find them

Should be Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Grimlock and Barricade, or C1326 through C1329. In other words, the redeco wave.

I wonder if the Uk supermarkets get that less than great redeco wave in and it fails to sell due to high prices and repeated moulds they won't get the later moulds that are actually likeable stuff - like the Dragons.

In other words the wave that will probably clog up shelves and prevent the good waves from being stocked. But I could be wrong.

This wave of TLK is definitely the least exciting so far. Barricade and Voyager Prime are still wait and see for me.

Same here, since its so repaint heavy. And not even repaints of cool toys that some of us never got but instead repaints of toys we just got in the last film line (most of which already got repainted). I am gonna wait a good while for that voyager Prime. Hasbro has a habit of milking their voyager primes with redecos until the utters bleed, so since this toy is in serious need of a better deco I am gonna wait to see how else it will be released (either as a boxset or retail exclusive redeco).
