We are not going to want a crumb of plastic whose knees don't even bend for ~$40.

Which figure are you talking about 'whose knees don't even bend'? :O

Now why couldn't the paint have been added to the robot mode

Now why couldn't they have skipped the repaint and just release the brand new Deluxe in wave 1?

I wish they'd have skipped the repaints all together and given us a line of new moulds with more than three main line Decepticons.

[william-james88]

the movies themselves are more focused towards an older generation of fans.

Which is odd since the older TF fans hate the films.

Bumblebee's the only repaint that makes no sense to me since it's not even trying for movie accuracy unlike the Dinobots and has a brand new awesome looking figure being released later. Crosshairs and Drift looked like redecos at first but they're retooled. Barricade, Megatron, Hound, Sqweeks, Berserker, Steelbane, Scorn, Prime and new Bee are all new molds and those are all the known proper 'Generations' type TLK figures we know of so far. Certainly not been as repaint heavy as certain other TF lines yet.

(yeah I forgot the Leader Class figures cos their price and overly large size has me ignoring them anyways... Prime is old, Megatron is new)

It is the oddest choice, especially when Bee is reverting to an older body, and there are many other toys out there with a body looking more along the lines of that than the AOE mold.

Directly from Hasbro, check out the Transformers: The Last Knight Turbo Changer Knight Armor advert on their official YouTube channel! Featuring the first wave of Grimlock, Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, the clip has been embedded below - though more can be found in our news section, including Hound and Megatron!

I expect that Bee will start the Movie with his new Body - but it might have been nice to show him reformatting himself - you can really tell they don't plan these Movies out as much as they claim - as if they did - then Bee would have gotten an Upgrade in appearance this Movie not the last one - and perhaps they should have stuck with the 1960's Body for all of the last Movie.

I wonder if Bee had that 1960's Body before only with out the Carbon Fibre bits - and he was just revisiting it - like is implied that Optimus is re-visiting his old body too when he adopts the Knightly look.

So I wonder did they come up with the idea for both movies and then just carry on making them or did they make the knightly look for AOE - give it to some character and then when people mostly liked it - they decided to make the the entire theme of the next Movie.

So far none of the movie toys barring the Tiny Turbo Chargers have interested me. Thanks to the window and the list I got all 5 I wanted plus blackout who I got before I knew about the window and list and all for less than the price of one movie deluxe

I miss the love for legion class they put on RotF... Pass on this too

Can any of the molds from the first trilogy even be used, Legions aside? O wait, never mind, that DotM Voyager Prime redeco.

Maybe it was the most readily available of the preexisting Deluxe class Movieverse Bumblebee molds.

As in the most recent, thus more accurate to the current Camaro model?

Shadow Spark Optimus is really pretty.



More pictures here if you care. Not a ton, but more.

does anyone want a bee toy that explodes and comes back by itself using magnets or something like that

We have more teases from Weibo user Notrab. We believed that a Hot Rod toy would be coming for the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline since we had some art that looked like the back of a box but now we have even more proof. We have the actual box now, but cropped to only show the Hot Rod name. Hopefully we will see the Hot Rod toy soon.

[Deadput]

Might be part of a two pack since Bumblebee's "cgi" model is right above the box as opposed to say just Hot Rod like all the TLK deluxes thus far.

I remember seeing an image of Bee and Hot Rod together I'll have to track it down and post it here.

Strange to see Bumblebees feet on a Hot Rod box.

Never mind.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Ah my habit of skimming articles and not reading twice once again catches me.

[breacher]

I hope the 2 pack comes with the new mold bee, if so, I might actually pick it up. And, cmon, don't tease us like this. (If this is just another remold/repaint, I'm done. The line is already really small, and filled with repaints, you don't need to be this cheap Has/Tak)

Filled with repaints?

Not including the Legion class of course:

Let's see, Straight repaints: Deluxe Slash, Deluxe Slug, Deluxe Bumblebee and Voyager Grimlock, Leader Prime.

Retools: Deluxe Drift. Deluxe Crosshairs

100% New Molds: New Deluxe Bumblebee, Barricade, Beserker, Squeeks, Steelbane, Voyager Prime, Voyager Hound, Voyager Megatron, Voyager Scorn, Leader Megatron, Dragonstorm

Did I miss anything?


Likely to get new molds too: Cogman, Hot Rod. Several other characters seen in the trailer still up in the wind.

So far, 5 out of around 20 molds are straight repaints.

Don't forget the redder redeco of DotM Voyager Prime.

The problem is that half of the "new" stuff on the shelves right now are repaints. Sold at a premium. THAT'S what is really annoying. Sure, we must give time to the factories to produce the actual new stuff, but still...
