Honestly he's one of the only figures I'm hunting ATM.

[Burn]

He was at my TRU today, but I'll be damned if I'm paying TRU's price for him.

Anyhoo ... onto old mate Megatron.

When this guy was unveiled, I wanted ... wanted wanted wanted.

Now I have.

And now he has a new name.

Captain Floppy Legs.

While the flame thrower is a fantastic addition, it tends to make that side of the body heavy, combine with a weaker hip on the same side, posing him gets difficult.

Guess I'll just have to steal the GF's nail varnish ...
(No comment about the alt mode, have yet to transform him)

Make sure the shoulder ball bars are correct. My dreadwing has two right ones.

Mexican toy collector Alex Buentello, via his Instagram account, has shared images of the upcoming new mold for deluxe Bumblebee in the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline! The new deluxe adds some spike wings to the car door ones, comes with the arm cannon, and is still part of the Premier Edition branding. Check it out below!

[Autobot Roadburn]

Agh, I can't wait for this guy to hit shelves. He looks amazing. I just need him and the deluxe Hot Rod (and maybe Cogman), then once I ship my Pile of Loot with Scorn and Nitro Zeus I'll have everyone I'm looking for out of the movie lineup. I managed to track down a voyager Megatron last week (finally) and I honestly haven't been so impressed with a Transformer in a couple months. The transformation is super smooth and fun, doesn't get in its own way and mine has all tight joints, also a first for me in a few months.

[Carnivius_Prime]

Need!

[Przemo24Pl]

I want him

[Rainmaker]

It's amazing, but the head looks off somehow...

I think it looks fine but maybe you can swap it for one of the many, many, many other Bumblebee figure's heads?

[Cybertronius Primus]

I really hope this guy gets over to the UK soon, he looks so good. I picked up the original Abominus mold from a car boot sale a few years back and was impressed, and this guy just seems to amend all my previous nitpicks with the old guy. Can't wait!

Transformed Megatron.

Started off with the instructions, decided to toss them aside because trying to read anything printed in those colours on that background is near impossible for me.

He's pretty easy to figure out though. But you have to do a lot of small/minor adjustments to make sure everything lines up perfectly to lock together.

His nose cone doesn't want to stay locked in place all the time. That takes a bit of wrangling to get things to lock in. As do the wings to the legs.

Once transformed ... he's quite possibly the largest transformer jet, not just the wingspan, but the length as well. He's a mish mash though. In some spots, lots of detail, very much a jet ... others, you can clearly see robot parts.

He's a good figure, and definitely better than his voyager version. But if they were to put Masterpiece level effort into him, he could be the greatest Megatron figure ever.

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

Yeah, that Bumblebee still looks awesome, I can't wait to add him to my collection. It'll probably be a while though, I haven't even found the wave 2 deluxes in stores yet.

[Bradimus]

I've haven't gotten anything since DotM and that was mostly cyberverse so this Bumblebee excites me because it looks like they corrected so many of the little issues with the previous versions. However I don't understand why Hasbro doesn't give Bee the transformable battle mask head they created for Battle Blades Bumblebee. That little minor issue may be the one thing that keeps me from getting this figure which otherwise would become my definitive Bumblebee.

Also, where is his hammer?

[Przemo24Pl]

when he will be avaible to buy

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

Also, where is his hammer?

Unfortunately he doesn't come with one. I'm sure a third party will have one soon, there's already one for the masterpiece figure.

In the meantime, here's a hastily photoshopped version of what this Bee would look like with the hammer (with an appropriately epic background, of course.)

[Carnivius_Prime]

That is a nice photoshop. Will have to get that backdrop printed out and stuck on the shelf behind Bee when he is released and purchased by the me.

Gotta disagree on that one. Voyager Megatron, imo, has better proportions, less kibble, and a wayyy better fusion cannon. Just my opinion though.

don't forget the...cough**oversized Wei Jiang Voyager**cough

[Quantum Surge]

I have a feeling that the potential 2018 Bee might take engineering cues from this Bee. Still, this figure should have been released, and the re/depaint of the AOE mold should have been used for any store as an exclusive.

I found the jet mode to be severely lacking in ... something. I don't know what it was exactly but once I transformed him I was left disappointed.

Both voyager and leader are still impressive figures though.

And Stewie, as I've said to others I will say to you, keep 3P discussions OUT of the official threads.

[chuckdawg1999]

So Hong Kong has gotten wave 3, except for Cogman, this seems curious at best.

That is an epic picture. Well done!

I agree with this. Voyager is an awesome figure in both modes. And I love how the wings go around the legs, and the fusion cannon isn't just the entire front end of the jet. Really love the jet mode too. Gorgeous toy.

In addition to the initial images we saw here, we now have a full series of in-hand shots of the Universal Studios exclusive Transformers: The Last Knight dinobot Snarl, in the new grey, black, and more grey deco - thanks to Hong Kong based toy photographer Oscar Fung! You can check out the images mirrored below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

[Carnivius_Prime]

Yeah I'd probably buy that Snarl if it wasn't an exclusive and I could just find it locally.
