Seibertronian Deadput has let us know that there has been another one-step figure revealed! Beserker, who already has a deluxe class figure coming out, is now getting a one-step, as confirmed by Comercial Papeleroa Aragonesa, SL. While we don't get a view of his transformation scheme, it does appear that he maintains his deluxe class colors and robot mode appearance. His package appears alongside Hound, Megatron, and Grimlocks packages and with the Optimus Prime, Barricade, and Bumblebee figures. He will either be a wave 2 figure or potentially in a 3rd wave. Check out the image below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Wait is Berserker a police car in that one step or just a squished van?

Can't say for sure because the image is small and it's in a package.

Edit: Also 20 points news credits for Gryffindor Deadput!

Those Vehicons were based on cars in the movie akin to Longarm in 2007 and Rollbar in Aoe and they only had one original each mold anyways and it was not a deluxe.

As far as we know Berserker is not based on any particular vehicle in the movie and Berserker is also part of wave 1 with Bee and Barricade who are booth very important characters in the upcoming movie, yes Slash is in the same wave too but first it's a repaint not a new mold and secondly Slash or multiples of him were supposed to be in Aoe being in plenty of concept art so for all we know Slash is in TLK this time. most of these toy only characters come in later waves such as the Aoe Vehicon you mentioned who was an end of the line figure.

Also importantly Berserker has two new molds for him something Rollbar doesn't even have since his deluxe figure was just a repaint of a Generations figure as well as being in an exclusive box set I'm sure that Berserker is one of those hi and bye characters who won't be named in the movie but then again we also had no idea Nitro was a character until we saw him in a trailer then his toy and name being leaked for all we know Berserker never transforms in the movie.

I think Berserker is either one of the cons in the high security prison that was mentioned in early information or the junkyard with disposed cons who might or might not be dead which is for sure where Barricade comes from.

AoE Rollbar did get his own mold, a One-Step Changer. Funnily enough, it's a Chevrolet Sonic RS, fully licensed even, and his robot mode is based of RiD 2001 X-Brawn:

I did say that he did only get one mold.

Point is that Berserker has two new original molds to himself while Rollbar only had one along with most toy only characters Rollbar's deluxe was only a repaint of a Generations figure using the head that doesn't fit with the movie aesthetic seriously the boxart has the Crosscut head and his one step has a similar head which fits in much better.

Why invest money into two new molds for a toy only character instead of say Onslaught, Hooligan or Mohawk who are in the movie?

I don't think Berserker is important or anything heck I doubt he will transform but I still think he will appear he could always be fulfilling a role similar to Demolishor and Sideways from ROTF one of the behind scenes videos from awhile ago had a Crankcase head prop in a blink and you'll miss it shot.

i dont understand what the debate is about, Beserker is in the film. We see him in that same shot with megatron and onslought in the trailer.

He's right in the middle of this pic:

And if onslought gets a toy, it will just be a retool of rotf longhaul since they reused that model for him. Hell, hes even the same colour, so technically we already have a toy of him in the form of Longhaul. I have a junker with some sump truck parts missing, that will make a pefect Movie onslought.

While we saw the Legion Class figures for Transformers: The Last Knight at the New York Toy Fair, we had not recieved any official images for them and the ones on the show floor were painted prototypes. Well, we finally have our first official image of the new Legion Megatron figure as well as the others part of the first 2 waves which also includes Bumblebee, Optimus, Barricade, Grimlock, Crosshairs, and Drift, with Bumblebee being repacked for wave 2. Many are redecos of previous legion toys. These iamges come to us from Amazon France and ACD Disribution.

Wait! Is that a new Bumblebee? I have a couple old Legion Bees, but they don't have fold out feet and a blaster hand.
Maybe I just don't have that one.

It's the DOTM mold.

Legion Megatron will be mine!

Also, I don't like the deluxe Drift, but I may pick up the legion one. It actually looks decent

This may seem funny but are there any weapons included in them?

Bad enough when it's a redeco of an old toy of the same character but it's really annoying when it's a redeco of a different character from a different Transformers incarnation. I'd love a proper legion class Grimlock...

Most of these seem really lazy.

Also paint those windows on Bumblebee.

Megatron is decent for his size.

I didn't know that coz the last time I bought a legion class was a cyberverse prime one which included weapons.

A bomb just exploded into the quote box. 8-}

But yeah, since AoE, legions are absurdly expensive and come with no weapons at all.
If I buy any, it will only when on clearance when the TLK line phase out.

Yeeaah, is Hasbro's budget blown? 'Cause there's barely a new mold in this lineup.

Since AoE, there's a great apathy going on in movie legions. The golden years for this size class was the DOTM's and Prime's Cyberverse times. Those were glorious toys! There was even some playsets. Unfortunately, the sales were surely lackluster for that concept to last for only DOTM and Prime.

A pity the Cyberverse line has been replaced with this paltry Legion lineup. I'd love to see a Commander class figure of Optimus in his AoE/TLK body.
