Where did you get the gun for Optimus Prime?

Fellow Seibertronian Leokearon bought a Transformers: The Last Knight Tiny Turbo Changer which turned out to be Blackout. These seem to be true blind bags so you can't really tell which character you are getting. he took images to show the scale with other small Transformers figures. Enjoy!

Still he isn't a bad toy, he reminds me of the Bot Shots but with a bit more possibility (his arms are on ball joints and his hips have a single bar through them) and no Auto-transforming. The Rotors don't rotate though

I'm holding out for the Leader class Megatron. It may well be the only figure I get from the movie line, so I hope they appreciate it

Those crappy arm though, man! Voyager looks much better!

Also, Deluxe Drift and the later Bee look really good.

Just got back from Toys R Us with my sister and brought home the Last Knight voyager Prime! He's literally the only Last Knight figure I've seen anywhere outside of some one steps at Target and the Optimus helmet at Toys R Us. I just opened him up and haven't transformed him yet, but he does look good and worth the absurd hunting it took to track him down. No loose joints, good posability and nice paint. I'll upload a few pictures once I've messed around with him a bit.

From the Taiwan Hasbro Youtube channel, we have a new TV commercial for the Premier Edition TLK toys! The surprisingly somber advert features a very dramatic transformation of the Voyager Optimus Prime figure, as well as a showcase of the launch wave of the TLK toyline!

Check out the video embedded below, and share your thoughts in the Energon Pub!

These aren't true blind bags. There's a view window in the bottom left corner of the backside of the bags. I used it to get a full set already.

I just got him and he's incredible. The transformation is superb, even though he's still a complete shellformer. However, this time around the shell hide everywhere in a very clever way. The truck look fantastic and the bot is ever BETTER LOOKING THAN THE LEADER! Yes, that include my ultra expensive special new remold from Takara.

Considering recent developments, I have refined my want list for the TLK toys.

-New Deluxe 'Bee
-Voyager Prime and Megs
-Leader Megs

...yes, both Megses. The smaller one will be busy fighting Prime.

To anyone who's got a Tiny turbo Changer- are their alternate modes licensed or just approximations? Any sort of licensing information listed on their baggies? I have yet to see any tlk figures in stores and have been wondering.

News Credits: 23 · Tue Apr 25, 2017 7:31 pm

dont know if anyone noticed this but tlk slash has a new tail and i think new leg parts

The leader mold was never great looking in bot mode. Takara gave it an incredible paint job and al the retooled parts are top notch, but that never changed the big backpack and overflowing kibble. So yes, this one is a better realization of that Optimus. However, the deco on that Takara Leader is far superior.

Do you have pictures to offer a comparison?

They arent licensed. Neither are the one steps.

Not quite true. Tiny Turbo Changer Optimus Prime is still licensed by Western Star, tho the baggies do not show that, rather it's on the instructions. One can assume Bumblebee is licensed as well, but I can't be sure about the rest of the current cast. The ones from earlier movies are definitely unlicensed approximations. The redeco One-Steps should be licensed by pedigree, as the original AoE releases were.

Just for the record, these are the current active licenses for the line I'm aware of:

- Western Star 4900 (Optimus Prime)
- Chevrolet Camaro (Bumblebee)
- Corvette Stingray (Crosshairs)
- Mercedes AMG GT-R (Drift)

Still awaiting the licensing info for Beserker and Barricade, if any.

It's undeniable that the deco on the Takara special leader is superior. But as they say, a polished poo is still a poo. I still like my Tak Leader but... The Platinum Silver Knight is still above it. Now #2 thanks to the TLK voyager that is the actual #1.

I 'll keep it in truck mode for this glorious display:

Ah, Chevrolet Suburban, like Crankcase before him. Thanks, and noted. On that note, his One-Step toy is possibly unlicensed, having only one lightbar. I know One-Step Hound isn't licensed.

And Barricade... is he still a Mustang-based Saleen in the movie, or a proper Ford Mustang this time around?

Dont know, but his toy not being licensed might mean he isnt a proper mustang.

Why would Berserker have the Corvette licence written in the back?
