Got me on that, it was the first pic of a gobots scooter search that I liked :lol:

I'd love to see a Scooter remake in the newer Machine Robo line.

I was actually thinking the same thing. Makes him an even more likely purchase since I do love some goofy RotF/HFTD figures.

This "Sqweeks" looks familiar somehow. Ah yes....

One more wheeled bot comparison for the history books:

I am getting tons of ROTF vibes from this line. That Berserker is totally a ROTF figure similar to the likes of Sideswipe or any other bot who had very little alt mode integration. And that Optimus is totally taking hints from Battleblades Prime for me. Like the idea that the entire bottom of the truck folds into itself for the legs and the arms making the front. I guess I am referring to the large amount of shellforming involved instead of the inside out technique AOE tried.

The website TTPM has revealed their MOST WANTED TOYS SUMMER 2017 list and Transformers: The Last Knight toys are part of it. They included Voyager Grimlock, Turbo Change Optimus and the Optimus Prime voice changing helmet. There is also a link giving a quick look at the history of the Transformers brand for those who want a quick history lesson to show someone.

"We've got to pick our most wanted for a list and we've got half an hour to deliver it to boss's desk." "Just get the first ones you find on a list and stick'em to the dart board." >:oP

In all seriousness, it's the most media covered, first voyager on tfwiki, and the last voyager on wave 1 on tfwiki. Little suspicious if you ask me.

I had a chat with my inner 8 year old and they told me that Squeeks and anything that changes into a dragon is "cool".

Oh and I'll tell you what else Squeeks is a bit like :

The Dark of the Moon "Go Bots" Bumblebee the one that wiggles when you push it along.

Oh and Death My ol' Pal look back a couple of pages and you will see we were on the same wave length.

I seen these "premiere" editions at my local TRU. Are they worth the $20?

I wasn't impressed. Jeez, I didn't even look a the deluxe prices after seeing they wanted $30 for the voyagers.

I will say that Slash looked pretty cool all metallica'd up ;)^

They were $20 at TRU. I kinda liked the Berzerker.

He stood out as the one I was most interested in. Had a cool rasta vibe going on. But really non of the TLK toys out so far have piqued my interest. I did pick up a couple tiny turbo changers though. They are fun little rubbery chunks of plastic to scoot around my desk.

Are they serious? That Grimlock is the same as the last Grimlock, there's nothing new other than the paint job, which doesn't give it the right to be $10 more.

I say try Berserker out. He is the better deluxe of the bunch and does show more effort put into him than the rest. Still not as solid and innovative as the Titans Return toys though.

And he makes a good DOTM Crankcase.

Kinda makes me laugh how divided people are between these two. Some say Barricade is a terrible shellformer and Berserker is better, others say Berserker is uninspired and Barricade is better. I don't want either so I'm just enjoying the drama.

Anyway, I walked around Walmart today for the third time this week, still no movie toys (though they did put out three cases of TR Voyager Wave 3 and one case of Wave 4). Really only interested it Tiny Titans right know from wave 1, but I would like to see Voyager Prime in person.

Every single wave 1 deluxe is uninspired and all are subpar by any standards of what makes a decent TF toy. I do personally preffer Berserker to the rest, but its just like I would rather have herpes than aids.

As bad as the colours on TR Kup might be to people, that toy is a way better purchase than any of these wave 1 deluxes. Just saying that if people want good TF toys, make sure you have al those wave 4 deluxes before venturing into these new movie deluxes.

Now as I promised, my thoughts movie Barricade, Prime, and Tiny turbo changers Hound.

Hound: These tiny titans are way better than anything of this type of toy before. They transform in one step, but they are so cute and fun! They have almost as much articulation as the legends! and Hound is so cute. He has some nice paint on his head and some on his chest, and he is a joy to hold, and for pocket change he is surprisingly worth it. Loads of fun, and I need to find Sideswipe. maybe pick up several more. come on he's $3 and he's loads of fun! He's about as much fun as the titan masters, and that makes him very worth it and loads of fun.

Barricade: Will, I have to disagree about the movie figures not being good or up to par. Barricade is easily better than some of the recent voyager TR figures and I think he's better than Hot Rod. He's really fun! He has some heft to him, he feels dense. And he may be short, but he is much stockier and dense. And the detail is awesome. I love the front of the car mode and he looks pretty awesome in both modes. The amount of special details like the knuckles show there was love put into him. The backpack is really not that bad and the alt mode actually pegs in fairly easy and tight on mine. Both modes are gorgeous, the transformation really isn't bad and is fun, and this is the good Barricade I've wanted since seeing the first movie. He is the best of the deluxe Barricades, and I highly recommend him.

Prime: They finally got one right. And man is he cool. First things first, he is well worth the money. Despite some not perfect paint apps, he has plenty of colors, and his transformation is awesome! It is loads of fun and far more satisfying than ANY TR voyagers or leaders that have been released. Fact. The alt mode is really cool looking and the robot mode is awesome. The chest is pretty awesome, the headsculpt is pretty cool, and it's amazing that most of the pieces end up where they are supposed to. They even manage to get the hood into the arms! He really works in both modes and the transformation is incredibly satisfying. I love the figure, and the kibble is really not that bad in hand guys, come on! The only main hindrance is that he had CW Megatron knee syndrome, but he looks really good and it's pretty cool how he folds up how he does.

Overall, Tiny Turbo Changers are highly recommended. Get at least 2 or 3. they are worth it and they are fun!!! Barricade is a really solid figure and fun for those who want that bad guy cop. And Prime is a finally good version of his knight body with a transformation that beats almost everything from the past 2 years. Get both Prime and Barricade. Do it.

Yup. Tiny turbo changers are freaking awesome and voyager Optimus is impressive. In fact that TLK voyager Optimus is as solid as HFTD voyager Battle Blades Optimus! Seriously.

As for Barricade, I'm really tempted to get him. Especially with the current TrU sale.

Do it, he really is worth it. Pretty solid figure, and a lot of fun to mess with. Weapons are really fun to mess with too
