[Carnivius_Prime]

It's been confirmed that that he can sit inside and drive, right?

You can seat two Titan Masters inside, side by side. Shame it hasn't got a tiny little Sir Edmund to take one of the seats.

Oh Cool! And a tiny Tony Hopkins would be AWESOME!

Was looking for this image here that shows Cogman's car opened up.

That deluxe Cogman is a thing of beauty!

I may go ahead and just pay the 30$ for it Day One.

Just got email from Toys R Us UK saying 25% off TLK figures. Wasn't active when I was in the store yesterday and they only had wave 1 figures anyways. The website however lists Wave 2 deluxes such as Sqweeks, Drift and Steelbane also reduced to £16.99 from £22.99 and Voyager Megatron at £24.49 (if you can find him) down from usual voyager price of £32.99 (as well as Wave 1's Prime and Grimmy) Also of note is Leader class Prime and Megs are both shown at £44.99 (with no mention of that being a Sale offer so I assume that's their regular pricing). And the lovely shiny Prime helmet is £59.99 down from £79.99

Basically these prices are what they SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Hope this link works for you

Why you gotta be all the time trying to pull me back in, movie line? I swore to myself after the last film that I was done with you, that movie toys have no place on my shelf... but there have been so many with this one that I've actually been interested in...

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Cogman is the standout wave 3 figure for me. That thing is beautiful, and I cannot wait to get him. The sword is good to me, and I wish we got a Sir Anthony Hopkins Titan master too!

Man, I may end up buying all of wave 3...

And I'd say that's saying something since the lovely new Bee is in that wave too.

Not just a mini-figure but an actual Titan Master? Of a tiny Anthony Hopkins who turns into a larger Anthony Hopkins head to proudly display on any Titans compatible figure to add a touch more class to them?

Got me wondering which Titans figures fit his most famous other roles... any Hannibal Lecter-esque Decepticons?

Oh it is, considering Scorn and Nitro are in the wave as well. At least he is the standout deluxe. we'll see about voyagers, but I am stoked to get him and Nitro together

Exactly. A Sir Anthony Headmaster. How could you go wrong with that?

gentleman's weapon.

That's kind of an oxymoron, isn't it? If a man uses a weapon, regardless of its nature, then he's not a gentleman.

Also, to those of you who already own them, are there big differences between the leader and voyager versions of Megatron?

[Mindmaster]

After seeing the movie, Cogman is a must-have for me. Consider it bought on sight for me!

I don't own Leader Megs but I've had Voyager for a while and comparing to the Leader Megs pics and videos they are very different figures in transformation and such. One big example is that Leader Megs simply swings his jet wings behind his back in robot mode, whereas Voyager Megatron's wings fold in segments around his legs below the knee surprisingly neatly. The front and cockpit of the jet mode forms Leader Meg's fusion cannon whereas on Voyager that area folds up behind him and the fusion cannon is actually stored very tidily (still permanently attached to arm) into the central rear of the jet. I prefer the small size of the Voyager's fusion cannon. Looks much neater to me and probably more movie accurate. Obviously the big feature the Leader has over the Voyager is the battle mask feature of the head. I do wish they'd include alternate heads with figures like Voyager Primes and this Megatron so you could swap them at any time since the Leader gimmick is probably too tricky to do at the smaller size. Also the Leader class has those cool flame accessories but you can probably find or make similar items to use on any TF figure. I think there's even small companies that produce various flame/energy/gunfire pieces for action figures anyway.

Obviously this is all just my opinion owning the Voyager Megatron and loving it very much. If the battle mask and larger size of the Leader suits you more than consider buying that one. For me the Voyager suits my Megatron needs just fine.

Man, I may end up buying all of wave 3...

You'll get Strafe too?

I might. I had the AoE one but my problem with the Dinobots in that line were the strange colour schemes for them when they should have all looked unified (like in the movie and even the G1 Dinobots) and while AoE Strafe wasn't the most garishly coloured of the Dinobots there the TLK redeco certainly looks more fitting

[the_neptrix]

It's been bothering me for a while now, but doesn't the transformation of cogman, particularly in the legs and arms seem almost the same as tr hotrod? Perhaps some shared engineering?

[william-james88]

We have two new Transformers: The Last Knight sightings for you. Mission to Cybertron Skullitron and Megatron were found at Toysrus (their exclusive retailer) in Los Angeles by TFW2005 user keldroc. A user from the same site, prime roller found Series 2 of the fan favourite Tiny Turbo changers in a Taiwan toysrus. This is the first worldwide sighting for these new toys. Hopefully there will be an identification guide shortly. That is the wave that includes Megatron, Barricade and Sqweeks. The wrapper is almost identical aside from having "Series 2" in the upper right side.

[Carnivius_Prime]

I missed the bit where it says Taiwan and thought those were some insanely expensive Tiny Turbos there. :O

[Dr. Caelus]

If I were fighting a giant robot and had my choice of weapons? I'd go with the fusion cannon, not a toothpick.

Ah, yes, the classic question - who needs a knife in a nuke fight?

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Forgot about him. Nope.

I am a bit on the fence about Crosshair and Drift, mainly cause Drift is so different in terms of color and stuff and Crosshairs because the alt mode looks much better.

Drift is a really poor attempt at a toy. It takes away anything good the original mold had and makes it worse. If you arent a fan of pieces not tabbing in and floating around, avoid him at all cost.

Well, considering you and I have about similar tastes in titans return toys but strangely opposite opinions on movie toys, I take this as a sign I should get him anyway!

But that red looks soooo good on him. Much better than the blue in AoE. Or maybe that was just on screen...

Thanks for the description. Sounds like the leader is more my preference, even though I would like the cannon to be more integrated into the jet mode, like the voyager has it. But with the battle mask (which I think it pretty cool) and his sheer size, I think I will go with the leader class. I really don't care for the flame/cannon fire pieces, I just see them as useless extra pieces. I will probably leave them in the box. It's what I did with voyager Prime's blue shield.

I can't help but think of Double Dragons when I think of the two next to each other.

The unpainted red on the toy looks a bit bland but a simple wash of black ink really brings out the details nicely.

[Kurona]

No colour scheme could possibly make that horrific design any good.

I'm just glad a lot more effort went into better, cooler designs like Nitro and Cogman.

A bit more than wash but, yes it does make it look leagues better:

Yeah, that one looks gorgeous. I just meant if you don't have the time or skills for a full custom paint job, then black wash is always quick and easy to just add some nice black line definition to details. Similar to how a dry brushing of silver paint can make areas look more metallic.
