My god.
This is the first I'm seeing of this figure.
It's beautiful!

I normally don't collect movie figs, but I HAVE to get this one.

Yeah, something tells me this figure is gonna be especially hard to come by, especially if the wave 1 figures don't start moving at b&m...

Not only that but so far it is not part of any confirmed wave. It was removed from wave 3 and there is no case breakdowns of any following waves after that.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFuuuuuuuuuu...

Yeah Cogman looks great. I still think my fave part of the figure is that it's a rare case of a Titan/Head master being done on a very realistic looking car AND being a two seater like the real car is. A tiny Sir Edmund figure to sit in the other seat would have been the cherry on top.

So.. Cogman better be not some "store X exclusive" bullcrap.

[Kurona]

The winged out shoulder thing really makes Cogman look incredible. I think I might want him.

More likely a case of 'we'll never see him on shelves...'

If Generations Arcee is anything to go off of, I'd say theres a definite possibility. I really hope not, but you never know.

Well, I'm just glad to know that hasbros gonna end up screwing us out of Cogman (and likely wave 2,3, and if it exists, 4) so that they could put some of the worst figures in the line into wave 1 and slurging them all over the aisles

Other new toys to come at the tail end have been Skylynx, arcee and chromia and the sky reign deluxes. So it could go either way. What will happen for sure though is that he will be priced higher at BBTS for them to make up their lost cost on the other figures in the case that wont sell as well.

I mean, you say they're supposed to be on shelves, but, we all know that slash and grimlock are gonna stagnate on shelves like shelfwarming we've never seen before. At least that's literally whats happening in my area, 10 grimlocks, 7 slashes, and a few berserkers and crappy bb's, they don't move, worse even are the legion figures, which are all low quality repaints that no one is spending money on. So it's likely that if this happens at enough retailers, then we won't see much of the line

[Optimum Supreme]

I saw this thing at my Walmart on Wednesday, and decided to play with it. It is probably the stupidest piece of Bayverse merchandise released in the last 10 years. I felt myself losing an IQ point just standing there looking at it.

i saw these at my Walmart yesterday (friday) but didn't pay enough attention to even really be sure what it was. Much more interested in grabbing tr Cosmos and Seaspray finally.

The bumblebees all sold really well where I am. They were sold out for a while until we got restocked with the variant.

Cogman is a very interesting looking movie figure. Fingers crossed that this toy doesn't have any quality control issues. *cough*Trypticon*cough*

[D-Maximal_Primal]

So I got my TLK voyager and leader Megatron and voyager Hound. i have only transformed them once each, but man these are some good figures.

With regards to Hound, he is much better than his AoE self in my opinion. He is bigger, he feels beefier, he actually looks a bit more his size, and overall he feels really good. I miss all his weapons, but the feet/wheels are very clever and I love that touch. This is a great mold and I do like it so far.

Now for the Megatrons. They each differ so much that I find myself loving each in a very different way. The Leader has the best jet mode, I love it! It is amazing, and with the flame effects, it is a perfect jet mode. Spectacular. The voyager has a much better robot mode, and both have a very fun transformations. I cannot really rank one above the other yet, but they are both really well worth it!

Now everyone wants a Bumblebee? Where were they 5 years ago?

My stores are still stocked with Wave 1, but the Voyagers have moved to Wave 2... with Grimlock accompanying them, Leaders have arrived, and one single Target has a Dinobot Slug which is Wave 2. I guess that's still good...

Now that doesn't help me one bit! I don't have figures from any live action movie, so I'm trying to avoid getting both Megatrons. I finally saw the voyager at my local TRU and it looks nice in robot mode, and the scale is nice. Every time I think I'm just going to get the voyager, I keep coming back to that killer jet mode for the leader. Argh!

My local TRU is stuffed with Grimlocks. I think there were at least 9.

[Deadput]

I personally saw Hound in my area and wave 2 deluxes have been in my city for awhile at Walmart so slowly but surely they are coming out.


We still have a bunch of TR Sixshots shelf warming here and at least 5 Skyshadows here.

Some were only 5 years old or less 5 years ago and some even were but a twinkle in their father's eye.

I like this figure it's one of better deluxe figures

I am currently working on a comparison review as we speak.

[william-james88]

Of all the Transformers: The Last Knight toys in the Premier Edition (which turned out to just mean, "not for very little kids" and nothing else) one of the least anticipated was probably Crosshairs. His original toy was not one of the best in the AOE line and to have a new toy based on that mold peaked almost no one's interest. But things are about to change. Chefatron has a review up of this new mold and does a deep analysis of all that is similar and different between this new toys and the original. In short here is what has been changed:

- The shoulders so that they can be pushed away from his head
- The guns so that they can both be stored under the car
- The forearms for better screen accuracy and less car kibble
- The entire car shell for better screen accuracy and less kibble inrobot mode
- New pieces to evoke the trenchcoat look better
- Even the wheels are different

There are more and you can see it all in the review below.

Does cogmans leg transformation remind anyone else of barricades

Yup thats exactly what I was thinking. Hopefully he is easier to transform, I still haven't figured out the trick to getting baricades arms to go in.

As for wave 1 shelfwarming, thats how it is here. Tons of Slash and Grimlock. Haven't seen anything past wave 1 at Wal-Mart, tru, or target with the exception of Skullitron and Megatron at tru and I saw leader Megatron and Optimus at Wal-Mart tonight but had to pass on them since I already bought voyager Optimus. Also, leader Optimus robot mode looks so dinky compared to Megatron.

[Autobot Roadburn]

So I managed to finally get Nitro Zeus and Scorn from BBTS the other day. Scorn is incredibly fun, much better than the AoE deluxe. The transformation is pretty straightforward and the tougher parts aren't as awkward as I thought they'd have been. He's second only to voyager Megatron as far as Premier Edition figures go, and it's only because Megs is near flawless and has literallly zero qc issues. Nitro is alright, but I kind of wish he had the right head. other than that, tight joints, fun (very involved) transformation. I'm probably going to sell him off though, I'm really picky about his head. If anybody wants him, let me know.

I've gotten ridiculously lucky with my local Walmart, that's where I scored my voyager Hound and Megatron but I've been to around 10-12 various different stores (TRU, Target, etc) in the last few weeks and outside of a couple sightings of the voyagers and leaders I haven't seen a single sign of wave 2. There are Grimlocks, Slashes, Berserkers and the occasional Bumblebee clogging things up just like everyone else and I'm getting really tired of seeing them everywhere. I just want preorders to pop up for new Bee (or that 3-pack), Hot Rod and Cogman so I can be done looking around everywhere and getting disappointed.
