I'm still on the hunt for NITRO ZEUSSSSS, but deluxe Sqweeks finally showed up at Walmart! I bought one of two remaining.....and wow, he's lots of fun -- from his random BIG GUN to his repair bay, there's a lot here.

He inspired quite a few ideas, but I ran outta time. I will have to take more pics tonight. :RUBSIGN:

In other Hascon news relating to Transformers: The Last Knight, and other movieverse products, we have a gallery to show off of current and upcoming figures, which were on display including Deluxe Class COGMAN, BUMBLEBEE, and Walmart exclusive Deluxe Class HOT ROD, along with other products from Dark of the Moon, Age of Extinction, and even as far back as Revenge of the Fallen and the first movie in 2007!

Pretty sure Bodrock and I had about the same idea with Sqweeks. He is a really great deluxe figure that you guys should check out if he shows up for you guys!

Amazon just posted a bunch of TLK wave 3 stuff. I nabbed a wave 3 bee. There may only be 1 left (direct from Amazon at MSRP, tho there are overpriced 3P sellers).

Hasbro has posted a new Designer Desk video featuring Transformers: The Last Knight Megatron. Do you have this figure yet? Do you feel it's as much a highlight of the line as when it was first revealed? Let us know!

it looks good, but the nosecone gimmick isn't as refined and the hips need ratchet joints. Jet mode looks great, and I'd love to display it with a stand a la the MP Seekers.

Wed Sep 13, 2017 1:15 pm

He's pretty awesome overall. I don't mind his fusion cannon being huge in robot mode cause it's like a big melee shield and doesn't look so out of place next to Calibur Prime. But yeah that nosecone gimmick sucks. It pops open all through transformation. Ditto on the lack of hip ratchets. The minuses ain't dealbreakers for me like Leader Prime's truckpack and complete lack of paint though. I think he's one of the best looking figures from TLK, and his alt mode is just epic.

I'm surprised to see no comments about the GORILLA ARMS. I mean those things bothered the heck out of me. I have the figure and the gorilla arms are so annoying. if only. but then again you can't have everything in the world.

He has wrist and bicep swivel, so the gorilla arms only happen if you want them too.

To be fair, the choices boil down to "gorilla arms" or "giant gaping wrist-holes". The reason I haven't voiced much on Leader Megs is simply 'cause I don't own him, nor do I plan to - I'm extremely happy with the Voyager I have, and having seen the Leader once in person (at a Toys R Us), I just couldn't work myself up to paying Leader price for another TLK Megatron when the one I've got is all I could ever want

We know these have been out at certain e-tailers, but many are still searching for Voyagers Scorn and Nitro from Transformers: The Last Knight. Well these are now being found on Amazon and at Walmarts. Fellow Seibertronians Megatron Wolf and reluctantyouth found them in a Walmart in New York (state), and on Amazon, respectively, where Nitro is already sold out. Good luck with the hunt and let us know if you find them in the sightings section and sightings forum.

Thanks for the shout out. I hope some fellow Seibertronians were able to pick up Nitro before he sold out. I just checked Scorn and there are 14 in stock still. I'll wait for Scorn if I find him locally great.

Thu Sep 14, 2017 11:29 am

I found these almost 2 weeks ago (on 9/2/17) at ShopKo so you might want to check there if you are looking for them.

News Credits: 3 · Thu Sep 14, 2017 1:13 pm

Walmart, eh? Well, that's where I hunted down Sqweeks so....here's hoping I see Nitro!

News Credits: 4 · Thu Sep 14, 2017 5:05 pm

Didn't realize no one had spotted these guys lol... I bought my Nitro at Walmart like two months ago. Scorn was there too...saw them at a Target couple days ago.

Guess I will pay more attention next time...although I would've started a hunt that apparently no one would find till now.

Thu Sep 14, 2017 5:15 pm

I already reported my sightings to the board, but I'll just reiterate it hear for convienance. I spotted both Nitro and Scorn in Mission, Tx at a Wal-Mart, so if you live there better check and see if they still have them or if they have more.

Friend of the site and Toy reviewer at large, Chuckdawg1999, has posted up a new video showing off the most recent, and final, wave of Transformers The Last Knight One Step Changers! The assortment, consisting of Scorn, Drift, and Cogman, had started to hit store shelves quite a while ago, but thanks to the notoriously infrequent distribution of the TLK toys, they're still quite hard to come by! Check out his review, and his opening thoughts, down below!

I hope that's not the only Cogman that will show up at my retailers. My closest Walmart is STILL stuck on wave 1! Unbelievable.

Thanks to a post over on Ozformers, we have confirmation that the Transformers The Last Knight Voyager Class Nitro and Scorn have been found in Australia! After being spotted at Walmart in the US just a little while ago, these hotly anticipated figures have popped up in a Target in Perth! Unfortunately, we don't have a picture of the figures on the shelves or of a receipt, but it does provide some hope to Australian collectors that these figures are starting to appear at retail!

Thu Sep 14, 2017 8:57 pm

I snagged voyager Nitro and Scorn in the good old OH today. Still no eyes on Sqweeks or Cogman. They got enough Slash and Grimlocks to make a new Jurassic Park flick though. :shock:

News Credits: 19 · Thu Sep 14, 2017 10:27 pm

speaking of Sqweeks.....did you know that an OS one is available

News Credits: 2 · Thu Sep 14, 2017 11:23 pm

So... I think I got the last Nitro @ $29.99. But seriously... now they're jacked up to over $100 through 3rd party sellers??? Can people seriously just "buy" them from Amazon and then warehouse them for re-sell THROUGH amazon... That **** makes it WAY TOO EASY for scalpers.... and the way Distribution has been (at least in) California... it really makes the Hunt(ing) depressing.
