Aye! I'm a bit miffed that they're not gonna be bringing out Canopy, Dreadbot(Hooligan), Trench(excavator transformer from the junkyard), Mohawk, Bulldog, HMS Alliance(sub) transformer, DOTM Jetfire style bot who turns into a Hawker Hurricane, Onslaught, Daytrader, & the mysterious red McLaren as toys

I miss when the movie lines would make toys out of random cars in the movies. I was really hoping the Age of Extinction lineup would make a Transformers out of T. J. Miller's character's Mini Cooper.

Here's my vision of what the mainline TLK toyline would be like:
Deluxe:
-Wave 1: Bumblebee (new mold & hammer), Barricade, Drift, Berserker
-Wave 2: Sqweeks, Mohawk, Hot Rod, Cogman
-Wave 3: Daytrader, Dreadbot, Crosshairs, and Steelbane
Voyager:
Wave 1: Optimus Prime, Grimlock (w/retooled head like the Armor Change version)
Wave 2: Megatron, Hound
Wave 3: Onslaught, Nitro Zeus
Leader Class:
Wave 1: Optimus Prime (same as Calibur retool but with silver paint replacing chrome), Megatron
Wave 2: Dragonstorm

Did I miss the announcement that Sqweeks is getting replaced as an allspark power starter set? I just saw the figure on Amazon, 3rd party seller pre-order.

I think "3rd party seller", as in someone else (not Amazon themselves) selling the item.
Sorry I can't help either, Chuck. I don't have any idea myself, maybe I should be keeping better track of the TLK toyline...

Now I dont like to be overly negative (nor overly positive) but I really feel someone **** up with The Last Knight toyline and how its being distributed. I have always been under the impression that if toys arent out, its there retailer's fault. But every when every single retailer doesnt have product out, it makes me look at the supplier and thats where things make no damn sense. The toys should be out for the film, right?! And yet the film has come and gone and this line still hasnt been fully released at retail. Anything past wave 1 has been scarce in the US (from what I read here), the leaders just started being found easily recently, but no sign of Dragonstorm. Plus no sign of that deluxe Walmart exclusive Hot Rod. We know that the toy has been finished for a while now, and china got him. So, with that being the case, where the **** is the hold up?! Does Walmart not want this guy from hasbro yet? Or do they have him and are sitting on him? None of those make any sense but neither does him not being released. Since he has been made and boxed, there are loads of em stocked somewhere at some point on the supply chain instead of being at the end of it, up on the shelves. And this seems to be the case for the rest of the line which has yet to see saturation. I just find this whole undertaking bonkers. I dont know who to blame exactly, but for your most profitable toyline, there have been some major mistakes made across the board.
The RED FLAG for me... is that wave 2 has been on Hasbro Toy Shop FOR MONTHS. They NEVER get things "fresh and new" we had the same issue with blitzwing and tankor. They're just NOW hitting saturation on the west coast (or it's the rare stray case).
I don't know if retailers were tucking their tails and waiting for FORCE FRIDAY to blow over.... I don't know if we'll suddenly see a wealth of transformers for November/December.
At first I blamed it on "back to school"... for places like Target... but that came and went too.
All I have to say... if the Movie line catches heat for "not selling well" again... it's not because the fans aren't trying to find them....
They at least learned their lesson and didn't clog up the transformer shelves with all that weird stuff from AoE.

I also have a hard time believe it's a Hasbro thing... Since again, Force Friday pushed... and I still see (some) new Marvel figures....
I can see Target dropping the ball because they stock all their deluxe/voyagers/leaders by the same DCPI codes (so the associates/stores?) can't actually tell the difference from a stock perspective. That always bothered me when I was a sales associate (though I'd also rotate stock versus letting it rot too).

Yeah it's weird I never heard of it and thought Megatron would be the last of that sub-line. The listing does have official pics fyi. Any idea if WalMart got the legion 2-packs in? I doubt it if they still haven't stocked regular Hot-Rod.

Well...that answers that...but hopefully we'll get a pic or even video review of Allspark Tech Sqweeks coming soon, so we can check if it's worth getting ourselves
As for shoddy distribution
the UK's still stuck with Wave 1 of the Tiny Turbo Changers, so no idea when Wave 2'll ever arrive? to get Sqweeks, btw...Ebay ect don't have Tiny Turbo Changer Sqweeks either! even though they have the other Wave 2 figs, nor does the UK yet have Deluxe Cogman or Nitro Zeus(still waiting for those guys too & YES!! online retailers prob have those in...i know Kapow did/does or will) but the point is that they haven't yet adorned the bricks and mortar store shelves here in the UK. I mean ok! when it comes to transformers bricks and mortar distribution as a whole...the UK's always had a bad reputation in that department.

Ok, so I found a Barricade tonight and snagged him since I'm impatiently waiting for wave 3 Bumblebee and MPM Optimus to get here - this is my biggest Transformers purchase regret in years. I don't know if this is a widespread issue with him but my copy's joints are ridiculously floppy to the point he can barely stand up and his chest doesn't even hold down well. The worst part is I really like how his robot mode looks in general (though I'd prefer the WAY cooler head design he actually had in the movie, I'd be tempted to tighten the joints myself in that case) but if he can't even stand on my shelf there's no point in having him. Sorry to all those that liked and recommended him but I'm returning him to Target tomorrow. What a mess.

It sounds like it might be an issue with yours in particular, unfortunately. My Barricade stands up fine with no issues. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've heard of this issue happening with Barricade before. Anyways, I'm sorry to hear that yours won't stand up at all. Hopefully you can get it replaced.
On an unrelated note, I managed to get a hold of Legion class Dragonstorm. It's a fun little figure.

I caved and bought one from a scalper on Amazon. The third-party seller at least got it to me reliably. Not happy with the amount I spent on it, but considering the serious distribution issues we've been seeing, I figured that I might as well snag it in case I never see it at a store at all.
