The Energon Pub

Hasbro China's partner, JingDong, a big retailer company based in China, now has an exclusive figure!

Our new figure is Generations Voyager Class JD Red Knight, a retool of Age of Extinction Generations Voyager Class Galvatron. This new figure has a new chest and head, and is very red. Sadly, the figure lacks any accessories, meaning it doesn't come with cannon and missile from the original release.

The figure itself has JingDong tampographs over the figure, along with a pretty well painted truck and robot mode. His bio says:

When the AUTOBOTS need backup, this bot delivers.

This is translates over to the super cool, rockin' 3D animated commercial released on their Facebook page. It features Lockdown fighting Bumblebee, who is low on energon, until Optimus Prime and JD Red Knight come to refuel him and save the day.

Clicking on the images below will bring you to the weibo page, and the toy will be available for purchase this coming October. The commercial can also be seen below the images. So what are your thoughts? Tell us in the Pub forums down below!

Wow. I actually WANT this!
I'm a fan of the AoE voyager Galvatron mold. But seeing this retool and all that glorious RED make it even more desirable.


I do hope it will be buyable at a relatively reasonable price.

That's a LOT of red.

Robot mode ... meh ... reminds me too much of Stinger, but DAMN that alt mode! All that red looks really good on it.

Never bought Stinger. Maybe I should because he could be the "little brother"!

Wow, that red made the mold so much more attractive!

I think this would work pretty well as one of the KSI bots

This would go great with Universe Chevy Aveo Swerve.

Smart use of the Galvatron mold

I feel like we've seen this guy somewhere before ...

For a promotional exclusive figure that's actually quite nice. I like the Galvatron figure anyways and this is a nice retool.

I know; even their head sculpts are similar.

I must admit that looks pretty damn sweet. My favourite colour just happens to be red too!

Thanks to Weibo user 墨西哥巨人, we have some brand new in hand images of the upcoming Hasbro China JingDong Exclusive Red Knight figure! This figure is a major retool and repaint of the Age of Extinction Galvatron figure, featuring a pretty awesome looking new torso sculpt along with a very interesting new head. The figure also showcases a loud red and black color scheme, making him quite the eye-popping figure. He includes some of JingDong's logos tampographed on himself. He sadly lacks any accessories.

This figure was due in October, and we can see that he is starting to make his way out to the public. This figure is an exclusive to JD itself.

Check out the new in-hand images below, and let us know what you think of this Red Knight in the comments section below!

I legit thought this thing was a bootleg when the leaks started flooding in. To be fair the extreme monotonous colour scheme is not doing it any favours as a lot of that tasty detail gets washed out in all the red, and honestly I like how it looks better than the AOE Galvatron version (the toy that is, I hope we get a good SS Galvatron as I like the movie design a fair bit) but between the probably rarity, the terrible name and the fact he'd need some extra paint to not look ridiculous, I'll pass.

That said I don't hate him, and if I somehow end up owning one I'd be tempted to headcanon him as a man-made TF built by KSI at the behest of the Chinese government. He goes rogue like the other KSI bots but due to his base programming and some bizarre twist of fate, his newly awakened personality is as red as his colour scheme and he becomes the leader of the "DeceptiCommunists", a group of disenfranchised Transformers with a decidedly Soviet outlook on life. Perhaps call him "Red Menace"?

I'd like to have it, but only if found for relatively cheap on Mandrake at a later date.
