And both Berserker and Barricade are far from being phenominal.

Berserker I will give you cause he's fiddly, but you will take that back about Barricade

How can I when now we have several reports of breakage from people desperately trying to find something more to him than what the instructions say?

[Bumblebee21]

Barricade? What's been breaking

If you're careful, it won't break. Barricade is a different problem because the car shell is clear plastic, and not meant to be detached. The "riot shield" is a (very dangerous) fan mode, so I'd advise against trying that.

Funfetti Optimus Prime! Maybe this is a co-branded thing, and Duncan Hines will be selling matching cake mixes...

[WreckerJack]

Is it just me or did Megatron look darker at toyfair? I liked the black rather than the dark grey. Looked more realistic and sinister.

Not sure how I feel about that Voyager Prime. On the one hand, the deco looks nice overall. But on the other hand, the translucent plastic is turning me off of this figure.

(Also, I thought Skullitron was confirmed as a Decepticon.)

And why would a Knight of Cybertron be a Decepticon?
The product description for him and Megatron says the opposite with this line, "As MEGATRON leads the DECEPTICONS to wage war on Earth, SKULLITRON charges back into action to uphold his sacred knight’s oath".

I was under the impression that he's a decepticon, or at least is going to be marketed as one, going by the back of box photo we've seen.

A new advert has appeared on the Hasbro official Youtube channel, this time featuring Transformers The Last Knight RC Sqweeks! Surprisingly, we haven't seen a lot of this toy, despite him being one of the first TLK toys revealed, so this commercial does do a service for us fans. It shows of his different light and sound effects, as well as the attachable gun arm, and a dance mode, where it's suggested that he will start to dance when he hears music.

Thanks to the Asian TF fan page TFND, we have scans of a toy catalogue from Taiwan that shows off almost every mainline/non-retailer exclusive TLK toy revealed thus far (save for Deluxe Cogman and, strangely, Crosshairs). The high-resolution scans show off the Deluxes, Voyagers, Leaders, One-steps, Tiny Turbo Changers, and more.

It also gives another good look at toys like RC Sqweeks and Mega One Step Dragonstorm and their accompanying gimmicks, such as Sqweek's Dance Mode, and Dragonstorm's Cyberfire. Check some of the scans out below, and then head over to TFND for additional pages.

The HK-TF Facebook group has posted a photo of a never-previously-seen three pack of The Last Knight Tiny Turbo Changers, and while two of them we've seen before (albeit in different decos), this is our first look at Turbo Changer Steelbane! Yes, while it was thought that the Dragon bot would only be getting a deluxe class figure in the TLK toy line, it's obvious that, to some degree, this version of him will hit store shelves as well. It's unknown, however, if this figure will see a solo release in the TTC blind bags, although it will likely be exclusive to the set.

But...Deluxe Hot Rod is an exclusive just like all the other ones at Wal-Mart.

I am pretty sure he meant Cogman (and Nitro and Dragonstorm).

Whoops, fixed. So are Nitro and Cogman mass releases? (Too many sublines/retailer exclusives!!)

[Giant Purple Griffin]

This set looks to be part of the "Reveal" subline rumored to be Target Exclusive. In fact, it looks like they come with translucent weapons too!

[Deadput]

Yup Nitro is Scorn's wave mate in wave 3 and Cogman was the last deluxe from early listings of the whole line.

Only thing now is what's up with the Voyager Bumblebee listing that showed around the same time as Leader Dragonstorm perhaps it was a "code name" for either Scorn or Nitro to keep them hidden.

Thank you very much for the explanation, I now (mostly) understand .
I was out of the loop on vacation around the time the whole Cogman/Nitro/Hot Rod drop happened, so I hadn't gotten everything straight.

All you need to know is that if it's a new mold, it's general retail... Except for the Hot Rod Legion figure, which still exclusive to Walmart All his other figures are retools of the equivalent Lockdown toy (One-Step, Flip & Change, Deluxe).

.... "Chihuahua"? Oh boy, I have a sudden urge to NOT see this movie.


Tiny Turbo Changer Steelbane looks pretty neat. I really hope there's a way to get him without Optimus and Bumblebee, though. Either another wave or even just another exclusive set with characters other than those two. (Hell, even just EVIL repaints would've been acceptable)

Okay, that Turbo Changer three pack with Steelbane is a must-buy for me. It's just too adorable to pass up!

Yeah, here's the image in question that Kotori's talking about.

Considering that they've been putting those logos on the packaging to denote affiliation, it seemed to me that Skullitron was supposed to be a Decepticon, or at least evil. At this point, we should probably just wait to see the movie and let the official fiction settle this for us. The fact that he's labeled as a Knight of Cybertron is only adding more fuel to the fire on this. Again, let's just agree to wait for the movie to come out and see for ourselves.

Just to be sure, those are the blind-bag figures, correct?

[Cobotron]

Correct Kan!

Oh, and I just noticed they're rocking the decoder gimmick. Is that a target exclusive thing, or is that just speculation?

EDIT: ALSO, is that a rack of red weapons packed behind them?

Yes it is. I dont know if others noticed the chicken pox covering them.

Also, the target thing is still speculation, but a smart one.

And hasbro confirmed the turbo changers end at wave 2

And Jelze, the HotRod legion can be considered a retool depending on one's point of view. I personally fail to see how its any less a retool than the deluxe, which changes so much that the robot mode changes size and even has differently oriented kibble for the arms.
