Has Anyone seen the Deluxe Hot Rod yet

Nope, but if you spot him, PLEASE let us know.

[william-james88]

how can you tell if you got a variant in the store? is the barcode different or anything?

Its all the same. The only way to see if its a variant is to look at the very bottom of the clear plastic roof that you see unfolded in the packaging. If its really black at the bottom that means that what is on top of that clear plastic piece is also black and thus you know you have a fully black roof all across the top of the car. I hope this pic helps, you can see that the bottom fo th back section is all black in the package:

I found the Flip And Change Bumblebee in ASDA Gravesend, UK. It was priced at £24.97.

We have some HUGE news coming in today regarding some new Transformers The Last Knight toys hitting retail! Seibertronian Whirlkick has spotted not only the Autobots Unite Legion Class Two Packs, but also the highly anticipated Transformers Last Knight Deluxe Hot Rod figure, at an ASDA store in the UK! This confirms that the two packs, consisting of one with Hot Rod and Bumblebee and another with Megatron and Berserker, as well as Deluxe Hot Rod have started to trickle into stores, so it's only a matter of time before we see them in the US.
It also reinforces the fact that while the Autobots Unite subline is a Wal-Mart exclusive in the US, it will be exclusive to ASDA in the UK.
This makes sense, as Wal-Mart is ASDA's parent company.
Check out the photographic proof below, and let us know in the forums if you've seen any new toys in stores near you.

My ASDA is terrible for toys so I don't expect they will get him in - he is on the website though as is the 2 pack and Trypticon (for £150) so I'll see if they reduce them a bit before I consider biting £25.00 is a bit much for a remould.

[I won't embed it in case the toy has been linked to with another review]

[Carnivius_Prime]

Where the frick are these Asdas that have Transformers toys in them? Cos none of the ones I go to have them. I'd like Hot Rod dammit.

English review of the NEW TLK deluxe Bumblebee.
By, you guessed it, Chefatron.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Man, Dragonstorm is supposed to be so cool. Stop with the QC issues!

This is also why I am glad I wait on figures. It's almost always the first ones that have issues.

Oh and Leader and voyager Megatron and voyager Hound are in-stock at HTS. I got all 3 with the 20% off thanks to emails

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Thanks to reports from CDavid3 and Carytheone[/i], we have news that the Dancing Sqweeks toy has reached store shelves! This unique figure plays right into kids aspect of the line, and can be connected to an MP3 player to jam out to some jazzy tunes! The figure was found for $19.88 at Walmart, one of which was the Walmart in Milpitas, California. Check out the images below, and take a peek at a cool little Youtube video Carytheone was kind enough to take of the dancing figure!

[Carnivius_Prime]

Not sure if dancing or having some kinda episode but I like it. I wouldn't normally be interested in such a toy of most other characters who get this sorta thing but I'm fond of Sqweeks so it appeals to me.

[Rodimus Prime]

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.

The folks over at Toy-People.com have posted an extensive selection of pictures of Transformers The Last Knight Deluxe Class Cogman, far and away the most hotly anticipated figure the last waves of the TLK toy line. The images show off the figure in robot and vehicle modes, compares him to other TLK figures, As well as his accessory and headmaster. They also show off two unknown features, the amount of detail in his cockpit, and his flip-down chest, which reveals even more detail that's been sculpted in. Check out all the photos below

[Bronzewolf]

Oh my Goooooooood, I'm in total, infatuated, love with this thing. I love the way too huge, winged out shoulders.


And this whole thing is so ****** unnecessary, it's awesome.


Also, if anybody's wondering, the interior is pretty f'in accurate, considering the restrictions. Here's one I sat in at a local dealer for reference.

[Sigma Magnus]

Holy scrap I want it want it want it! I wish the stock photography would be more like this, they made it look even more awesome!

[Autobot Roadburn]

Ok, the C-3PO-esque circle in his stomach becoming the screw on the Headmaster is absolutely brilliant. I wonder if that was something they planned during his development that got inserted into his movie design? Either way dang it, now I want 2 Cogman figures so I can have one in his robot mode and the other as tiny, human size Cogman. There's nice enough detail on the Headmaster that some paint would look great.

[Deadput]

Damn Cogman is the best looking movie figure period (Disagree? fight me )




HNGGGGGGGG


I want him...I need him.

[ebo716]

Does cogmans leg transformation remind anyone else of barricades

[-Kanrabat-]

It's been a while since I was exited for a deluxe movie figure. Not even Squeek drew my attention. But Cogman... MAN, I'll pay the 30$CAN plus taxes without regrets!

[Tresob]

I hadn't planned on buying any of these movie figures...but this is one that could end up on my shelf.

[william-james88]

Is he really the best looking movie figure or is that photographer just one of the best instead? I bet he could make the Dragonstorm components look even better and we all know those are deeply flawed.

[DestronMirage22]

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.

I love the Titan Master/Headmaster gimmick and its integration into the movie line is one of the greatest things Hasbro's done in recent years.

Yes, but could they get the photos without the necks falling off

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...

[william-james88]

One of the most anticipated toys from Transformers: The Last Knight is the new Bumblebee mold coming out in the third wave of deluxes which should be hitting the west soon enough. We have some english language reviews of this figure which were brought to our attention by fans. One of these reviews is from Seibertronian Chuckdawg1999 and others are from Chefatron and Emgo.

Enjoy!

Oh look another Bumblebee, this one surprised me with how small it is. This is probably the easiest transformation of any Bumblebee I've handled, which I appreciate but it also feels rather boring in hand. The swappable arm gimmick is nice but I'm concerned that the joint will loosen over time and use. If you're a fan I'm sure you'll enjoy this figure.

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.
