AllSpark Cube Optimus Prime Sighted at UK Tesco!

These have actually been at my local Target and Walmart here in NW Arkansas for quite some time now. I haven't bought any yet because I'm a bit underwhelmed by these figures. I always pick them up and ponder over them when I see them (Prime, Hound, Barricade are the ones I have seen so far), often times in my search for new waves of Titan Returns or the elusive Walmart exclusive Hot Rod, and always end up putting them back down because they don't do anything for me. I'm sure someone can enjoy these but seeing how the same ones are always there, doesn't look like anyone in my area wants them.

I see these at every walmart I go to, I've seen them both in Texas and Illinois. Btw I'm not really interested in these alspark tech transformers either, but makes sense for a younger audience.

Thanks to a listing from Walmart.com, we have news that a new Christmas tree ornament based on the Transformers: The Last Knight character Hot Rod has been revealed! This new ornament is of Hot Rod in his robot mode, and is listed for $7.47. The ornament is currently out of stock, but keep an eye out for it to come in stock so you can pick yourself up an ornament! Check out some pictures of the ornament below!

Why are all the TLK Hot Rods Walmart exclusive?

Some chains are able to obtain exclusive rights to merchandise of a certain character, and it's happened before:

DotM: Leadfoot was exclusive to Target, given that his real life vehicle mode has Target sponsoring marks. Well, supposedly exclusive, his first Legion toy was general retail, and his Japanese toys had the bulls-eye logo removed.

AoE: Stinger was exclusive to Walmart, though his One-Step toy (the only original mold if I may add) was accidentally shipped to other stores at first. Target had Silver Knight Optimus Prime.

Via our regular news finder Scottimus Prime, we have a sighting of an item from the non-toy portion of the Transformers: The Last Knight franchise just in time for the various holidays lining up in the next couple of months the official calendar for the Paramount live-action movie!

Available as both 18-month and 16-month lengths, the calendar has also been priced down from its retail price to 9.99 USD, and features artwork including Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, newcomer Sqweeks, Hot Rod, and token Decepticon Megatron, with a variety of 'catchy' lines (clearly chosen by marketing, and aimed at a younger audience). Check out the images from the Toys'R'Us store they were found at, and let us know if this is something you might be interested in by joining the Energon Pub discussion boards!

The art is quite nice actually. Maybe I'll hang one of the less ostentatious ones on the wall!

I want one.

I like how they used the same BB image four times in slightly different ways. That's quality right there.

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian news supplier Scottimus Prime, we have word that the Jada Diecast cars from Transformers: the Last Knight have gone on sale at Target! The particular figure shown here is the 1:32 scale Barricade figure, based on the characters new alt mode see in The Last Knight, and features the 8 barreled cannon that is toy features on the roof. The die cast also includes opening doors and the robot mode design etched into the bottom. The die cast would normally cost $6.99, has been knocked down to $4.88. The figure was found at the Target in Long island, New York.

Is this price drop enough for you to hunt him down? Let us know in the comments section below!

We have news of some fairly late newcomers to the Transformers: The Last Knight collectibles game, in the shape of diecast metal minifigures of the two main Autobots from the movie - Optimus Prime and Bumblebee - courtesy of Metals Diecast and their official Facebook page.

According to the company, these two slightly super deformed, 4 inch figures will be hitting retail at some point in April 2018, though we have no pricing at the time of writing. Check out brief descriptions and official shots below!

Here is a closer look at Bumbebee, one of our latest additions to the MetalFigs 4 inch lineup, based on his appearance in Transformers: The Last Knight. Available next month at major retailers. Will you be adding him to your collection? #Transformers #MetalsDiecast

These pretty cute. Might pick these up.

These look pretty cool! Bee's design is mostly based off his look in the first movie, and it looks like this Optimus might have better paint apps than the TLK voyager! I can't paint flames, Hasbro!

Stores have been getting ready for the big chocolate buying rush of Easter season and you can find almost any franchise made into chocolate right now in stores. Transformers in no excpetion. Right now, at Walmart Canada, you can find a 275 gram chocolate of The Last Knight Optimus Prime from Freddo. Check out the molding details of this very hollow product. It is also nut free. There were no other characters present. Let us know if you find other Easter themed Transformers merchandise when you do your holiday shopping this season.

From far away it looks like a turd.

you beat me to it, I was going to be a bit more sublte but.... . I really hope Death Reviews does this. It would go well with one of his earlier videos...I wont say which .

Rated X wrote:From far away it looks like a turd.

From close up too. Takes a bit to figure out who it's supposed to be.

I think they meant to say "Big Convoy" on the box

"Take a bite out of Prime."

(Forgive me).

If I got one I think I would bite the antenna off first.

Just like the last movie.

True, but this really looks like a dog pooped on the lawn. If you discretely threw it in a public swimming pool you could cause some havoc...

That's some "art sculpture"-talented dog-pooping.

At first, I thought it was Grimlock.



Then, I realised that perhaps, a company had released a product that truly encapsulated the spirit of the Michael Bay Transformers films.

Optimus Prime: strong, wise ... delicious? We will find that out today. A recent news post regarding an Optimus Prime Easter Chocolate had quite the following on social media. This being a regional yet fully licensed and rather peculiar product, I chose to buy one for myself to get a better taste. Below is a quick pictorial review, showing you what this product is all about, how big it is as well as a taste test.

What I find most intriguing about this product is how the box art and style is identical to the Premier Edition toys. With the same trio at the top.





There was also an image of Optimus Prime which you could colour on the back.



Here is how big the chocolate is.



And here it is next to toys more people have seen live.



The chocolate mold's sculpt is very intricate. It is extremely busy but there is a nice head sculpt. The sword has the detailed marking as well. There are stars at the top. I was wondering if the back had any sculpting but no. It does remind me of the state of Texas though when turned upside down, filled with stars (but no stripes).











As for how it tasted, well, this might be a Canadian exclusive product but I guarantee many of you have all tasted something very similar to it. It is simply your standard Easter chocolate taste. There are no nuts so it has none of the nutty flavour and it doesn't have that sweeter taste you would find in either Lindt or Kinder chocolates. It is simply standard milk chocolate, like any chocolate egg that hides Smarties or cooler chocolates inside, or any molded chocolate featuring your favourite characters. And unlike the standard ducks or dogs, you don<t have those ultra sweet candy eyes to mix things up. Still, it hits the spot if you want a chocolate fix.

I really wanna colour in that line-art on the back. *grabs my marker pens*

Nothing past the < appears on the news post by the way.

EDIT: Fixed.

Is it wrong of me that I look over these pictures and just *sigh* about missing Misfire?

It literally looks like a turd.

You should see a doctor (or an art expert) if your turds come out looking like that.

Nah, he's right... and no food stuff should look identical going in as it does going out.

Just like with a chocolate bunny, you should always start with the ears.
