Good news for any German fans who would like to see the real vehicles used in Transformers the Last Knight. You can currently find Drift and Hound at the Mercedes Benz Museum at Stuttgart, Germany. The instagram page where the image was found only describes Drift (who is a Mercedes in the film) but we can clearly see Hound in the back, who is also a Mercedes vehicle.

While some of these were at toyfair, only Optimus Prime could be officially revealed due to the wait for licencing to be finalized. Well, the wait is over, at least for Bumblebee, Crosshairs and Barricade. These are non transforming 1:24 scale cars, in diecast, part of the same Metals Die Cast series you may have seen for other blockbuster films, like Batman V Superman. So, unlike the Simba Smoby diecast products, these should see distribution in North America. These are currently available for ordering at paulmartstore, where they retail for $28.99.

They're pretty neat, and they're Alternator-sized! I'm not that thrilled with the RPM/Speed Stars method of having the robot mode underneath, but o well. And yet again, Barricade is unlicensed. Ford must have been really playing hardball.

They've very nice and shiny. If I bought these I'd probably buy high-accuracy non-transforming figures of each character where possible to pose next to each car.

Do any of you have kids that like Transformers? Walmart sure hopes so because they have many new Transformers: the Last Knight themed clothes for them to wear. Some sleepwear and t-shirts have been found both on their website (the specific links are at the end of the article) and in stores, as CJ_thenerd has shown on Instagram.

Check out all the designs below!

Here are the links to get to the different shirts.

Thanks to smaller online toy shop, paulmartstore, we have more images of the upcoming Jada diecast vehicles inspired by the cars of Transformers: The Last Knight, as well as their accompanying collector coins, and the reveal of their Optimus Prime model! It's also been clarified that there will be two versions of the Cars for sale: one that's packaged with the coins, and a version without. Check out the new photos below!

We had images of the Jada 1:24 scaled diecast cars a little while ago and now the same source, Paulmartstore.com has put up listings for the 1:32 and 1:62 scaled cars. It is once again a mixture of Optimus, Barricade, Crosshairs and Bumblebee. The dioramas at the back of the 1:62 scaled cars seem to be interlocking to create one long diorama. You will notice that Hot Rod is not present even though he was rumoured to be made and that is because all JADA Hot Rod products will be Walmart exclusives. We have no images of him yet, so if ever you find a Jada Hot Rod toy in Walmart, please take an image and send it to us.

The 1:32 scaled cars are $9.99 while the 1:62 scaled cars are $7.99.

So relatively speaking:

1:24 is Alternator/Binaltech size
1:32 is Alternity/GT size
1:64 is Hot Wheels size?

I don't see it as a ricer look. Maybe because the mods are well done and look good on the cars? And it's not like they threw a wing and a splitter on a '01 Corolla or anything. They're top of the line Corvettes and Camaros, I think that helps for me at least.

EDIT: Plus, you've got a stock DB-11, Mclaren, and Centenario in TLK, so I suppose that's progress. (AND an old Citroën!)

More and more random merchandise for The Last Knight continues to come out as we near the movie's release date, including oddly enough some fancy-looking jewellery! Walmart is selling - exclusively to stores - a Hot Rod necklace and an Autobot/Decepticon symbol pendant for fans brave enough to wear them to a formal event. Check out the links, the images below and tell us on the forums if you spot these in Walmart!

A "Ricer" is an owner of an overly-modified cheap (normally an import) car. Think "Seventeen year old who wants to turn their beater into a Fast and Furious car". Lots of unnecessary wings, body kits and undercarriage lighting. Now this is not to say that all cars with wings/body kits/undercarriage lighting etc. are Ricers; Obviously when those mods are applied to a car that's of quality/actually meant to go fast, when the mods are applied correctly and fit the car (as most ricer mods are DIY jobs that look awful), and when they serve a genuine purpose other than to look cool, it's justified. From this "up for interpretation" definition comes our current debate. I can see where 'jam is coming from, but I just don't see (mainly Crosshairs and Bee) as looking Riced.

Don't talk to me about cars, man. I'll end up writing essays. :lol:

Jada Diecast has unveiled an additional model car inspired by the cars featured in Transformers: The Last Knight. While we've already seen cars like Barricade, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee, the lastest character to be featured is Hot Rod! He's a 1:24 Scale Model, with an opening hood, trunk and doors. He's going to be a Walmart Exclusive and will, as with the other models, come with a collector coin.

Those pillows are pretty damn nice.

And the Hot Rod car model is gorgeous too. Yeah a Masterpiece figure would be cool but they've only just barely started those and so even if they continue that subline extensively he's probably not a priority as such when so many other popular characters were in the earlier films. If only they could do those as often as regular figures but hey.

Plus, y'know, Hot Rod is an adjective for an actual car. On paper, "Lamborghini Centenario Hot Rod" totally could mean it's tricked out with a flame paint job and giant silver exhausts on the side- hey WAITAMINUTE!

Fans have been wondering where they could buy the die cast cars from Jada for their Transformers: the Last Knight line. These will probably be available at Walmart and Toysrus but you don't have to wait since they are all being sold on e-bay stores right now. They aren't aggregious aftermarket prices either, just standard retail prices which could save you some gas and time. You will find all the non exclusive cars in the 1/32, 1/24, and 1/64 scales, which include Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Barricade and Crosshairs. Since Hot Rod is a walmart exclusive, he isn't as reidily available and can only be found in select auctions. Hopefully this helps!

Please note that due to my Canadian e-bay settings, the prices below are in $CDN and show shipping to Canada. Click the image below to see the prices configurated to your location.

Thanks to Scottimus Prime, we have word that the new Transformers: The Last Knight stickers have reached retail! These particular stickers were found at a Walmart in Centereach Long Island, New York, and they feature Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Hot Rod, Megatron, and Sqweeks! While no price was provided, the small booklet of stickers were meant to retail around $1.98, so look for a price around that area. So head on out and check out your local stores, and this week be especially hot, as the movie is now hitting the big screens!

Itunes has added a sticker pack for iPhone users. The app is designed for iPhone and iPad. From the screenshot we can see some of the stickers in the pack are characters from the upcoming film, Transformers The Last Knight. Some of these stickers are also animated, how cool is that?

Featuring all your favorites, these stickers can be added to your messages to turn any boring conversation into an action-packed thrill ride!

Remember back a bit ago when we reported on the new shirts and sleepwear that were coming to Walmart, and one of the shirts was found? Well, now we have several new sightings for more Transformers: The Last Knight merchandise!

The first comes to us from yours truly, who discovered the rest of the shirts in a Transformers display this morning. You can see their stock images by following the above story link.

Up next is a sighting from Scottimus Prime, who found new Transformers Beach Towels for $8.94 at the Walmart in East Setauket, New York.

And Finally, we have some new Hot Rod costumes that have come to our attention, courtesy of Walmart.com. The costumes use 2 different design styles for Hot Rod, along with some gloves to go with said costumes.

Check out all the images below, and get your movie hype on!
