I really hope I can get the Optimus two pack, the Leader Optimus, and Deluxe Bumblebee 3 pack soon and in good prices/availability. Hasbro's announcements tend to get inconsistent.

Neat. Takara's renamed the Deluxe Megatron as "Stealth Megatron".

Chefatron Review Calibur Optimus Prime :

P.s.

I rather like the idea of this mould decorated in the 2007 deco - as then the flames on the roof would add a bit of needed detail to the robot shoulders and add some visual interest and it would be a nice change from the default deco - also the orange weapons would match the orange paint accents on the hood then too.

We've included below three video reviews for your viewing pleasure of the Takara Tomy Transformers: The Last Knight TLK-15 Calibur Optimus Prime! The Leader class Autobot commander comes with a new shield accessory/removable backpack, plus axe and sword, and isn't too dissimilar from Lost Age AD-31 Optimus. Check them out!

I meant I bought caliber Optimus. It's badass. I love the shield idea, and axe looks wicked!

I would probably go as far as to donate a organ or twenty for one of those diaramas.

They are indeed awesome. Bah.. my figures look like crap on a regular shelf now I seen how they could look in actual battle scenes lifted from the films.

I like Bumblebee's stance in this photo. Like he's about to fight or break out some awesome dance moves. Really cool figure but damn I wanna paint those grey bits to look metally nooowww! His hands and feet should have some yellow in places too but I got paint for that also.

Ok, so the lineup is:

TLK-20 Autobot Hot Rod (general Japanese retail? Yay I suppose)
TLK-21 Crosshairs
TLK-22 New Bumblebee
TLK-23 Strafe
TLK-24 Dinobot Scorn
TLK-25 Decepticon Nitro

TLK-27 Speed Change Autobot Drift
TLK-28 Speed Change Dinobot Scorn

TLK-26 seems to be missing, but I'd wager that's for the Speed Change Autobot Hot Rod toy.

Speed Change Scorn seems to do the thing more convincingly than the cars do judging by these pics.

Comment by Jelze Bunnycat Jul 31, 2017

OK, wasn't too far off with my guess for TLK-26 :lol:

Scorn seems have a rather upside down view in dino mode, and on his belly to boot.

Kinda like how I always transformed my G1 Jetfire
(can't find a pic of it and most other people turn the head around but I found one of the same Macross mold that shows it)
